That "glass chin" words seem to be the most written words and I can see where's that coming.

Just don't mind it, soon we will stop talking about that because this fight is going to finally happen 2 days from now. It's Sunday in my timezone and that is my rest day, so I will definitely reserve some time to watch this fight, I'm just hoping I'll be able to watch it through live streaming as our local cable does not provide a free telecast of this fight.

I'm sure they will land power punches against each other since they are both skilled boxers but who has the tougher chin though? We already know from his past boxing matches that that is Khan's real weakness so I am siding with the bookies and going for Brooks.
That's a pretty niche factor to decide who's going to win, I am pretty sure that Khan is aware of that and he is probably preparing to do a counter if not defense. Brooks is a good fighter too but I don't have the confidence that he will be the winner in this one although I am still indecisive with Khan too.

It's because we have seen Khan fight before and his first lost was a knockout in the first round.

And then we have seen Canelo blasted him in just one punch because his chin can't hold against powerful puncher. And so Brook has a decent to quality power that once it hit Khan square in the face, there is a big possibility that he will have a lanky legs and will go down from the power. Of course he can hide and play defense but it won't win fights.

Exactly, he cannot win by just hiding, he can follow what Rigo did in his last fight and you see how the judges scored the fight. He is fighting in their home town, he cannot play safe, he need to gain the respect of the fans by bringing an entertaining fight and that means he has to take the risk.

I don't see it will happen, of all the fights of Khan, he is aggressive, so I expect the same Khan who was an exciting fighter to watch before he got KO due to his glass chin. That "glass chin" words seem to be the most written words and I can see where's that coming.

Final press conference of the fight:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v8qrcdNnNg

Both predicted a knock out victory, Khan says that Brook is obsessed with him and has been a fanboy. And he did train in the US with Team Crawford and will put Brook on his place. Brook simply said that he will go for the knock out. And both predicted that this is going to be a war.

With about to happen in this match, we may indeed see a toe-to-toe fight if both sides are well-prepared.
This is good for the boxing fans, at least, our time will not be wasted to watch their fight.
We may possibly see an upset if Khan is very confident with himself about his training.
But Brook is still the favorite of bookies here. Upset can always happen anyway.

Yeah, with too much animosity between the two way back, (Brook telling story about their amateur days), for sure this is going to be a explosive fight, and we will see moments wherein they are going to fight toe to toe, and you really can't imagine how the loser will take this fight because there is too much in the line although this two boxers are way past their primes already.
But you have to admire Amir Khan's confidence in this fight, Lol, he said that he is going to put hurt on Brook? Yeah, seems to have a history of bad blood between the two, and both are that confident that they can win. As we have been discussing though, that chin is really Amir's weakness and whatever he said in this press con is nothing when they go inside the ring.

I haven't really been in the loop of boxxing fights regarding professional boxxers like Kell Brook so this might be a little bit naive of me to ask, however I still feel the need to ask as I am a bit curious: Why does everyone keep saying that Kell Brook is going for Amir Khan's chin in the fight and if he does not, it would be a waste?

Did Khan have a chin injury or is that just somehow Kell Brook's special move? To go for the opponents chin?

Seems like a typical practice in boxxing anyhow, so is there any need to say anything much about it?

Check Youtube and use the keyword Amir Khan all losses and you'll find out why he is called glass chin most of his losses are coming from punch in the chin, the Canelo fight is very popular because it only took one punch in the chin to knock Khan out and it's a very worrying knock out because he was out in the middle of the air with his head banging in the floor of the ring.

Really? Well that does sound like something he should have learned / trained to guard for, by now. If he keeps losing because of his supposed "glas chin", then it only makes sense to build up some kind of future defense against it during his next opponents fights.

You really can't train your chin, it's either you really have a weak chin that can't take punch or not. Unfortunately, that is Khan's weaknesses.

