Eddie's beard is fucking ruthless. It's relentlessly trying to grow. He's gotta shave before bed, set his alarm for 4am to shave it again, and then do it again after he has woke up, and once more before he leaves the house....
Kell Brook 100% made the right call to take a knee ain't no boxing match worth losing ur sight for I don't care what any keyboard warrior has to say because that's a fact and Bellew who most of the time I agree with was a complete hypocrite calling him a quitter after all his previous talk during his clash with haye about both men getting out safe and sound back to families being the most important thing.
carlosbestos Bellew is not a hypocrite he states his downfall is that he would never quit in a fight, The man speaks his mind and isnt a media robot. Kel took a knee not with the intention to pull out, but to regroup he was clearly struggling sad talent to loose as a brit but he should hang them gloves up and be able to live a good life with what hes built before hes got money that he cant spend unles its on medical care for the rest of his life.
I agree. You only have to look at Gerald McLellan and Magomed Abdusalamov to see that there's a case of out of site, out of mind in the boxing world. If Kell Brook had gone blind or worse, would the fans help contribute to his living costs after the insurance money runs out - I doubt it?!
khan has no choice he gets knocked out? wtf are you talking about pal, Maidana was giving khan a bigger beating then spence gave brook but he hanged in there...when Garcia knocked him down he kept wanting to fight on, even when the ref stopped the fight he was mad, he wanted Garcia to knock him out straight rather then then quit...when your boy Prescott took him out, he was trying so hard to get up and you know why cause he dont quit. Yes chin of David price but a heart of lion
hmmm man your about as smart as a bag of skittles pal. Brook was losing, thats my point, if he was winning he would of continued you foolish child, so in my eyes he is a quitter, get it? no/yes? and yes brook would ko khan...whats your point??? I'm talking about quitting my child....I think I'm done here
fool where both potatoe couches thats why I would never use that insult on you cause it comes back to, hence why I stick to calling you stupid, dumb etc...congratulations you just played yourself...carmen basillo read about him anyway like I said I'm done...peace take care pal
That's the number one gripe I have with Eddie Hearn/Matchroom. The undercards on big shows in particular are usually incredibly one sided. On the smaller shows however, you normally get really good domestic fights. They are doing spectacular things for the sport on the whole but I think that fans would be much more appreciative if there was more 50/50 fights. Joshua v Klitchko was received so well because it was back and forth - That needs to happen more. From a business point of view I see what he's doing - he needs to pad records and build profiles but I think it can demonise the sport and give fans a reason to turn to sports like MMA where an undefeated record is not the most important aspect.
Cornwall1888 tbf getting told you could lose your sight from the same injury the fight beforehand, it would stick in your mind when it happens again. he could have fought on but why risk it.
Cornwall1888 Yeah but he's talking about the difference between quitting and being a quitter. Whoever doesn't understand that needs to think it through and whoever just wants to talk shit is a real loser.
Latino America if he quit by definition he's a quitter, no matter how justified it was Interesting Hearn would want him to risk his eye if he was winning
Cornwall1888 If you quit your job does that make you a chronic quitter or a quitter at life? Brook quit the fight but he's not a quitter at boxing in the way I just mentioned in the analogy. If he had a chance to win and the fight was 50/50, then I'm telling him not to quit either.
Kell Brook deserves much more credit than many other 'British' World Champions. He's faced P4P 2 of the best champions out there, reminds me of Hatton getting beaten by Mayweather & Pacquiua. (No disgrace either)
Bill Boxer how? Brook beat a true world champion in shawn porter then tested himself against two elite fighters in ggg and spence. Doesnt seem like a fighter who 'treads water'. Just because you use the word 'casual' you automatically become a boxing expert... it's laughable.
will Myers 'tested himself ' ggg was a money grab and he had no choice but to fight spence to retain the only thing that makes him a money draw , his belt
Big Narstie there so fast to turn there backs on fellow countrymen before the Spence fight they were all on his side then after they turn on him glory hunters is all they are not real fans.
Big Narstie Too many keyboard warriors out their when something bad happens they be like ref should have stopped the fight blah blah blah it was a top fight best man won respect to Kell 4 taking a knee hope he comes back stronger and the Khan fight gets made.
