Gennady Golovkin vs. Kell Brook

[powerpuncher]

Can we all at least admit GGGs defense is awful because he has 0 head movement or do we deny the obvious because GGG

His defense is his biggest weakness, but fortunately he has a solid chin. He can take a punch to give a punch which has worked out for him thus far. You can't be good at everything.

GGGs defence looked worse that it ever has but brook is a very skillful accurate puncher


GGG said he didn't feel brooks punches, well if that is the case he is one hard bastard, he landed cleanly a number of times, ive seen a video on twitter of one of brooks punches lifting golovkin off the floor


its a pity about the eye injury, I think that was the turning point, I think wed have got at least another couple of rounds if it hadn't have happened, brook kind of went into his shell after that

Floyd is good at everything.

I completely disagree Eric.

If it's not watchable why does every boxing fan tune in to watch..surely everyone can't expect him to to loose.

Even in retirement, everyone is pleading for him to return..must be something that's watchable about him.

He outclassed a young undefeated prime canelo at the weight canelo suggested.

He beats a faster and more powerful pacquio..with ease.

Boxing is exciting right now and there are lots of great fights to be made so there's no need for floyd to return, but the sweet science is what floyd is all about when he is in action.

I'm not pleading for him to return


he beat canelo in a shit fight and he beat pac in a shit fight, neither canelo nor pac were to blame for the shitness of the fights


yeah he is good but his fights are shit


hes very lucky that through his career American boxing was at a low in terms of talent and he was the only really good fighter they had

[ross]

Eric thats rubbish!

Of course it was Canelo and Pacquiaos fault. Mayweather didnt run, in the most he stood in front of them. It was there inability to think, adapt, catch him that let down peoples expectations of what they thought those fighters could do.

People resent Mayweather because he can make good fighters look shit.

[erics44]

I dunno mate


if you take all three fighters last 10 fights


Floyd 10 fights 10 snoozers
canelo 10 fights 1 snoozer
pac 10 fights 1 snoozer


kind of suggestive?

Bang on the money.

Proves my point.

Mayweather is head and shoulders above those he fought.

The only real challenge out there for him would be to try and beat Golovkin.

it doesn't prove your point


I said mayweather was in shit fights, you said I was talking rubbish


so to summarise - youre point was that I was talking rubbish saying mayweather was in shit fights

then I suggested his last 10 fights were shit and you just agreed


so 1 nil Eric

So who is watchable in your opinion?

[Andre]

I've just watched the fight back, I think I got a little taken in by the athmosphere and by Brooks effort.

Even when Brook landed his biggest shots they just bounced of GGG, he wasn't hurt once, he was walking through Brooks punches and loading up on both the head and body of Brook, Kell took the shots at the start but by the 5th it was a case of job done, watching it back I don't actually think it was that bad of a stoppage, Brook had absolutely nothing to give.

First thing GGG said 'he's not a middleweight' couldn't agree more

Kell say's 'I didn't feel his power...in the second rd he fractured my eye socket'

Kell made himself sound like a bit of a fool at the end, trying to make out that he was completely in control and was hurting GGG but not getting hurt himself, come on Kell, you can't blame that on solely on your eye, you was getting beat up.

Someone elsewhere said; "You should never suck on the green whistle and then make a statement".

lots and lots of fighters


If you enjoy mayweathers fights that's fine


I just think they are shit, yes you could argue its because he is so good or you could argue its because he runs, im not really arsed either way, I just find them a little bit boring and unenjoyable events


and if you are about to accuse me of not appreciating the sweet science, then I don't agree with that either, i think he lands just enough to win rounds


i'm a boxing fan and i like to see people punched in the face a lot more often than the regularity that people are punched in the face in mayweather fights
