It’s sad with Khan - an incredibly skilful fighter and formerly world class. But I feel he never reached his potential.

I enjoyed that. Not been a Khan fan, feel like he's been hyped beyond his ability. Brook has been a better fighter for me.

Khan has to be done now. Surely. As for Brook, he should quit too. He doesn't need to do it any more.

First round was one of the most explosive starts I've seen for a big fight, but from round 2 onwards there was only gonna be one winner, fair play to Khan he took some punishment but going to the end, but it must be retirement now for him.

I can see Brook cashing out in a fight with Conor Benn.

Total domination from Kell, glad the ref stepped in before Khan was severely hurt.

Yeah, it was a good stoppage.  One fight too far for Khan against an opponent who seemingly still had something left in the tank.

Should be Brook's last fight as well as fighting some of the names being mentioned post fight would be a completely different proposition, but I guess the lure of one more big payday is tough to turn down.

Enjoyed the fight. Glad Brook won, I’ve never been a Kahn fan really. But fair play he went out on his shield , took some great shots and a honest and respectful interview afterwards. Refreshing to see a loving fighter say they’d had a great camp. Usually there’s excuses.

Khan has to retire , Brook should. Eubank is too big for him.

He’s said he “Doesn’t like Eubank” now, so might go looking for that.
I don’t really follow boxing, but from what little I’ve read Eubank jr would be too good

Brook was better than I expected & Khan was worse than I expected. As previously mentioned the fight should've happened years ago. They've both made a lot of money & both are healthy so time to walk away with their heads held high.

Sadly I can see Brook being tempted with another lucrative payday! Hope I'm wrong!

Blimey that was like 2 blokes fighting outside the pub after both having 10 pints of strong ale.

Yep, bizarre stuff.  That Puerto Rican kid looked good though and the Taylor fight should be good.

Time for Josh Taylor - surely Britain’s best boxer at the moment? Hope I haven’t jinxed him now :-)

I think it'll be too one-sided to be good, but Taylor will be worth watching.