Kell Brook is a Better Fighter than Both Screwbanks... Kell Brooks first Eye Injury came from The Middleweight Monster and Middleweight Champion GGG, Kell Brook stepped up and took Chris Screwbanks Jr's Beating because Chris was afraid of Gennady and got rid of all the pens in the house so he cldnt sign the contract... Kell Brook had the Balls to step in with a real Devastating Puncher and Paid the price. I still think Kell Brook is the best fighter in his division and I think when his eye heals he will get a rematch with Errol Spence Jr. who will not only have Kells Belt but I believe he will have Keith Thurmans belt also.
HolyRollerTV - really? the Man broke his Orbital Bone... no smart boxer wld have kept going, it was a smart decision for his career and now he still has one because of it... your so stupid you shldnt be commenting on Boxing because you obviously know nothing about it!
Wont happen this year, both will have mandatory's next, IBF are fuckers for that! Need both fighters to have their belts to make this another Wembley! Groves for me, he took some shots but looked brand new when he went in to finish the fight, as good as ive seen him since Froch 1
he kept asking tyson about Joshua in every video you could tell at the time he was pissed off about it even after he won the titles all people were talking about was Joshua
tyson and john fury haven't given them an interview since then mate tyson even said to kugan about it at the time about him being big mates with Joshua so imo its obviously something to do with that but to be honest I don't think kugan did anything wrong by asking those questions and from what ive seen recently on social media if there was a problem its been sorted out they both seem like there mates
It's highly unlikely he'd lose his sight. everything he ever worked for came to him being a plucky loser. he's weak minded and should never fight again. many fighters week in week out fight with that injury for a few grand as journeymen. stop buying into the hype. he quit. he's a disgrace. Amir khan wouldn't have taken that knee ;)
Actually on my DMT trip i met these beings from another dimension they had 3 genders and in order to reproduce 3 were required to participate in sexual intercourse .
in my opinion it was 3-3 after 6 rounds. and then spence evry single round after that. but ultimatly judges had spence winning, 97-92 96-93 95-94 after 10
Looked even but Brooke was up on all cards till 6th, prob by 3/4 rounds, Spence had plenty in him to go on and win the remaining rounds and would have won the fight still if it had gone the distance. Not that i agree with the score cards, some of the score cards ive seen from fights of late have astonished me!!
i like brook and support british boxing but to be very honest brook is a b level fighter. at 154 wont beat cotto, canelo, charlo, lara or spence jr. why? coz he CANT for his life fight on the inside.
Thats the type of fighter Spence is though. He grinds people down. Giving him no credit is a bit daft tbh. Brook started well but Spence was always going to take over. This wasnt a David Haye injury, Spence caused the eye injury so give him some credit.
Eddie is bang on about Joshua Buatsi. The guy looked like a pro at the Olympics, the power he showed was incredible. If they develop him in the right way he's going to be a World Champion in no time!
Great signing for Eddie with Buatsi! He was one of the most impressive fighters at the 2016 Olympics for sure! As for Brook, yes he was Forced To Quit to Avoid permanent Damage like Frank Bruno. OK time to move on and redeem himself at 154 maybe he can get the winner of Liam Williams vs Liam Smith II, maybe Miguel Cotto who is a small 154 fighter himself if he beats Kamagai!
Kell didn't get beat by then better man. Kell was 4-2 up after 6 rounds let's be real. Kells eye was injured in the 7th, that's when Errol started to take over. Do the maths. Kell made Errol look poor at times. Not impressed by spence
Elmz Elmi Antony ogogo a bronze medalist received a fractured eye socket from Craig Cunningham an absolute nobody. So don't tell me a lower level of opponent couldn't have done that to kell
Somebody please tell Eddie Hearn to look up the dictionary definition of cartel....then get him to realize he's talking about making one with other broadcasters openly.
Has the other eye gone though? Why hasn't Kell posted proof on this one? He did against GGG, so why hasn't he against Spence? Until Kell posts proof (just like he did against GGG) I don't think we believe you. A key point for me was when Kell busted his eye against GGG he said something like "i could see 5 or 6 of them out there". In this fight Kell said "i had double vision." Completely different. Eddie made a good point about the corners letting the fight go on for too long. Kell *knew* that he needed the KO and he *knew* that he wasn't going to knock him out because he was spent and Errol was still bringing it. He just can't compete at 147 at the highest class anymore. Kell won't compete at 147 again unless it's against Amir.
One thing I absolutely cannot work out is why Eddie Hearn continually refers to Jose Uzcategui as Jose "Ooz-cats-guy" where is he getting this pronounciation from? No one has ever pronounced it that way. Annoys me every time I hear it
100% he told Davies to not sell the fight with it being with the McGuigans. AND the Summer Brawl is the same as the next gen event in Newcastle. Should of been able to put a bigger main event than a British title fight
eddie calls this saturation but its great for the fans itl probably mean less pay per view fights from matchroom as they wont have the monopaly on boxing.
