Both, Khan and Brook are damaged goods in different ways, but I think Brook will KO Khan in a very entertaining fight. I hope, for their own good, they retire after this fight.
It hurts me because i’m rooting for Khan but i think you are probably right..
I’m not so sure. Just look at Brook’s last fight against Crawford. Sure, Crawford is in a league of his own, but the way Brook was so easily destroyed, plus the broken orbital bones from past fights, makes me think Brook is already more damaged than Khan.
And at least Khan is coming off a victory, unlike Brook. That should give Khan a psychological edge.
I guess we’ll see tonight.
fight should have happened 5 years ago . say who cares??
Its hard one to call but older top bods like these two can still make a top fight. I’m slightly leaning towards Amir just that he appears a little less worn. If Kell as any flashbacks of 2014 then he wins by ko.
Glass jaw vs glass temples.
I think Khan takes a decision, but I don’t care. Just hoping that after all of these years of buildup and over-buildup, they fight like they absolutely hate each other and it’s a great fight. I think it will be.
