I read earlier that Brand is getting $30k for the fight. Now i know the cost of living in Columbia is pretty low but surely that barely even covers his camp!

Really want to make sure I see him live at some point, hopefully a fight in Belfast November time. It's really difficult to. Froch v Taylor could be a contender. Honeyghan v Curry? I reserve judgement on Fury beating Klitschko until we see what is actually left of Wlad in the rematch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 Does Brook have a shot here? Can't see many giving him much of a chance? He's a decent fighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stortz Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 One week to go! I don't think so @Super, but he seems amazingly confident. I think GGG is different gravy for any other middleweight, let alone someone coming up so far to a weight they've never fought at. I don't think Kell thinks he can lose because he hasn't yet, but he'll have to pull off a miracle here. Can't wait to see him try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Boxers at any weight all "big" up themselves pre fight. Then they stare at their opponent in some kind of tough act for the benefit of the press at the weight in. All so very predictable...... Then they get to the actual fight and try to hammer the other bloke to the canvas or beat him so much that they win on points. Of course you get real showmen like Ali who become famous all over the world but to me I just don't get the point of trying to beat up the other guy and get paid handsomely for it.

Agree toughest fight for both, but something makes me think Kell may out box GGG. Watching him yesterday in the public work out he was switching stance and I think that's going to be his gameplan. Interested in how Hawkins does on Saturday , big stage for him against Hall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching him yesterday in the public work out he was switching stance and I think that's going to be his gameplan. Interested in how Hawkins does on Saturday , big stage for him against Hall Kell will be relying on his speed more than anything else I would say. GGG is a very underrated boxer, as @joe jordans teeth and I were discussing a few pages back. He is incredibly effective at closing down the ring and getting his opponents exactly where he wants them before opening up. His footwork is exceptional too. I got the impression from the presser today that as the fight gets closer Kell's confidence is waning too despite what is coming out of his mouth. Agree with you that Haskins v Hall is going to be very interesting. It's certainly a massive stage for Haskins as you say, the sort he doesn't normally experience due to his not exactly crowd pleasing style. As an aside, I also believe Lee might have the worst tattoos in boxing! I'm really looking forward to it- I think @B1ackbird said he was at the first fight between them? @Super it's been hard for GGG to get decent fights, every bugger runs a mile, like El Pollo Canelo! David Limeux was a highly regarded KO artist and GGG dismantled him in short order. Watch for him dropping his hands and letting Kell hit him, he likes it Mexican Style! Big Drama Show! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm sure he'll still have the speed, but will he have the pop? His biggest issue is that he'll be hitting a much bigger opponent than he's used to; I can see his shots bouncing off GGG who has never been down in 380 amateur and 35 pro fights. And if you can't keep Gennady off you, you are in a world of trouble! Because: Edited September 8, 2016 by Stortz inserted video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see we agree on something!!! Tough, tough fight for Brook and like you say be interesting to see how he reacts to when GGG cuts down the size of the ring and is on top of him. Kell has to take the centre of the ring, good footwork and be aggressive and as daft as it sounds for a boxer accept he's going to get hit hard but keep pushing into his punches. It's a dangerous game plan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stortz Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 There are lot of rumours that GGG is unwell with a stomach bug. He certainly looked a bit gaunt at the weigh in today, but it's probably just Matchroom trying to generate more PPVs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 I expect Kell to put up a decent display early on but I think he'll lose on points or may even get stopped in the 9th or after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
