    Ron Lewis (journo) on twitter...

    Watched most of the Brook-Hatton fight with Amir Khan. From what I saw it was a good performance, but he didn't really dazzle

    Amir Khan: Brook "showed some good power, speed and nice angles. And he controlled the pace well".....

    Khan on Brook (2): "On that performance he has a way to go to be up there with Mayweather or Pacquiao .... or me" (last bit said with wink)"

    I absolutely can not wait for that fight (if it happens). It would be a great atmosphere.

    Always quoted as the best in the UK but he seems to be trying to outdo Buffer these days with the long winded intros

    Mand's right, KHan fans are definitely butthurt. No coincidence they're more critical than the rest of the boxing fraternity. They're worried for sure. He has the timing that Khan doesn't seem to have.

    Not sure really about that, he was different class of that there was no doubt but Hatton was Euro Champ, but its a very average division in Europe if you look deeply, so that takes Kell past that level but he looked almost disappointed himself in the interview.

    You have to hand it to Eddie Hearn he lifted Kell and the crowd with his statement about coming back in the summer, not sure where they go now, he has to look beyond Euro Level so its not an easy task making a meaningful fight because your Berto and Ortiz type characters will be unlikely to come to sheffield without a very big offer.

    Have a horrible feeling he will end up with a Malignaggi or someone similar and whilst that would be a step up its not really where he wants to be.

    Still good performance, disagree about extra gears though, thats an overused phrase and a boxer has what he has, that was it from Brook, it may be good enough or it may not but it will be fun to find out

    :deal This kids on way up, Khan's supposedly good enough to mix with the elite yet his fans always have a hint of hatred towards Brook in there posts.

    Pretty sad Brook's only talked big like Khan did on way up IMO, Brook's got to think about next fight with Eddie has to be a more dangerous type assignment. Someone who will make him think defensively.

    Hatton is Mr.Arruuuum punches :lol:.

    Kell fans getting happy because he beat Matthew Hatton, let's not forget he was no Ricky Hatton. :lol:

    Brook would just make Khan fall short with his spasticated flurries and reply with jarring shots. I have a feeling Brook's ability to turn his jab into a concussive hook might have Khan reeling at the halfway point, rattling Khan around his amateurish guard.