He technically did quit but what's the point if your vision's pretty much gone and your behind in the fight? And there are other guys who've been in the same position and gone on, but how many of them had had the exact same injury in the fight immediately before and came close to doing career-ending, life-changing damage from that injury?
lots of boxers in the past quit.. they didn't have the same stigma for it though.. the first boxer to get stigma for quitting was duran... and his quit was dramatic.. so it added extra impetus. i just hope it doesn't become routine now for boxers to quit the moment they feel slightly uncomfortable.
Of course nobody can blame Brook for taking a knee. He was badly injured and was not going to win the fight. But that is not the point, point is: Kell showed that he is not one of these 'warrior' type fighters, and although it is stupid to carry on with such a bad injury, it is something that someone like Froch or Fury (true warriors) would not even think about, they would only think about carrying on until they physically could not, and they would never believe they weren't going to get back into the fight. So the debate is not about whether it was a good or sensible decision by Brook; of course it was a decision that normal people would make but rather what the decision shows about his attitude
Robert Thomson Agreed. You can't go on about being a 'warrior' then take a knee. I don't blame Kel for his decision, i would have done the same thing. But I'm not calling myself a Warrior!! He's fought 3 names, edged 1 and lost the other 2. He's clearly not all that 'special'.
I think it's absurd that a potential Crawford/Indongo fight, for all the belts, would be held in Omaha, NE. Just shows how few paying customers support either guy.
I think it's absurd that a potential Crawford/Indongo fight, for all the belts, would be held in Omaha, Nebraska. Why can't these fights ever happen in neutral territory?
The truth is. Even now. Even after all the hard work Eddie has put into Brook. If he could choose to promote either Kell or Amir. He would choose Amir, simply because he'd keep Amir active and fanbase in the UK hardcore. A love him or hate him type of thing which plays into Khans natural personality anyway. Shame
No one is asking for the Klitschko rematch though Eddie!? Klitschko will be another 6-7 months older, AJ more experienced and primed. Basically we saw Klitschko's current best Vs a relatively novice heavyweight and AJ still came out on top.
Eddie is right about having shows on the same night it makes no sense , just pisses fans off . Like Ohara Davies but il be watching box nation that night
Do these big arenas not have metal detectors before entering? Or a quick pat down. The no bag policy is a very good idea aswell. Rather be safe than sorry.
Eddie Hearn is a promoter who is doing his job and fulfilling his part of the contract and he's making his fighters a lot of money he know's what's what and the who said what about who is all part of the sport now, Back in the day Marquess of Queensberry rules i would have thought their were similarity's in the Hype because that's part of paying the bills the public love all that especially the woman L.O.L I think Eddie Hearn is a genuine bloke he's very good at his job and their are always going to be those for and against that's life innit L.O.L A.J. is the future in heavyweight boxing he's going all the way because he's good at his job too and i look forward to watching it happen he's soaking up all what's needed and sure he's not always going to win but he's the better fighter for not becoming complacent and getting the job done all in all they make a great team.
I thought Spence started fast as we all kinda expected but Kell started bossing him after that as Spence started walking back and holding on near the ropes..But you seen Kell's performance start dropping as his eye started causing him problems and i have had the same injury done to me so he quit as he couldnt see he couldnt win from that time so your better saving yourself for the rest of your career,,Plus see when he was holding his eye it bloody feels like its popping out your head.Kell Brook will be better when he has this eye done aswell and going up a weight was what he has to do as its hurting his body going that low.
wow. dont know what u were watching lool. i had brook 4-2 at 6 rounds and then spence winning every single round thereafter. but ultimately after 10 rounds all judges had spence winning, 97-92 96-93 95-94
Eddie Hearn is actually a quality guy I think .. really don't get the hate for him whatsoever he comes across totally genuine and sound and he doesn't mix his words for anybody.. bellews Comments about Brookhaven clearly annoyed him and he lets it known but in a professional respectful way the way he handled the kugan being barred from Wembley was brilliant as well .. he tried he would of tried harder but he wasn't risking the biggest fight he's ever promoted over some petty shit. Kugan is class too though I love the IFl vids .. if your reading this guys and feel like being kind I'd love to be a guest at a show hahaha ! 😂
To be fair I'm ex army and a true warrior never quits not asif he lost an arm or leg for his hometown crowd he should have fought on just scared of going down like Khan did
Forget about if Brook quit or not (he did....FACT). What about all these people thumping their chests like experts telling us all how Errol is a "hype job". Where did they go?
