    how is GGG not a pay per view fighter? He's far more exciting than Pacquiao, red headed chicken Canelo or any other boxer right now.

    But I guess lucky for us we dont have to pay :)

    There is literally 1 combat fighter than I will pay money for and that's Rhonda Rousey. Other than her, I don't care about anybody: pac, may, GGG, ward, Mcgreg, canelo. Line them up. I don't care.

    GGG is one of the most boring fighters ever.

    Rousey v. Carmouche was a classic.

    I wish there was an exiting boxer but there just ain't anybody.

    LOL @ GGG is boring. You can say a lot of things about him, critisize his opponents but boring? I don't anyone who would call him that. what clearly hates him for some weird reason.

    its a PPV fight in the UK. We don't pay for their PPVs and they don't pay for ours. But I don't think this is a PPV fight here so lucky us is right

    Brook is fighting well right now.

    I can't believe the towel just got thrown.

    GGG looks like he was going to take him out, but why would you throw the towel.

    GGG broke Kell's face in the second round and knew it. He landed 88 shots (66% of total landed shots) to that side of Kell's face so was targetting the injury. Brook was rushed to the hospital for a suspected fractured eye socket.

    GGG has slow hands, no charisma and fights in that typical European Wladimir Klitschko style of fighting.

    Accumulation knockouts aren't exciting. All he is is a pressure fighter that leans on you till you go down. He is the best right now at that style no doubt, but it still is just that.

    When you go into a ggg fight you don't feel like you are going to see something legendary. In Pac's heyday, you wanted to see the banshee coming at you (it was extra-human.)

    You are never going to see GGG on pay per view because the general public don't like watching the European-style of boxing. Same reason Klitschkos were such a dull draw.

    Not exciting? Come on, man. Sure, he doesn't move his head...almost at all. I go into GGG fights thinking, man if his opponent can handle his heavy hands AND slow his advance, it could get interesting. Surely someone can expose this dude.

    I thought Brook was doing a commendable job, until that 5th round. I thought if he could last another round or two, he could definitely turn the tables and pull out the win. But in round 5 he just didn't throw back...at all it seemed. He tried to play like it wasn't hurting him, and tire GGG out. If that was the plan, his corner didn't know.

    Post-fight Kell said he couldn't see after round 2, and Golovkin knew it too. So that has to be what they talked about so intently between rounds 4 and 5 in Kell's corner.

    I see why you are drawing comparisons between Klitch and GGG, but Klitch literally leans on his opponents to tire them down. GGG doesn't as far as I can tell. He just walks them down and tries to knock their block off. Kell was doing a good job of smothering him at times. Others...not so much obviously. And obviously, just my take. My standards are low though, I just get giddy when there is a decent boxing match on at all, haha!
