I'd love to see that too but I'd equally hate to see him lose it

[Guest Col city fan]

Can’t believe how conditioned Brook is

Good payday to go out on though. It'd make a fair bit of cash in this country and its not like Kell is going to kick start a whole new career out of this. 

 

He either goes out on a high having got the fight he was after forever or he milks it go get one last big cheque.

I'm going for a run in the morning

He's shamed me into it

That version of Kell Brook would win a world title at 147 or 154 definitely.

Put some respect on Amir, he’s been one of our best and is still a very good boxer.

 

It wasnt a one punch win for Brook. It was a complete dominate performance. The question is, can Brook motivate himself to that level for any other fight? I’m not sure.

Eubank is a world class athlete but a very average boxer. If Kell comes as he did tonight he give Eubank trouble. 
 

Eubank lost and badly to a semi retired George Groves and i’ve not seen anything from him since that shows he’s improved technically.

I totally forgot about that Groves fight! He got completely schooled 

[EastAnglianFox]

Lost some money tonight not gonna lie 

 

Staggered by how one sided that was, best Brook has looked for years, makes it more frustrating that if he'd looked after himself better between camps ove the years what sort of legacy he could have left.

he is not a very good boxer anymore , if you think standing there and getting pummelled for the last three rounds makes you still a good boxer, khans punch resistance went a long time ago, but the way crawford dismantled brook , and the way brook dismantled khan tells you how far he has fallen

Khan had pretty much retired before the fight and it showed. Kel was just too motivated and hungry for him. Hopefully Khan will now officially retire having earned some good money and Kel will get one last pay day.

it’s a tricky one really… Khan is all about speed and accuracy and Brook all about strength and power. You can be a lot stronger at 35 than you were  at 25 but I don’t know anyone who is faster at 35 than at 25. 
 

I was surprised at how good Khans chin was. Always had him down as a glass jaw.

 

 

end of the day Brook outclassed Khan. Still have some unanswered questions though- I’d have liked to see them fight in their prime.

[HybridFox]

It could have been an absolute epic 10 years ago. Potentially with a world title or two on the line. 

 

Was still a good scrap and nostalgic to see two British boxing icons go head to head. Can see what it meant to Kell. Seems a natural end for both fighters imo but money will always talk in this game

[RonnieTodger]

Brook should retire and sail off into the sunset. He’s got nothing to prove. 
 

Eubank is a clout chaser and Brook has nothing to gain by jumping up a division or two for a nothing fight.

Really enjoyed that fight. Two fighters who were willing to take risks and go for it. 
 

Brook looked very good. I don’t think he was really troubled in the fight and looked the more assured fighter. His physique at 35 tells me I’m being a lazy git! I really hope he doesn’t take the Eubank fight. Retire Kel, there is nothing left to prove. Eubank gains from the fight. I can’t see what Kel does. Perfect ending to a very good career.

 

Khan, what can you say. He has always tried to entertain and despite what his haters say a fight card that includes Maidana, Alvarez, Garcia, Kotelnik, Judah and now Brook shows he never hid in his career and always went for the riskier fight. It’s a shame for him that it ended this way but that was a fighter who just didn’t have the heart anymore. A credit to the profession and always entertained.

 

Imagine if they fought when they were both in their prime!

I wouldn’t take it if I was Eubank. He has no need to look behind him for a potential banana skin, he’s likely to get a title shot in the next 12 months - loses to kell and he can kiss that chance goodbye… and besides he’s not getting any younger so he might not get within another title shot range if he loses to kell

Money talks. 

 

I've never understood the idea Khan has a glass chin he's been knocked out but he's also been in some proper slug fests, I don't consider wobbly legs more being sparked as a glass chin and Khan has took some absolute beatings over the years. Clearly his heart isn't in it anymore though maybe he can fight Hatton in 5 years when they're both skint.

Might not be totally clear cut for Taylor this. Catterall started well.
