Though this isn't a championship fight but these fighters are some of the popular names in boxing, so I think it's interesting to watch and bet on this fight.

It seems that this is kinda late right?

Both of them are way past their primes already, they should have fought when at least they can still pull the trigger. But when Brook fought GGG and lost and broke his orbital bone and then Khan knock the hell out by Canelo, I would say that after that, both are wash up already. Maybe Khan has lost his speed already and we all know that he has a glass chin. So I will go with Kell Brook here, not sure if he can get a knock out, may stoppage late like in 10-11 rounds.

Stil hype though specially for British boxing as this two is domestic rivals and for sure still have fans in UK that bought their tickets.

It's a nice match for the veterans in boxing, they passed their prime but they are still fun to watch. I'm surprised that Khan is the favorite here. I will never bet on him, he has a glass chin and I guess Kell Brooks would take advantage of that and will target Khan's weakness.

Both boxers have entered the final years of their careers, this will be a pretty fierce fight and can be said to be the last fight of the two boxers, especially Amir Khan who is planning to retire, the fight will be held on February 19 and both boxers still have plenty of time to play prepare their stamina now, as a person from asia of course I will support amir khan in the match and hope he can get a knockout win before retiring from boxing world.

This looks like an exhibition fight for me, but they are willing to fight, so let's give them a chance, and hopefully they'll entertain us. I can feel that someone would go down in this fight, and if Amik Khan will show his chin, then it could be him. Kell Brook lose to Terence Crawford via TKO in this last fight, but Amir Khan is not Terence Crawford, so he still have a good chance although he is an underdog here.

Both of them are pretty much similar if we judge from the skills and experiences, they're mostly loss when fight with top boxer (e.g. Crawford). Amir Khan aren't active around 2+ years, his last fought was on 2019 while Kell Brook last fought was on late 2020. It's reasonable why Kell Brook is favorited here, I see he's have higher chance to win. He probably win via decision only, knocking out Amir Khan seems hard I guess.

They are not old IMO, they can still give an entertaining fight.

As I go through their record in the OP, I notice that both lose to Crawford via TKO, so these boxers are weak IMO and whoever wins here will never have a chance to beat a champion in Welterweight.

I don't know what boxer should I back, but I think I'll go with the underdog as it has attractive odds.

Exactly, this is my thoughts on the fight, this could be considered as an exhibition because both of them are no longer on their prime years.

But they are about to make a lot of money here because this is a long awaited match that many fans have been calling. At least we are going to see that two of them in the ring as they have been talking trash for many years.

Nobody is bringing up the dynamics of covid affecting the fight, I think brooks does better with a large loud crowd on his side

There might not even be a fight if one of them tests positive.

Or one could be recovering and that could affect them negatively

Kahn wins by decision

I think it's a little late, but it will be fun to watch. I expect it to last 12 rounds, it seems like a knockout will not come out of this match. Amir Khan wins this match with the decision of the referee. I hope the match will not be canceled or postponed due to health conditions. Maybe in the 10th, 11th rounds of the match you mentioned, if the athletes can unlock each other, there will be a surprise knockout. I can more or less guess how they prepared for this match.

Khan has the betting odds of 2.35 while brook 1.53 which good to bet but in this case I'll choose brook same as you said above that they passed their prime year's but this fight is what I like the most both fighter are strong and has a mental ability to fight they are smart in terms of fighting that's why for me this is the good match up.

Right, it's gonna be fun to see Khan and Brook at the same boxing ring. As someone said, they are rivals, and both are from UK. But never got the chance to fight during their prime years. But this is their last chance to milk the hype because there is still.

I'm looking for Brook to win this fight by stoppage or even by knock out. We all know that Khan chin doesn't hold up against a good boxer. And when Brook touches that, for sure Khan will be in queer street, LOL.

Of course, this would easily sell in the UK as both of them are huge names in boxing and both of them are also from the UK. But this could have been an even bigger event during their prime. This must be a very exciting and anticipated match if this was held years before.

This is still a good fight to watch, though, despite the two of them already inactive and old. Their names could still easily ring a bell to many boxing fans.

If I were to bet, my money would go to Kell Brook for the simplest reason that he probably has more left in him than Amir Khan. But I think the odds could have been the other way around during Khan's prime.

I think that what's describe the fight, both are planning to retire, so what better way to exit but having the two of them fight with still a lot of anticipation and make money for them. Although for sure they've earn a lot during their boxing careers, somewhat there is this itch that they need to scratch. So they really need to fight and settle the score between them.

I've watched how he lose in his bouts against Garcia and Canelo those are one-punch knockouts, I thought he'll be in a coma after those knockouts he has speed and power but that chin is always betraying him, I don't think I can bet with Khan, Kell Brooks packs power with both hands I'm afraid we will see another knock out the same fashion like when he was knock out by Canelo, I hope Khan is in a good condition and his chin is harder now.

I doubt that they will knock out each other because as we know, they already passed their prime and all we gonna see is some kind of exhibition fight where it will end on officials' decisions. Khan was a fast and powerful puncher in his prime but it all ends when he losses every time easily when he gets knocked out by his opponent. Now that he has the chance to step in the ring again, I doubt he will attack his opponent like he used to be in the past rather he will be more careful and take his time to score some clean hits.

Oh so finally we will see this fight happening? Been watching to see this fight for a long time and wondering what will be the outcome prime or not. But at this point, when both of them are going out of boxing, I think I will put my bet on Kell Brook. As you have said, he seems to be the fresher of the two, as compare to Khan who have been betrayed by his weak chin, Brook for sure will shoot for that knock out. Just image what will happen in O2 arena if Brook will win by a single knock out punch that will put Amir Khan to sleep.

I'll go for Brook two of the worst knockouts I saw in the boxing ring are of Khan against Canelo and Brook and on Canelo knock there's a huge concern, he is fast and possesses a good combination but against guys who are good in counter punching is always in big trouble Kell brook is a good puncher, He should stay away avoid engages and let his footwork and combination do the thing for him to win, I'm sure Brook will go for the body first so he can target the chin like all the past boxers who beat Khan.

Much better if we have a poll here? Just saying.

I think everyone is going to vote for Brook, as others said, this is long overdue, but still it's worth for boxing fans outside of London. Why? Because we are waiting for it as well, I've seen trash talking about which is part of the game for this two. But Amir Khan for me has taken the more damage in terms of losing fight via worst knock out. His first lost was a knock out in seconds in round 1 if my memory serves me right. An unknown Breidis Prescott is the name, (again this is all coming from my memory as a boxing fan and if I'm wrong kindly correct me). And with that, Khan will retire after this because Brook is going to serve that ass.

Honestly, I can say I watched Amir Khan boxing in the ring against Marcus and Devon, but I haven't seen Khan in the ring on TV in a long time, In the last two years or so, this is the first time I've seen the 2022 topic of Amir Khan vs Kell Brook appear on the Bitcointalk forum.

If, Sportsbet.io, had a betting schedule for them, I would bet on Khan this time.
The reasons below I dare to place a bet for Khan, I often see boxers say words like this, in the end the story falls by an opponent who doesn't speak.
Amir Khan vs Kell Brook: When, where and how to watch the fight (https://www.planetsport.com/boxing/features/amir-khan-kell-brook-when-where-how-to-watch-fight)
Kell Brook:

Amir Khan:

I agree that it is kind of late on their careers but boxing is also for entertainment so I do not mind as long as we get to see a good fight, however I really believe the KO that Khan suffered against Canelo is the main reason he is not the same he was, in other sports we can see a gradual fade of the skills of the stars we like, but in boxing this can happen with a single punch, and since then Khan has not been the same.

That's right, a poll would tell us what's the pulse of the majority, and I think this fight, we have no heavy favorite or the vote could be an opposite of what the bookies are telling. This would be happening in less than a month and the odds are already available in our bookies, so it's nice to know early what everyone thinks about this fight.

This fight IMO is very unpredictable, we should not base on the betting odds, we should base on the respective fighter's performance in their previous game. I guess Khan won his last game but I still think Kell Brook is the more durable guy as this fight could go to the judges' scorecard or one clean punch to the chin of Khan here will end the fight.

Something like exhibition fight but still both are capable of entertaining their fans, they might be on their prime but as you said boxing is also for entertainment, and if promoters see that there are still people who are willing to pay for PPV and to buy their tickets, it's still a good business and what else, gambling industry is also there to make money from this fight, bookies are everywhere to entertained those gamblers who loves betting with this kind of sport gambling.

Those who bet on Amir Khan have something to worry about, Khan is a good technical boxer but everything could end with just one punch in the chin, every time his opponents get into his chin he losses his equilibrium, it will go down to Brooks on how to attack the chin he could go to the body first then target the chin latter, if Brook still has it he can do it, for Khan to win he will have to score points and don't engage, he always losses whenever he engages.

Based from the initial odds, Brook is favored here.
Both fighters are popular on their own way but I don't know if they can still pull a good audience here.
The question also is are they really prepared for this fight? Only few weeks from now.
So preparation is sometimes the key factor how they will perform inside the ring.
We will see it in the first few rounds if they  can last long.

