He was getting beaten to the head and body and wasn't throwing back.

Don't get me wrong, he was under a lot of pressure, but he was still moving and still looked like he had his wits about him. I guess you have to trust the corner, whichever reason it is.

Totally disagree, was getting his head snapped back multiple times, smashed to the body and wasn't throwing back, went on for 2 minutes, it was a 10-8 round and he'd of had nothing left for the next round. Probably saved Brook's career.

Not a massive knowledge of boxing and I understand the notion of a punchers chance...but he wasn't winning that fight was he? Frustrating because it was a great fight but the energy had gone, he'd landed several good punches that hadn't worked, the flurry or single huge punch that won him the fight wasn't coming, why risk it

he was starting to get messed up... I can understand looking out for Kell's future, but I'd be pissed if I paid for that.

I dunno (because I didn't, a mate who did Facebook live streamed it, there's no way of stopping that is there? There was 4/5 people doing it on my timeline) but that was more exciting than several of the mayweather and have PPVs I've wasted money on

I've seen fighters with bad eye injuries in the past get stopped Mitchell v Linares for example that was a shocker

It's a part of the sport unfortunately these things happen

I know... I was just thinking emotionally, but I understand very clearly that this was the right decision. Seen way too many fights with guys being beaten to a pulp for no reason other than the crap purse the fighters receive.

Brook comes out of this looking good regardless of how it ended. It will probably be easy for him to score a couple of big money fights in the States next year.

Can't see it ever happening, Khan will be all talk and believe that he's the draw when in reality he's not 

Khan tends not to duck people, he likes a pound note too. I can see the fight happening, even if it's not on Khan's terms.
