Gennady Golovkin vs. Kell Brook

[nuggetdotcom]

Too many conspiracy theories here, great attempt from Brook, who clearly was not up to the furious pace in the last round, fair play to his corner. His efforts did open a potential 'window' of opportunity for future GGG opponents to copy. I wouldn't count BJS or EU JR as capable of exploiting those opportunities, neither of them would get beyond round 3 in my opinion.
GGG is the new Elvis

It was a fun fight. Brook started fast, GGG telegraphed a few shots, but once GGG settled down the fight was his. The body shots hurt and round by round Brook began to slow and GGG started to land with more regularity.

The stoppage was as lame as you are going to get. A typical British stoppage and one where fans should demand a refund. If they stop a movie half way through saying 'It's an 18, just too violent' you would be outraged, but in the UK they do it to boxing fans all the time. If you don't want boxing then don't have it.

As can be seen Brook has nothing more than a mouse. Even if it had continued it is unlikely he would end up like Margarito and even if he did, you should give it your all. It was a cop out white towel to say, 'We weren't knocked out', but it was coming in a round or two and GGG and the fans were robbed of that. They let Brook look sharp, but denied GGG his defining ending.

Lara would outbox GGG (not sure)
Ward would dismantle GGG
GGG should (from a business perspective) go for Saunders next and then Jacobs.
Then when he gets to 38 years old canelo will be ready for him.

Brook has to fight spence next or a big money fight with canelo or smith..he is still in a good position.

Brook gave a good performance the eye damage if the socket is broken the stoppage is correct.
GGG is a tough guy but Brook showed us a blue print how to beat him but who, GGG would wipe the floor with BJS it may be time for Eubank to step up.

I said before the brook fight I believe jr would beat ggg

[Batman]

I think the eye happened to be quite convenient for them, he was going to get beaten up, first thing GGG said is 'Brook is not a middleweight' Paulie said some of the punches might have hurt GGG but they didn't hurt him enough.

Laras a good fight but he doesnt have the chin to beat GGG. GGG stops him in the middle rounds. Ward probably beats him easy on points in a horrible fight. But thats never gonna happen. GGG has never fought at 168 and Ward is up at 175 now.

Brook did hurt GGG you can tell he did buzz him .
The natural weight difference did show at the end.
Hat's off to Brook he faced a truly great Champion.
Kell will be a light middle weight Champion on that performance.
GGG is the best Middleweight I have seen since Hagler would GGG beat Marvelous Marvin NO.
Let's enjoy GGG because all to soon he will be gone , Jacob's will get smashed if he faces GGG simple.

Agreed, but they didn't hurt him enough, GGG was quite content to walk through them to get to the target by the fourth round

[powerpuncher]

This was not a blueprint to beat GGG. Most fighters can use all of their energy to fight 4 rounds and look good. Pascal did the same thing to kovalev. Khan did the same thing to canelo.

[Gandalf]

It was though the perfect blueprint on how to avoid getting brutally stopped. I hope other fighters choose to avoid such a route. If you don't want to get stopped, then don't fight.

[armin]

Early stoppage and anti climatic but that fight was only going one way n brook should thank ingle actually

Jr. Wouldn't last 3 rounds. That's why they never took the fight.