Inactive in 2 years makes him very rusty. I doubt the game will last 5 rounds. I use to think Amir Khan will dominate in boxing about 10 years ago when he beat fighters successively by defending his belt. Its just from the beginning and in the middle when he experienced loss, he also fades.

Kell Brook is still a contender, he is one of the fighters in the days that competes Crawford and Spence rising up together. If we watch the organization from west to east. I'd go for Brooks.

This will be an incredible fight given that both boxers are professional and really proved that they deserve every title they have in boxing. Both boxers have great history and records which I would say that this is a nice match up. Despite being way past of their prime years in boxing, I know they will manage to give us a thrilling and exciting match that could make our heart beat fast from suspense and excitement of what would happen next. In this game, the crowd's favorite is Amir Khan which is a really good boxer despite the age. He has an amazing boxing record and his moves are famous in boxing which I suppose is the reason why he is winning the hearts of many. But let us not underestimate the capability of his opponent Brook who is also an undeniably good boxer that could really bring the arena to life and spice things up. Surely, he would not let Amir win easily, hence, we would see a boxing that is worth it. I believe this would possibly be one of their last games before retiring in boxing, I hope it would turn out really good and be memorable for them to remember during their off the ring years while enjoying their life.

If there's no blood bath between the two it will become a friendly fight between two fighters that can be considered past their prime, but with two fighters wanting to still prove something and nasty talks going between the two I expect the two fighters wanting to dominate the other, I hope Khan chin will not betray him again, his glass chin causes his downfall, especially on his knock out loss against Canelo.

I don't think we will ever see a friendly fight here, both of them want to win and the winner here could probably get a bigger fight. It's mostly about money and winning means there's still money on the next fight especially fi the win is very impressive, so I expect an entertaining fight.

This fight is pretty much 50:50. Khan can win by decision using his speed and outbox for 12 rounds, but it needs just one punch to KO him cold. Anyway, for me I'll go with Brook since betting on speed and outboxing is riskier. It will only need one mistake to render Khan's speed useless. Also, Khan isn't active for 3 years.

Yeah, Canelo's punch was brutal, but it was six years ago. I don't think the effect is still there. Khan is just can't compete in welter division as he doesn't have the chin to absorb heavy punches.

honestly, I don't trust the speed of Khan, if he was fast, he wouldn't be caught up with some solid punches that lands on his chin. He is too careless IMO and with some glass chin, that would definitely his weakness and Kell Brook will surely exploit that.

Thank you for the suggestion, a poll has been added and you guys can cast your vote so we will know what's the majority think about this fight. I voted already, and I like  Kell Brook to win because he is an underdog and I think he can beat Amir Khan.

Khan has been worst really, specially his knockout by Canelo, even Canelo wanted to help him out when he is down on the canvass. And he even spent more time in the canvass that the entirety of the fight, lol.

Yeah, Kell Brook is still a good puncher, maybe the power is not there or perhaps the footwork is slower, but he can definitely win against the glass chin of Khan. Hit the body first and then target his chin later for a knock out.

I'm also surprised that Khan is the favorite here but I'm sure that despite his weakness people were able to notice his aggressiveness on the ring too. Khan has a tough fight with Canelo so I guess it will be another tough match for him again. Kell Brook has been really consistent and he's too experienced so it will be a challenging fight for Khan.

Khan is got the upper hand, there is little doubt about that. Motivation seems stronger and the character of the guy does a lot for the winning, however even boxing may look like a stone-age punch exchange and that is just not true. This is about keeping your strategy and your plan under extreme circumstances. As it has been said, everyone has a plan until they get a jab on the face. I think Khan is just better at it.

Not really sure where you get your odds, but checking sportsbet,

Khan - 2.35
Brook - 1.53

So clearly Brook is the favorite in this fight. And we all know that Khan is way past his prime already and has been knockout because of his glass chin.

And there is no amount of strategy or practice that will prepare you if you're chin is as weak as Amir. Because once Kell hit that chin, Khan will have a problem because Brook can still pull the trigger even at his age.

I double checked the odds as well and it seems like OP has interchanged the names and it should be Brook who should be the favorite.

I guess the odds explain how weak his chin is. Making Khan the underdog in this fight makes me think of backing him, I guess I have previously stated that I'll bet on Brooks but 2.35 odds is better than 1.53, and since both of them had past their prime, the underdog could upset the favorite here.

Based from the poll in this thread, which it has only 2 voters ;D, it is 1:1. And I voted for Khan because he may pull an upset here. If he will retire after this, he may want to end his boxing career on a positive note. So if you want to take a risk, the odds for Khan is nice here. Remember, we have been watching a lot of upsets in boxing. So I am hoping Khan can still pull this one off.

Unfortunately this is the way it works, it does not matter how fast and strong a fighter could be, if they do not have the chin to endure heavy punches then their chances of becoming great in the sport drops dramatically, and even if Khan was a good fighter back in the day he was exposed and people realized he could not endure punches really well, and since then his career took a very different direction, and when we add age to this it is not really a surprise to see why Brook is the favorite.

Khan knows his weakness, so he has to protect that chin in the entire fight if the fight will go to 12 rounds. Of course, Khan also has the power to KO Brook, so he has to look for an opening and hurt him first before he gets knockout cold because of his weak chin. I guess the odds are justifiable, Kell Brook is the favorite, it should not be a big deal.

The match will be interesting to watch and entertaining as well because both of them have some skills and finally after long wait the match is finally happening in their late age.But i won't underestimate any of them as they have some different set of skills like speed of khan and moves of brook will be nice combination to look upon.But will see what happens and bet will be placed after considering some factors.

Bettors are reluctant to bet on Khan because the way he losses speak on how weak a boxer he really has a very weak chin, his Canelo knockout is still very vivid in my mind whenever I see Khan, and there's a possibility that it can happen again, Brook is also a hard puncher with a good knock out ratio and the chance of Khan losing the way he losses to Canelo is quite high if you're betting on Khan you'll get nervous everytime he gets hit in the chin  :D

LOL, but it's true, Khan could really be great during his prime, I remember him chasing Floyd that time for big paycheck. Even Manny Pacquiao after he separated with Roach, but it didn't materialized. And so he fought Canelo but again, we all know that his chin is very weak and so when Canelo hit that chin, Khan was knock out.

And if not for his weak chin, I do think that Khan could be a great boxer. His hands is very fast and I would say that he has power too. But he is exposed by his glass chin and that's what makes him just another B level fighter of his generation.

Ring rust does bring some consideration in betting on Khan but I will do a risky play and I will go my way and place a bet on him because I disagree that speed is useless, pretty sure that if someone can dodge and land punches much faster, they are more likely to win the match, plus Brook doesn't seem to be that formidable and I believe that it's a good fight for Khan to get in the ring again.

A boxing fan could easily understand the comeback will be a failure but since both are actaully inactive in boxing. It may just be fun to just put them inside the ring and see who still has it.

They are both experienced boxers maybe it will really be fun. It will be a challenge for Khan to defend his china as it's the easiest to expose for a boxer that has power. Even with a jab can get the chin up for the next combo. Not betting for this fight but will likely root for Kelly if I would.

As I have said previously, this fight is late and could have happen years ago.

But they want to have it right now so why not? and there is a demand for sure, boxing fans from UK wanted to see this fight that's why their respective promotions and they themselves as domestic rivals wanted to see what will be the outcome of the fight even if they are old and way past their primes. So it will be fun specially after the fight, for sure it will be talk about in UK.

Boxing fans may eventually face kel brook now matchroom boxing promoter hern has sparked speculation, claiming that preliminary talks are underway between the broadcaster and their representatives. Hern said about a possible fight between khan and brooke behind the gloves I think you get it yes I think some broadcasters are looking at it. There is still a big fight which was not once, there is certainly discussion both fighters are former world champions.

Well there are a lot of exhibitions match lately which some of the results being rigged or something.

At least this is a true boxing match and there could be bloodbath between the two as they are rivals in UK for a long time. And they can settle the score now, even if it takes years for this fight to happen. And I agree that it will be talk about for years after the fight because this two boxers are well loved by the UK fans.

They should have fought in their prime but this is still a good fight in the making and we hope it will live on its hype, thrash talking is good for both fighters to build up the fight and for the curiosity of the fans, this is not a championship fight but it looks like it is because of the support of the local boxing community.

They are indeed entertaining to watch because once again they will prove to the world that they can still box and they still have the certain skills that made them champions once in their pro careers. I think its the best for them to make this fight as if their last because of the match potential for them to be known and will make some influence to other activities in the boxing industry. Khan is already famous but this fight will give him chance to further expand his popularity to the public.

The fans have waited too long, and Khan has also waited too long to fight and for the Later match, Khan is very much ready to face Kell Brook to show the world that he is the best.
It will be a very interesting fight as both have ambitions to win but it is a shame because this will be Khan's last fight which will be the end of his illustrious journey and career.

Both fighters have that ambitions to bring their name back at hype and bringing this fight into reality will give them the chance to prove that they still have that skills to entertain and delight their respective fans, they are both former title holders and seeing them back inside the ring will bring fans interest to support and watch them.