He certainly quit. And he certainly made the right decision - if that decision is driven by prioritising his health. He should quit boxing right now - every boxer gets into it knowing that they are risking their health every time they step into the ring - the minute you prioritise your health over continuing to fight is the minute you need to stop. Not a criticism of brook in anyway, he's been an awesome talent (still is), he's just lost it mentally - which is understandable by most human standards!
Sorry but some of these comments about Brook been a quitter is fucking ridiculous. Firstly its easy for anyone to slate him sat comfy behind there computers and never have laced a pair of gloves in ther life. I am an amatuer fighter and let me tell you three 2 minute rounds is exhausting, these top pro's are super human and train up to 3 times a day 6 days a week, that on its own is proof that Brook is no quitter, just getting out of bed to run and sticking to a strict diet takes a lot of motivation. Also most fighters would of dodged Spence like the plague and vacated the belt, in other words quit been the champ and move on. After fighting GGG to take a risk in fighting Spence takes massive balls. Then he fracture his eye socket gets blurred vision but most of you want him to forget about his kids at home, forget about his eye sight and forget about his career and continue to fight LOL are you guys fucking nuts!!!
"I don't believe that he can fight with the same intensity, over 12 rounds, that he could at 154lbs" - and what evidence do you have to support that? who's he fought at super welter to back that theory up? His entire career has been built around welterweight, and was the world champ, there's more reason for him to stay at welter than there is for him to move up. Unfortunately, I think it's just sour grapes, Brook appears to be in a bit of a decline since the GGG fight, boxing has weight classes for a reason.
How can you have double vision and not see ??? and how did eddie know that it was the same injury as the GGG fight but on the other eye as soon as he did?? pls answer below
![Yeat & Summrs - GO2WORK [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/NEFEwfPcXRA/mqdefault.jpg)
Brook did quit but it was the smart thing to do otherwise babeh would have 1 eye.
Minz 'babeh' 😂😂😂
Bought the odd PPV years ago. IFL, Eddie and Froch Groves 1 happened. Now I'm obsessed.
Liam Cash good to here mate.
Liam Cash snap
Eddie's beard is fucking ruthless. It's relentlessly trying to grow. He's gotta shave before bed, set his alarm for 4am to shave it again, and then do it again after he has woke up, and once more before he leaves the house....
Hahahah
Kell Brook 100% made the right call to take a knee ain't no boxing match worth losing ur sight for I don't care what any keyboard warrior has to say because that's a fact and Bellew who most of the time I agree with was a complete hypocrite calling him a quitter after all his previous talk during his clash with haye about both men getting out safe and sound back to families being the most important thing.

I agree. You only have to look at Gerald McLellan and Magomed Abdusalamov to see that there's a case of out of site, out of mind in the boxing world. If Kell Brook had gone blind or worse, would the fans help contribute to his living costs after the insurance money runs out - I doubt it?!
Live by the sword die by the sword
Joey Ocean he didn't want to carry on against GGG, he saw the towel and acted up knowing he was being pulled out.
Amos T u sick fuck.
Does Buatsi have the warrior code?
Haha jokes
Bill Smez haha brilliant
He's a 15 round fighter
kidd172 maybe even 20 jim
what is the warrior code
Brook quit for the right reasons
1. Was losing the fight on the cards.
2. Did not look like he could knock him out.
3. His eye sight was on the line.
khan has no choice he gets knocked out? wtf are you talking about pal, Maidana was giving khan a bigger beating then spence gave brook but he hanged in there...when Garcia knocked him down he kept wanting to fight on, even when the ref stopped the fight he was mad, he wanted Garcia to knock him out straight rather then then quit...when your boy Prescott took him out, he was trying so hard to get up and you know why cause he dont quit. Yes chin of David price but a heart of lion
If your boy brook was winning the fight, would he quit in the 11th round like he did? let me to tell you sunshine absolutely not....stop it
hmmm man your about as smart as a bag of skittles pal. Brook was losing, thats my point, if he was winning he would of continued you foolish child, so in my eyes he is a quitter, get it? no/yes? and yes brook would ko khan...whats your point??? I'm talking about quitting my child....I think I'm done here
fool where both potatoe couches thats why I would never use that insult on you cause it comes back to, hence why I stick to calling you stupid, dumb etc...congratulations you just played yourself...carmen basillo read about him anyway like I said I'm done...peace take care pal

Well in 1-sided fights the odds will obviously be shit. It's just worth saving your money and betting on 50/50 fights.
