Gordon R Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 Albeit about 10 years past their prime, I hope it is a good fight. I would like to see Kell silence the Bolton braggart. I think Kell will KO the glassed jawed quitter and then retire. Whatever the outcome, I wouldn't want either to continue and take more damage than they can afford.

chrisjpainter Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 That's next week, isn't it? I really hope we don't get some lazy injury excuse that cancels it at the eleventh hour. Hopefully they can just have it and we can forget about it. I'm not sure it'll be a classic, but as you ay, a KO win for Kell would be great.

rich1984 Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 Im a Sheffield lad so hope Kell can do the business. I think Kell will KO him before the 10th 🤞🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hicky Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 Much too late for any relevance as there will be too many after fight excuses. I hope the purse is 50/50 split. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperGoose75 Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 I reckon 6 or 7 yr's late, but it has simmered nicely and has reached boiling point with a lot of hate and animosity built up towards each other, especially from the Brook side. For me,either Khan will put a clinic on Brook over the 12 rounds with blistering handspeed and combinations and win unanimously on the scorecards (albeit with a few hairy moments along the way) Brook will want a tear up and will be hoping on Khan tiring in the mid to late rounds. Khan would be foolish trying to bang with Brook as that will almost certainly end with Khan becoming unstuck. That said Brook might get disheartened and give up again or possibly Ingle will have to throw in the towel to save his man from taking too much punishment. Brook has metal in his eye sockets and no doubt Khan could be doing with some of that in his chin, as Brook has good timing and can bang a bit. Khan ain't no Golovkin and Brook ain't no Canelo, so I don't think we can judge them too much based on both them fights. A lot saying it is too late, but the interest is massive and it is much more appealing than the Eubank Jnr v Liam William's grudge match IMO.

redial Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 I haven't looked at the odds but would imagine Khan is favourite. I hope Brook wins. From the interview that Sky keep showing. It sounds like Khan has has made a lot of demands to get the fight on. Which Brook has obviously agreed to. As said a fifty fifty split purse would be good but I doubt that is on the table.

Gordon R Posted February 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 I would be surprised if Khan is favourite. His glass jaw will take a lot of protecting. I fancy Kell to retire Khan. I hope both will retire then. I don't like Khan, but I worry that he is getting punchy, if not already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mullard83 Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 Saw a recent workout video of Khan & he still has good hand speed. I think Brook may well be able to time that KO shot on Khan, but from the recent Gloves are off episode it appears Brook may well of let his emotions get the better of him. Will definitely watch though even though they are both past their primes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen-H Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 Think khan will win it a lot faster then brook & been in with more experienced boxers in his career just got to keep up the work rate & not get dragged into a brawl.

Hicky Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 Having just watched the weigh in, one thing was clear, Brook started to hydrate immediately after getting off the scales and continued to do so for the remaining footage(roughly 5 mins). I hope the weight cut doesn't rob either of them the ability to come into the ring as fresh and healthy as can be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mel b3 Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 I just caught a few seconds of an interview with Khan. Is it just my poor hearing , or is he starting to slur his words ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mel b3 Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 I don't really follow boxing ( but I do like to watch now and again) . Do boxers get tested to see if any kind of damage is being done , or , is it too late by the time damage appears?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they have to go for brain scans etc every three years or at there own discretion personally I think it should pre & post fight. Jamie Moore had his career cut short due to a brain scan showing some sort of change. Gerald mcclellan also suthered life changing damage after the nigel benn fight. Very dangerous sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an exciting way as any to enjoy a boxing match if you have a good comentator.I used to love listening to the big fights on the radio when I had no other access to enjoy them, and to then look forward to seeing the photographs in the paper the following day. First thing I thought off when I awoke this morning. Khan v Brook is happening tonight. I don't think a draw is out of the question but I'd rather see a definitive winner (who ever it may be).

Oh please no! We've had to suffer this will they, won't they nonsense for long enough. One fight, winner takes all, no rematch clause and bed time for both bunnies after the fight. This horse has been dead for so long it's already in the dog meat can (or Tesco lasagne) for it to be flogged any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The commentator said Finnegan knocked Foster down in the fifth and got quite excited about it. Sadly, the subsequent television coverage showed that it never happened.

It might have been a long time coming but like others have said hopefully it's settled and both retire afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
