Maybe it is just me, but not enough body punches and is not so good on the frontfoot as he is on the back?
I think his stamina and speed can be questioned at times. Other than that he has a great boxing brain and has a sweet jab!! :good
Nose gets broke from a good jab Doesn't seem to mentally handle getting hit well, retreats and becomes tight.
Not to worry? You're going on as if he is an arrogant boxer? He is a skilled down to earth boxer. Why all the hate?
Everyones pretty much listed all of his problems. In my opinion, I think his biggest problem is that he comes across as mentally weak and doesn't really believe in his own ability. Theres no real conviction when he speaks about potential opponents bar Khan. Even his own promoter has spoken about him lacking confidence. As soon as he fights the likes of Maidana, Guerrero, or even Berto, its over for Brook at world level.
His stamina is questionable. Or maybe down to how he uses it, he needs to conserve. Defence isn't very good either. I've seen all his fights in the last few years, but judging more on the Carson Jones performances. Felt like both times he was exerting too much to win his rounds. Trying really hard for a knockout, without being crude, but exerting a lot at the same time. Khan does something similar, especially with his footwork in the early rounds. When watching him against Jones last weekend, although it was clear he was out to make a statement, it felt as if he could've won rounds alot easier. He needs to work on his counters as he has speed and decent power.
