Stoppage was uncalled for /way too early.  :(

I thought it was a good stoppage. Brook was in a shell, wasn't punching back and just surviving the whole round. He was just going to take further unnecessary punishment and his trainer knew it.

GGG missed a lot of those shots IMO.

It was a good fight, Brooks turned out to be a decent opponent to GGG, it was weird to see Him going the extra mile to the latter rounds, since He's got us spoiled watching destroy rivals in the early rounds. We'll see if Canelo still plays the ducking game and finally sets up a date with GGG, would love to see that match happen....

Yeah, he did miss a lot. But Brook wasn't firing anything back. He was just in survival mode. He was done.

Brook Vs Khan and GGG Vs Canelo next hopefully.

I had it rather even going into the 5. That being said, I agree with the stoppage, Brook still had a bit of fight in him, but was getting knocked around pretty regular in those exchanges. I'm pretty sure the corner knew something bad was happening with the eye, so in the name of safety, and all that....
