    Another injury, think Brook won't be getting a title shot anytime soon now.

    To be fair I think Alexander "injured" himself as he probably thought he'd get a May weather fight.

    Not sure about that, he seemed genuinely gutted about it being postponed the last 2 times. Although I suppose it is possible that the longer it went on and the more he thought about the fight, the less he wanted it.

    I think Alexander would comfortably beat him on the cards for what's it worth. 8-4/9-3 type score.

    Why would he duck Alexander, he was his ticket to a world title and future bigger fights.

    Brook struggled bad with Carson. Alexander is more polished than Carson ever will be and being a southpaw, makes it more awkward. Brook was not probably waiting for Alexander to give up the belt and fight a tomato can for a vacant title.

    **** happens.

    He injured his ankle causing the first delay, then Devon hurt his bicep (which was slightly fishy given the timing of the Mayweather tweets) & now he's got a stress fracture.

    Gutted the fight isn't happening but its in no way, shape or form a duck. Except on ESB where it is officially a duck.

    Yea how often does a injury occurs when boxers are training for upcoming fights? VERY LOW

    what the possibility of 2 injury occurring for the same fight NONE

    This is the 2nd time Brook is getting injured for this fight. He's better off fighting Eurobums

    what's funnier is that Brook huggers were claiming Alexander was ducking Brook when he got injured..

    now theyre showing sympathy to Brook on his SECOND injury..

    quack quack :hi:
