"Too Little..Too Late" 2/19 ESPN+: Kell Brook vs Amir Khan

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

Brook is probably the happiest man on the planet tonight, Khans been fukking with him for over a decade by giving him the cold shoulder. People only remember the british fighters for their domestic rivalries like Groves/Froch and Eubanks/Benn.

but any boxing fan knew khan was food especially now, Amir has digressed so bad its unfavourable!
Like i said, glad its put the bed, finally.
Khan took so much licks im surprised they didn't pull him out few rounds earlier?
Virgil would have pulled him out in round 4., infarct Virgil advised khan to retire few years ago.

Connor Benn watchin at home like
Give him all the washed welterweights

Food or not, never thought Khan at his best was a match for Brook. The power difference was too significant.

Finally sat down and watched...what an uncomfortable beating Khan took from Brook...Khan's advantage was his hand speed and he didnt have that anymore..his punch resistance now starts at 50% full. .brook rocked his ass in the first round and he was on survival mode...he is a pure shot fighter...the Crawford and now Brook fights Khan was saved by the refs from going night night...if he continues on that wont be a thing anymore

Also shame on Eubank Jr for actually wanting to fight Brook...mfr is again a non factor in 2 divisions because a jab and movement give him too much trouble

It's really a shame Brook lost his prime because of punishment he took against GGG and Spence...if he faces Benn that would prolly be it for him too

I heard he made £10 million for the dubai fight vs Dib

Yeah they paid him a stupid amount of money for that mismatch

the fight will sell big especially with boxxxer marketing, very good job from Ben Shalom.

Slapped that boy. I expected Brook to stop Khan, but I thought Khan would win at least a few early rounds . Had Khan on skates off a stiff jab

BTW anyone else disagree with the whole 'Khan's vulnerability makes him great to watch' angle? I don't think Khan is that great to watch. Low IQ fighters with good physical tools are more frustrating to me than anything. Khan's inability to adjust, flashy but empty combos, and habit of moving clockwise into right hands when hurt drive me mad.

Eubank blaming Brook

And this guy ended up as champ and has some decent names on his CV..call that a very good achievement.