There are fans who wanted to see them inside the ring, though both are absence from certain period, but I still expect them to perform the way they have been known to this sport. ::) ;)

They have been inactive for more than a year, Kell Brook's last fight was last    2020-11-14, while Amir Khan last fight was 2019-07-12. Let's see if they can bring some entertainment that would get the fans satisfied, if they can deliver that, then for sure the winner of this fight can expect a great fighter afterward.

This is surely a grudge match both fighters really wanted this fight and I can say they each got what they want well I think this could be an interesting fight, both I think have a number of Knockout wins that surely have power with their shots, both at their 35th so this is an equal fighter but I think the urge in who wants to win more will be shown with this fight even though Kell Brook has more fights than Amir Khan, with 42 fights and Khan with 39 fights, I think more than 3 fights is not the issue here, but the determination on winning, I really think that Amir Khan has a lot of Motivation to win this fight, in saving his marriage, and to be an inspiration for his mum to beat cancer, but saying this could not be his last fight yet, because he fears life after his boxing career, Amir Khan isn't just ready to part ways wth his boxing, I think that is how eager he is and really likes boxing so much I think he has the drive in winning against Kell Brook, so I think I would go with Amir Khan.

Good luck mate, either of the fighters are good, the odds says Kell Brook is the favorite, but it doesn't matter, what matters is what we think who would win the fight and if we believe on Amir Khan, we should gladly put our bets on him. Amir Khan and Kell Brook are both a decent fighter, it's just that they failed to hold on the belt to remain a champion, so let's support them as they will certainly entertain us.

Oh yes, if they provide entertaining fight, expect to have another money fight to whoever wins this fight. Though it's still depends on the outcome of this fight and we will wait to see if both former champs still have their fighting abilities to shine, for now, all will be judged when these two meet inside the ring and start throwing punches.

I do hope to see a toe to toe exchanges of punches to add up with the entertaining part of this sport, for sure fans will love to see that. ::) ;)

Khan is my favourite mam, I would like him to win but the both fighters are though men and it will be very hard for me to predict who the winner will be. The two fighters have good fighting experience, I think this fight will be so entertaining.

This game will determine who among them is the superstar. They were not really in good relationship and considers themselves enemies. Brook even says it's a battle of grudge so it will be pretty sure a good and entertaining match as the two will aim to get the title and for them to prove to themselves who is better in boxing. It's been a long wait for their fans to finally see who will win between them.

I have almost the same idea as you, I often watch lightweight and world class boxing, the first thing I noticed was the movements and behavior of opponents A and B, during their interviews and meetings.

If i made a bet for them i would have judged their behavior, mostly what i guess worked, the match between Amir Khan vs. Kell Brook, In my opinion this is an unhealthy boxing match, they have a bad background that leads to revenge.

If Amir Khan faces Brook professionally and according to the boxing rules that apply Amir will determine his good career this time, If both of them are in the ring with the same emotions, this match will end in disaster for both of them, greater bloodshed will occur, meaning that boxing is not healthy on the basis of revenge.

I hope Amir can face Brook coldly and professionally without looking at Brook's current words.

Even if we like to see a toe to toe fighting I don't think Khan is willing to engage Brook has a powerful right straight, Khan's advantage is his speed, the only way can win against Brook is to do hit and run just like he did against powerful puncher but this time he needs good stamina so he can run in the whole fight once he goes toe to toe Brook will work on his uppercuts, Brooks has done a lot of damage with his uppercuts on his past fights.

And ever since Amir Khan is already exposed that he has a weak chin, I don't he is that confident anymore to fight toe to toe exchanging blows. It is probably also advised from his team to avoid trading powerful blows with Kell Brook. Kell Brook has strong punches that could knock Khan out unconscious.

Of course I don't believe that Khan will just run and run the entire fight like Mayweather but I also don't think he will brawl as if he's got a chin of steel. He will probably just maintain a safe distance with his jabs.

He has to change his style, he cannot go toe to toe already knowing he has a weak chin. I think he has to improve a bit and be quicker so he can score and avoid getting KO by his opponent, I know he has some good talent in boxing, he can use that but like I said, he has to avoid to fight toe to toe, he has to be smart all the time, never use his emotion, instead, always stick to the game plan.

I'm thinking that other way around though. I think with this fight, a lot is at stake and I don't see Khan running away, but instead will go toe to toe and prove that he can still fight and beat his rival in Kell Brook.

So there will be times in the fight that he will brawl and then maybe can get successes. But Kell Brook has a good chin and again, if he touch Khan during that brawl, maybe Khan will go down or at least barely standing, just like in the Maidana fight

Well, I just got the feeling to go with Amir Khan but yeah Kell Brook is an outstanding fighter and pretty much have the most experience, but the number of fights would surely not determine if the fighter would surely win, I could say that each fighter has their quality and both fighters could or may win against each other, but in my opinion, I could see there determination would make a great deal in defeating the other I think that Amir Khan is more determine in winning against Kell Brook, that is how I see it, and certainly, whatever the result this could be an entertaining fight I just wish this would not turn as negative as the grudge they have for each other.


I guess both fighters would surely face each other professionally even though they have a grudge for each other I think their professionalism with boxing will surely show when the fight comes, I still think that they still have great respect for each other and well maybe that stunt is just for the hype we may never know the real reason, but some fighters would exaggerate their engagement with one another surely to gain more Pay per view, or people would get interested, well if that grudge would be real it could surely get messy, but I would hope it is just for the hype.

Yeah, he needed to work it out after being exposed, but to offer an entertaining fight both fighters needs to excel and try their best to adjust, if they are aiming to take their shots for another possible title fight, these two fighters should give everything to hype up and bring more interest, their absence might affects their skills but they still got enough time to prepare.

If possible, an entertaining and not a boring fight to come between these two former champs.. ;) :P

By this time, the camp of Amir Khan must have already known very well their fighter. They must have already known the strengths and weaknesses of their fighter who has been climbing the boxing ring for years. So they should know how their fighter should approach an opponent like Kell Brook.

In terms of improvement and becoming quicker, Khan has already reached a stage where instead of improving he is already performing according to his age.

For sure this is going to be entertaining, and there could be a lot of trash talk and fanfare in the media, specially during their face off because this two has something to settle as far as fan based is concern in the UK.

This is fall short of an exhibition match, but at least they are really going to fight and punch each other out. But still Kell Brook is more solid as this point that Amir Khan.

Unfortunately this is the way things are, in the sport of boxing almost all abilities that you need to become a good boxer can be improved with training, except for one, and that is your chin, after all boxers can even train themselves to be able to endure some really heavy punishment to their bodies but there is no way to train how you can take a hit to the chin, so you either have a strong chin or you do not, and unfortunately for Khan he does not, which is something that has limited the prospects of his career.

After he's been expose, it's really a tough one for him, more on focusing with how he can avoid being hit in his chin, that kind of adjustment is really in need of hard workout, there's no way for him to improve that critical area only his reflex who can be the help for him now, it's a tough challenge since it's been long since he fought and he's going to face another former champ who have that knocking power to beat him in anyhow.

The preparation would be both serious for these two returning former champs.

Also, for the fans, it would be an interesting pick to bet :P ::)

brook is the favourite of bookies here. but don't know if they will resort to trash talk just to get the attention of the boxing fans. and for sure, brook already knows the weak spot of amir khan. is he going to take that opportunity inside the ring? khan should be a fast thinker on how to protect himself. otherwise, we may see a short battle in the arena. both are already 35 yrs old so this may be one of their last fights before they finally retire.

Yes, in reality what they are looking for is that there be a show, because if they take great care of themselves, people are going to demand action, it is also boxing, to protect the chin it is very difficult, because it is always exposed so that it is at least touched, if we start to see any part that a boxer takes care of, the other will look for weakness because from there the blows will come, boxing is usually a sport that handles a lot of strategy, even though it seems that not . I think that in this case it should be strengthened much more, because it is inevitable that the blows sweep towards that vulnerability, in boxing things are usually like that. The other option is that he uses a strategy like the one Myewather used with Pacquiao, in which what he did was practically run in every round.

At least as far as the votes goes, there's 3 here who voted for Amir Khan to win. He will be at a disadvantage but maybe those who think that he will win is basing on the fact that Khan will still have that fast hands that can offset the Brook when is is coming forward. And when that hits, maybe Brook will have to think twice and Khan can win by knockout or by decision.

Unless the 3 has other reasons,  ;D

He can do that but Brook is also an aggressive fighter once he got cornered it will be hard for him to prevent those solid punches to land in his critical areas, he needs to prepare and look for more options that exposed on his cheeks really affects his career, opponents will focus to how they can penetrate and a possible KO may take place.

It's a good chance to see both fighters to adjust and to seek for another chance to have a good money fight.. ::) 8)

Actually 4 now, Kell Brook is still leading the poll with 6 votes or 60% of the total voters favored him to win. Actually it's not hard to pick from these two, we have our own reason and though Kell Brook is the favorite, but he is not undefeated which means anything could happen as Khan is also capable of winning by KO.

