By Scott Gilfoid: British junior middleweight champion Liam Williams (15-0-1, 10 KOs) has been sparring with unbeaten Kell Brook (36-0, 25 KOs) to get him ready for his fight against Gennady “GGG” Golovkin, and he’s come to the conclusion that he’s a better fighter the Kazakhstan fighter. Williams thinks Brook is a fighter technically than GGG.
What this all means is hard to decipher, because being a better technically than another fighter doesn’t mean that you’re going to beat them obviously. For the sake of argument, let’s pretend that Brook is a better fighter than Golovkin technically by a slight amount.
