Brook/Saldivia weigh in

Hahaha....Racing't Snake kidda!

Love his style me, right up there with the fighters I enjoy watching.

Sure he will become a world champ me!

 

If he looks drained you would say he has to be drained then yeah?

So hes got no fluids in him right???

Why is he clearly drinking fluids right before the weigh in then in plain sight for all to see???

Sorry if I came over as a ****.... OOOOOOOOOOHHHH YEAHHHHHHH! :good

 

Who does he beat to become World Champ though?

IBF maybe his most likeliest route, the route they are going. Although, I believe Alexander beats Bailey for the IBF, and I think Alexander beats Brook. In America or in Sheffield. If Bailey somehow manages to clock Alexander and defends the belt, then I think he is there for the taking and Kell will win the belt of Bailey.

 

Not gonna put on lbs within seconds of stepping on the scales sipping a drink. They rehydrate as soon as they walk into the weigh in, if they are well on weight.

On the cut though, it's a different story, and for those that struggle to cut weight, they reduce the fluids intake thus making them look drained. They will cut like f*ck to weigh in and then as soon as they are of the scales, they drinking and eating ready for fight night.

 

He looks a little drawn around the face but he will look better tomorrow IMO. Fluids and Food on board, a good nights rest and a good sweat on and Kell will look good as new.

 

So after fighting this level type fighters, Kell will go over and beat Alexander for his IBF belt(barring he beats Baliey) i will be really impressed but i dont see it happening, Eiddie should of stepped up Kells comp sooner the jump from this level to Alexander in U.S is a big jump.

 

If Brook wins this final eliminator, he is number 1 with the IBF and Hearn has tday talked about a spring match up with Bailey/Alexander. Think Brook nails Bailey personally, tougher fight against Alexander however, but its winnable if fought right for Brook IMO. We all see Alexander taking the belt tmorra, but Mike Jones probably thought he had it also! So punchers chance as always!

I would like to believe that Brook can out box Alexander, especially if he keeps this new fitness/diet carry on up and keeps a good stamina level up between bouts he should be able to go 12 with the best in the division.

Lets hope he can come out on top, we'll just have to see on that one.

 

Im more interested how saldiva looked in his last fights coming from that 1 rnd stoppage from that Moroccan cat, Said (syed).

 

Aye maybe so pal.

Fact is none of us really know what methods he has used eh.

Lets see how he goes tmorra.

 

Fair point....But lets say he did, and we all seen Kell after round 6 vs Jones, Kell might have come unstuck and the wheels would be off now.

Who knows?

 

Who said that?

I think Alexander beats Brook, either here, or over there.

Personally, I think it needs to happen in America, because ultimately thats where Kell needs to go, and experience is good to get, he's already had one fight, a few more before top fights, doesn't hurt.

Although, I think the fight will be here, because Alexander ain't gonna sell sh*t compared to Brook in Sheffield. And where the money is.....the fight is.

Assuming Alezander beats Bailey, which I think he will quite easily, I think it's a very difficult fight for Kell vs Devon. I would fancy Brook vs Bailey though, IF, IF, IF Bailey somehow beats Alexander.

Devon Alexanders resume is top class, nobody can take that away from him, "loosing" only one fight to the serial headbutter Timothy Bradley on a Technical Decision.

Just look at the record guys:

Kell ain't fought ANYONE of the class as some of these fighters. His toughest was arguably Matthew Hatton, which he made easy work, but struggled against Carson Jones, widely unexpected and unknown.

Just looK: Corley, Witter, Urango, Kotelnyk, Bradley, Matthysse, Maidana and now Bailey.

 

Brook looks ripped alright but noticeably smaller than his opponent.

 

Alexander arguably lost two of those, didn't he?

 

Anyone know what Saldivia is like?

Never seen him... Seems a decent record but don't recognise any names?

edit: would you consider him better or worse than Carson Jones?
