The corner used to throw the towell in and it was recorded as a retirement but has obviously now changed. If you remember Liston stayed in his corner against Ali and that is recorded as a retirement not ref stopped fight.

Why does the BBC show it as the ref stopped the fight rather than as it was his corner retired him by throwing in the towell. IMHO Golovkin would do the same to Eubank Jnr.

A game effort by Brook but the power of Golovkins punches proved too much for him. Good to see his corner concerned about him and retiring him.

I struggled to make the 147lb limit in fact at 830am I was 1lb over the weight completely naked so it was a mass sweat to loose that 1lb and made it with ounces or so to spare but it was wrong because it drained me..

I shall look later when I get home as I have a much more pressing engagement at 3pm. I assume it will be quite late 10 or 11pm.

Thanks, that a definite no go then.

I assume it is on TV if so what channel?

I once had to sweat it out to make Light Welter at 10am weigh in and was then given steak and locked in the guardroom to sleep until the evening. It didnt work as my arms felt like lead and I lost but sports science wasnt as advanced back in 1961.

I read in the papers Golovkin wants to unify all of the titles but he said he isnt the best in the world as his twin brother is better than him.

I hope that he wins on Saturday but cant see it sometimes boxers can move up 1 weight division and hold their own but it is rare they can go up 2 divisions, usually the jump is too big but I hope he does it.