Says it all. Jesus.
Brook did quit, I don't blame him but he chose not to continue
Cornwall1888 tbf getting told you could lose your sight from the same injury the fight beforehand, it would stick in your mind when it happens again. he could have fought on but why risk it.

Treads water most of his career, quits in his two biggest fights.
Matt Ramsey 'Treads water most of his career' u know absolutely fuck all
casual brainwashed sheep

Cheers Ed, nice to see you and Kugs are mates again
Degale vs Groves has to happen this year.
Wont happen this year, both will have mandatory's next, IBF are fuckers for that! Need both fighters to have their belts to make this another Wembley! Groves for me, he took some shots but looked brand new when he went in to finish the fight, as good as ive seen him since Froch 1
It would be a close fight but Groves has done it once before (also in the amateurs) he can do it again.
Groves will beat degale again, groves looks back to his best, degale is on the slide imo
Bullet 285 won't be this year he broke his jaw
Eubank Jnr smashes both
earn with hearn
YungRetroGamer you can't earn without hearn
So what u really mean ed is after 5 fights every fight after will be Buatsi PPV? Is that what im hearing between the lines??
Taylor v Davis is the fight!! Proper 50/50!
Brook has fought 2 elite fighters in his last 2 fights. 2 broken eye sockets 2 defeats. Says it all to me
Kugan WHEB THE FCK ARE YOU GONNA INTERVIEW TYSON FURY
TJ McGregor any reason Tyson doesn't let them interview him anymore?
he kept asking tyson about Joshua in every video you could tell at the time he was pissed off about it even after he won the titles all people were talking about was Joshua
tyson and john fury haven't given them an interview since then mate tyson even said to kugan about it at the time about him being big mates with Joshua so imo its obviously something to do with that but to be honest I don't think kugan did anything wrong by asking those questions and from what ive seen recently on social media if there was a problem its been sorted out they both seem like there mates
fury said kugan is welcomed at anytime in his camp on instagram
yes mate if there was a problem it seems like its sorted
Where's the Dillian whyte interview
Well brook certainly quit. Lets not debate fact.
Soz bad man and u would of stuck it out with no vision. Shhhhh
Isaac Isaacz I would've quit too but he chose not to continue
and wat Isaacz..........id make you quit on yr knees inside 2mins!!!
Isaac Isaacz well he choose eyesight over a belt good call i say i bet your not a fighter so shut it until done it pal
It's highly unlikely he'd lose his sight. everything he ever worked for came to him being a plucky loser. he's weak minded and should never fight again. many fighters week in week out fight with that injury for a few grand as journeymen. stop buying into the hype. he quit. he's a disgrace. Amir khan wouldn't have taken that knee ;)
Last time I was this early, there were still only 2 Genders..
and need shorting
and need shooting
It's great to see my joke hasn't fuelled institutionalised racism 😅🙈
King Arthur *fucking racist idiot*
Actually on my DMT trip i met these beings from another dimension they had 3 genders and in order to reproduce 3 were required to participate in sexual intercourse .
Keep up the good work IFLTV Love watching these sort of it interviews.
brook's now had two operations on both eyes, Yet Hearn is saying he will be fine to return to the ring, i'm not so convinced personally.
Brook was out boxing spence until the injury. Spence is good but not thr truth... Brook beats him at 154 pounds when Spence moves up.
in my opinion it was 3-3 after 6 rounds. and then spence evry single round after that. but ultimatly judges had spence winning, 97-92 96-93 95-94 after 10
Looked even but Brooke was up on all cards till 6th, prob by 3/4 rounds, Spence had plenty in him to go on and win the remaining rounds and would have won the fight still if it had gone the distance. Not that i agree with the score cards, some of the score cards ive seen from fights of late have astonished me!!
i like brook and support british boxing but to be very honest brook is a b level fighter. at 154 wont beat cotto, canelo, charlo, lara or spence jr. why? coz he CANT for his life fight on the inside.
id like to see that too actually.but ultimately cottos pressure would win a UD
Thats the type of fighter Spence is though. He grinds people down. Giving him no credit is a bit daft tbh. Brook started well but Spence was always going to take over. This wasnt a David Haye injury, Spence caused the eye injury so give him some credit.
