If anything GGG looked pretty pissed off, which can only make things worse for Brook.
haha what made you think that thought he put a decent poker face LOL, but they both looked solid !
Just the way he spent most of it looking round the room with disdain.

I thought Brook looked better at the weight than Golovkin did. Not that it will count for much in the actual fight.

I don't think the Ingle crew have a clue what they are walking into here.

I expect Brook to be beaten with ease tomorrow.

Thanks for posting the video.

Brook looks solid for 159.4 (much better than Khan did at 155) and would probably fit in okay at 160; GGG looking pretty much as usual.

I suspect he is probably not feeling 100% but you can be sure that whatever he's feeling it'll be more than good enough to dispatch Brook tomorrow. If anything he may actually come out and take no prisoners at all and look to end the fight quickly.

GGG definitely looked more serious than usual to me (e.g. less smiling). Not what that suggests; maybe he's not feeling great, but perhaps it's a sign that he's taking the fight more seriously and feels less friendly with his opponent having enthusiastic home backing.

Yup search and destroy job he is going to jab his way into Brook then finish him with a body punch in round 3

Yup I had the same feeling when it was announced 8 weeks ago thought GGG will dispatch him early but I think that Golovkin body punch is going to be lethal

Thats true Brook could be as lean as Bruce Lee but when he feels GGG's punches he will ask himself why he didn't cut to 147 and unify haha

What did everyone make of Brook and GGG's appearance on the scales?

All this talk of GGG looking peaky, I thought he looked fine.

Brook looked good at the weight and GGG looked as usual. He did act less smiley than normal, but that could just mean he's taking it very seriously.

GGG looked a bit edgy and annoyed but that could be a bad sign for Kell. Kell looked relaxed and confident. Kells obviously in a good place and good condition and might even start the fight well but as soon as he feels the power I think all that's going to disappear unfortunately. I really like both guys but I'm supporting Brook. I hope at the very least he gives a good account of himself.

GGG looked as usual. He never looks too comfortable with face offs and staff.

Brook looked fantastic, great physique and for once he doesn't look emaciated.

GGG doesn't seem his usual self. Kell might be in luck.

Yup, I think most of us have seen GGG at these events before and dont read much into these face offs etc but Kell is in top shape fair play to Sheffield Hallam Uni

Standard GGG to be fair, I am so glad the build up is over this week felt like a year !

I always take it as a good sign if an opponenet looks angry pre fight. I like it when fighters throw the opponenet off their usual game. Being angry can hinder a fighter massively.

I don't think he was angry I just think he is fed up of the build up he wanted to bounce after the weigh in !
