A decade in the making and it is game on, Khan v Brook! now the two former world champions will clash this Saturday.
The Promoters worked hard on making this happen, the boxers were kept apart whist the legal process was dealt with and it will be on sky Saturday.
They both need each other now, after both suffer a defeats to Crawford!
Kell Brook has made it personal and has chased this fight, He seems angry and tense. It looks like a grudge match. During Gloves Are Off, "Brook Expressed how the fight was personal", Khan looked more relaxed and happy. Brook refused to shake hands and left Khan hanging
Everybody has a different winner, no one can call it with confidence, including me. They are both in the shapes of their lives, they both have so much to lose and this all goes into making it a really big fight,
They are both World level fighters, but are they able to get a world level title again? or is it to late? They have both been world level for a long time, but this is not about that, it is simply about respect. It has been compared with matchup's like Froch and Groves and that was not about belts either. " Hatton said. "They just don't like each other, do they?
Amir's speed and Kell Brooks power, is Khans chin up to Kell Brooks power? or is Kell up to Khans speed and timing? it makes this a level match up, and a bit of a conundrum.
For Amir Khan aged 31, it is very important, in fact it is important to both fighters, for different reasons, but Khan has more to lose.
Kell Brook warns that he has mastered the notorious weight cut before facing Amir Khan on Saturday, "I am very comfortable. I am happy. I'm not putting a poker face on." says Brook, He warned Khan: "He has made a big mistake by [delaying me] for seven months.
Khan said: "I've never trained so hard. I never had an easy day. "Having Terence Crawford here is massive motivation. He is the best fighter in the world - he fought me and Kell - and his advice has been brilliant.
"I will win this fight in good style.
David Haye Says "Khan is in the shape of his life and really up for this" and Kell Brook expressed how personal this match is, so it all makes for a tasty affair.
Undefeated WBO champion Crawford, puts Khan through brutal preparations: "I call it Hell in a Cell! If you get through camp, you can do anything.
So What Are People Saying?
Eddi Hearn: "I think Kell brook wins the fight, I think he wants it more i think he is a bit more fresher"
Conor Ben "I think it is a 50/50 fight" Khan could out work brook, but brook could have the timing and accuracy"
Shawn Porter "Its even fight, I cant pick a winner"
SCOTTYSLOTTY #SCOTTYSSTATS Verdict:
Both fighters are looking razor sharp. I am no expert, but I think this fight really could go either way, this may be the beginning of a trilogy. or it might just be settled on the night.
I think Kell Brook will find Khans chin eventually and If gets the chance will probably knockout Khan, but I think this is more important to khan and I think Khan is going to want to get brook out early to avoid this happening, Khan with his speed and accuracy, over brooks power, so with a gun to my head, I say Khan wins this 1st bout, in the first 6 rounds! However it really is going to be a great fight, a fight we have waited so long for, so bring on Saturday night and I hope it is as enjoyable as billed. What are your predictions?
