Upcoming Fights **Mod note: Keep discussion to fight night threads**

Anyone else think MJ Hall looked like Steve Rogers before he took the serum?

I know very little about boxing in general, but khan looked absolutely petrified on the walk in

Fair play to Brook. People forget he beat a good Shawn Porter too.

Little know trivia, 5'7 Shawn Porter started out as a middleweight and holds an amateur victory over unified HW champ Usyk 😧

Yes, brave move. But odd move. Out of the blue, and a fight that really damaged him. Then Spence finished whatever the best Brook was.

I have a feeling the hangers on will be bigging up Brook with this win, and looking for more paydays.

Risky: Brook is bang in trouble against any quality opposition who can punch.

Brook is a shot fighter!

I think Brook will look back at his career as what could have been. He is very talented, a physical specimen and has a pleasing style. He was badly advised and took some fights at the wrong time.

I haven't watched the fight in a long time but my memory of the Spence fight was that it was very close until later in the fight and his eye got damaged again. You'd wonder if he hadn't have gotten in the ring with GGG would that have changed the outcome.

Khan was also very very talented. If he had a chin I think he would have had an incredible career. There wasn't a fight, bar maybe against bud, where he didn't initially have the upper hand before getting caught (Prescott aside obviously). Glad he got whooped last night though.

Agree with the posters above about Brook.

The GGG fight should never had happened and and was the beginning of the end for brook imo.

Same with the canelo v khan fight.

What were Khan's camp thinking?

Irresponsible and dangerous imo.

Upper hand? I’d say more just holding his own.

vs Garcia he was looking good, but more flash than actual substance. OTT speedy flurries that were mostly missing. Then he got taken out.

vs Canelo he was holding his own, but landing nothing significant; same old speedy baseless flurries for the sake of it. Then taken out.

Last night the same baseless speedy flurries, and then taken out whilst clearly behind.

Khan had strengths, but they were overshadowed by glaring weaknesses, and innate weaknesses that he could not fix.

Totally agree, it was blindly obvious to everyone at the time that the GGG fight was going to be a complete and utter trainwreck. If I remember correctly, Brook actually had to jump two weight divisions just to take the fight - not a wise decision given he was up against the most lethal puncher in the division. I guess the massive payday was just too good to turn down.

I think the Spence fight could potentially have turned out differently if not for his eye problems, I remember he complained afterwards that he couldn't see for the last few rounds after taking a knock in one of the mid rounds. In saying that, Spence looked really sharp in that fight and probably would have won anyway...who knows!

Kell did very well in the Spence fight, but it was clear to the trained eye that Spence was stronger and always a step ahead. Kell was just managing to keep up. He was never in the driving seat like Spence.

While I really don't like Khan, you can't question his passion and heart for the sport. His eyes light up like a kid in a toyshop when he talks about some of his old fights in Maddison Square Gardens etc.

Yes. I was similar v Garcia first time. But watching back, it is the usual Khan throwing speedy flurries for the sake of it. Garcia was defending and countering well.

v Canelo he was not winning. Landing fook all decent shots, and Canelo, like Garcia was countering

Both men biding their time and setting traps!

What a bunch of classy individuals.

Did Khan break his right hand? (F*** knows how) but he was keeping it inside his track top at the after fight presser and used his left hand to shake hands.

I think Khan showed a lot of heart in taking that beating and he was respectful after the fight too.

I think a lot of the negative comments about him are unwarranted.

I’ve found him to be an entertaining fighter over the years.

I actually thought Khan looked like he had not prepared too well for it, and it showed in his performance.

Only there for one final payday.

He was an embarrassment.
