Brook v Rabchenko

[Beanz]

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.
