    With the fuel strikes imminent and only half a tank left in his car, i think the furthest Brain rose gets to is Bristol.

    Not very far, he gets hit far too much. Someone with power will knock him out.

    Most people on here felt Prince Arron would beat him.

    Except me of course!!

    Love to see Brian take on Hall, classic boxer v fighter tear up.

    He's definately got skills, but he lacks real power to deter guys walking him down aswas clear tonight. Maybe European level if he's matched right?

    Hall ochieng and selkirk??? behave yourselves!! Hall is well past it. Ochieng cant bang and Brian is a better boxer than him. Selkirk is the best of the 3 and he is untested at this level. Selkirk isnt worth of a title shot yet.

    Decent boxer with a lot of heart, but he takes too many shots and doesn't bang hard enough.

    Brian Rose is very good technically and his fights with Aaron and Maxwell have helped him develop strategically. He needs to work on developing his power.

    I am all about technique when it comes to power but if he can't find it then he needs to do some training geared towards it. His psychologist looks like she knows her way around the weights room :) If he still can't find his power then he has find his best punch and choose when to let it go heavy or break them down to the body to make getting stoppages easier.

    Rhodes, Webb, Cox, Hall - there are skilled, talented and hard styles to beat. He could win the Lonsdale outright and perhaps look to the Commonwealth. If Rhodes wins the European then that would be a litmus test at the Euro level but also a tester on the world stage.
