Amir Khan and Kell Brook are finally done battling each other, and it was more of a lopsided contest in favor of ‘The Special One’. The fight could have been different if happened several years back. However, the current collision also showcased sheer features of what a prime contest between both men could have turned out to be like.
Well, Khan’s pace didn’t do any good to him, as he fell prey to Brook’s power punches from the very beginning. Khan couldn’t even survive for half of the fight and had to exit after a 6th round stoppage loss. It could be an end to 35-year-old Khan’s in-ring journey, which stands at a record of 34-6 currently.
