He makes welterweight the same way any other fighter makes weight....making weight is a science do you think Kell Brook is the only fighter who cuts weight ?.........ive got a lad cutting 15 lb for a kick boxing contest next weekend done correctly he,ll be fine but that doesnt mean he should fight in a higher weight division......if size had no bearing on last nights fight are we to presume Brook cant punch or Golovkin has a granite chin ?.....most top middleweights would of taken Brook into the later rounds where weight plays a big part but Golovkin did what Golovkin does.He cut weight to mak

Just because a fighter looks big and can absorb shots doesnt mean its his weight.........if he can still make welterweight what possible reason could there be for fighting above your weight........yes Brook may of looked big and strong and done well in the first half on the fight.......what about if it had gone into the second half of the fight where every fighter knows ( including Dominic Ingle ) that weight starts to become a big factor.

I live 8 or 9 miles from Harlow and know a few people there i was under the impression those kids started on the guy because he wouldnt speak English ?....also im not sure where you got your stat about 1 in 17 people in Harlow is Polish i would certainly find that hard to believe......as im sure you know Harlow was home to the first travellers in Essex in the 70,s and ,s hence its a town with a lot of traveller blood still but in terms of African/Indian......and indeed Polish i dont think theres a problem at all ok yes there was always the little scrubbers who would latch onto an inner London

Back to the old West Ham way ive loved and admired all these years......a few moments of magic,some diabolical defending......and fighting amongst ourself on the terraces ......it was always going to be a funny season !
-
I havent seen enough of him to know if its just the way he fights everyone but yes it would make sense wouldnt it......he doesnt show feints or move his head at all,and doesnt really jab his way in i truly believe its his footwork that intimidates opponents he seems to just glide into a space that as a fighter it can throw you that he has the audacity to be there....hard to explain but ive rarely seen footwork like it.

Not a bad fight to be fair to Brook he stood on and fought the right fight but he,s just not a middleweight he had good punch variety but he wasnt putting a dent in Golovkin who in my opinion showed a lot of defensive frailties last night....no head movement,no real defensive awareness its almost like he has so much confidence in his power he thinks he can walk straight through an opponent.......hurtful puncher though i was 7 or 8 rows back and could hear the punches going in,he,s a very correct puncher as well hits with the knuckle part of the glove every time and gets the full turn of the hi

Quite possibly.......personally i think Khan is the reason Brook is fighting Golovkin......he was chasing a fight with Khan for so long that taking a desperate measure like jumping up 2 weight divisions was his only way of getting a big pay day......all credit to him but its no brave heroic decision like some folk claim. As Cushty says if he wins will Brook stay in the middleweight division....you cant claim to be a natural middleweight but then hop back down to welter when it suits. A return to same day weigh ins are not a long way off the combat sports mark my words.

I dont know about that mate because a lot of boxers avoided the fight i've read. Yes because the money wasnt right....no fighter wants to get embarrassed for pennies.....Hearn got him a great deal. Fighters are not actually afraid of each other despite what the hype will have you believe
-
Certainly not what do you think i am a criminal !!.......it was actually an incredibly attractive young lady i,ll have you know.
-
People saying well done Brook for getting in there and fighting him....its a Rocky fight he,s getting very well paid for a fight he,s expected to lose its the situation any fighter would want to be in if anyone deserves a pat on the back its Eddie Hearn.

Different haggis the jock derby.......enjoy your day Glasgow chaps

Whats the lads name mate i,ll keep an eye out........number of young boxers im very high on but i prefer to put my money where my mouth is with such youngsters so will keep them to myself at this stage .....football wise i watched the son of a friend of a friend play a few years ago and said he would go places Joey Powell he,s had a few games in the West Ham development squad and im told could break through to the senior squad very soon......i can normally pick out boxing talent but footie its just common sense and guesswork for me.
-
Yes mate.....down the Hammers in the afternoon and then a quick dash under the Thames to the 02. Saw them weigh in today if they fight around 10 o clock tomorrow thats nearly 36 hours between weigh in and fight its ridiculous really they might as well not have a weigh in and just come in at whatever weight they like !.......for a fighter the weigh in is the first chance you get to draw energy off your opponent and i think Golovkin will come away even more confident now,Brook looked much smaller and was completely hydrated......Brook can keep saying he suits the weight better but the harsh

Whats that all about people dont actually talk like that do they .......cant remember talking to many people from Notts but maybe i have and just didnt know what the f**k they was saying !........what a strange accent,dont seem very mature to me

do you think wolves is black country kay i dont think so, even cannock sounds different to wolverhampton lol I spent a short spell living in Willenhall many years ago if im not wrong the Black Country is Walsall,Bilston,Dudley etc......but not Wolverhampton as i was constantly being told at the time......but you,s will know more than me.........good little football area all them clubs so close to each other i enjoyed the time i spent round there.......cant say as i miss that accent though

Stone me some of you lads certainly take all this betting malarkey a bit serious its only a bit of a bet for a giggle on an internet forum theres no need to go getting the odds calculator out and looking for motivational speakers etc ! Thats the spirit Keepdigging....i might be getting you mixed up with somebody else but isnt Brook out of your neck of the woods somewhere ? Im quite looking forward to this fight ive never really paid much attention to Brook im told his chin is solid and i think its going to need to be.....its not a fight id normally go to with no local lads on the card
-
Yes i,ll go with Golovkin then.....we on ?

Something not right there.............when we was kids they came here on the banana boat now they fly here first class !

I think Kes should be banned from our screens personally......he wasnt even black !

Im spending most of my time in Cyprus these days ive become addicted to this Tzatziki stuff its a yoghurt and cucumber based dip that gets drained and mixed with garlic,lemon etc......i cant get enough of it i keep getting strange looks from folk in restaurants over there when im sitting dipping my chips and just about anything else in it !........its a look of complete contempt a bit like the way we look at Northerners who have gravy on their chips

The reason they will have chosen London City Airport is because its not the sort of airport you set off from on your holidays with the family its long been associated with wealthy businessmen who dont have time for the normal 2 hour check ins and being very close to one of the biggest financial districts in the world yet at the same time being on the doorstep of a deprived area with a large black population......they probably thought it was the perfect opportunity to get publicity for their cause. Regardless of the fact that this was a former dockyard which Maggie redeveloped back in the ,

" black lives matter " these are great days to be alive lads dont you think.....future generations will think its hilarious looking back on this era we should be grateful we was here to see it ! So lets get this right.....pollution is racist and black people are attracted to airports but do not use airplanes......and despite the fact there is a police unit set up specifically to tackle black on black crime in London ( Trident )........." Black Lives Matter " !! I just love it when people are so confused they cant quite work out what it is they want to be offended about and end up ma
