    Brook is a joke and a bum. Too scared to leave home and fight a live body. At the place that hypes fights.

    Dude is past his mid-20s, has almost 30 fights, and is still being peddled along like he's a prospect. It's frustrating to watch. He's with a promoter who's keeping him wrapped in cotton wool tighter than ever since he almost lost to Carson.

    I can't see it anywhere on there. But if they are going to rob Pacquiao against Bradley imagine what they do to Brook.

    Anyway Brook is taking the IBF route, after he wins his final eliminator he's mandatory for Alexander-Bailey winner. In 6 moths Brook is going to be IBF champion.

    Kell Brooks is a solid Welter and has enough skills to give anyone a good fight if not beat them. I don't get it, is he that intimidated by fighting Bradley in Vegas?

    After seeing what Jones did to him it's hard to not imagine Bradley pummeling him.

    His promoter is just securing the safest route possible. If he wins his next fight, he becomes mandatory (if he isn't already one) for the Bailey-Alexander winner. But it wouldn't suprise me if, based on his trend, he had another soft opponent before taking one of them on for the title. And if he manages to get the title, expect another soft defence or two (whilst calling out Khan) before going anywhere near the likes of Berto, Ortiz, Bradley, or anyone.

    It's seems obvious that Brook wants his next 3 fights to be;

    1 - Final eliminator for the IBF title.
    2 - IBF tilte.
    3 - Ricky Hatton.

    ...and I can't really blame him.

    He can no longer complain that he's being ducked.

    I'm dissapointed, its obviously the smart move as bradley would beat him, but as a boxer you never know when your next world title shot will come.
    I don't lik that there trying to find an easier route to the top.

    Bradley is a very good pressure fighter against a slick boxer due to his ability to swarm and spoil. He UD's Brook

    Yeah I can see that. No guts, no glory. He should of taken the Bradley fight, I think he would of had a very good chance at beating Timmeh, I guess they are looking at the path of least resistance.

    Being mandatory don't mean anything though.

    he's got his shot here. plus winning would mean a potential manny fight after.

    Kell should fight Bradley now instead of hanging around for Alexander who imo looks superior to Tim at 147 and would win a rematch at the weight. Both very hard fights for Kell though, he got skills but lacks the toughness imo

    By the way wassup with Carson Jones, this guy deserves some good fights
