Boxing

No way either of those would fix a fight and take a defeat. A boring, non-aggressive draw and maybe but not a defeat against such a disliked opponent.
Kell schooled him and Kahn had no answer. Always been open to big shots. Kell’s timing was Herol Hraham-esque...almost impossible to hit. He was in great shape too.

It's one of the few fights that would motivate him. Kell has always felt Khan got way more credit than he did, despite Kell being the better boxer.

I think Khan was getting well beaten but nothing happened in that round to warrant the ref stepping in. He was hurt much worse in earlier rounds with no intervention.

I agree in terms of that round but it’s an accumulation thing surely. You get beat up in round 1,2,3 you might be able to come back. When it’s been happening pretty much every round it’s better to stop it.

Think that was a great stoppage in terms of fighters welfare. Khan was throwing nothing back and was just running/stumbling away.
Natural size of Brook made such a big difference.

Maybe so really like Brook but never know, which will always piss Brook off I reckon

Brook isn't immune to criticism. He didn't always dedicate himself to training. He's the most talented boxer I've seen in terms of variety of punch. He always lacked a bit of power which probably, coupled with a lack of dedication earlier in his career, prevented him from winning more than one world title. He will definitely have regrets in his career. He was also a bit unlucky that he wasn't quite the right weight at the right time, hence going up in weight to fight Golovkin simply to try and make a name for himself.

Eubank jr is a bad weasel. All about making a quick buck, nothing like his old man.

Big believer that Brook should of went down as one of our greatest. He had everything, and he chased the wrong fight and stayed at the wrong decision for far to long. Chased Khan for far to long. Don’t care what anyone says but if he fought Spence especially at the weight above, he’d of destroyed him. Fought Golovkin when nobody wanted it with him. I seriously hope he has that anger got Eubank Junior and goes up in a weight or two and splatters him. Brook had everything. He was poorly matched, poorly promoted and got bad advise but such a talented boxer.

He’s the most hyped boxer off a name and to make money off Han other fighter I’ve seen. Was hoping nelson or froch told him that he’s terrible and he’s where he’s at due to his dads name. Great walk out entrance though

 

[Walken]

just retire kell, i really don't want to see eubank make more dough against another past his best british fighter

Well done kel !!

Of all the pictures in the world of her, you pick that one?



Thick, Welsh, sheep humping inbred

Eubank will destroy brook due to pure size. Kell’s face won’t make it past 3. Eubank is a rat but his timing and power will hurt brook.

 

[grandjoeblue]

Would be intresting wouldnt it to see what hes made

Probs 500 quid a fight or so id guess

Journeyman can get 1500 per fight, it often depends on how much notice as they ask for more if it's late notice. Peter Buckley who was a famous journeyman has a good book about it. He had 300 fights which is a record in the UK I think.

MJ Hall who fought tonight fought about 25 times in 2019 so he'll have earned a decent amount. Normally they pay 20/30% out to their manager/trainer so they only keep 70 to 80%.

All well having timing and power against someone like Williams who is British level at best. Brook is past it but levels and mean levels above Eubank Junior. Why isn’t Junior calling out Charlo or Andrade? He’s a famous name due to his ald man but no better then Jake Paul,

At the mercy of the promoter aswell, a bad promoter has hand in their pocket over every little thing and wont pay a penny of expenses, some rip them off on a 'tickets sold deal'. The good ones realise these fellas are the life blood of the sport.

It's why despite deserved critisim I don't join in on the hearn hate, whatever their flaws the hearns pay their fighters at every level
