Good performance tonight, shame the stoppage will outshadow how well he boxed. so who next? Malignaggi Berto Senchenko any of them 3 will be good tests and are all winnable.
I don't think he'd beat Berto, even with all his flaws. Malignaggi is worthless now - no belt, not much good anyway, at a weight he holds no advantages at. Brook wins most likely. Senchenko - I'll need to give him more of a watch before posting an opinion.
All three to be honest, go over to America and take on Berto next, will be a real acid test for him and then he can take on Senchenko for the world title, not sure where that fight would be, then have his first defense against Malignaggi in Sheffield, Malignaggi is a known name in the UK and the fight would be marketable.
Yup, and if he's fighting on the Dec 17 bill with Froch/Ward, Malignaggi will create a lot of hype on the east coast for this contest. :thumbsup
Senchenko is solid, nothing more. I personally would have Brook a heavy favourite. Senchenko is reluctant to fight anybody world class it seems :-(
Really Laz? Anybody with a stiff and accurate jab has a great chance of beating Malignaggi, As much as you dont want to admit it Brooks jab is very good.
Who has Senchenko beat anyway? Nuzhnenko thats about it. Not very impressive, Matt Hatton beat him easily. He's 33 years old has never fought a living body. It's a European level fight for a world title against a guy with mediocre power, its a no brainer fight if you're a promoter to try and make that. Then once you've got a world title you're actually a bit more relevant.
EddieHearn Eddie Hearn Ok..we are ready..big @SpecialKBrook announcements soon.. We have something very special here Britain!
The problem would be getting Senchenko to sign on the dotted line, he is happy fighting euro level fighters in his hometown.
Brook wasn't square on tonight which was good. Then again its when he's in a defensive posture he tends to do that and his opponent never threw a punch so its hard to tell. I wouldn't be too worried about any of these names. Berto's obviously dangerous in some senses, he's faster than Brook for handspeed and maybe more powerful. But he's not consistent, Brook may well be able to outwork and outbox him with his jab. That fight would be a calculated risk, probably wouldn't make it next but if its made why not? It's hugely winnable.