Eddie is bang on about Joshua Buatsi. The guy looked like a pro at the Olympics, the power he showed was incredible. If they develop him in the right way he's going to be a World Champion in no time!
Time for the daily fix of IFL cheers kugs !
pure duck from Tommy McCarthy.They know perez is a dangerous man and hes in the best shape of his career.theyve shat it
Modern Broadcast agreed and Eddie will get the blame for it, all the bravado and now his trainer has the shit the bed
Terence crawford vs Julius indongo official??
Great signing for Eddie with Buatsi! He was one of the most impressive fighters at the 2016 Olympics for sure! As for Brook, yes he was Forced To Quit to Avoid permanent Damage like Frank Bruno. OK time to move on and redeem himself at 154 maybe he can get the winner of Liam Williams vs Liam Smith II, maybe Miguel Cotto who is a small 154 fighter himself if he beats Kamagai!
There's nothing wrong with what Brook did but he did quit, it's as simple as that.
Kell didn't get beat by then better man. Kell was 4-2 up after 6 rounds let's be real. Kells eye was injured in the 7th, that's when Errol started to take over. Do the maths. Kell made Errol look poor at times. Not impressed by spence
Let's be real, world title fights are not contested over six rounds. Brook was injured by a legitimate punch, both looked sloppy.
Matt Ramsey I see what you're saying, but a journeyman could have given kell that injury. Way too much credit is being given to spence. Undeserved
Adam Ali he broke his heart it's a 12 round fight. Even without the eye Spence was gonna be the winner
Elmz Elmi Antony ogogo a bronze medalist received a fractured eye socket from Craig Cunningham an absolute nobody. So don't tell me a lower level of opponent couldn't have done that to kell
Wouldn't it be worth to try and get the Callum vs Dirrel fight on the GGG vs Canelo undercard?
Eddie was not really thinking "stay down son"
Somebody please tell Eddie Hearn to look up the dictionary definition of cartel....then get him to realize he's talking about making one with other broadcasters openly.
Has the other eye gone though? Why hasn't Kell posted proof on this one? He did against GGG, so why hasn't he against Spence? Until Kell posts proof (just like he did against GGG) I don't think we believe you. A key point for me was when Kell busted his eye against GGG he said something like "i could see 5 or 6 of them out there". In this fight Kell said "i had double vision." Completely different.
Eddie made a good point about the corners letting the fight go on for too long. Kell *knew* that he needed the KO and he *knew* that he wasn't going to knock him out because he was spent and Errol was still bringing it. He just can't compete at 147 at the highest class anymore. Kell won't compete at 147 again unless it's against Amir.
you need to get a tripod - the camera is constantly moving!!
No way Brook has five more fights in him.
One thing I absolutely cannot work out is why Eddie Hearn continually refers to Jose Uzcategui as Jose "Ooz-cats-guy" where is he getting this pronounciation from? No one has ever pronounced it that way. Annoys me every time I hear it
100% he told Davies to not sell the fight with it being with the McGuigans. AND the Summer Brawl is the same as the next gen event in Newcastle. Should of been able to put a bigger main event than a British title fight
Is there an issue with Anthony Joshua not being able to fight in the US because of his criminal record?
No
His visa was approved. :)
kell brook is not a quitter, not worth loosing you sight end of story. Good fight and you didn't duck him and was prepared to battle. get well mate.
Buatsi could be the new Joshua, going to be exciting
Fraser King typical casual moron comment
nuff luv to eddie for bringing heat back to the game!!
Kell Brook is a living legend. There isn't any shame in what he did.
Eddie hearn love him or hate him is one of the best speakers I've ever heard, I can see why he is the king of promotors
eddie calls this saturation but its great for the fans itl probably mean less pay per view fights from matchroom as they wont have the monopaly on boxing.
He technically did quit but what's the point if your vision's pretty much gone and your behind in the fight? And there are other guys who've been in the same position and gone on, but how many of them had had the exact same injury in the fight immediately before and came close to doing career-ending, life-changing damage from that injury?
lots of boxers in the past quit.. they didn't have the same stigma for it though.. the first boxer to get stigma for quitting was duran... and his quit was dramatic.. so it added extra impetus. i just hope it doesn't become routine now for boxers to quit the moment they feel slightly uncomfortable.
