By Scott Gilfoid: Amir Khan said today that fellow countryman Kell Brook (36-0, 25 KOs) needs to focus on the task at hand in in his upcoming fight against IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (35-0, 32 KOs) on September 10 at the O2 Arena in London, England. Khan said, “If I was you I’d focus on GGG #wewantyoutowin 😉” This was a response on Khan’s part to a comment made by Brook earlier in the day in which he compared Khan to the Kardashians.

Khan recently changed his mind about not wanting to fight Brook. This change of opinion about the fight after all this time struck Brook has funny for some reason. Just why is unknown.

The main reason that Khan had little interest in fighting Brook for many years was because he wasn’t fighting the best guys. He was being matched against fighters like Frankie Gavin, Jo Jo Dan, and Matthew Hatton instead of the world class guys.

Brook: I would beat everyone on Golovkin’s record

by

By Dan Ambrose: IBF welterweight champion Kell “Special K” Brook (36-0, 25 KOs) has been coming up with a variety of reasons why he’ll be able to defeat unbeaten IBF/IBO/W BA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (35-0, 32 KOs) in their fight on September 10.

The new reasons are fairly exhausting with Brook saying that he would have beaten everyone that Golovkin has ever fought before in pro career. Brook is now saying that his punching power is better than Golovkin’s, and his chin is better as well. Just how Brook could go about proving such a theory is unclear.

His record would have you believe that his punching isn’t on part with Golovkin’s, because he doesn’t have the same KO percentage. Brook has knocked out 69% of his opponents compared to Golovkin’s 91%. That right there would give you an indication that Brook doesn’t have the same kind of punching power.

Brook: I have no respect for Golovkin’s power

By Scott Gilfoid: Kell Brook says he has no respect for the punching power of IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (35-0, 32 KOs), and that he can’t wait to feel his power on September 10 next month. Brook is actually looking forward to getting hit by Golovkin so that he can see for himself how hard he hits. Brook feels that when he hits Golovkin back, it’ll make him less eager to want to come forward to throw his own power shots.

Brook says he’s eating good now and is well hydrated. He feels that he’s hitting harder because of the added weight that he has on his frame compared to previous training camps. Brook has little over a month to go before he faces Golovkin on September 10.

Kell Brook: I’m at my natural weight at 160

(Photo Courtesy/Lawrence Lustig, Matchroom Boxing) By Scott Gilfoid: After recently saying that he’s a natural junior middleweight, Kell Brook (36-0, 25 KOs) is now saying that he’s going to be at his natural weight at 160 when he faces unbeaten IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (35-0, 32 KOs) in their fight next month on September 10 at the O2 Arena in London, England.

If Brook is going to be at his natural weight of 160 against Golovkin, it begs the question of why Brook has been choosing to fight smaller fighters than himself at welterweight all these years. Was it to get an advantage over them? If so, then how sporting is that.

(Photo Courtesy/Lawrence Lustig, Matchroom Boxing) By Scott Gilfoid: IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin has much respect for his next opponent welterweight Kell Brook, who he’ll be facing on September 10 next month at the O2 Arena in London, UK. The two fighters met today in London for their press conference over there.

Golovkin made it clear that he wants to give the British boxing fans a “big present” on September 10 in his fight against Brook, which he promises to be a real “drama show.” That means that Golovkin plans on knocking Brook out and making him his 23rd consecutive knockout win.

Jeff Mayweather talks Golovkin vs. Brook fight

(Photo Courtesy/Abel Sanchez) By Dan Ambrose: Jeff Mayweather thinks that welterweight Kell Brook could give middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (35-0, 32 KOs) some problems with his size early in their fight on September 10. Jeff said that he met with Brook previously and he was surprised at how big he was for a welterweight.

Jeff describes Brook as being ‘huge’ when stood next to him. But with that being said, Jeff still sees Golovkin breaking the 30-year-old Brook down before stopping him in the later rounds in their fight at the O2 Arena in London, UK.

Hatton doubts Brook can beat Golovkin

by

hatton

(Photo credit: Amanda Westcott/SHOWTIME) By Patrick McHugh: Former two division world champion Ricky Hatton believes that welterweight Kell Brook will do well for a few rounds in his title challenge against IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (35-0 32 KOs) in their fight on September 10, but ultimately, Golovkin’s size, power and punching ability will be too much for Brook.

Hatton doesn’t blame Brook for taking the shot against Golovkin, because it’s such a big payday for him. Hatton notes that the top guys in the 147lb division didn’t want any part of fighting Brook, so he had to do something to get a big fight. The parade was passing Brook by and he was watching his career move forward without him being able to get any of the big career defining fights.

IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (36-0, 25 KO’s) is the rising star from England who dares to challenge the top gun of the middleweight division, one of the most feared fighters of our time: Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (35-0, 32 KO’s).

Guerrero: Kell Brook is crazy to fight Golovkin

Image: Guerrero: Kell Brook is crazy to fight Golovkin

By Scott Gilfoid: Former two division world champion Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero thinks Kell “Special K” Brook (36-0, 25 KOs) is crazy to be moving up two weight divisions to take on unbeaten IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (35-0 32 KOs) on September 10 at the O2 Arena in London, England.

Guerrero thinks Brook should have at least fought a couple of tune-up fights at 160 beore taking on Golovkin, who he rates as the best fighter in the middleweight division today. Guerrero thinks that the 30-year-old Brook is taking a dangerous move by jumping straight into the middleweight division against Golovkin rather than easing his way in by facing a couple of guys to get acclimated to the weight. Guerrero sees this fight as one that could wind up with Brook getting hurt.
