They'll meet on July 13th in Hull's Craven Park Stadium. Their first fight was very close and Brook just needs to get back in the ring at thus point. Thoughts?
To be fair, Alexander had an "injury" right around the time when he was led to believe he was a possible opponent for Floyd. Hearn pursued the Alexander fight, I don't see why Kell would pull out if he wasn't injured. Either way, the first fight with Jones was good/close enough to warrant a rematch and Brook shouldn't be able to use the weight-drained excuse again, if he's improved his training methods.
Fightin a C rank fighter again that gave him a tough time. Won't be watching although Jones deserves the rematch.
i was looking forward to brook fighting alexander bc i wanted to see how he looked against a step up in talent....i'm over this guy already and i was never into him in the first place lol
I think people are becoming a little sick of hearing Brook's name instead of seeing him fight. There's nothing wrong with this match-up by itself but after expecting to see him step-up against Alexander, it's a disappointment.
brook will beat him for 12 rounds like he did in the first 6. unless brook is on the ropes, jones wont land anything
Jones will be more prepared this time around and will start pressing from the opening bell,jones by 9th round tko.
Brook has all to lose, you have to give him credit for that......but he has proved nothing and looks like will continue to fight bums
ballsy move by team brook, he stands a decent chance of losing and if he does he can kiss a title shot goodbye....he's already old for a prospect and by the time he builds himself up for another title shot he will proly be pat his prime. Brook is not very good but he deserves props for taking this fight and wanting to erase doubt, a win is big for his ego, legacy and puts him right back into title contention even though Alexander would've spanked him.
This. I'm surprised but happy that he got the much deserved rematch. Carson has been getting some worldclass sparring in Big Bear, he'll come with better skills and a better strategy.