But I am guessing his opponents love that weakness very much, it must be something like a "press here to win instantly" button. The Canelo fight does seem quite interesting, excuse me while I go and take a look Cheesy

Of course, they know that Khan doesn't take punch easily, that's why they are willing to give Amir some confidence early, just like what Canelo did when they fought. he just allow Khan to dictate the fight in the early goings and then it just take one punch to finished the fight. And what's ironic is that Khan stay longer in the canvass than the entirety of the fight.

He's well aware of that since most of his losses is because of his glass chin.
If he wants to toughen his weakness, he should've done it a long time, but he chooses to train on his speed and agility forgetting his weakness. One open spot and his whole chin is an automatic knock down spot.
If his opponent is smart, he'll probably will take an opportunity to knock him down by countering all his offensively strike finding an opening on his chin.

That's a no-brainer, his opponent will always target his weakness but if he start it well and he can hurt his opponent, then we can expect that he will win. Kell Brook is also a tough opponent but also has some weakness as recently he is already losing on some of his fights, so this is really a good match for  Khan although his weakness still exist.

You own the pen
But you know, when Khan is hit on the face, he forgot that he has a china chin and will engage. That's what happen to his many fights, when he is ahead on scorecard or at least have control of the fight. Suddenly when he felt the power of his opponent, he will go toe to toe as if he needs to prove something. Very manly but it could prove wrong for him against Brook. So that is what we are going to wait in this fight. Brook touching Khan's weak spot and see how Amir will respond.

Can't wait for the fight tomorrow along with Ancajas this is really a close fight since those two are capable of knocking out each other. Khan is still fast and can deliver a deadly blow to his opponent's weak spot before he gets those hits that will knock him out. I have a feeling that this fight won't last long since those two are power punchers. either way, I'm happy to see Khan back for a boxing fight wchich he really likes and hope the fight ends really well.

It should be 100% to expect that both boxers will try to land their strong power punches as they can when they meet. It's not always about the chin but a good and heavy body blow can destroy a boxer's defense. If one of them can land a fatal blow, that would break the boxer's defense and will allow their next set of punches to land without a problem on their opponent.

But don't get overhype. These 2 boxers don't have the same boxing power level as before. The fight will end at Decision.

Well Brook already knows Khan's weakness and Khan already know that he cannot just go toe to toe or fully engage against he can do hit and run just like what he did against Canelo, Brook is not really as strong as Canelo he just has to box him he is a better technical fighter although underdog if he can play his strategy right he'll have a good chance of winning, For Brook if he can connect his power punches to Khan's weak spot, the fight will go to his favor.

^ Yes, odds are just a guide for us bettors, but if you don't bet then definitely this odds is nothing because you are going to go with your favorite boxer.

But for boxing fans who knows the history between this two, Amir Khan is more exposed because he has a weak chin. And that is why Kell Brook has been favored by sport bookies in this fight.

Most of the time our favorite fighter is also the favorite in the betting odds, so there's no difference. Odds is for bettors and if you are just purely enjoying the game without betting, you don't need to worry about the odds, but of course, for gamblers, betting what watching, that is the best type of entertainment we are expecting.
You nailed it, betting adds some enjoyment while watching the fight, bookies is giving some hint but knowing how boxing industry was, upset is not new to this venue of sport. There are many cases where favorite are being knocked down by the underdog, if you are one of Khan fans and you want to spice something while watching the fight.

Betting for him gives you more if, in case he beat Brook, you place your bet as early as now or you can actually bet in during the
fight.

We can enjoy watching the fight if we will bet according to our belief, if we think the underdog will win, then we should not be afraid in the first place, besides, as long as you know how to gamble within your limit, losing should not be a big deal for you, it's just normal, but when you win, there's always a celebration afterwards.

Yeah, he was great until his weakness was exposed. His boxing skills are good but he doesn't have a strong chin so every time he makes a mistake, there's a chance that he will be knocked out, and probably that's the reason why he is the underdog in this fight.

This might well be the last fight of both fighters I hope they finish this fight with both of them in good condition, Amir suffers a lot of bad losses in the past, I hope he will not suffer a knockout here and they retire in good health, both of them have great careers they should enjoy what they worked for their retirement years and that is financially stable.