Of course nobody can blame Brook for taking a knee. He was badly injured and was not going to win the fight. But that is not the point, point is: Kell showed that he is not one of these 'warrior' type fighters, and although it is stupid to carry on with such a bad injury, it is something that someone like Froch or Fury (true warriors) would not even think about, they would only think about carrying on until they physically could not, and they would never believe they weren't going to get back into the fight. So the debate is not about whether it was a good or sensible decision by Brook; of course it was a decision that normal people would make but rather what the decision shows about his attitude
Robert Thomson Agreed. You can't go on about being a 'warrior' then take a knee. I don't blame Kel for his decision, i would have done the same thing. But I'm not calling myself a Warrior!! He's fought 3 names, edged 1 and lost the other 2. He's clearly not all that 'special'.
Absolutely, Eddie did a brilliant job of convincing everyone (including myself) that Kell was an elite level fighter without proving it.
is nt anthony yards a light heavyweight as well. I see a rivalry brewing.
I think buatsi is a great fighter and will do well. I think the other gb fighters will struggle to make the revenue and break the mainstream.
"When you can't see and you've got double vision". How does that work?
when he said the barclay centre I think he meant the shopping centre 😁 lol
1:49 Hearn finally admits his undying Love for Kugan.
I think it's absurd that a potential Crawford/Indongo fight, for all the belts, would be held in Omaha, NE. Just shows how few paying customers support either guy.
I want Eddie to talk a bit more on David Allen and his options. He's definitely avoiding the topic.
Dave Allen is a joke. Novelty fighter.
Matt Ramsey I think he has potential. He just does not have the support to back him up. He did pretty well against Ortiz, that must say something.
I think it's absurd that a potential Crawford/Indongo fight, for all the belts, would be held in Omaha, Nebraska. Why can't these fights ever happen in neutral territory?
GGG has ruined him. He was trying to convince himself GGG didn't hit that hard as well. Delusional.
The truth is. Even now. Even after all the hard work Eddie has put into Brook. If he could choose to promote either Kell or Amir. He would choose Amir, simply because he'd keep Amir active and fanbase in the UK hardcore. A love him or hate him type of thing which plays into Khans natural personality anyway. Shame
No one is asking for the Klitschko rematch though Eddie!? Klitschko will be another 6-7 months older, AJ more experienced and primed. Basically we saw Klitschko's current best Vs a relatively novice heavyweight and AJ still came out on top.
Eddie mate that beard makes u look an extra 5 stone heavier sort ur life out son
9204 Shep maybe specially since in alot of his vids hes wearing 'workout' clothes. Maybe hes got into pie eating contests or somthing
when your in your 30's most men have double chins
Joe Calzaghe vs Mikkel Kessler was the last 4 belt plus ring magazine undisputed championship fight in 2007
James Smith There was no IBF title in that fight. I think Hopkins vs Taylor has been the only 4 belt plus Ring Magazine fight.
ehowie I just checked, your right.. I think Joe still held the IBF from the Jeff Lacy fight though?
James Smith I think he gave it up not long after winning it, don't think he even defended it.
ehowie I stand corrected 👍
I'll be watching the billy joe fight
Chezzamaine "look me, look me. YAOWWW"
Chezzamaine Me Brooklyn Boy
Billy pillow hands
I'm really not bothered about the Klitschko rematch.
Eddie is right about having shows on the same night it makes no sense , just pisses fans off . Like Ohara Davies but il be watching box nation that night
Do these big arenas not have metal detectors before entering? Or a quick pat down.
The no bag policy is a very good idea aswell. Rather be safe than sorry.
will sky and bt show the floyd v mcgregor fight on joint ppv be good for all fans then
Why would anyone want to watch that joke exhibition?
Matt Ramsey perhaps it will be a massive event u dont have to watch it but i bet u do
Jermaine Taylor 06 last undisputed. Won the belts from B-hop. But yeah B-hop was the last guy to bring all 4 belts together.
Eddie Hearn is a promoter who is doing his job and fulfilling his part of the contract and he's making his fighters a lot of money he know's what's what and the who said what about who is all part of the sport now, Back in the day Marquess of Queensberry rules i would have thought their were similarity's in the Hype because that's part of paying the bills the public love all that especially the woman L.O.L I think Eddie Hearn is a genuine bloke he's very good at his job and their are always going to be those for and against that's life innit L.O.L A.J. is the future in heavyweight boxing he's going all the way because he's good at his job too and i look forward to watching it happen he's soaking up all what's needed and sure he's not always going to win but he's the better fighter for not becoming complacent and getting the job done all in all they make a great team.
Has Eddie mentioned how many PPV buys the Brook vs Spence card did?
Eddie talks sense, especially for a promoter!
