Not a chance. Different attributes entirely, but Brook was up there with him, at least.

 

Porter said, and this was just prior to the Spence fight, that Brook was the best he’s boxed

Porter also beat Danny Garcia who KO'd Khan.

[John102]

And Khan beat Barrera who beat Richie Wenton

[sir roger]

Bookies are firmly in the Brook camp with him 2/1 on and Khan 6/4 against.

 

They are presumably expecting it to be close if it goes to points , but Khan's chin the more fragile if the fight ends early.

Porter fought Brook and Garcia when they were in their prime. Likewise Khan and Garcia were both in their prime when they fought.

 

Barrera was well past it by the time he fought Khan.

The draw at 16/1 makes me wonder if the bookies know something we don't.

[General Dryness]

Brooks strategy should simply be "punch him somewhere around the jaw area".

 

Can't fail.

[Boss]

Firstly, there are no lucky punches in boxing. However, in fairness to Khan, he was absolutely schooling Garcia at the point he got chinned. Khan dominates opponents: Barrera, Judah, Malignaggi, Alexander. Brook has only had one great performance in his career: Porter.

 

The problem with Khan is two-fold. You can't bet on him because of his chin, and his speed has largely gone - so it's a bit like latter-day Roy Jones Jr. He's always had a weak defence and relied on his unbelievable hand speed and reflexes to jump in and out of range. Brook is more technically sound. Whilst saying that, Khan often rises to the occasion, and is extremely tough to beat - if you don't clean him out.

 

It's a difficult one to call.

[Brownie]

Brook will beat him.

[Jairzinho]

Brook will stop him in the mid rounds.

[VladimirIlyich]

I nearly put an Oasis record on when I heard Kell Brook was fighting Amir Khan. I feel like Benjamin Button.

[John102]

I think Brook will win too. Just a bit more activity recently and khan's feet look to have slowed completely in his recent fights.

Yeah, there were some good ones thrown around. They've got a gloves are off episode to come out, which I suspect will be hilarious.

 

Looks worth a watch.

 

 

[J-V]

I hope Brook batters the cunt

[Bjornebye]

Her brothers sister has got us tickets to see Tyson Fury tonight doing some sort of stand up. 

 

My legs fucked, I'm hungover, I don't wanna go and my birds just said we have to go she's got us meet & greet. 

 

I am already fuming, it's gonna be like the wee Billy Connolly meets the Cardinal in class "Do you know who I am?!" "Ar fuck off will you" 

 

Do a sweepstake on either me getting digged, or me being bin-bagged or John Fury (who I love getting told I rattle and don't wobble) or me getting filled in by some Mancs.

Saw someone on Twitter say that "Yarde is about to get jabbed more than my nan."

[Curly]

Did you anyone see that Skeete Sheeraz fight? Joke. Hit him clean while he was down and on the floor. Point deduction. Same ref who refused the towel in Ritson’s fight. He’s a disgrace to fighter safety.

[Kevin D]

Yeah, it was a 3 punch combination while he was down. Clear disqualification.

The last of the 3 was horrendous wasn’t it? Flush

[Curly]

Quick start from Yarde. Will need to pick his rounds to do that to avoid gassing

Yeah, I’m watching. Shame that because Skeete was schooling him before that.

He’s not getting jabbed. He’s getting tied up more than prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. 

[Elite]

Premature stoppage

[Captain Turdseye]

What a shithouse. The opposite of Skeete there. 

[Captain Turdseye]

Just now, Elite said:

Premature stoppage

He didn’t complain.

Yeah, doesn't look like he has the heart required.

[Kevin D]

Didn't think that should have been stopped, strange that Arthur didn't protest.
