I assume you stopped watching the fight after 15 seconds too then if you disagree, because it quite clearly happened.

"Boxed his head off" is a slight over exaggeration. I agree brook really showed off his skills and he did hurt GGG but he wasn't dominating.

Widhthe fight lasted longer
, could have juded it better

What?

Sometimes wonder what fight people are watching

The scorecards and the vast majority of commentators agree with me on this one mate. I think you saw what you wanted to see.

Big respect to brook moving up 2 weight divisions to take on arguably the best boxer in the world at present. Unfortunately lacked the power but not the boxing skills to seriously trouble GGG. Disappointed with GGG in his post fight interview, as he was quite dismissive of brook, but saying that he won the fight so arguably he has the earned the right to say what he thinks. Brooks at light middleweight would be a frightening prospect.

Andre Ward?

Don't think GGG will move up. At some point, the others in the Middleweight division will come to him.

Canelo, Cotto and Saunders are the three I expect him to take next.

Not yet. When he gets that big fight in the states and becomes box office, people won't be able to duck the money. He's close to it now.

If I were him, I'd take on Saunders (an easy fight - decent little technician, but no power and stamina issues) to pick up another belt, then look to the big USA fight.

Until he's in an elite level fight and dominates, I'm not on board the hype train with GGG. I'll recognise him when people stop ducking him (again, I know that's not his fault, but it's still the case that he isn't fighting big fights at that weight) and he beats them soundly.

I was going to say Saunders seems the obvious next fight alright. He has the ability to avoid that big shot but GGG hits so many them eventually he would stop him.

Saunders is probably a better technical fighter.

Probably too soon for Saunders.

Saunders couldn't cope with Eubank when he started boxing and not conserving energy - I think GGG would tear him apart. He lacks the power and isn't unorthodox enough to bother GGG.

Erm... laugh all you want, that sentence was factual - Brook was ahead on the cards.

No doubt Brook hurt him so he tried to brush it aside, wouldn't read a lot into that

Canelo may give him problems but I can't see the other two doing much, Cotto is past his best and Saunders hasn't got a decent dig on him. Ironically I think that Eubank can give him the biggest problems, fast, elusive and he hits hard.

And? Have you seen the reaction to that? Haskins comfortably beat hall on all three scorecards despite
Most people thinking hall nicked it? You do realise people get robbed in boxing every week?

Completely agree.

 

[mitchell1996]

'Brook hurt him' you don't relentless march forward trading shots with somebody who is hurting you

So you think Golovkin won those rounds then?

Ok mate.
