By Scott Gilfoid: Kell Brook lost to IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin last Saturday night, but he sure wasn’t in the mood to give him credit afterwards. Golovkin stopped the injured Brook in round five after his trainer Dominic Ingle threw in the towel to save him from getting seriously hurt by Triple G at the O2 Arena in London, England.

After the fight, Brook revealed that he had hurt Golovkin not just once, but twice in the fight, saying that he had buckled his knees on two occasions. I’m not sure which round Golovkin was supposedly hurt by Brook, but I guess it doesn’t matter. Brook was well beaten in suffering a broken right eye socket, and his trainer Ingle made sure the fight was stopped by throwing in the white towel to have referee Marlon Wright save Brook.

By Scott Gilfoid: For the boxing fans that saw last Saturday’s match between IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin and Kell Brook, they saw Triple G break him down and get a 5th round stoppage in a fight that was clearly controlled by GGG at the O2 Arena in London, England. However, according to Brook’s promoter Eddie Hearn, it was Brook who was ahead on the scorecards at the time of the stoppage.

Hearn says that he was told by World Boxing Council president Mauricio Suliaman moments after the fight ended that Brook was ahead on the scorecards. I don’t know about you, but that’s pretty shocking news to me, because I saw a different fight than the judges.

I had Golovkin winning round 1, 3, 4 and 5. The only round I gave to Brook was round two. I thought Brook definitely won the 2nd round, but that was his last and only hoorah in the fight.

It’s crazy to think that Brook was ahead in the fight against Golovkin through five rounds, because what rounds could you give Brook besides the 2nd? You couldn’t give him round one, because he was staggered by Golovkin. You couldn’t give Brook rounds three and four, because he was running from Golovkin.

It’s so very weird. Having Brook ahead on the scorecards reminds me of how Saul Canelo Alvarez was ahead of Amir Khan through six rounds last May. I had Khan in control of the fight four rounds to one at the time that he was knocked out in round six.

By Eris Baldwin: Kell Brook (36-1, 25 KOs) tried his best tonight but he suffered a right eye injury that led to his fight against IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (36-0, 33 KOs) being stopped in the 5th round by referee Marlon Wright at the O2 Arena in London, England.

Golovkin: I broke Kell Brook – results

By Allan Fox: IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (36-0, 33 KOs) says he got too anxious tonight in his fight against challenger Kell Brook (36-1, 25 KOs) and that’s why it took him loner to eventually get to him for a 5th round stoppage. Brook’s long-time trainer Dominic Ingle threw in the towel in the 5th to save him from taking needless punishment once he saw that the fight had spun out of control for his fighter.

Golovkin said he broke Kell Brook, and in truth, he did break him down with his shots. Golovkin’s heavy hands caused Brook to suffer an eye injury that he says had him unable to see clearly out of his right eye.

By Scott Gilfoid: As I predicted, IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (36-0, 33 KOs) stopped challenger Kell “Special K” Brook (36-1, 25 KOs) by a 5th round technical knockout on Saturday night after his trainer Dominic Ingle threw in the towel to have the fight halted at the O2 Arena in London, England. Believe it or not, Brook was ahead on the scorecards at the time of the stoppage, which is hard to believe.

I had Brook winning only round two. Brook was staggered in round one, and running from round three. I don’t how the judges could have had Brook ahead. I had predicted that Ingle would toss in the towel the first Brook got in trouble, and that’s what happened.

Malignaggi: Brook’s athleticism will be key against Golovkin

BOXING

By Allan Fox: Sky pundit Paulie Malignaggi sees Kell Brook’s athleticism and speed to be the key for him tonight if he’s got beat middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin at the O2 Arena in London, England. Brook thinks that Brook is going to need to use his boxing skills and sharp punches for him to get the better of the harder punching Golovkin.

Still, Malignaggi isn’t sure whether Kell will be able to do that with the pressure that he’s going to be under from Golovkin from the earliest moments of the fight. Malignaggi notes that Kell could lose his head once he starts getting hit hard by Golovkin for the first time.
