Gennady Golovkin vs. Kell Brook

[g3org3]

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

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

Junior would go further as he is big, fast and better durability, he still would lose.

Junior hasn't got the skill to avoid GGG and GGG would walk through Junior. Either It would be a mini war while it lasted , with GGG KO'ing him, or Junior would try to be a bit cagey and because he doesn't have the skill set of Brook, he would still get KTFO. Just a case of how long Jr. Could take it as we aren't sure of his chin (please don't say he's inherited his Dad's chin, because we couldn't possibly know that.)
I have to say the 2nd round must be the best round of Brook's career all things considered. Absolutely fucking brilliant.

Jr could have the beating of Golovkin!

Jr is strong and has tons of stamina. Golovkin is patient and lets the opponent work then comes back. Id be very interested to see Eubank real off those big combinations and how Golovkin deals with it.

But Jr. Has no head movement. Or does that only matter for Brook?

Jr does move his head quite a lot actually. More so his upper body. Been a few times in his fights he lets the opponent fire off shots while he slips them all showing off.

Brook comes from the ingle gym and head movement or being elusive is one of the things their fighters are known for. I think whats happened with Brook is hes been able to boil down to welter and enjoys such a strength advantage that hes fallen in love with his strength. That doesnt translate when he fights at a more natural weight though and if he had used more of the ingles style maybe hed have heard the final bell.

I'd venture to say Jr. would get it worse than Brook. It seems like there's no way on the internet this morning to give Brook credit without discrediting GGG or vice versa for most people, but i'm going to take a shot at it.

Brook did an amazing job. First by design and then as the fight came to a finish, by desperation. Fast hard combos with an extra 15 pounds of muscle on him. He avoid many wide shots and never missed an opportunity at a counter after a wide miss. Hoping to get some respect that stopped the bum rush. They say the cornered animal is the most dangerous. The stoppage by the corner was a dignity call. Kellerman tweeted that roy called it in between rounds that brook was giving up. His corner throwing in the towel was a way to set up brook for the courageous "im a warrior, go out on my shield" protest... but you have to agree that there was no need for brook to take any more damage that could change him when he's still got the skills to be the tops in lower division.

As for GGG, I can't say that there was validation to the illness theory as they neared the weigh in/ fight. He did look a little off and if he was sick, i doubt we would have gotten an admission before the fight. After the fight maybe, but probably from Sanchez and not GGG. I do think in the future he will fly over with more lead time to get adjusted than just a week... but for this fight if he claims to be 100%, he's essentially relinquished his rights to any excuses. That being said, so many people claiming GGG was "exposed" seem to be overlooking the fact that he was hardly trying to look like a surgeon out there. There was no picking his punches or using any ring generalship to corral brook and dissect him in a corner. It came off as more of a "im hungover and not really feelin this sh*t... Lets just bang it out so I can move the hell on..." kind of performance more than the "Big drama fight" he says he was going for. Still kudos for doing what he had to do. I'm sure with the drag in trying to find an opponent, fight abroad etc, maybe he kind of felt that way like more trouble than it might have been worth... but I'm also sure that trying to outbox a slick "cutie" from 2 divisions down that's got the speed advantage and stylistic advantage on you was probably not on his mind from the beginning. Especially after Canelos destruction of Khan. It could have been, but after the first shots were exchanged, it was too easy to go for the most direct route. If brooks firepower bothered GGG, and an adjustment was required... it would have been made and he would have started working off multiple jabs, punched for more angles and cut off the ring better.

So with Jr. being a more natural middleweight of considerable size, I think the threat posed to GGG would call for a more strategic and measured attack that exposes him less and increases his accuracy. Hence it would look more like lemieux than brook.