Such an interesting fight, Brook is the favorite but Khan I think is way more powerful and have a higher chance for a KO win, almost 2 weeks left and they’ll face each other have some bet now and win some money. They both have good records, and a strength I guess this will be a hard match for these two.

Kell Brook has a higher KO ratio, it's on record, check OP.

Brook has 69% Ko ratio, while Khan has only 61% KO ratio.
Both are good boxers anyway, so we cannot guarantee that the one with a higher KO ratio will automatically win, it's how they'll use their strategy to win.

While a high KO ratio can be indicative of a huge punching power, as it is the case of Wilder for example, at the same time things could be explained away if one of the fighters faced easier rivals early on their career and they accumulated a lot of knockouts against weak opponents, all in all I think that Khan has a chance but it is not going to be easy at all to beat Brook, since he will have to land punches while at the same time he will need to take care of avoiding any dangerous punch to the face.

Looking at this fight I feel that this is a two star fight because indeed both boxers at this time may be at the end of their boxing career and indeed their heyday can be said to be over now.
But on the other hand it will be interesting because indeed I feel Brook is more motivated now and he has boldly said he has no intention of losing this fight and if he loses then he will retire from boxing.
I feel that these two boxers have known each other from their weaknesses and strengths and I quite agree with what you said that indeed brook's punches will be much stronger and indeed it will be difficult because his weakness is in the chin area and this will definitely be targeted by brook.
I personally still can't predict who will win here because indeed Khan's speed is enough to be used as a weapon by him because his speed is quite good.

Prime for prime I would say that Khan has a slim advantage as far as power goes. However, Brook has some as well and is willing to trade. But since this is a retirement fight for both, I don't see Khan power no more. He can get to Brook but Brook has more chin than him. It's the question on what will happen to Khan if Brook will hit him flush in the face, chances are, he might go down.

After that exposed Khan needs to work more with his good defense, Brook's will try to penetrate and knock him down by hitting his chin. It's a must find a way to avoid and to make sure to throw good counter to avoid that knock out punches to hit him. I would like to see aggressiveness from Brook, though. If he will start strong and try to corner Khan, still anyone's fight here we don't know if what would happen till we seen them both inside the ring.. :P ::)

If he will do that all night, then most likely his strategy is just to survive. How can he score if he will just always cover? He isn't quick enough IMO, and how can he hurt Kell Brook, he needs to gamble becasue in the first place, his goal is to win, he just hope he will not be hit in his weakness.

Khan can still win a fight, and Kell Brook is not anymore on his prime, so it's not a tough opponent for him although he is the underdog. As we can see on his record - https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/314558.. .after a lose against Crawford, he bounce back and win against Billy Dib via TKO, so we can't only focus on his weakness.

you can see the highlight of his last fight.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-HjVnW9zTI

Yeah, but he can't cover it all night because he needs to throw some punch and that's what his opponent usually does, timing his move and then they deliver a blow to his chin. And most of the time Khan really try to go and fight toe to toe and that's why he is caught most often, just like in his fight lost and his devastating knock out against Canelo Alvarez. Also against Marcos Maidana (watch that fight in youtube), but he survived that fight and won in the score card.

That's right, so he will not really cover his chin just to survive, though I think he fought an unknown fighter on his last win he has a knockout power which is very important as he is fighting a better opponent although he also falls against Crawford. I guess the most important now is on how they prepare for this fight, this will be happening in less than 2 weeks, so I expect them to be fully ready to give the fans a good and an entertaining fight.

It's very clear that brook will be after this because this is indeed one of Khan's weaknesses which has become an open secret and indeed he now has to be extra in training it at least train his defense so he can't be attacked at this vital point.
But maybe here the khan will do as usual, which is relying on speed with hit and run and continue to keep his distance from brook.

They really should while the weigh-in is approaching. It's hard if one of them will struggle to reach the required weight.
 
Just to give others an idea, a boxer just only asked to work around for 4-5 hours to burn or increase the weight if ever they failed to meet it on the weigh-in day. Imagine doing that work to target a weight limit within 4-5 hours then the other day, it's the official date of the fight. It will take a heavy adjustment on their strength that's why they need to follow strictly their health rules a few days until the weigh-in.

Very possible that his training camp work on this strategy, luring Brook to keep on targeting his known soft chin once he got Brooks attentions he can counter a heavy solid punch to take Brook down, it's really exciting to see if how both fighters will bring their trained strategy to see if that will work and if that will give them the win.

Let's wait and witness if how both former champions will try to win this fight and bring noise to their boxing careers

before they decided to walk down and permanently retire.

Surely that was being organized and planned. Not just that but every possible strategy that both fighters can use.

Aside from thinking about each other's disadvantages, they are surely both working on their respective "unexpected" strategy so both fighters might be surprised that something not in the tape can't be seen.

On the day of the fight, that's the only time we can see if their formed strategy is effective or not.

Khan won't be popular for nothing in the history of the  boxing world. Prime for prime, I also think he has the advantage.

But moving forward today, since already past his prime. We can't expect the thing he always do before.

Don't have an idea here who has the edge but expecting a good close fight.

Back in his prime, he was regarded as Manny Pacman of EU while he is also a sparring partner of the real Pacman of Asia. We'd highly doubt that today but during that time he is really good much as being hyped by promoters. But growing old is the worse challenge for an athlete that even the real Pacman had not escaped.

They both are not in their prime already and have long inactivity, particularly Khan. One wouldn't expect him to fight again and so it Brook. Does sound like an exhibition fight actaully.

Yes, I remember those days when both him and the Pacman are training side by side in the Wild Card gym. Those were his prime years, hands very fast with both power. There were even some news saying that they started to train his next so that so somewhat strengthen his weak chin. But we all know that you can't train to have a good chin, it's either you have it or not. Unfortunately, for Khan it is his biggest weakness as a boxer.

Given the recent state of the pandemic situation, it's possible to happen since the new variant of covid-19 which is omicron is faster when it comes to spreading and it has new characteristics compared to past variants. In addition, the vaccines made were not really intended for it therefore it is still uncertain if it's 100% effective against it as well. Although I really do hope that none of them would be tested positive because their fight is really near and it's now a week and 3 days more to their supposed fight. This fight can really push through if there would be no mishaps that would happen. But I really believe it would push through and we'll see an exciting fight among the two.

No one has yet reported that they are positive. And I think both of them love big crowds and for sure this fight will be stage with fans watching live in the O2 and then PPV.

And if one if positive for the virus then obviously, this fight will be postponed.


Goodluck if you are going to bet on Khan to win by decision in this fight. Majority though thinks otherwise.

Unfortunately for Khan he will need a Mayweather level of defense if he wanted to still be a top fighter with that weak chin, and so late in his career it is unlikely that he is going to change the way he fights in order to cover for that deficiency, so I think that Brooks is the favorite and that he has a good change of winning this fight by a KO, as I think it is going to be very difficult for Khan to avoid being hit at the chin during the whole fight.

He's a pretty good boxer but with his weaknesses exposed now he can't help but have to move to minimize this if he really wants to be victorious in this fight.
On the other hand Brook would have been aiming for this from the start of the round and I'm sure of that because with the quality of his punch, I think if he really aimed at the khan's chin he would have won by knockout if he hit hard.

A Mayweather kind of defense and a Pacman type of speed to penetrate and hit Brook in his attempt to knock Khan down,  ::) ;) It's a tough fight for Khan as he needs to be more careful protecting his chin and planning his attempt to counter Brook
s attacks.

But, they are both Pro and a former title holders, changes in fighting style are not new to them, if a call to adjust is needed there's no other option but to do it.

Hopefully, both fighters will give fans an entertaining toe to toe fight as the chance of a loser will retire after this fight.

For this matchup, I will favor brook and bet him as a winning bet cause I know he can win even if it's knocked out or by a unanimous decision anyways we all know that khan has a title too and I think that he will not be lazy to practice harder to sustain his stamina to last round and I think he can do that cause he is a great boxer too. And being a titleholder is not just easy so I think that he deserves what they got but in this case, his opponent had a title too so it's getting hard and intense.

what happens is that khan is quite a good fighter but with a very notable vulnerability having such a weak chin it is obvious that most of the blows will go there for me that will be brook's inflatable strategy however when evaluating all the statistics that I have seen on different pages, in sports forums, in some enthusiasts, favoring Brook, although there is nothing written, do I think that the element of surprise is also possible in this fight? Or perhaps it is unreasonable to think that Khan has training at another level and can deliver a result that not everyone expects.

Always expect a surprise, that's where boxing is more entertaining because of such a thing. Khan has been a champion, same with Brook, so we can say that both have the skills to shock the world with a great win, a possible KO is what I'm expecting to see in the fight night, not sure who will make it happen.

What makes this exciting is they are two of British favorite boxers when they are still in the prime of their career, both fighters have legions of fans on that country, it's not years that they are still in the prime of their career so we can still expect the same skills that we've seen in their prime, they are not in a long retirement they are on semi-retire and this fight an push their boxing career again.

