    Should be a decent fight, one where the vast majority of pro's, ex pro's and pundits give Brook no chance what so ever.

    Predictions please.

    GGG to win by TKO in the 8th.

    Has Brook gone up a weight or something to take the fight...?

    Yeah Brook has gone up two weight divisions I think. Ultimately that will be his downfall I think. Still - 2 undefeated fighters laying it on the line, should be a decent bout.

    It is mate.

    I've got a load of mates I was in the Army with coming to my gaff for BBQ and then we'll settle down with a fine single malt to watch the fight.

    Hopefully my house won't get wrecked.

    Just seen an interview with Alex Ariza and he reckons the amount of weight Brook has put on ( he was 11 pounds heavier than GGG with 30 days to fight night) will affect his speed and explosiveness cometh the day.

    PFP Golovkin has to be the best fighter around. I hope Brook is on the right end of a great pay day I'll take a little earlier around 6th.

    I'm going with brook...... I think he can
    Cause a shock, it's been done before
    By Brit boxers, Lloyd honeyghan comes
    To mind against the "unbeatable don curry
    and no one gave Benn a chance
    Against Gerald McClellan....
    Brook's a very good fighter, he has an outside
    Chance.....

    If it goes past 6 i would really fancy Brook to win,i don't think he deserves to be such a large priced underdog as most bookies have him and i will put a small wager on him.

    GGG is an animal in the ring .. definitely the best pound for pound fighter in the world right now and hits like a steam train .. Got to admire Brook going up 2 weights to have a rumble with him but given that GGG is a natural middleweight I suspect he'll have too much for Brook .. all over by the 4th hopefully Brook don't get hurt bad

    Would like to see a shock but the weight division issue will be the biggest factor against Brook, ignoring the obvious fact that Golovkin is a beast.

    Anything can happen on the night though. A few good connections early on and Brook will try to capitalise.

    Mis-match, for me.

    GGG within 5 rounds.

    If GGG tried he could probably knock him out in the first round, just depends how long he drags it out for.

    Brook has only fought 1 tough fighter in his career so let's not carried away.

    GGG seemed well off in the weigh in. I've changed my mind - Kell for the win. He looked confident, assured and ready to shock the boxing world.

    Golovkin looked distracted at the weigh in and uncomfortable. Kell has got to him I think.

    Golovkin looked knackered and disentersted at the weigh in, I think he even yawned at one point.

    Brook actually looked bigger and in better nick, it'll be interesting to see how Brooks body copes with the sudden increase in demand on his body when fighting at this weight.

    If he gets too confident I can see him getting sparked out early doors, if he plays it canny I think he'll push GGG close.

    Very close.

    It's hard enough fighting GGG when it's your proper weight. Going up two divisions... sorry, I really like Brook, but he's got no chance.
