    looking forward to this fight, however can't see kell winning sadly.

    I'm hoping the rumours about ggg having flu are true, but in all honesty I like him too, so won't mind him winning.

    I'm hoping kell does well in the fight because he deserves respect for what he's already achieved and for taking this fight, regardless of people saying he's just fought bums other than porter he's never lost.

    The guy can't win with these losers he's either fighting bums or avoiding some ****!

    Similar feeling mate. Hope he can but GGG is lethal. They say kell has fought no one but no one wants to fight him. Listen to what Mayweather said, "everybody is sleeping on kell brooks talent"

    Should be a cracking fight. Brook will be awesome at this weight, but Golovkin is a beast.
    I would love to be proved wrong, but I think it is a big leap too far for Brook. Buf hd can hit as well, so you never know...

    Great day tomorrow. Round to my brother's to watch the Toon match, followed by a night of box office boxing. Yeaaahhh.

    I can't bare Golovkin. Pussied out of fighting Ward (who'd make him look silly) at a catch-weight because he wants to unify the middleweight division but calls out smaller fighters (Mayweather, Canelo) and ends up fighting 1 (Brook). Hes also considered top 5 p4p when his most impressive win is Martin Murray. I think the jump in weight will be too much for Kell unfortunately though but I hope I'm wrong

    I think Kell may pull this off but it will likely be on points.

    This fight WILL be closer than people think. Clearly the step up might be to much for Brook but if he keeps moving and does not get hit (Golovkin hits hard) much he might stand a chance. He has to plan to take it to later rounds as Golovkin relies on his power and the knockout.....

    Im going Golovkin but only because hes a hard arse..... Brook needs to grind him down and I think he is fit enough to do so!

    I can see brook starting well and hurting him. But if he doesn't stop him golovkin will get home to the body and brook will tire. Admirable from Brook taking it on. I like GGG attitude though. It's refreshing to hear a boxer just say I'm a middleweight so if you want to fight me then fight me at middleweight. He is not daft and there is a big diff giving weight away the higher the weights. Someone like ward is a good example, big super middle fighting at light heavy. A light heavy and a middleweight is quite big. GGG is not gonna be better going up or down, unless he can get canelo sorted he has no one to fight is the problem. I mean Eubank Jr?!

    Yeah, this weight division will really suit him. He could have done with one or two fights at this level before facing someone of GGGs quality, but you can't fault his ambition.

    Too quick, Brook needs to train at middleweight for 6-12 months before being comfortable at that weight, he's jumped in too quickly, I suspect he'll go for it but get his lights switched off inside 5 rounds.

    As soon as GGG catches him flush, Special K will be cornflaked.

    Kell has definitely got a chin but don't scratch his cheek

    Golovkin was always a step too far and now faces spence so that's a massive fight which is more realistic

    Just not powerful enough but nobody is I think ggg actually played with his food personally.

    I wish that pussy Khan would fight brook he knows he won't win

    I used to like Khan but he's not giving the fans what they want
