sheepyvillian Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I thought Jacobs looked a spent fighter against Ryder. A close decision but Ryder done all his work in the later rounds so that was always going to impress the judges more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good fight, really enjoyed it, Jacobs can count himself a tad unlucky, I had it as a draw personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would’ve been a good fight a few years ago, now absolutely not I think the build up will be more interesting than the fight. Listening to two boxers that genuinely didn't like each other during their careers talk about that animosity and spite is always fascinating - watching what is pretty much two ex-fighters actually taking that to a ring could go either way. I'm sure I'll end up watching it, but it's not a fight that matters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 The gloves are off is a good doc to watch. Brook looked like he was close to tears when Khan was telling him how it is. This is why I think Khan will have it. He looked way cooler, so I think brook will be fighting on emotion, which is usually a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Two washed up hasbeens. I think khan will win but hope brook wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 It’s too late for this fight but if i stay in I’ll probably buy it. Interested in it, for the needle more so between them. I think Khan will win. Brook looked shot to bits against Crawford, put over with a jab. Now Khan lost to to Crawford but he hung in a bit longer.

I think brook has the power to hurt khan as khan has absolutely no chin and he openly admitted it in thegloves are off however i think brooks emotions are going to take over. He looks too angry and i think he is going to be too rash and make mistakes. Khans got in his head and i think thats what will win it for khan. I think if this fight took place pre golovkin brook wins easy. Brook doesnt look great these days. I personally cant stand khan and hope brook wins but i think khan will win it because brook will boxing to emotionally and not use a game plan properly.

You can always tell a tight decision by the way the losers team accept it. I thought Jacob's team accepted the decision with class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I’m an armchair boxing fan and looking forward to Khan / Brook. I don’t care that they are both washed up now, just hope they put on a show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Isn't Brook's face a mess? He will probably end up with another broken cheekbone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Any one see the press conference? Khan said a homophobic slur to brook and khan accuses brook of being racist. Two fighters acting like absolute bellends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Both in great shape but i thought Brook looked bone dry. Not a bead of sweat on him. We’ll know early on if he’s struggled with the weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