That's more interesting, how Khan adjusts and bring surprise to his fans. Even his weakness has been exposed to how he will manage to protect that part and continue to fight back with another set of strategy. Both fighters are good from their prime and yes, the chance to win is still owned by both of them. The hunger to reclaim some good hype to their name is the one who will shine in this fight. The winner will have another chance to move up and ask for a good money fight. ::) ;)

If he will find a strategy to protect his exposed weakness, that is for us to see in this fight.
Because he very well know that boxing fans, opponents knew this weakness.
We can't be too confident because Khan was also a titleholder before, so we can't disregard his boxing skills.
Maybe good to bet on him, as he may be aiming for the last hurrah in the boxing ring.

We should always expect the unexpected for this fight, Khan is very determined to win the fight so we might get surprised on what he may do and I think the problem with his chin he sure knows about it and may anticipate that his opponent will surely be targeting that part, I know there are boxers that are sure pretty aware of what is their weakness and priorly would make a counter about it, But even though I would like Amir Khan to win this, I can not take out the fact that Kell Brook has that level of intimidation and can surely have the strength to deliver a blow that could KO Khan.


I would say we will sure be surprised with the result once the fight has started, but a possible result of a decision is still possible both surely have the punching power to knock-out opponent but there are times that should consider survivability in those punches they receive even though Amir Khan has a weak chin that could be exposed by Kell Brook there might have a surprise factor on Amir Khan's side just like we are discussing, we should look for possibilities.


both are still on their 35th we can say they are still in the mid-way of their prime, or still, on their prime, Manny Pacquiao is now 43, but in his 35th of age he still has the strength he needs to make his opponent knockout, Nonito Donaire is 39 but can withstand a punch and KO win a younger boxer than him, I guess it will sure vary on the situation and the kind of boxer they are, but I think they still in the peak of their career and it was not retirement but only just a long break. 

Of the two Brook has a long layoff or inactivity and both fighters lose to Crawford in their last fight, but Brook took a lot of beating on his way to a TKO loss to Crawford, Khan has a good chance because he is the more fresh fighter having fought just 4 months ago but his weaknesses are so obvious and any good boxer can capitalize on that weakness, let's see if Brook can capitalize on that.

If khan discovers some good strategy and trains harder than before and then for sure he has a chance to aim for this victory. And if it is happening to this fight it is very surprising and interesting to watch. We all know that they are both good and professional boxer/fighters but one fighter should be the winner in this fight and all this doubt will be revealed in the final day or a fight day.

Nah, I don't think you can teach a old dog a new trick, if he is hit in the mouth, for sure he will go back to what he used to be, try to be man and fight toe to toe that will cause him to get knock out. So I'm not sure what kind of strategy or training he needs here, he has been failed by his glass chin and that will be his downfall again in this fight.

And I still believed that there are still a lot of fans inside UK that wanted to see this fight to happen even if both fighters are no longer in this primes.

The odds might be close though during their prime and I think Amir Khan could have been the favorite. But now it's a complete shift, Brook is the favorite to win, but nevertheless still one of the best fight for British boxing fans.

That's for sure, otherwise, this fight will not happen as no promoter will waste their money to spend for the promotion. These two are exciting fighters, it's just that they are not the best in their division and they got expose on their weakness later in their career, but overall it should be an interesting fight.

This two still has a huge following in the UK, and it make sense to make this fight as it will bring money for them and for the promoters.

Yes, they are domestic rivals and that's what interest their fans around the globe. And even if they fight during their primes, it will be very difficult to choose between the two. I'm curious as how the fans are going to be in the arena, could be one of the biggest and there could be taunting in both sides, hehehe.

The fans would be glad to see great fighters entertaining them, it's just an ordinary day for them as this is not a championship fight, I'm not sure if it will sell out but for sure this will be a profitable fight. This is a main event, right? so expect that it's going to be a good fight.

That's right they are still very popular fighters and the show will be very interesting for me too. Now I think that its 50-50 game and who makes the first and bigger mistake he will lose. Especially, I would take into the consideration khan's habit of losing concentration  and Kell's defects in discipline.

Based on the betting odds, it's not 50-50, but it's Kell Brook who is the favorite to win.

Wait, are you gonna put your bet on this fight? you should check the   betting odds.

Best of luck mate, hopefully, you'll choose the winner.

Most boxers will surely capitalize on their opponent's weaknesses, and can sometimes use their weakness to their advantage well it is up to a boxer in how he can use that, and even though Brooks has a long layoff that Khan many sure consider him has the strength to KO Amir Khan, which is very one-sided thinking, in my opinion, the thing that I like most on these two fighters they are not really the same to be compared.


All boxers sure know that the things they need to do in order to win a fight, Kell Brook will show power and determination through the fight, but I think that Amir Khan will show perseverance and skill throughout the fight, I know let's just wait for the fight the match will surely start with a blast.

Yep, Brook is now more superior because it is possible that one of Khan's weaknesses has been exposed and of course the bookies will start to doubt this.
On the other hand, Brook's hand reach is also quite good and this can anticipate the movement of Khan, who always uses the Hit and Run strategy in order to keep his distance and use his speed to provide Shock Therapy to the opponent.
I personally have no doubts about Brook even though there are many people who underestimate him too much

We never know until we witness how they will come up when they both inside the ring, both fighters are once being praise because of their talents and skills but likewise only one will be declared as winner unless in some circumstances a draw needs to be decided.

Though according to the bookies that being shared above Brook is the favorite and for Khan's fans the odd for their champ is very enticing, who knows he might surprise us and win this fight.. ;) ::)

The problem is that he cannot really train to get rid of his weak chin and it is also impossible to protect his chin during all the fight, so sooner or later he will be connected there and the chances of going down are significant, its is not like when Muhammad Ali got back from his suspension and he was not as fast as he was before but still found a way around that by simply being able to absorb more damage than before, and unfortunately for Khan he does not have that option.

yes you are right that mate our doubt is answer in the final day of the fight but these are the challenge both of them during that day and sure one fighter will step up and claim the victory but khans will train hard for this fight and sure he will give us a clean and good fight. Cause I do believe that every fighter has a chance to win the fight if they have a good performances.

Thanks for the providing odds, but for me these odds is nothing in boxing. I don't know maybe brook is better who knows, anyway I will do more analysis based on users' posts and then I hope choose the winner  ;)

^ Yes, odds are just a guide for us bettors, but if you don't bet then definitely this odds is nothing because you are going to go with your favorite boxer.

But for boxing fans who knows the history between this two, Amir Khan is more exposed because he has a weak chin. And that is why Kell Brook has been favored by sport bookies in this fight.

Most of the time our favorite fighter is also the favorite in the betting odds, so there's no difference. Odds is for bettors and if you are just purely enjoying the game without betting, you don't need to worry about the odds, but of course, for gamblers, betting what watching, that is the best type of entertainment we are expecting.

I'm sure Brook will target Khan's chin, and Khan will up his defense to avoid getting hit in the chin, Brook will go for a knockout and Khan will try to score more points Khan's chances are good because he is still fresh since he fought just last November while Brook has a long lay off but this long lay off is nothing if Brook has a good team to get him back in shape, let's see what will happen tomorrow.

Odds are just an illustration of how the bookies choose and this is a reference for us that this is indeed a bet and the winner is clear.
And I personally always look at that reference and indeed sometimes even though the fight in the ring is not determined by odds, but with this it actually provides a greater opportunity for bettors.
I personally always follow this but indeed with a note that the bookies choose according to what I think.

You nailed it, betting adds some enjoyment while watching the fight, bookies is giving some hint but knowing how boxing industry was, upset is not new to this venue of sport. There are many cases where favorite are being knocked down by the underdog, if you are one of Khan fans and you want to spice something while watching the fight.

Betting for him gives you more if, in case he beat Brook, you place your bet as early as now or you can actually bet in during the
fight.

What are @bisdak and @boafeng’s predictions for this? In recent years Kell Brook’s losses were only to kings of welterweight and also to the king of middleweight of 2016. Similarly Amir Khan also only lost to Terence Crawford and the present middleweight king Canelo Alvarez in recent years. They are also of similar age, 35 years old, only 1 inch advantage for Brook in height and 2 inches of advantage in reach for Khan.

Also, their losses in recent years were also knockouts. Will this fight end before round 10? This might be under 9.5 rounds, I reckon.

Without a doubt, a knockout would be something great by anyone, really if a boxer of this level manages to do such a feat I think he would be crowned the best, although I see a possible knockout as very difficult, because both boxers will take care of each other of this type of event, for the one who does it it will be a great victory but for the loser it will be almost like the end of his career, this fight is highly anticipated and I think that the bets are in a clear sense somewhat divided, both are champions, but to be honest right now I am very insecure about who to bet on, it is an indecision that I would not know what aspects to take from each boxer to decide.

Without a doubt Brook will target the chin of Khan, if he did not do that then he will be doing a disservice at himself by not trying to win the fight by any means possible, and obviously Khan knows that this is coming so he will take measures to counter that strategy, so who will be successful? Personally I think that even if Khan is a good fighter sooner or later Brook will connect a series of solid hits on him and that is when he will go down.

