I have Kell winning that round.
Despite Kell exposing and exploiting Golovkin's flaws, he's taking way too much punishment and I can't see Kell lasting to the end.

He's going to have to take a lot more left hooks if he's going to go the distance
And at some point he's not going to see them coming. From round one he looked worried about it

GGG comes out super pissed every around. Kell has to be careful for the first minute every time.

Golovkin better hope this doesn't go the distance, because best believe Kell is getting the benefit of the doubt and the close rounds in the judging being it's in the UK.

I got brook up 2-1. GGG looks sick and slow and not ready. Brook is really slow footed and this is a perfect fight for him. He can't beat a quicker fighter like Mayweather or manny.

What a shit way to end a good fight.

Yeah I don't think he wanted Kell to lose his eye and therefore his career

Got a new respect for brook, exposed ggg as overrated. Canelo would beat him.

Can't argue with that to be honest, the punishment was adding up and it was a matter of when, not if, Brook was getting knocked out.
Fair play to his corner for doing their job and looking after their fighter.

The towel was weak, but Kell was going to get knocked out.
No need to enable further damage to his eye and everything when he isn't really defending himself.

Fuck that, Golovkin would have killed him.

LOL @ GGG being something special. This fight didn't show it and it remains to be seen where Golovkin is at. Golovkin is still waiting for a career defining fight, and he's only getting older.

Good fight. Good stoppage. He really exposed GGG's game. Props to Brook for hanging in there and landing some decent shots that did make it seem like he was winning.
I know it is somewhat typical of GGG to rush his opponents but for once, we saw a boxer who took advantage of it and boxed with GGG.

Exactly what I'm thinking now. I still give edge to GGG.

Dude's eye was fine. Should of at least let him finish the round and get to the 6th.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Yeah disappointing end to what was going down to be a good fight... but let's be honest Brook was getting fucking mugged that last round... and it was inevitable what way this was going to go.
Brook hit GGG with his best shots MULTIPLE times and it did nothing... GGG wasn't going to stop hurting Brook.
I just wish they let the round finish.
BUT, that's the most vulnerable GGG has looked pretty much ever.

Golovkin would knock out Canelo.

1. No way should they rematch. Brook was totally outclassed, couldn't hurt him.
2. Must be a broken eye socket or something, it was definitely done for a reason.

haha what? Brook was landing great shots and Golovkin barely batted an eyelid, there's no questions that need a rematch to be answered.

Golovkin has yet to fight a great fighter. He's fighting in a very weak middleweight division and didn't take the chance to fight Andre Ward for p4p number 1 at Super middleweight. Now it's going to be Kovalev vs Ward that's going to determine who's the best fighter of boxing.
Gareth Bale

He was getting stronger and stronger. It didn't look like it
Definitely that.
Not necessarily throughout the whole fight but he was stunned from 1-2 punches Brook landed.
