Take a money grab fight against the most destructive puncher the mw division has seen who mws are afraid to fight and still be called shook by an Adrien broner Stan.
I swear....something is wrong with you guys to constantly want to bring up or say AB's name in relation to things/posts that have nothing to do with him
Yall need help
He took that fight cus no other top ww wanted to fight him.
Kell Shook took the fight, because no other top Welterweight wanted to fight Golovkin?
Did you just come up with that one on the fly breh?
First, fighting Welterweights when you are a Middleweight is laughable on it's own. It was always a sham of a fight based around only $$$ and exposure.
Secondly, there were MWs willing to face Golovkin as well as JMWs......he chose Brook, because Brook had a bigger fanbase in the UK than the other fighters (Andrade, Lara, Khurtsidze, Eubank) who were at the same time period.
GGG got what he wanted, a big fight in the UK, which spread his name overseas to the casuals, and Brook got what he wanted, a big fight in the UK with a career high payday.
There was 0 pressure on Kell Brook to win the fight....all he had to do was show up and receive the biggest purse he will ever receive in a fight. That's a win-win situation lad.
Didn't even get dropped by GGG. Finished on his feet while calling GGG in like a real man.
He was thanking his corner for throwing in the towel in only 5 rounds, because he knew GGG was about to end his career
Breh........he couldn't even last 15 minutes with GGG, how you spin that into a "real man" is hilarious to me
You brought up AB, but he went the full distance vs Maidana....and took less damage than Shook did facing a guy with a LARGER size difference vs Maidana than the height/weight size difference of Shook & GGG
Kell Brook: Trainer saved my career by throwing in towel against Gennady Golovkin

Kell Brook left the O2 Arena on Saturday night with a broken eye socket and will be in hospital on Monday for surgery to repair the damage to his face.
His fifth-round stoppage at the hands of the formidable Gennady Golovkin was in keeping with what many expected.
But while Brook had plunged into uncharted waters by moving up two weight divisions to take this fight, he did not look out of his depth before his trainer, Dominic Ingle, threw in the towel.

Aware that he was in trouble,
he thanked Ingle for the decision to stop the fight, saying: “It could have ended up seriously bad. I came back after the second round and said, ‘I can’t see out of the right eye, Dominic’. He knows me, he saw me growing up as a kid.
“He’s like a father figure.
It was the right decision and I can fight another day. I was getting caught, and getting caught. It could have ended up seriously bad.”
Ingle’s decision was an unpopular one with the 19,000 fans inside the O2 Arena as it meant a thrilling fight ended prematurely and, potentially, deprived some fans of the knockout many they would have been hoping to see. But in the long term, Ingle’s decision could have saved his fighter’s career as much as his health.

Had Brook been left sprawled on the canvas by a typically ferocious Golovkin sledgehammer, his reputation may have been as badly battered as his eye.
Instead, his brave performance – and timely exit from the ring – once again raises the spectre of a possible all-British showdown with Amir Khan, or even a clash with another of the toughest fighters around in Saul ‘Canelo’ Álvarez.
“I felt he would always give Golovkin a great fight,” said Eddie Hearn, his promoter. “So whatever happened, I knew his stock would rise. We honestly believed he could win the fight, but I knew if he did lose his stock would rise – and it did.
“We needed to make an impact on the world scene to make sure we had the value to attract the big fights. Now he does.
“The only worry I had in the fight was that he could get knocked out badly – and that can happen at any time against Gennady Golovkin.”
Hearn said that a fight with Álvarez – which would mean Brook staying above his usual welterweight weight limit of 147lb, albeit potentially at light-middleweight – could be a “natural” fight for the 30-year-old.
But a clash with Khan would prove irresistible, and it would be a contest for which Brook would be happy to return to the welterweight division.
It is the fight British boxing has been waiting for and now both fighters have tried their hands at heavier weight divisions – Khan lost to Alvarez in May – there is a growing feeling that their paths must eventually cross.
While Brook would have woken up to praise from around the boxing world, one fighter not lending his support was Chris Eubank Jr, who tweeted a message to Golovkin saying: “If you want a fight with a real British middleweight … come get some. My corner don’t own towels.”

Shook seen his career flashing before his eyes....he was happy his corner quit for him
Hearn admitting that it was a win-win situation, because even if Brook lost, Hearn knew it didn't matter because his stock would rise regardless due to the exposure
Even Eubank threw shots at the quit job which saved Brook from having his career ended in less than 15 minutes in the ring with GGG
