Kell Brook beats the odds Shades of B-Hop vs Tarver

Brook Shook up the World

First of all, this is hoax. Second of all, the only way Brook beats GGG is if Golovkins hands are tied. Flu is not enough. Not even close.

He wouldn't be fighting if he had the flu.

He fought Ouma and Rosado when being under the weather.

Fine. I said he wouldn't be fighting if he had the flu. He may very well have a cold.

He has got the Flu, diarrhea/vomiting

Where did this bit of information come from?

More than likely norovirus if he even has these symptoms or is even ill.

Actual Flu is pretty debilitating and it's not that common people have sickness and diarrhoea with flu given that it's a respiratory virus.

He doesn't.

Unless there is something wrong with GGG - as some are speculating - he will make this an early night.

Flu is very debilitating. If a fighter has the flu the fight has to be cancelled. Tell me about it. I had a horrible flu a few years ago. I could only talk in a whisper. Extremely painful cough in lungs. Very high fever. Not at all like a common cold. It would be impossible to fight.

Correct, try influenza is debilitating, I've only had try influenza twice in my life, influenza a about 15 years ago and my family and I had swine flu six years ago, influenza a was by far the worst of the two, put me off work for quite some time and out of the gym for months.

Absolutely. I remember when I had the flu and it's no exaggeration to say that a four-year-old could have beaten me up in that shape. I had nothing. No strength. No energy. Completely zapped.

yes cold more likely than flu but still debilitating.

I had swine flu 6 years ago also. My daughter was only 15 months old and caught it at the same time. It absolutely knocked me off my feet. I was in work and was having a good day then started feeling a bit under the weather then it just got worse and worse. By the time I was heading home I was struggling to walk! My Mrs at the time was on the phone to NHS24 and I was slipping in and out of a sleep. I got over it in around 5 days.

My daughter having it was the worst. We nearly lost her. She had to get two lumbar punctures and several other tests done over two weeks. She was in intensive care for the majority of her time in the hospital. They even moved her to Yorkhill (specialist children's hospital) after a few days. I wasn't allowed anywhere near the hospital because I was suffering.

After the weigh-in:

is this not aired on any european tv stations other than sky ? can anyone pm a link please. either stream or where to watch. have all german, danish, swedish and norwegian channels, but it seems none is showing it ?

3G definitely looked to be under the weather at the weigh-in. He seems a bit too light also.

That isn't enough to pull me off of a 3G by stoppage call on PTBF.

This morning weights:

Brook, who weighed-in slightly heavier than Golovkin at 159.4lbs at Friday's weigh-in, once again tipped the scales as the heavier man, clocking 168.4lbs.

Golovkin came in at 167.8lbs, an increase of just under nine pounds.

Another quote:

Sky Sports News HQ reporter Fraiser Dainton said: "Brook is in great form and he's had a good night sleep. He's gained nine pounds and same story at GGG hotel.

GGG is apparently in good form. He didn't look happy yesterday but I'm told that was down to traffic congestion."

Steve Kim ‏@steveucnlive 10h10 hours ago
"I saw zero sign of illness,"added Lampley about being around GGG at the fighters meeting. So that's his view #boxing

His trainer and team say it is absolutely false. He is totally fine. Believe false rumors of it makes you feel better.

I don't "believe" anything other than 3G wins by stoppage. That doesn't change the fact that 3G looked out of character and a tad emaciated to me.
