He's clearly, and understandably, rattled whenever he takes a decent shot anywhere around the eyes now but based on their recent performances Brook has a lot more left in the tank than Khan in terms of technique and physical attributes. Unless he's become completely shot to pieces in the 15 month or so since the Crawford fight I really can't see him losing this.

First two rounds of the Crawford fight his timing was actually impressive

The only way I see him losing this is if he's too emotionally invested. He doesn't really hate Khan because of all the bollocks comments over the years, but he looks at Khan and the champions of the day wanting to fight Khan, while most looked at Kell and thought fuck that except an extremely game Shawn Porter, and thinks that should have been my path instead of having to go two weights up and get fucked up by a bruiser of a man. Then they wanted to fight Kell. Kell knows he had what it took to mix it with the very best at his natural weight but never got that opportunity while Khan did.

Kell is in a completely different league to Amir and always was.

And, aye, I agree with you. If Khan was a big puncher then Kell would have a problem due to his eye damage.

I've just been listening to a YT video with John Murray and Michael Brodie and they're talking about Khan's superior skill. Are they serious? He's never been half the boxer that Brook is.
 
The BBC has some pretty insightful pre match analysis if anyone needs some insight before placing their bets...

"I would imagine Khan will target Brook's face and body"

Initially thought khan would win but after seeing the weigh in, I'm leaning towards brook.

Oh 100%. I just think there has to be a better ethical approach from the matchmaker, you’re picking a guy from the pub, and putting him into the ring with an Olympic medalist. It’s dangerous. I know it’s a dangerous sport but there needs to be some levelling.
