I don't think it's an excuse though. He looked like there was still weight to shift at the weigh in, so 147 is his weight. Brook says he's 154 so hopefully they can meet in the middle
He boxed at middleweight but won't do anything but 147 for an even bigger fight
Even bigger fight.... bwaaaahahahaha

He fought at middleweight in a no lose situation though mate. The Brook fight is a big fight for both and neither will want to lose and both will want as much in their favour as possible

Khan doesn't want any part of Brook. He's scared to death of losing to him.

I think it’s safe to say that Khans 3rd fight with Matchroom is against Brook. And he wins.

It's isn't a bigger fight money wise, think he $8m for Canelo, he won't get that for Brook

I reckon the Matchroom plan is Khan v Broner next then assuming he wins Khan v Brook.

the ideal scenario is Khan picks up a title at 147 and Brook wins a title at 154 and they meet at 150 straight after.
Khan vs. Mathysse WBA 'reg'
Brook vs. Castano WBA 'reg'...

Well they're not exactly going to be there for Lo Greco! I'm certain Khan has more 'white' British fans than Brook!!
You might be right mate, I'm a celebrity done him no harm at all. Before the show I think Brook would have had more supporters
Nah. There’s not a point since they have been professional boxers that Khan had fewer supporters than Brook. Brook isn’t known outside of ‘boxing people’.
Brook-Spence was a LOT better attended than any Khan fight ever.

Yh, Brook fighting GGG done him wonders tbh. Got more people behind him. Bramall Lane was full of locals..

Khan has been selling out arena's in UK and USA..

In all fairness that was impressively quick from Khan, I never thought he'd get Lo Greco out of there that early, the handspeed is still there, the 1/2 for the first KD was rapid and the finishing was quick and accurate

Khan still wild though, you could tell even after 40 seconds

thing with khan hes so fast and throws combos, so against poor opponents he can really catch them early and bomb them out

i dont think it really says much beyond hes still fast though, lo greco blows

I said it before, Lo Greco is dismal. What was he doing for the first knockdown. Just terrible.
