Kell was up in rds, but from the third Rd kell was fkd the eye had gone only one thing was going to happen and I don't want to see Any fighter end up like what was coming
Kell Brook could have been finished there forever
Even his dad in the background there is telling ingle to stop the fight
Better to throw in the towel and have another 5/10 fights in your career than go on for another round or two and potentially be your last fight. Good stoppage.
WBC president says Brook was ahead on the scorecards at the time the fight was stopped, which is an absolute credit to Brook and speaks volumes about the fighter he is.
I had it that Brook had won 2 of the rounds, 1 to GGG and 1 even.
Exactly how I had it Rd 1 to GGG, 2 and 3 to Brook 4th even
Difference is that although Brook was up there was no way that would continue. His eye was fkd it was obviously something GGG was aware of and looking at the x ray of Brooks head the eye socket is well broken and his left jaw looks damaged
I feel so dirty for saying this, but I think Malinaggi is a decent commentator and pundit. Called the broken eye socket quickly and made a lot of sense.
As for Brook, great effort and the right stoppage. No shame in that outcome and GGG was shown to be human at times. When Brook got clocked in the first, he was trapped in that corner zone and you could see GGG had the howitzer fists ready to unload, horrible power.
Eubank JNR telling GGG to come and fight a real middleweight on a facebook post....embarassing. Golovkin coming back over for BJS would be a enjoyable.
That was a good 5 rounds of boxing. Sadly we all knew that would happen, Brook is an excellent boxer but the natural strength difference was enormous and he showed huge guts to carry on and want to carry on.
It also highlights how ridiculous the situation is in boxing where we have a guy who granted is a massive welterweight and probably a more naturally suited light middleweight stepping up because no one else will.
Undercard was pelt, I cannot believe Charlie Edwards was in that fight. He has looked good but light fisted in all of his previous outings and to have a Lee Haskins fight on as chief support was rank.
Callum Smith did what he does, looks square punches hard but I don't think he is the chosen one De Gale would beat him over 12 turgid rounds and Groves would stop him. I'm probably being overly harsh on him because of the level of opposition didn't excite him.
Did Brook and Hearn take this fight because the money offered was too good to turn down ? Wasn't history against Brook stepping up two weights ? The bookies thought it was a no contest, despite how brilliant Kell is against other Welterweights. I know the Irony is he ended up weighing in heavier than Golovkin But to be hit by a top Middleweight like Golovkin who is about 11Lb heavier than any welterweight Brook had faced is massive. because Brook has the heart of a lion, if Ingle hadn't thrown the towel in to protect his fighter, the next few rounds could have seen the end of Brooks career. Stepping up to Light middleweight 154Lb won't be a problem.

Regardless Kell Brook is a fucking hero there. Quality
GGG is different level and didn't even fight well.
Imagine stopping a guy after 5 rounds and still think you were poor.

Good stoppage.
Brook to fight the winner of Canelo and Smith would be great.
I'd also like to see Joyce v Saunders and winner fights GGG.

Did Malinaggi spot it during the fight?
