Well, they probably thought, “worst case scenario is he loses”, not, “he might get actually mangled”

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
It's Golovkin though. It wasn't someone who was unknown a la Prescott v Khan. EVERYONE knew who he was and what he'd done. Went through everyone but Canelo at MW.
If I have a new World Champion on my books, I don't think I'll put him in with the world's scariest puncher who was two weight classes heavier than him. There's giving him a challenge and then there's negligence. This was very much a case of that.
A blind man knew what was going to happen, FFS. Same with the Khan and Canelo fight. Just fecking idiotic.
Andrade, Murata or maybe Golovkin.
Whether he beats them is another story but they’re his most likely of paths..
Yes. Those are the paths. Which means he ain't going to be a world champion. He's B rate.
Oh I fully agree with you. Maybe Brook pushed for it?
He did a better job on Williams than Andrade, Murata is 36 and Golovkin is 39.
He has a good a chance now than he will ever have..
Yeah that's possible. If I remember correctly, it was announced about 2 or 3 weeks after Khan's fight with Canelo was announced, so it very well could have been a case of an idiotic game of top trumps as to who gets pulverised quicker...
Brook was just tired of waiting for a big fight I think. And yes wanted to out do Khan as well for sure.
He's not going to be #1 in his weight division but he may well end up with a belt.
His management will await a good
opportunity for him and manoeuvre him into a challenging position particularly if he takes the scalp of Brook or another Gatekeeper first.
Edit
Can see Brook fighting and losing to Eubank then matched vs Benn Jnr both on PPV as his cash outs.

Canelo being a goat as usual I see
Yeah class fight. He's a breath of fresh air with his activity compared to nearly all modern day fighters. Not only that, but he takes on some great challenges.
Looking forward to seeing Taylor tonight, expect him to stop Catterall.
Got near ringside seats tonight. Can’t wait!
I was in same situation for the Baranczyk fight.Got near ringside seats tonight. Can’t wait!
Great venue
I’d love to see Taylor get beat here, thinks far too much of himself and is a bit of a prick..
Catterall has gone under the radar hasn't he? What an awkward fighter.
Taylor getting a bit of a beat down by all accounts.
Christ he's getting pasted. If Catterall can keep the pace then Taylor will need a big shot to turn the momentum.
One more shot and he’s outa there.
Incredible from Catterall so far.
Defence has been top notch, sharp, completely boxed rings round Taylor!
Got away with some holding if we're being fair but still..

Point off.
Catterall tiring?
You just knew the ref wanted to make a name for himself. Taylor has been landing alot back of the head.
I'd imagine he's tired but not unreasonably so, Taylor is a physical beast that's for sure.
To be fair that point was probably coming.

Looked like kidney punches too.
Point off Taylor!
Well you can't say the ref has been biased.

And again...
Catteral has won that. Will he get the decision?
I've seen Ricky Burns and Other Scottish fighters get dodgy wins/draws in Scotland. Anything but a Catterall win is bent.
Just waiting for a draw here.
Shocking decision.That’s bent
What the feck!
What a robbery.
feck you boxing. Theft
Boxing is hell bent on killing public interest, as inept as premier league‘s use of VAR is boxing is still the srandard bearer for pure corruption.
Isn't Victor Laughlin Scottish?
How can that happen?
How can that happen?
What a disgrace!
What's the fecking point?!

The most deflated I’ve felt in a long time after a boxing event. Devastating.
Good old fashioned robbery that.
He’s a bent bastard, always giving dodgy decisions.