Brook will try harder to convert that punch into Khan's chin, it's a good key to knock Khan down and taking that as an advantage will give Brook a better Chance of winning and earned another money fight, though we don't know if how Khan will try to avoid this attack but for sure he and his camp are well aware of that strategy.

Bookies give brook the favorite here, Khan fans who will take his side will have bigger profits in case he wins this fight. :P ::)

And just imagine how Khan fans will react if he actually wins the fight, because again this two has been going it out for years as rivals. Or let's put in the other way around, Brook knocking out Khan, it will be huge news in UK sports and we will see how Khan will respond after the fight. So there are a lot of hype for this fight for sure and crpyto sport bookies could definitely make a good profit out of this fight.

 I guess,this will gonna be an exciting fight! Amir Khan and Kell Brook are both good fighters and im sure its going to be a competitive fight for both of them.Brook is looking strong and confident. And obviously he is planning to take the fight against Khan. Although Khan has a weaker chin but he has a strong and speedy hands which Brook dont have. And maybe he has also a high chance to win against Brook. But anyway whoever wins the fight, goodluck for the both warriors. May the best man win..

I'm expecting the same,  both are veteran and they have nothing to lose because they are not anymore on their prime. All they have to do here is to give the fans the best entertainment and they'll certainly make a lot of money, and the winner will surely get good contract in the future.

This fight will be 3 days from now, have anyone put their bets already?

I'm guessing, this would not be a boring fight, and I believe that Amir Khan will not play safe and willing to risk his glass chin to look for a KO. I really like these two warriors, they seem to be fighting for the consolation price only but they are still willing to give the fans entertainment.

I haven't really been in the loop of boxxing fights regarding professional boxxers like Kell Brook so this might be a little bit naive of me to ask, however I still feel the need to ask as I am a bit curious: Why does everyone keep saying that Kell Brook is going for Amir Khan's chin in the fight and if he does not, it would be a waste?

Did Khan have a chin injury or is that just somehow Kell Brook's special move? To go for the opponents chin?

Seems like a typical practice in boxxing anyhow, so is there any need to say anything much about it?

Check Youtube and use the keyword Amir Khan all losses and you'll find out why he is called glass chin most of his losses are coming from punch in the chin, the Canelo fight is very popular because it only took one punch in the chin to knock Khan out and it's a very worrying knock out because he was out in the middle of the air with his head banging in the floor of the ring.

Yeah, he was great until his weakness was exposed. His boxing skills are good but he doesn't have a strong chin so every time he makes a mistake, there's a chance that he will be knocked out, and probably that's the reason why he is the underdog in this fight.

This might well be the last fight of both fighters I hope they finish this fight with both of them in good condition, Amir suffers a lot of bad losses in the past, I hope he will not suffer a knockout here and they retire in good health, both of them have great careers they should enjoy what they worked for their retirement years and that is financially stable.

We can enjoy watching the fight if we will bet according to our belief, if we think the underdog will win, then we should not be afraid in the first place, besides, as long as you know how to gamble within your limit, losing should not be a big deal for you, it's just normal, but when you win, there's always a celebration afterwards.

Final press conference of the fight:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v8qrcdNnNg

Both predicted a knock out victory, Khan says that Brook is obsessed with him and has been a fanboy. And he did train in the US with Team Crawford and will put Brook on his place. Brook simply said that he will go for the knock out. And both predicted that this is going to be a war.

With about to happen in this match, we may indeed see a toe-to-toe fight if both sides are well-prepared.
This is good for the boxing fans, at least, our time will not be wasted to watch their fight.
We may possibly see an upset if Khan is very confident with himself about his training.
But Brook is still the favorite of bookies here. Upset can always happen anyway.

I'm sure they will land power punches against each other since they are both skilled boxers but who has the tougher chin though? We already know from his past boxing matches that that is Khan's real weakness so I am siding with the bookies and going for Brooks.

Yeah, with too much animosity between the two way back, (Brook telling story about their amateur days), for sure this is going to be a explosive fight, and we will see moments wherein they are going to fight toe to toe, and you really can't imagine how the loser will take this fight because there is too much in the line although this two boxers are way past their primes already.

Well Brook already knows Khan's weakness and Khan already know that he cannot just go toe to toe or fully engage against he can do hit and run just like what he did against Canelo, Brook is not really as strong as Canelo he just has to box him he is a better technical fighter although underdog if he can play his strategy right he'll have a good chance of winning, For Brook if he can connect his power punches to Khan's weak spot, the fight will go to his favor.

But you know, when Khan is hit on the face, he forgot that he has a china chin and will engage. That's what happen to his many fights, when he is ahead on scorecard or at least have control of the fight. Suddenly when he felt the power of his opponent, he will go toe to toe as if he needs to prove something. Very manly but it could prove wrong for him against Brook. So that is what we are going to wait in this fight. Brook touching Khan's weak spot and see how Amir will respond.

It should be 100% to expect that both boxers will try to land their strong power punches as they can when they meet. It's not always about the chin but a good and heavy body blow can destroy a boxer's defense. If one of them can land a fatal blow, that would break the boxer's defense and will allow their next set of punches to land without a problem on their opponent.

But don't get overhype. These 2 boxers don't have the same boxing power level as before. The fight will end at Decision.

Can't wait for the fight tomorrow along with Ancajas this is really a close fight since those two are capable of knocking out each other. Khan is still fast and can deliver a deadly blow to his opponent's weak spot before he gets those hits that will knock him out. I have a feeling that this fight won't last long since those two are power punchers. either way, I'm happy to see Khan back for a boxing fight wchich he really likes and hope the fight ends really well.

Really? Well that does sound like something he should have learned / trained to guard for, by now. If he keeps losing because of his supposed "glas chin", then it only makes sense to build up some kind of future defense against it during his next opponents fights.

But I am guessing his opponents love that weakness very much, it must be something like a "press here to win instantly" button. The Canelo fight does seem quite interesting, excuse me while I go and take a look :D

He's well aware of that since most of his losses is because of his glass chin.
If he wants to toughen his weakness, he should've done it a long time, but he chooses to train on his speed and agility forgetting his weakness. One open spot and his whole chin is an automatic knock down spot.
If his opponent is smart, he'll probably will take an opportunity to knock him down by countering all his offensively strike finding an opening on his chin.

That's a no-brainer, his opponent will always target his weakness but if he start it well and he can hurt his opponent, then we can expect that he will win. Kell Brook is also a tough opponent but also has some weakness as recently he is already losing on some of his fights, so this is really a good match for  Khan although his weakness still exist.

You really can't train your chin, it's either you really have a weak chin that can't take punch or not. Unfortunately, that is Khan's weaknesses.


Of course, they know that Khan doesn't take punch easily, that's why they are willing to give Amir some confidence early, just like what Canelo did when they fought. he just allow Khan to dictate the fight in the early goings and then it just take one punch to finished the fight. And what's ironic is that Khan stay longer in the canvass than the entirety of the fight.

That's a pretty niche factor to decide who's going to win, I am pretty sure that Khan is aware of that and he is probably preparing to do a counter if not defense. Brooks is a good fighter too but I don't have the confidence that he will be the winner in this one although I am still indecisive with Khan too.

But you have to admire Amir Khan's confidence in this fight, Lol, he said that he is going to put hurt on Brook? Yeah, seems to have a history of bad blood between the two, and both are that confident that they can win. As we have been discussing though, that chin is really Amir's weakness and whatever he said in this press con is nothing when they go inside the ring.

It's because we have seen Khan fight before and his first lost was a knockout in the first round.

And then we have seen Canelo blasted him in just one punch because his chin can't hold against powerful puncher. And so Brook has a decent to quality power that once it hit Khan square in the face, there is a big possibility that he will have a lanky legs and will go down from the power. Of course he can hide and play defense but it won't win fights.

Exactly, he cannot win by just hiding, he can follow what Rigo did in his last fight and you see how the judges scored the fight. He is fighting in their home town, he cannot play safe, he need to gain the respect of the fans by bringing an entertaining fight and that means he has to take the risk.

I don't see it will happen, of all the fights of Khan, he is aggressive, so I expect the same Khan who was an exciting fighter to watch before he got KO due to his glass chin. That "glass chin" words seem to be the most written words and I can see where's that coming.

Just don't mind it, soon we will stop talking about that because this fight is going to finally happen 2 days from now. It's Sunday in my timezone and that is my rest day, so I will definitely reserve some time to watch this fight, I'm just hoping I'll be able to watch it through live streaming as our local cable does not provide a free telecast of this fight.

Exactly, the clock is ticking and this fight is going to happen.

Is anyone interested betting on the "DRAW" @24?

Amik Khan by KO @5 ( this one is also attractive).

Amir Khan was fully aware of his weakness and so does Brook over Khan's and that's why he can't just stand in front or head-on and exchange blows with Brook without getting some angle. Khan is already expected to avoid Brook so that he can't connect that much. But knowing Brook, I guess from the beginning he'll try and give Khan some taste if he's willing or not.

