When did I say any of them things iron ****? I'm well aware Bute could have made more money in Canada and was willing to travel to give his resume and creditability a boost. But the fact remains it was a Matchroom promotion, so Hearn paid Bute.
It looks on. Credit to all parties. Matchroom, GBP, Brook & Alexander. Brook tweeted #Andthenew. ODLH quickly followed up with a tweet "Is everyone ready for a welterweight extravaganza in January?"
I really hope it's in Vegas. Gonna be living there then and I don't imagine it will be difficult to get decent seats.
If its in Vegas or NYC thats no prblems I don't think I think Brook would have more fans willing to travel from the UK to Vegas or NY than Alexander would I think this is a very tough fight for Brook though, Alexander is quicker than any one he has fought IMO
Should be a decent fight, though the low grade opposition Brook has been fighting, could well come back to haunt him! Brook could well get his chin tested here, which i think is a bit shaky. I reckon McCloskey could be good to get in for some southpaw sparring, and they could also get in a few fighters, that hold and spoil a lot. Will be nice to see how Kell gets on at world level, as long as he boxes smart and covers his chin, he hopefully do alright in there. He'll need to get a KO to win.
Big step up for Kell. Hats off to him if he wins, I will concede and give him his dues. Alexander is decent though, he's not as bad as some people make out.
