IBF Welterweight Champion of the World Kell Brook has another tough defence on his hands this week. After two easy defences against overmatched rubbish, tomorrow he steps up his P4P claims with a much tougher fight in his 36th fight against the bloke who has lost twice to the overmatched rubbish he beat two fights ago. Needless to say, an impressive win will show everyone just how good Brook is and enhance his claims to be one of the best fighters in the world, while we wait for him to fight someone decent again for fully the second time in his career. I can't wait. MTF :blackcloud:
Spence has Indicated he'd Be Willing to Fight Overseas, if that's What it Takes... Surely Brook WON'T Vacate...The Title is the ONLY Bit of Legitimacy he Has... REED:hammert:
Brook will find a reason to legitimise it. Too many demands, too much hassle, whatever it takes. I HOPE he doesn't. That would be a fight worth watching. MTF
Bizier is a honest, decent fighter. But he's barely above the local level. THis should be a rout. Brook really seems to be a guy with zero ambition. As for Spence, he has to get pas ALgieri first (which he should). After that fight, we will know if he's a credible challenger or not
If Brook-Spence doesn't take place, I'd be all for Garcia-Brook. And Brook has said he'd be willing to travel for that fight. Hopefully either gets done.
Brook's overall reluctance....not anything to do with what happened to him in Tenerife is it? :dunno:
Smell telling his usual lies, claiming he's going to be making 'the big fights' next. Same old, same old. MTF
Just watched the fight on Youtube. Bizier is a basic ass fighter, but still, Brook destroyed him in style. At this point, I feel Brook might in fact beat Thurman. And I'm VERY confident he would fuck up Cherry Garcia. After Spence destroys Algeri, Brook vs Spence will be THE fight to see at 147. I think they're the two best welters in the world. BTW, back to Brook vs Khan.... it's basically a mismatch. I wouldn't give Khan a shot in Hell. SOON as Brook lands that right cross, bum ass Khan will be on queer street. And Brook is a good finisher. I think Brook would dispatch of Khan inside of 4.
Brook-Khan was always a mismatch. And the fact that Khan weaseled his way out of that fight everytime it was offered, suggests to me that his team knew it too. Imagine that right hand landing on Khan's chin... Forget it. Brook slaughters him any night of the week. And yes, I think Brook clearly beats Garcia as well. Stylistically, that would be a rather easy fight for Brook, I must say. Mainly due to the speed of both hand and foot. Brook is quicker handed than Garcia, and he can get in and out of range before Swift can do anything about it. Brook-Thurman would be a good fight but I lean towards Brook. Faster and more skillful.
Thurman is more affffletic than Brook, but Brook is better technically and punches much straighter. He's also taller and rangier, which is another problem for Thurman. Brook, Spence, and Thurman are definitely the three best welters in the world. Garcia would lose to all three. He looked like SHIT against Guerrero IMO. Brook would have killed Guerrero.
Brook is without a doubt a very good fighter and a special talent. But we don't know his real worth, yet . IN fact, against Porter, I think it could have gone either way (wasn't paying too much attention though).
He beat Porter clear as day. Seems to have more a confidence about him since Porter. Spence and Thurman are the only two with a case to beat Brook. We all how highly I think of Spence, and yes, I'd pick Spence to beat Brook as I think EJ is special. But even I admit it's no sure thing. Brook is by FAR the most dangerous fight for Spence at 147. Brook would smoke Khan early. He'd be too sharp and rangy for Bradley and would clearly decision Timmy the Fireman. And I think he'd stop Garcia. Danny Gift never met a right hand he could avoid and he's a looping ass puncher. Brook's right hand would get to the target before Garcia's left hook everytime.
"Special" talent is an exaggeration. He ain't Roy, Floyd, or Leonard. I mean, he's not even a top 5 talent currently P4P. But, he's very talented and a top fighter. I underrated for him years. Coming up I thought he was an Andre Berto level fighter. But clearly he's a lot better than Berto ever was.
