I hope brook wins. Khan is a bit stupid calling out racism whilst being homophobic in the same minute. Think Brook seems really nervous and unnerved, can tell how much this means to him. He’s been so mismanaged throughout his career he should’ve had huge fights between Porter and GGG before eventually getting his face broken by the former and Spence. Really hope he pulls it out the bag just think he seems a better guy than Khan
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Khan has certainly won the mental battle and it's Brooks biggest fight. This fight is bigger than a world title because if he loses to Khan, it will haunt him for the rest of his career.
I think for Brook to win this, he has to catch Khan early and make this a toe to toe scrap. He can't wait to counter Khan because that will just play into Khans hands.
Ingle did well to be fair, made BoMac release the game plan, really wound him up
Yep Khan got the better of Brook but Dom was all over Bomac, minus the drinking sweat bit
that was definitely a jug switch
Watching behind the ropes Kell looks in fantastic shape but really does look so slow, even in his face and eyes he’s like two seconds behind reality
If I were Brook, I'd come in at 152 and pay the 300k fine. Beating Khan is more important than losing some money, especially when he will be earning millions for the fight anyway.

I hope so
Was really very weird of Ingle. Theres a bit pressure on him I can’t remember the last time he had a win in a big fight.
I don't rate Ingle that highly as a trainer but he's done well with Brook and I get the feeling he genuinely care about him. Khan's training situation has been disorderly but his best years were with Freddie Roach.
When did dom become head trainer? I wasn’t really following boxing too much around the time of Porter fight etc, was Brendan in the corner as head man?
Lol I’ve never seen a head guard have a face/jaw protector as well, and of course Khan uses one this is the problem I’ve got, Khan’s faster and could box Kell to a decision but that glass chin is so glass, and Khan’s rarely had the intelligence to box smart in his younger faster days and at his age I just don’t think he has the ability to a) avoid Kell at some point and b) to stop and overwhelm Kell with his hand speed

Probably Billy Joe vs that arrogant guy in Canada Lemeiux?
It’s a shame it’s not happening in their prime but this is still such a interesting 50-50 pick em fight

Khan will get drawn into a firefight if Brook lands and the crowd erupts. However, timing beats speed and Brook has the timing.

It's a 50/50 because of all the unknowns. We don't really know how either man will look.
Can anyone see Khan stopping Brook? I think it's possible, if Brook has a bad weight cut.
Won’t complain it’s on PPV either. Both deserve a big final payday, it’s only £20 not £25 so sky haven’t been cheeky and they put Eubank Williams card on last week and have Josh Taylor both for free
Also big shout out to Adam Smith, definitely one of the best people there’s ever been in boxing, really isn’t a bad bone in his body. Watched an interview earlier and he’s just so classy and respectful always has been but that just shone it into so much more light. Genuinely loves boxing and isn’t anti any other boxing channel or promoter or try to disrespect anyone

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I can’t see it lasting 12 rounds, can see a scenario of Khan overwhelming him with speed and getting an stoppage due to no punches coming back or Brook just quitting / towel
I just can’t see a scenario where this goes 12 rounds
I would be in utter shock, if Brook quits. This is a personal fight for him and the rivarly is so intense, I could see him detatching both retinas and still carry on. I think if you gave Brook the choice of losing one eye or quitting against Khan, he'd pick the former.
Says a lot about Hearn that Smith is only now coming across quite sound and people aren’t slagging him in the comments. I just hope brook doesn’t quit. If Khan loses think he can just say happened too late etc his ego will be dented but not really impact him how it will brook imo. No basis to that tbf
Yeh of course but would Ingle let it happen? Doubt it he’d throw the towel in like he has in the past
Weigh in be interesting tomorrow
I'll make my official prediction after the weigh in
Adam Smith has done well for Sky and I am fairly ambivalent about his presence. Whilst professional and clearly a fan of the sport, I find he can go overboard with sticking to the rules.

Brooks probably made Ingle sign a contract that states he can bring no towels to the fight.
