By Scott Gilfoid: Amir Khan thinks welterweight Kell “Special K” Brook used the wrong game plan for his fight against IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin in their fight on September 10 in London, England. Khan suspects that Brook, 30, made up his mind that he couldn’t win the fight against Golovkin before he even stepped foot into the ring, so he just went out looking to war with Golovkin to go out in a blasé of glory.

Khan believes that Brook just went there for a payday against Golovkin, and not to try and win the fight. Khan saw the fight as a win-win situation for Brook, because he would get a big payday fighting Golovkin, and he would get a lot of credit from boxing fans if he brawled with him. However, Khan thinks that Brook would have stood a better chance if he’d boxed him, and used his boxing skills rather than standing and slugging.

Kell Brook: Who will he fight in early 2017?

10/11/2016 by Boxing News

By Scott Gilfoid: IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook is on record saying he wants to get a big fight when he returns to the ring in January or February 2017 following his stoppage loss to Gennady Golovkin. It’s still a question mark whether Brook will be able to return to the ring in three to four months to resume his boxing career. Brook had eye surgery recently to repair a broken right eye socket he suffered in his 5th round TKO loss to Golovkin on September 10 at the O2 Arena in London, England.

Getting back in the ring in early 2017 is fairly ambitious for a fighter like Brook. It’s hard to imagine Brook fighting in just three to four months, because it would mean that would need to start sparing soon. Even with protection in terms of a face mask, it still would be risky for Brook to be sparring that early after a broken eye socket.

Kell Brook exposed Golovkin, says Mayweather

10/18/201610/10/2016 by Boxing News

By Scott Gilfoid: Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. is convinced that welterweight Kell Brook (36-1, 25 Kos) “exposed” IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (36-0, 33 KOs) in their match on September 10 last month at the O2 Arena in London, England.

Mayweather somehow feels that Brook came out ahead despite him getting stopped in the 5th round. I’m not too sure how Mayweather thinks Brook did a great job in the fight, when he was pummeled and stopped in the 5th round. Brook was little more than a punching bag for Golovkin from rounds three until the bitter end in the 5th.

Golovkin-Brook stoppage looked like a fix, says Mayweather

10/09/2016 by Boxing News

By Dan Ambrose: Floyd Mayweather Jr. says he didn’t like the way welterweight Kell Brook’s trainer Dominic Ingle stepped in and threw in the towel in the 5th round in the Gennady “GGG” Golovkin fight last September. Mayweather says it looked “like a fix” the way Ingle tossed the towel in suddenly in the 5th.

Brook was still standing at the time, trying to make Golovkin miss with his power shots. Mayweather probably thought it looked weird because Brook was unhurt other than his right eye, which he dabbed at earlier in the round.

Kell Brook might quit against Errol Spence

10/08/2016 by Boxing News

By Scott Gilfoid: Dewey Cooper, the trainer for WBO welterweight champion Jessie Vargas, believes that unbeaten #1 IBF 147lb contender Errol Spence Jr. (21-0, 18 Kos) will beat IBF welterweight champion Kell “Special K” Brook (36-1, 25 KOs) if/when the two of them wind up facing each other in the near future. Cooper believes that Brook quit in his 5th round knockout loss to IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (36-0, 32 KOs) in their fight on September 10 at the O2 Arena in London, England.

Cooper suspects that once the going gets tough against Spence, Brook will revert to form and quit once against mentally. Spence will then win the fight by knockout to take Brook’s IBF title.

Hearn says Brook-Spence is a possibility

10/05/2016 by Boxing News

By Scott Gilfoid: Matchroom Sport promoter Eddie Hearn isn’t ruling out a fight between his fighter IBF welterweight champion Kell “Special K” Brook (36-1, 25 KOs) and #1 IBF mandatory challenger Errol “The Truth” Spence Jr. (21-0, 18 KOs) in the near future once the 30-year-old Brook comes back from his broken right eye socket injury.

Hearn believes that Brook could make it back down to welterweight at 147, but he doesn’t believe that he’d be 100 percent at that weight due to him having a hard time making the 147lb limit. Hearn says that Brook’s next fight will be one of the following fighters: Spence, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, Miguel Cotto or Amir Khan.

IBF to order Kell Brook vs. Errol Spence

10/04/2016 by Boxing News

By Scott Gilfoid: The International Boxing Federation chairman Lindsey Tucker plans on ordering IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (36-25 KOs) to begin negotiations with his IBF mandatory challenger Errol Spence Jr. (21-0, 18 KOs) on October 26. Brook, 30, will have 30 days to negotiate the fight with the 26-year-old Spence before a purse big is ordered.

Brook has been talking about wanting to move up to 154 to campaign as a junior middleweight following his 5th round TKO loss to IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin last month on September 10. Brook suffered a broken right eye socket in that fight, and he subsequently had eye surgery to repair the problem.

Can Kell Brook come back after eye surgery?

09/30/201609/30/2016 by Boxing News

By Patrick McHugh: Kell Brook (36-1, 25 KOs) did a good job of hanging tough with Gennady “GGG” Golovkin four a portion of their fight on September 10, but he wound up suffering an eye injury that forced the stoppage in the 5th. For all we know, Brook might be ruined goods from the Golovkin fight.

It wouldn’t be the first time that a top notch fighter was ruined by a huge slugger. If Brook falls apart in his first fight coming off his eye surgery, then you have to assume that he wasn’t able to return to the fighter he was before the injury.

Kell Brook was a punching bag for Golovkin says Arum

09/29/2016 by Boxing News

By Scott Gilfoid: There seems to be a disagreement with fans of Kell Brook about how well he did in his 5th round knockout loss to middleweight world champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin and with some of the more knowledgeable boxing experts like promoter Bob Arum. While Brook’s fans think he was doing a swell job in the first four rounds against Triple G and leading by a three rounds to one scoring going into the 5th, Arum says Brook was little more than a punching bag for Golovkin once he realized that he couldn’t punch.

Arum says the fight wasn’t a real fight because of Brook not having the power to make Golovkin respect him. I have to agree with that. Brook looked like an arm puncher in the ring in that fight, and many of his shots were thrown with him leaping into the air, without him setting his feet like the talented fighters do. In other words, Brook undermined his own power by not setting his feet when throwing his shots.

Will Amir Khan vs. Kell Brook finally be made?

09/28/2016 by Angel Flowers

By Angel Flower: It’s no secret Kell “Special K” Brook and Amir “King” Khan have a pretty heated rivalry going on. Amir Khan has refused to fight Brook in the past because he felt Brook had not done anything to earn the fight and wanted too much money.

I can see this all changing now and expect these two dynamic fighters to finally give the people of the UK the biggest all UK fight of 2017 if not the biggest fight in the world. Fans from both sides of the ocean want to see this match up from two of the toughest men in boxing right now, their resume speaks for itself.
