Official highlights
Poor Jojo Dan. The dream is over :(
Wow, what a performance by K.Brooks. Amir Khan doesn’t want any part of this man!
I think Brooks knocks Khan out. No way is Khan going 12 rounds with someone who has that much power, timing & accuracy.
Easy to look good when your fighting a nobody. He’s good but hasnt got the speed or footwork for khan
Um… Brooks has great speed & footwork. Since when do you need those attributes to beat Khan anyway? You think Prescott, Peterson & Garcia are quick?
I think this fight just demonstrated how good Brook simply is.
Glad Brook has recovered, but this was a terrible mismatch.
It wasn’t! Jo Jo was the number one contender and honestly, if you’ve watched Jo Jo’s last fight then you would realize he’s the right contender to challenge for the title. He’s a brawler/boxer who’s not afraid to mix it up with anyone but K.Brook just proved he’s levels above his challenger and he just destroyed this guy. Shame they gave it 2 stars i thought it was 3 stars easy.
Brook did what he should do.
Khan Vs Brook would be a great fight. I wouldn’t bet on that fight as it is a toss up.
