Anyone else watching Canelo vs. Khan tonight???

 

[Avs_19]

Wow. Canelo put Khan to sleep. That was one of the most vicious KOs I've seen recently in boxing or MMA.

I hope they make the GGG fight now. It has to happen.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

what a KO

 

[Bakayoko Ono]

I respect Khan's fearlessness, but you gotta be worried about his long-term health.

I agree with all of this.

Adonis Stevenson is fun to watch. Just KTFO Thomas Williams in the 4th round.

Sergey Kovalev vs. Andre Ward was just confirmed for PPV last night on HBO. It'll be on November 19th.

I am not a fan of boxers not wearing head gears in the Olympics.

Does anyone else think that PBC is a major flop?

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

GGG vs. Brook tonight at 10PM Eastern time on HBO.

 

[GKJ]

It's not 10pm ET, it's right now

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

5 rounds max that Brook can stay in the ring with GGG.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

So who is Sacha Baron Cohen rooting for?

 

[GKJ]

I don't know much about Kell Brook but if the fight is in London, he must be good enough for this to not be short, right?

Brook has basically fought no one in his career, moving up to fight GGG. Probably will be very short.

 

[GKJ]

Third round goes either way imo

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

5 rounds.

 

[GKJ]

What the hell?

 

[GKJ]

Trainer was pointing to his eye when he was talking to Brook. I don't know, i didn't see enough to throw in the towel there

Perhaps throwing it in at that moment was a bit early - but with the way Golovkin went after him in that round I don't think the fight would have went on any longer anyway. If Brook, as he said, saw five Golovkins out there it would just be a matter of time before he would be knocked out. Trainer could have thought similar and decided to not risk further damages.

 

[GKJ]

After hearing both fighters talk it definitely made more sense. Protecting Brook from further injury in a fight where he couldn't hurt his opponent. On HBO, Triple G said it felt like a sparring match, I had the fight tied but Brook was starting to get overpowered.

 

[Coffe]

Calling it a sparring match might be a bit of an exaggeration - but Golovkin definitely was in full control.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Whatever Brook was saying in the post-fight interview that he was gonna take over in the middle rounds was just pride. He knew he was done.
