“I’ll be back and I’ll be twice as strong and twice as fast”. “Sorry I couldn’t bring it home tonight”.

The tweet drew plenty of criticism from those on Twitter, with Barry Hearn – father of Brook’s promoter, Eddie – describing it as “shameful”.
Brook, 30, is the reigning IBF welterweight champion and had jumped two weight divisions to fight the Kazakh boxer but was defeated for the first time in his career of 37 professional fights. But that failed as well so Ingle just lobbed the towel at the official…… GGG was a star amateur and the 2004 Olympic silver medalist for his native Ukraine and has over 300 amateur fights.
“I think I would be more suited at 154”, said Brook.
But his eye socket was smashed by one haymaker from the champ and Brook admitted he never stood a chance when Triple G started to give him double vision.
“I was starting to settle into it but when you see three, four, five of them, it’s hard”.
Brook, who was whisked straight to hospital after the fight, said: “I’m devastated”. Maybe they will see the reaction and there will be more of an incentive to get in the ring.
The press release from Lee’s team explains that the 32-year-old is now back in the gym and it describes him as “a formidable opponent for any of the top middleweight fighters such as Danny Jacobs, Gennady Golovkin, Canelo Alvarez and Miguel Cotto”.
“Golovkin, no problem at all, I should imagine you should be around for a couple of days and I’ve been on to my management this morning, we’ll definitely get it on”. ‘I was talking to him, and he knows me, he saw me growing up as a kid.
Kell Brook insisted he could see “fear” in Gennady Golovkin’s eyes when they weighed in for their WBC and IBF middleweight title fight. Golovkin said after the fight that he “didn’t feel” Brook’s punches, and that the Englishman is “not so strong”. “But he’s not a middleweight. I would fight him again, with a good eye”.
“I was tricking him, his shots were coming underneath and I was frustrating him”. He just touched but I didn’t feel his power. In the heat of the moment the crowd wanted it to continue, it had been a thrilling fight, but Ingle was saving Kell from taking too much punishment. It was the right decision and I can fight another day.

Gennady Golovkin remained undefeated on Saturday night (Sept. 10), punishing Kell Brook up until the fifth round when his corner threw in the towel. Well done, champ! You ARE the best pound for pound fighter in the world! “We knew over time we’d break him down”, he added. You don’t know which one to hit.
