After the crap he had to put up with even from fellow boxers after his last fight against a top drawer fighter nice to see him out again, even at a new weight,

It is a decent card, not on PPV either.

Brooke has probably been the best British fighter of the last decade. Hugely avoided on his way up, a very big welterweight (which is why he struggled with the weight as he matured). Strong, good technique, awkward, good chin and tough. He showed that many times. I doubt any keyboard warrior on here would have fought on with a fractured eye socket against a monster like Spence ... never mind Golovkin.

I think he has been under appreciated for ages. I wonder if it is because the media have found out he is gay, won't report it, but still hold it against him?

You've gotta wonder what Brook has left after 2 damaging defeats on the spin?
I think the Spence loss would have been as much mental as physical due to losing in that way in front of his home fans.
Rabchenko is a tough comeback fight and I wonder how Brook will cope if he gets backed up and bashed up a bit.
The 2 eye injuries have surely gotta be playing on his mind every time he fights now.
Risky even deciding to continue fighting and a risky opponent to do it against.

Lets hope Brook wins and gets to beat up Khan in the summer.

Do we really care about Khan vs Brook?

Khan is a far more exciting fighter than Brook..Brook is finally fighting at his own weight class for a change so let's see how good he is now without the drastic weight cut.

Any opponent is going straight for the eye sockets and once Brook gets a bit spooked it's all over.

He should have had a couple of easy fights and wait on Khan as the B side for nice retirement payday package as he will never be the same after those injuries.

Khan is just as finished as Brook and Khan is far more delusional when he says he could take on Thurman/Porter never mind Spence.

I don't see this being very competitive. Brook stops him late.

Just seen the photos of the weigh in. How the fuck does Gavin McDonnell make weight? He looks like a fucking Ghost. How can it do him any good.

Come on then @Master you big lovable gay, get yourself in here, its gunna be a long ol night of boxing

Just finished off Liverpool beating Newcastle.

Has the fight started yet?

Yeah Brooks eye went in the 4th round, he quit on his stool in the 6th

just starting now, I wonder how the lovely Anna Woolhouse will be looking tonight in her sexy glasses

Is this the dude that once the Ring announcer idol this that Matchroom were doing?

Kid Galahad always fights on channel 5.

Think he has been suspended from boxing

Galahad getting hit more than usual but probably took the first round.
