Both fighters to be knocked down & GGG to win - 14/1

This stood out to me too.

Brook needs to keep close to GGG. Try and smother him.

He needs to start with a headbutt

I doubt GGG has no intention of finishing this early. The top guys in his division (Canelo, Jacobs, Saunders) are running from him. If he looks bad and gets a late stoppage he will likely be able to get a fight with those guys. If he lands a KTFO in the first minute I think those guys will be even more reluctant to fight him.

That's true - I heard on the news that he wants to unify the titles and box Saunders after Brook.

That is another easy job for Golovkin so he won't want to frighten him off

Are you serious? No way is Brook putting Golovkin on the canvas.

Golovkin inside three- if Brook does manage to fiddle his way further I don't see him winning any rounds

Hope i am wrong.

Can't see it to be honest GGG is going to want to get booked again, I think he'll really step it up at the half way mark for a 7 rd KO.

4-6 but via towel & before he is remotely hurt

I've just got this funny feeling about tomorrow, something out of the ordinary is going to happen... Not saying Brook is going to be able to pull it off.

Can see it being finished in round one for instance, or GGG to be knocked down early, something is nigging away about it - wish I could zone into it and bet on it, that would be helpful

Round 6

No idea about the amateurs, but Karl David dropped him in the pros (3:58).

Great catch mate.

All the way to the end and a points win...

Okay I've stupidly put so more money on Golovkin to stop Brook between the 7th and 12th. £200. Not gonna lie, thinking to myself you idiot but hey some times you have to take a gamble.

I'm gambling on Golovkin taking the same methodical approach he took against Stevens and Lemieux and break then down systematically and by his standards slowly. Also hoping that he wants to delay the fight somewhat so he doesn't scare Canelo or Saunders away anymore than they already. Does anyone think my bet has a chance or have I just been a completely knob?! Lol.

GGG is a beast, but people have made it that far with him before, and I expect Brook to be defensive-minded.

I have an odd feeling about this fight, something is telling me Brook is going to sneak it on the cards.

Yeah. Obviously we don't know what he's like at middleweight but I do think by and large (if the punch resistance he showed at 147 carries through to 160) that Brook fundamentally has a pretty decent chin aside from being a defensively minded fighter most of the time.

I don't really care when he gets taken out, aslong as it's not before the 7th. I mean munroe made it to the sixth himself although he did move a hell of a lot. Brooks mobility isn't the best I don't think. Time will tell guess. If I lose then so be it- I learn a lesson in the process.

I had the same feeling for Fury, Frampton, and Barker.....although this one is slightly more unrealistic

I'm desperate for GGG to do him in 2 rounds.

I hate PPV with a passion and hopefully an annilation of Brook knocks some sense into the casual fans brainwashed by sky.

The majority of people gave them all chances at least 50/50 60/40 fights. Also Tony Simms flat out turned down GGG for Barker in London. That is fact it is in his book.

I have money on Brook making it to the 7th. Don't bloody jink me

Ringside judges are Eddie Hearn, Barry Hearn & Adam Smith so possibly could happen

1 or 2 rounds.

What odds did you get? I would want as long as 4/1 to bet on that.
