Time to retire for Kell I think. With hindsight taking the GGG was a huge mistake, hasn't seemed the same after getting his eye socket smashed in.

I used to sponsor a boxer who’s trainer was good mates with Brooks camp. Apparently he loved to venture into the depths of Columbia and was already warned he would do some harm to that area of his face pretty soon with his career choice and his pastimes not being a good mix.

He never listened though apparently.

Is true, could have been a little better but has his demons. Each to their own, he’s lost to GGG, Spence & Crawford, absolutely no shame in that as they’re probably all top 10 P4P.

One last pay day, fight Kahn and retire (both of them)

He looked decent until Crawford went southpaw. From then on he looked lost.
No messing from Crawford for the finish.

BTW Katie Taylor was up against a brave lass with not enough ability but Taylors hand speed is something else.

Brook looked sharp early on but it’s clear he has zero punch resistance now. Could see against Zerafa that he reacted weird to being hit. Well beyond retirement now.

I could see Khan fancying his shot now and I’d actually heavily favour him to stop Brook now. Not sure the public would be too interested though.

Taylor agreed looks electric. Only criticism is she lacks punch power, something Persoon exploited and walked through her in 2 fights. Taylor should have stopped Guitierez aswell given the huge gulf in ability. Apart from that even most of the men would struggle to match Taylor skill/speed wise. Would love to see Taylor up against Amanda Serrano at some point.

Arguably the best ever for a female

Mmmm not so sure, Persoon beat her in the first fight IMO and was close 2nd fight.

Best female boxer, Amanda Serrano and Clarissa shields have strong arguments. I think savanna Marshall will beat Shields again though she’s huge for middle/super middle.

Yeah I'm not sure there's any public demand for Brook v Khan now, that ship has sailed.

Didn't bother about Kelly Brook, owing to hour and probable outcome, however...Katie Taylor brilliant.
Very brave opponent!

Sold out in five minutes - tickets now going for that on Ticketmaster, Stubhub etc. Boxing is an absolute joke for resales.

Khan is a decent boxer no doubt, but he’s a glass chin. If he keeps his distance and boxes Brook he has a chance, but why hate each other so much I see them going toe to toe and I fear for Khan if they do. If brook lays leather on him, he’s gone I’m afraid. Brooks punch resistance may be lower these days, but I reckon it’s still way above Khans. Our lass could knock Khan out.

Khan by far the better boxer, not even close for me

Watched Brook live about 5x including against M.Hatton, GGG and Spence, he’s really not as special as everyone makes out

Depends on the shape they're both in as well. Neither of them have seen much action the last few years.

Kell Brook isn't anything special but he will knock out Khan within 5 rounds.

Seems a bit odd, following him around the country if you didn't rate him. Any reason for that?
He looked special v Porter
Hes washed up now though

I thought that following a boxer you don’t rate haha.Who the hell would pay that price for a grudge match 8 years too late.you would of said brook easily but they have been inactive for so long it’s probably 50/50 and then have a rematch-they ain’t making any money elsewhere in boxing unless the winner fights the YouTuber that’s were they are at these two.

I didn’t pay…
Used to get ringside seats for free at his fights through a mutual friend, I was a fan, I just think Khan is/was a far superior boxer

I know it's a joke, I joined the pre sale on Friday before they went on general sale Monday, I was emailed a link ten minutes before they went live at 12pm, I entered the queue for tickets and was number 170 out of the 20k plus tickets available, got to the ticket sales at 1 minute past 12 and unbelievably all bottom three price tiers had sold out only the top price ticket's and ring side left, that's bullshit they can't of sold 4 or 5 thousand tickets to the 169 people in front of me, then unbelievably ticketmasters sister site stubhub had all the cheaper seats on sale for x3 the price within minutes, they shouldn't be allowed to trade like that
