IMO Brook was gonna have to rely on hand and foot speed to beat GGG (which was a long shot,) but I can't see that anymore with this drastic weight gain.

He looks to be in really good shape at 176lbs, and he doesn't appear to have a lot of excess fat to burn when boiling down to 160. Odds are he's gonna be drained. The weight, plus the fact that he's never taken shots from a full fledged middleweight points to GGG walking through him...For me at least.

I agree but he was still going to need to have something to keep him off him and has the for that type of weight so it might not hurt him.

GGG is gonna kill Brook. How much more power is he gonna have at this weight? Brook is a solid straight puncher with a good one-two. But if he was serious, he would have taken a few fights to get acclimated to the weight. This is a money grab that he was forced into once errol spence jr came a calling. Better to get knocked out at 5 mill than 1.5 and losing your title. A battle for wembley is coming up next after he recovers.

Meanwhile Errol spence will continue to be avoided in the hottest division by shit talkers

I was thinking the same thing. People focusing on the GGG aspects of this fight dont even see the bitch assness with Brook. Dude is in a no lose situation whereas he has Spence waiting to kick his ass in his own division...

Here's to hoping that Shakur Stevenson wins gold today:cheers:

Today's winners fight for the gold on Saturday. That Russian he was supposed to face today dropped out due to Conlan putting all those knots upside his head in that robbery. Stevenson got a "walkover". I've seen some stinker events in my day but that shit was worse than Roy Jones Jr. in Seoul '88.

..and peep THIS shit:



This is what we all sit down to write
You can't make it so you take it home, break it and bite
Use pieces and bits of all the hip-hop hits
Get the style down pack then it's time to switch
Put my tape on pause and add some more to yours
Then you figure you're ready for the neighborhood chores

The e-m-c-e-e don't even try to be
When you come up to speak, don't even lie to me
You like to exaggerate, dream and imaginate
Then change the rhyme around, that can aggravate me
So when you see me come up, freeze
Or you'll be one of those 7 mc's

Bundu is crazy past it, but I agree.

Spence will rule the roost at 147, and 154 whenever he decides to move up. Spence vs Jermall, or Andrade are some potentially good scraps.
