  Initial thought was shock at the fight being made, that's not changed in the past week or so since the announcement, similar to Khan against Canelo, Brook could lose the fight and come out of it with credit.
  
  The problem is that GGG is a destructive puncher and Brook could get seriously hurt but lets hope that doesn't happen

  Yeah similar to that fight in the way that no matter what the result Brook will get tonnes of credit just cos he's taking the fight where other middleweights have been hesitant. I see brook getting completely knocked out I just hope it's nothing serious and he'll be ok after it

  Yeah it's a joke how the middleweights like Canelo have swerved GGG, Brook has been kind of sent this route by having difficulty attracting a top level fight at Welterweight largely due to the division being full of talkers like Garcia, Bradley and Thurman who are happy to talk low risk big fights but not one with Brook where their self made reputations would be shattered by defeat

  So true Carl, the other welterweights want no part of brook however much they say they do, they know they'll likely lose and put and end to their reputations once they have a loss. But I just don't see Book having even the slightest chance against GGG though, he simply hits too hard for Brook so I expect a short night

  I agree Jack, I do hope we are both wrong and Brook's comments about how strong and beast like he is at the weight will be true and he can cause a huge upset but I think it be an honourable defeat for Kell

  oh yeah For sure I really hope that he could pull off a huge upset but he just doesn't have the chin to live with GGG. I remember him being hurt by Carson Jones all those years back and nearly losing the fight and also getting wobbled by a Ukrainian fighter can't remember his name, so i feel once GGG lands it will unfortunately be a short night

  The first fight with Jones was a brute after he had his nose broken, from memory he went to hospital after the fight with blood loss, I believe the Ukrainian was the same guy who re-retired Hatton, Senchenko.

  Yeah Senchenko thats the one, if he can wobble Brook imagine what will happen when GGG connects with either of his heavy hands. Just seen some of the press conference on Sky Sports today and the Brook camp really believe they can win so the fight will be entertaining as long as it last.

  The Brook camp are very confident and have done so throughout, Brook's size looks like it becoming less of an issue too as he was heavier on the scales than GGG at the 30 day weight check by the tune of 11lbs, I was surprised but it seems clear that Brook had to melt down to get to 147 but you never heard of it being a struggle which is interesting
