I don't buy any of this that he is taking punches on purpose


he went in there and tried as hard as he could from the start, no one goes in to a fight thinking ill take a few punches for a few rounds, specially not in front of a packed O2


did you see the state of his face after the fight?


the looping punches are the punches he throws, he didn't look clumsy in other fights because the fighters he fought are not as good/slippery as brook


I actually think by the mid point in the third he was sick of taking the punches and just tried to get brook out of there, which obviously worked


I do however think the eye injury made that a lot more possible
