29-0...... He's won 3 title eliminators it looks like, but he's afraid to step up and challenge a champion.
When it's safe for him, Kell wont take risky fights Kell declined a shot at the champion Bradley to fight a 12-1 underdog nobody in Saldivia that should be telling you all you need to know about Brook
Listen to his post fight interview from last night, or his trash talking interview with Khan from Ringside. He's ready, it'll be one of them.
Special K needs to step it up. Quick time. Bradley was there for him on a plate yet, he duck it. He needs Alexander. Leave khan alone he aint in your division Special K, and neither is Hatton.
"Leave khan alone he aint in your division Special K, and neither is Hatton." Hatton is in his division and Kahn soon will be..
this is my hate about brook , a do think he could mix it up with the big boys in the divison, jus needs to step it up
http://www1.skysports.com/boxing/ne...hy-Bradley-after-beating-Carson-Jones-in-July Fair enough but Brook goes some way to justifying it. If/when he fights Bradley or another belt holder he wants to be a belt holder himself so that he is in a position to dictate terms. Clearly he likes Sheffield and he packs stadiums so fair enough. If he wins the IBF and then fights Bradley but has got some more money out of then Brook and Hearns will see it as a better decision. Bradley clearly rates him seeing as he offered him a shot at the title. Brook still has time and provdided he takes the IBF in 2013 he can still fight Bradley and I'm backing him to beat Alexander, then shatter Khan's glass and then fight another belt holder in a unification bout.
It was a duck and Bradley did the same to khan, but also it was an incredibly lame offer and Brook's team knew what path to take him down a shot at a world title and possibly after that a money spinning fight vs Khan/Hatton...good path if you ask me as a fan as i would prefer to see him fight Khan than watch Bradley butt him all night!!
Not his fault the sanctioning body keeps putting him in an eliminator after another........ also the IBF belt is more worthwhile than the WBO. His only one fight away now from a title shot now anyway.
The only reason Kell won't take a fight with Alexander in the next 90 days, is if Alexander opts to unify.
Saldivia isn't a "nobody." Forget the fight odds, and look at his record. Plus, the guy has terrific KO power. His problem is his chin, as we saw. This was not an automatic win for Brook, it was a good test before moving up. He's clearly been working hard with his S&C coach, and his power has improved. - Maybe he felt he wasn't ready for Bradley back then, but now he certainly is & we should expect to see him make a strong move up.
