    His eye socket has been smashed twice now, he tries to cover it by holding his hand high now, so it’s obvs still a weak spot physically and mentally. If he takes a couple of big shots on it, and I think he will, this will be his last hurrah.

    Shame really, as I’ve always liked Brook, but he should have never taken Golovkin in his prime, suicide mission that.

    The main event on BT tonight should be a good fight, I watched the first one Heffron vs Bentley rematch for the British MW title. Draw first time round. Fancy Bentley to get the job done this time.

    The women's boxing is free on Youtube tonight. Probably says something about the quality of the bill.

    Well that was over fast.... Probably a tad early, but Crawford wasn't even outvof 2dt gear until that round.

    Brook should retire

    But harsh he took 4 fights others would've avoided and came up short in 3 .. He made no excuses post fight... Perhaps a certain American should take note of that... I think he wasn't tough enough for the elite and waited too late to step up and was badly managed also... Not sure we've got anyone at welter now that I'm aware of, so hopefully someone comes through because he along with Khan are finished and I've no interest in them now

    He won 2 or perhaps 3 rounds prior to be fair but once Crawford went up a gear and switched it turned very quickly

    Brook's not an elite level fighter, but it's a bit harsh to rubbish him for losing to the people who beat him.
    He's just not in Golovkin's weight class, yet he still gave a good account of himself until the power difference took it's toll.
    Spence and Crawford are both excellent, unbeaten boxers in their prime with decent names on their records.
    No shame in losing to them.

    Where does he go from here, though? Might make the Khan fight for a money maker before retiring, I guess.
    Hard to see a way forward for him that leads to anything meaningful, though.

    He’s a clown. A punchbag for apex boxers in his division. Never liked him.

    that division is stacked and he's come up short... He's too thick and nowhere near tough enough.. I get the feeling he was never given any proper work... Seemed to fight tin cans then jump right up to the p4p best.... Khan and him both made of bolsa Wood and both quitters