But on the other hand I don't think khan will let this happen easily because he must have realized that Brook's strategy would be like that so he will indeed keep his distance a little I think in this match.
In terms of quality Khan I think is a bit superior but in terms of hitting of course Brook has the upper hand.

I'm personally still confused in choosing and maybe just watching this match peacefully without any stakes because I would be more comfortable that way.
It's been a long time seeing their psywar on social media it's time to see their fight as real men in the ring

Hehe juicy odds but nope. It's either Khan by decision or Brook by KO.

Yes it is. I just don't think he can do it with Brook.

I' m not affected by their verbal fights as I only see it as a marketing strategy but I still expect  a finish. Khan will be agressive and will eat one of Brook's power punches.

These two fighters boxing career is over IMO so i considered this coming fight an exhibition game and with the two out for a long time, i think a KO is a slim possibility but i still think that Brook is too much for Amir Khan.

I'll go for Brook via decision with that attractive odds also @4.75.

Here is the official weigh in of the fight, the contractual weight is 149 lbs:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKe9D0zpPwM

They obviously don't like each other as they bark in the face-off. but this is going to happen in about 24 hours.

Best of luck to everyone who are going to bet on this fight.  ;D

Have you all seen the crowd the place is full of boxing fans these two really earned their name in that country, there's a lot of hype and support coming from the boxing community, I'm glad they both made the weight this is a fight two decades in the making I hope I can get a live feed on this fight although not a championship but it generates a lot of interest.

Yes, as expected, fans of both fighters are there to support them. It's not championship fight but you can feel it in the crowd though, lots of shouting, cameras so for sure not just in UK but in other parts of the world, it generates a lot of interest because this two are rivals. And this is a winner take all fight, unless there so much money that the winner will allow a second fight, whoever it is.

Doesn't surprise me since odds on DRAW are always like that. It seems that bookies think that there's no way a DRAW will happen as both boxers are now on their veteran age meaning there's no such thing as equal performance and there will be a clear winner regardless of the method.


There should be lots of shared live feeds on social media like Facebook. Easy to browse on some live links today compare to before that a paid PPV is always necessary. But expect lots of ads on those feeds to support the streamer.

You are right. The fight is almost their last few chances to make money lol.

Their Knock Out power might be faded now and all they will focus on is proper defense. Their stamina is also not the same as before. To be able to have a successful KO, it needs long and strong stamina.

There will be a clear winner here in a Decision mode.

Both of them also never had a draw in their career, that's making more draw is almost impossible to happen and it will be ended either win or lose.

I've search on their social media, Brook doesn't training really hard while Khan are actively training himself...but the thing is Khan doesn't have a though chin, he can only play distance. Since both of them are inactive for 2-3 years from his career, I expect there's no much change between them... probably their performance is going down. And yeah, Brook via decision is a wise choice.

If it's a decision it's going to be Amir in his last fight against Crawford he is still fast, can jab and hit, and can run the whole fight and it's only a few months so he still fresh, but if it's a knock, Brook has a good chance if he can connect precisely on Amir's weakest spot which is the chin, we'll see who can play his strategy well

Though the chances is high, that it may end up in decision mode but for other fans who loves seeing this two former champ to perform may change the directions of this fight, cheers from the outside of the ring may trigger both parties to be more aggressive, hopefully though, ::) but in terms of making money if the winner is interested to have another good offer it's needed to delight the fans 8)

The fact that they are given a chance to fight, I'm expecting that the winner will get a bigger fight, maybe not a championship fight but if they show an entertaining fight, then for sure their promoter will work on the next fight as they are assure that they can sell the fight, probably even better than this fight.

This fight will be aired tomorrow, is there a pay-per-view of this fight? Or can we expect free live streaming?

I'm sure I cannot avail the PPV if there's one because it's sure not available in our country, so the best chance for me to watch this fight is if there's a free live streaming, I don't mind of it's not so clear as long as I can see this fight live.

Yes, if they will show an entertaining fight, promoters might give the winner another money fight, both former champs are nearly to retiring age but quite fit for another fight if given a chance, plus the fact that it's easier now to hype and promote a fight, the winner will gain another shot to gain back the interest of the fans.

Looking forward to see an entertaining fight between the two,

Hope they won't be more on protecting to avoid damages but instead a possible toe to toe exchanging punches.. 8) ;D

It's indeed time who will fight wisely tomorrow, is it going to be Khan or Brook? Pretty sure that this would be a tough fight and like you mate, I'm also looking for some links or directions on where to watch this fight live. A friend of mine told me that if this fight won't be available on ESPN then our only chance is Facebook and YouTube as there would be some pages or channels that would be offering the public to see a live stream on this match.

This is something that many boxers do not understand, boxing at the end of the day is another form of entertainment, if they show a boring fight then people are not going to watch them again, however even if these two fighters are not at the top of their game, if they can show an entertaining fight people will like to see them fighting again, so I hope this fight is an entertaining one as some of the last fights that I have watched turned out to be incredibly boring.

Basing their last fights, we can expect that the fight will not be boring, they understand the business because they are not new, so we should not worry about that and just enjoy the game. It's Sunday and it's a good time to enjoy watching a boxing fight with friends and family, also a bet would make it better to add some thrill while watching the fight.

we will see if they still have something to offer to the boxing fans. if they can perform well inside the ring, why not more fights, right? promoters can see if their boxer can still entice audience. that's one of the factors how promoters will pay you in a fight. as long as they can juice you out from your fights, they will.
i have the feeling that this fight is also the determining factor if amir khan will finally hang his gloves or not.

If Amir Khan is totally dominated or knocked out he has no way but out, but we all know that he is coming from a bad loss so he will try to regain his reputation by putting up a gallant fight, losing is a bad way to make an exit but many boxers have to experience this to finally realized that they don't have it anymore, this fight will decide if any one of them does not have it anymore.

It's over now, Kell Brook beats Khan when the referee stop the fight at 6th rounds. There was no resistance from Khan, yes he still has quick hands, but once Brook gets going and started to hit Khan, Amir's body language has change. I gave all the rounds to Kell Brook prior to the stoppage of the referee.

The bookies are right this time. And possibly next for Brook is Chris Eubank Jr, as he mentioned it. The good thing about this is that they respect each other and Khan accepted the defeat gracefully. I believe he knows what's next for him after this fight. But for Kell Brook, he has still a lot to give inside the ring. He knows that he is a prizefighter now. So let's see what's next for Brook.

I think Brook still has something within him, he can still fight and yeah, why not Eubank Jr next for him?
And this is what a prize fighter is made of, at the end of the time, all things said and done, there are mutual respect between Amir and Kell. For Khan probably will retire after this fight, nothing to prove anymore at 147 lbs. He earn his money and could live a lavish lifestyle in UK.

It's just a matter of time before Brook found that perfect opening and then knock the hell of out Khan, so good intervention by the referee to stop it. And you can see that there are no objection from Khan and his corner because they know that they are really down on scorecard and Amir is getting weaker by every round. Congrats to those who beat on Brook the votes shows the intelligent of boxing community here as the vote is like 2:1 for Brook to win.

Brook is the favorite to win the fight and he delivers nowhere to go for Khan but to retire, it's a second straight loss for Khan, Brook is the hungry fighter and motivated fighter in this fight always chasing and always connecting with his punches, there's a huge disparity of punches Brook really overwhelmed Khan here, it's a one-sided match and I thought Khan will give Brook a hard win.

It's really a ticket for retirement for Khan since he is already weakened throughout this year and it seems like he will be back in the boxing industry but as a commentator or a trainer. He has had some great career in the past but everything comes to an end including his skills and stamina as a boxer. Nevertheless, it was a good fight and hope to see Brook in another match with another great boxer Congratulations to him for winning this fight.

Brook is really sharp and dominate all the rounds, matured Brook can still win via TKO! he still have his power and stamina in the past. Nothing change from Khan, I thought his training can make him improve a lot... but his chin still weak and easy to knocking down him. I think with the current Brook's performance he can challenge Erislandy Lara to grab WBA belt.

Congratulations for anyone who bet Brook via KO/TKO, I lose due to bet Brook via decisions ;D

The fight was too early in my timezone so I was not able to watch the fight, but thanks for giving me such information, now I know who won the fight and I will just watch some video highlights on youtube. I was thinking that Khan would somehow give a good fight, but as I read your post, I think fans are disappointed.

Khan admits his loss and is very disappointed with how the fight turned out even a great camp cannot help him to figure out how to beat Brook, Brook can still go back to active boxing because of how he performed here's an interview with Khan and he admitted that the love for the sport is not there anymore, so this is his last fight so bad it end this way.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNSxonz4tc4

It was great sportsmanship from Amir Khan admitting his loss and declaring Brook the best in the ring. Despite best training he couldn't get it. As far as calling it a day is concerned, I think after losing fight many boxers feels like saying good bye to sports but once they go back and think with cool mind they take back there words. He is just 35 years old and he can still fight for 2 to 3 years.

