Sky Sport of GB is controlling the telecast. Jim and Bernard have no control nor does HBO, just waiting for the fighters to enter. I have not been his excited for a fight since Wlad vs Haye.
Watching the preliminary commentary on HBO now. It is painful watching Bernard Hopkins trying to speak like an intelligent human being. Fighting was clearly his calling. Talking is not.
Yeah he be using ebonics here and there. He does know his boxing. By the way Hopkins was at his most watchable when he fought smaller guys like De La Hoya and Felix Trinidad.
After the Rotherham Horror and all the other sex grooming disgraces in England, how any white Britisher could want to do anything for or with non-whites in Britain other than expel every single one of them from the country, is beyond me.
That was a great stoppage by Brook's corner. They knew it was just a matter of a rd or two before Brook was leveled unconscious. Great head movement by Brook to avoid GGG bombs.
He did win one round, and I got nervous too, but really it was only a matter of time before GGG put those patented rapid fire combos together. I've never seen anyone who keeps his balance with multiple follow up punches like he does, plus he's very strong and takes punches very well too.
Brook seemed to stop fighting in the 5th round. He was against the ropes and just stopped moving and throwing punches. Golovkin would have knocked him down very soon if his corner hadn't stepped in.
Like I said Brook's corner saw the writing on the wall. Let it go and have Brook permanently damaged or stop a bit too soon and have him ready to beat most 154 lbers.
True! Brook's eye was giving him problems...he avoided what could have been permanent damage...give him credit...he looked good in the 2nd Round...but GGG is a brutal warrior! The body shots are legendary...his stalking skills are savage..the jab on another level
If GGG was sick at weigh-in & not 100% for the fight.... he would never admit it. He looked winded at times..something did seem a bit off
His post fight interview was interesting ...calling it a "street fight"..."game over".....& "breaking him down"....& the infamous "give big drama show"...but only rated himself " 3 or 4"
