Brook: 36-0-KO25
Golovkin: 35-0-KO32
On the line: WBA, WBC, IBF and IBO middleweight titles
Prediction: Brook to go 36-1
A 2x division step up is a huge challenge in a normal week but a 2x division step up to fight GGG is the pugilistic equivalent of climbing Everest without the aid of oxygen. Brook’s technical superiority should see him into the middle rounds but it’s hard to see him keeping Golovkin at bay and staying out of the hitting zone for the duration. Brook is very good, but not GGG good. Golovkin by TKO in the 7th.