I doubt Mayweather vs McGregor will be on Sky Sports. UFC has a deal with BT. Cant imagine them allowing it to be on Sky.
You're an idiot.
Summertime Brawl is the sort of name the WWE should use
brook did quit mentally the doctors have put thoughts in his head time to retire he was exhausted from makin weight too
Campbell ain't ready for linares! Leave it out Eddie!
You got to many fighters mate
I thought Spence started fast as we all kinda expected but Kell started bossing him after that as Spence started walking back and holding on near the ropes..But you seen Kell's performance start dropping as his eye started causing him problems and i have had the same injury done to me so he quit as he couldnt see he couldnt win from that time so your better saving yourself for the rest of your career,,Plus see when he was holding his eye it bloody feels like its popping out your head.Kell Brook will be better when he has this eye done aswell and going up a weight was what he has to do as its hurting his body going that low.
I had brook up a round or 2 until the 11th.
wow. dont know what u were watching lool. i had brook 4-2 at 6 rounds and then spence winning every single round thereafter. but ultimately after 10 rounds all judges had spence winning, 97-92 96-93 95-94
Eddie Hearn is actually a quality guy I think .. really don't get the hate for him whatsoever he comes across totally genuine and sound and he doesn't mix his words for anybody.. bellews
Comments about Brookhaven clearly annoyed him and he lets it known but in a professional respectful way the way he handled the kugan being barred from Wembley was brilliant as well .. he tried he would of tried harder but he wasn't risking the biggest fight he's ever promoted over some petty shit. Kugan is class too though I love the IFl vids .. if your reading this guys and feel like being kind I'd love to be a guest at a show hahaha ! 😂
I broke.
hahahaha
no ones decision other then kells. how many people would carry on with a broken eye socket let alone have the bollox to get in the ring
To be fair I'm ex army and a true warrior never quits not asif he lost an arm or leg for his hometown crowd he should have fought on just scared of going down like Khan did
Eddehh is the fish an chips of british boxing but needs to give fury a better deal for AJ
Buglioni headlining the o2 😂 . The towie boy is really desperate now !
I have not idea what they were saying before the first question.. 😂😂
Eddie dropping a little Mayweather vs McGregor hint. He's a man in the know ;)
Forget about if Brook quit or not (he did....FACT). What about all these people thumping their chests like experts telling us all how Errol is a "hype job". Where did they go?
Opening a office in NY! We ain't here to take part!!!
His complaining about a saturated state reminds me of an interview I saw with Sting once where he said there was too much music.
He certainly quit. And he certainly made the right decision - if that decision is driven by prioritising his health. He should quit boxing right now - every boxer gets into it knowing that they are risking their health every time they step into the ring - the minute you prioritise your health over continuing to fight is the minute you need to stop. Not a criticism of brook in anyway, he's been an awesome talent (still is), he's just lost it mentally - which is understandable by most human standards!
Eddie seems like a alright guy.
Brook jacked his last two fights. Ali fought with a broken jaw, no balls.
Sorry but some of these comments about Brook been a quitter is fucking ridiculous. Firstly its easy for anyone to slate him sat comfy behind there computers and never have laced a pair of gloves in ther life. I am an amatuer fighter and let me tell you three 2 minute rounds is exhausting, these top pro's are super human and train up to 3 times a day 6 days a week, that on its own is proof that Brook is no quitter, just getting out of bed to run and sticking to a strict diet takes a lot of motivation. Also most fighters would of dodged Spence like the plague and vacated the belt, in other words quit been the champ and move on. After fighting GGG to take a risk in fighting Spence takes massive balls. Then he fracture his eye socket gets blurred vision but most of you want him to forget about his kids at home, forget about his eye sight and forget about his career and continue to fight LOL are you guys fucking nuts!!!
"I'd hate to be going on July 15th..." lol Eddie hates the fact that they can do something without him.
Eddie I'll work at your USA office I beg you
kell brook vs cotto 154
I go to Joshua s church and wore his 🥇 medal
"I don't believe that he can fight with the same intensity, over 12 rounds, that he could at 154lbs" - and what evidence do you have to support that? who's he fought at super welter to back that theory up? His entire career has been built around welterweight, and was the world champ, there's more reason for him to stay at welter than there is for him to move up. Unfortunately, I think it's just sour grapes, Brook appears to be in a bit of a decline since the GGG fight, boxing has weight classes for a reason.
How can you have double vision and not see ??? and how did eddie know that it was the same injury as the GGG fight but on the other eye as soon as he did?? pls answer below
dr mario told him
