Brook now wants Canelo would 154 be more suited to him??  Or has he taken one too many punches from GGG

Canelo is huge at the weight.  Has Brook learned nothing?  He's better wiping the floor with Khan before he does anything else.

Haven't seen Diego de la Hoya or Diaz Jr fights.  Rosado - Monroe Jr was brutal, I like Monroe's style as long as he's in the ring with a pressure fighter unfortunately although Rosado always starts slowly he never picked up at all and he looks pretty shot now. 

Alvarez - Smith was pretty boring as well imo.  It's easy for Alvarez to look flashy against a walking punch bag.  Smith was awful imo plodding around with that stupid high guard which had him catching numerous body shots and uppercuts.  I don't think there was much merit in him getting Alvarez onto the ropes just a lack of respect from Alvarez in terms of what Smith had to offer.  Interesting to see that De la Hoya is now trying to publicly accept the blame for the GGG fight not happening to protect his cash cow.  Desperate times for Golden Boy obviously.

Usyk - Glowacki was a good fight for one that ended up being pretty one sided.  Usyk must have a lot of power for a fighter that moves as well as he does because I'd have expected Glowacki to take one or two shots to get inside and try to rough him up but it never really happened and Glowacki looked fucked/clueless in the second half of the fight.  Usyk looks tremendous though, incredible footwork for someone that size and the jab/left hand was nice.

Fighting Canelo at 154 is nothing like fighting GGG at 160. The fight makes sense IMO. Otherwise if Brook can get back to 147 him v Spence would be a belter.

Fighting canelo at 154 might seem logical but would still say the only outcome would be canelo stopping brook , he's huge at the weight. Depends what brooks after really another massive payday and then chuck it or wanting to defend his title at 147. Would love to see him spark Khan out but khans going to avoid that at all costs

Yeah would love to see Brook v Spence that would be a cracking fight.  I also think 154 would be decent weight for him but nt Canelo as he'd be massive on the night and would destroy him i think

Reasonable upset in Japan as a thought to be faded Hasegawa became a 3 weight world champion stopping Hugo Ruiz.

Saw some highlights of Yamanaka beating Moreno again, he looked very impressive

Heard that Yamanaka fight was brilliant going to watch it later.

Caught in two minds about this. On the one hand there'll be a lot of Carl Froch involvement, which is always a bad thing, but on the other, at least it'll get the hype and recognition in this country that it deserves. Two of the top 5 best on the planet p4p in a world title fight should not be a fight going under the radar with a mainstream audience, but it likely would have had boxnation picked up the rights.