Nah he should not, he should protect his legacy he has done a lot and his body could not take anymore he has suffered a lot of bad losses and those knocked out he suffered was brutal, he still has a place in the boxing world as a trainer or as a commentator, based on that interview his body and mind is no longer there, he should just enjoy his retirement and time with his family he is financially secured already.

Khan always has a weak chin and i think nothing can change that aspect, i mean no amount of training can improve his chin.

The quickness of his hands worked to his disadvantage, it zapped his energy as he didn't hit something  ;D.

Though Brook won this fight i think he is still far from challenging the champions of this weight class.


Same here, lose my bet as i thought Brook can't KO Khan but seems Khan is tailored fit for Brook's style.

Congrats to those who won and backed Brook on this one.

I also think that this is just one and done fight for Brook, no need to challenge a relative unknown fighter i n Eubank Jr, although he has his father name, which is also etch in British boxing.

He should retire for good, he has settled the long standing feud with Amir Khan.

Amir said post interview that the love for the sports is no longer there, so I will interpret it that he is hanging up his gloves and this will be his last fight.

Yeah, for no we've seen Khan's career he has his best years winning belt but then totally exposed by his weak chin. But he has accomplished many things for British boxing, including a sliver medal in the Olympics. At this time though, it's obvious that there is no fire inside of him, he is still very fast, but against a young and upcoming 147 lbs fighters, he will surely get clipped again, so its better for him to retire from boxing.

that was 17 years in the making between khan and brook. so respect to both boxers! so yeah, seems that khan is already retiring from boxing according to this  article  (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/boxing/article-10531595/Amir-Khan-confirms-plan-retire-Kell-Brook-humiliating-stoppage-defeat.html). not bad to end his career with a loss. at least, he's in good shape rather than received a long-term damage like neurological diseases. enjoy his retirement with his family and that's more important than anything. no need to chase for the legacy of winning the last fight.

Kell Brook had won the fight against Amir Khan via technical knock out.
Here is the update:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/boxing/news/amir-khan-vs-kell-brook-fight-results-highlights-brook-batters-khan-for-tko-to-complete-rivalry/amp/

A video highlight like some videos uploaded on youtube is better to watch than reading the story. And yes, Kell Brook won the fight, the bookies were right of making Kell Brook the favorite of the fight because he completely dominate Amir Khan, I can say that Khan should retire now.

Agree, he won't be able to attract viewers because he loses in this fight, and since it's a TKO, that's worse because it's very convincing. Now, Kell brook has a chance to fight champions or probably a boxer like Keith Thurman, what do you think?

At this point, I think he is already done, he is already 35 years and old and he is not anymore as exciting as he was before. It's just unfortunate that his possible last fight in boxing is a loss, well most boxers do retire when they are already losing because they would also lose their value, only a few retired being undefeated, just like Floyd Mayweather.

After this fight, he realizes that there's nothing anymore and the time for retirement might be the next thing that Khan will do,
It's not too hard to interpret those lines, it simply implies that he is no longer enjoying and the passion for this start already passed on him,
Maybe for Brook there's still some fight to expect he still got that solid power punch. Let's wait for further updates if who's going to be the next one that will be arranged against him.

Khan was very helpless since the match commenced, though he tried but Brook was so persistent and indeed as expected Khan was brutally beaten before the end of round 6. After that the referee stopped it and decides that Brook will be the one who will go home victorious.

Khan already knows what is coming to him, that's why we can't see no objection and it's very clear that he lost.

I share the same opinion with you. Khan made this to himself because the way he handled the fight and lost via TKO, he sure don't have anywhere to go but to retire and accept that it is the end of his career now. For Brook, it is clear that he still have the capabilities needed and yes maybe he will fight Keith Thurman next, as there's no news about Keith next match yet.

Not an upset this time. Brook's winning over Khan is crystal clear.
As Khan admitted that the fire burning was not there anymore, he may be soon officially announce his retirement to this sports.
I also voted for Brook on this poll. But it seems that Brook will only fight one or two fights, and he's done as well.
At least no bad blood between the two. They settled whatever was remaining inside the ring, fair and square.

He already announced his retirement after them match https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNSxonz4tc4 . Seeing his body condition after the match I think he has wisely called it a day. He has achieved much in his boxing career he has Total fights = 40, Wins = 34, Wins by KO   = 21 and Losses = 6 Source (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amir_Khan_(boxer)). whats else as a boxer you need?

I was also in favor of Brook because Khan is already done more than his abilities, and now he was just hanging around for media attention even I have no doubt he was good boxer few years back but now at the age of 35 he needs to do some other things in his life, but he was checking for something, but this fight now give him clear indication about his abilities and body, so he has done very good and announces straight forward retirement after this lose.

I was checking Brook is also looking for same announcement but with this win now this can take some time because maybe he has something better for near future, and then he also announces official about this all but still very good fight between these two and good luck for khan after retirement life.

He surely realized that his body can't take it anymore, and from that Amir Khan VS Kell Brook fight we can see the huge advantage of Brook, his body muscle was like on steroids the punching power was superb, even though Amir Khan has the speed and has a counter punch, it is not enough because Kell Brook has the durability to last long in the most punishing punches of Amir Khan, and Khan is wobbling every time Brook hit him with a solid punch.


I never doubted Amir Khan he still can fight but not as solid back when he is at his prime, it's like his body has given up on him while Kell Brook with the same age as Khan has proven that he has more strength, and durability, than Khan, those solid punches that Khan has taken was really shaken him up to his core and makes him wobble but still initiate a counter punch on Kell Brook but the power was not there, this really indicates that he totally needs retirement.

As I expected, this fight is just an overrated fight for Amir Khan.

Amir Khan is done for and he clearly understands that after the fight.

His move of announcing retirement is a well-respected decision. He will be recognized. Good decision to finally settle up.

Yeah, same here, I thought that Khan will somehow make it a close fight. But when he was hurt early, when he was tag and his legs gets wobbly, it was the beginning of an end for him. And Brook is just walking him, didn't mind Amir Khan's punch because he knows he can take it. Indeed, good decision to settle down, but hopefully he has investment his money well he earn from boxing so that he can live a modest to good life for him and his family.

We won't be seeing Amik Khan to fight again because he made up his decision.

he is going to retire.

https://www.skysports.com/boxing/news/12183/12546824/amir-khan-on-retirement-after-kell-brook-loss-the-love-for-the-sport-isnt-there-anymore

I guess that's it, his career is over and just unfortunate he wasn't able to reclaim himself, he will be remembered in boxing as a "Glass Chin". Hopefully he will live a happy life after boxing, of course he is still an entertaining boxer, but like I said, his journey is over.

You are right, this may be our last bet for Amir Khan, although yesterday I placed a bet for him, but I'm not disappointed, even though I lost the bet, because I won some time ago when I sided with boxer Amir.

I admit that Brook almost perfectly beat Amir in the sixth round of TKO, I am also proud to see Brook's statement to end his grudge with Amir forever, maybe it's true what fans and people say Amir Khan should take the step of retiring from the world of boxing, the war between Amir vs. Brooks finished.

It's finished and Amir Khan's career is also finished. I mean, there's no more promoter that will work with him because he will not get a big fight and they'll never be profitable, it will be Kell Brook now who will surely have another fight, maybe from the guys whom he has not fought before, like Ugas or Thurman, or maybe Shawn Porter.

i don't think khan will think of going back inside the ring after this poor performance. this for me will be his last. but who knows, he will go back inside the boxing ring again just for exhibition fights just like these retired boxers staging fights with youtubers.  ;D but professionally, nope.
for kell brook, he will have bigger fights but it will not be long, he will also announce his retirement. new bloods are coming in in the boxing ring.

That would be the best decision he should be doing. I mean, he don't have it anymore and retiring is the best option for him.

Unfortunately for him, he did not won the Pacquiao sweepstake, that could have made him retire early.

I have nothing against Amir but seeing him lose to the best of this division makes me think that this guy will be just a stepping stone for upcoming popular boxers if he continues to fight.

I am very well familiar with Kelly Brook,  he is one of my favourite fighter for sometime I have been watching boxing.  But I can't really tell who win this fight, I don't too know amir Khan very well. When professional boxers fight sometimes you can't really tell who the winner will be.

Salute to him. It's the best decision. He knows that he can't ride with the wave anymore. Truly he will be recognized as one of the best boxers in history.

It is best not to force himself to fight where he already realized that he can't anymore. If he continues to fight, it might just give dirt on his name for the continuous losing he will experience in the future.

Amir Khan does have a nice ride in boxing. Relax and enjoy the retirement with his family.

Then clearly you don't follow boxing as this fight is over if you read the post several pages back.

I suggest to the OP to lock this thread for good, no need to discuss it further. Kell Brook already won the fight more than 24 hours ago.

You can open another thread regarding Brook's future fight.

That's right, we can close this thread as the fight is over, Brook will continue his journey while Khan might settle for retirement.

Sending OP a DM about your suggestion to lock the thread.

Thank you all for making this thread a valuable one, and since the game is over and there's no more to discuss, I like to close this thread.

Also, thanks for the PM Q, this thread is now officially closed.
