    Vargas saying its close to being made at 154 in the States for April, how do you see this going? Vargas was at 140 not too long ago is he big enough for 154.

    Decent fight and will show us exactly what Brook has left.

    Going on Brooks last fight I would expect Vargas to win, probably lately stoppage.

    I don’t particularly rate Vargas but Kell looks physically and mentally shot to bits.

    I’m going with Vargas on points or late stoppage.

    Kell should win if he's got anything left. Telling that it's at 154 though.

    You seen Vargas in his last fight?? As bad as Brook. At 154 Brook wins. Vargas is too small.

    I hope brook can get back to being on a fairly good level, his last fight he looked finished. The sharpness and timing just wasn’t there anymore

    Brook by stoppage

    After this, should be title tilt or retirement

    Why go to the states now?!? Brook should have been there years ago, why now?

    If Brook moves up this time, no more moving down.

    The Brook weight and class of fighter yo-yo continues.....I suppose if he chooses the right belt there is a possibility he could be champion again with one of the orginisations..IF he can get back to close to his best which i highly doubt.

    IF Vargas beats him it is all over for Brook....Personally id like to have seen him fight Jeff Horn or even an eliminator v that Spaniard who just spanked Cheeseman,he looked good but cannot dig which would be a blessing for Brooks broken face

    Coming off two draws and at his best at 140, of course this fight is being made now lol. Shameful if it happens at 154.

    @154 Kell wins. Anything lower its more advantage to vargas who still i don't think has the skill or punch power. Kell win this provided he does the weight and is fit and stong.

    Kell wasn't really enthusiastic about vargas when he was IBF champ i just don't think it excites him much, unless eddie gives him a lot of money. I think he wants a bigger name.

    So Kell Brook Vs Vargas and Callum Smith Vs Barrera , both in the USA

    remember when the best British fighters used to fight in the UK?

    Remember when the UK was supposed to even the 'new Mecca' of boxing?

    Remember when all the money was supposed to be in the UK?

    If this fight happend two years ago it would have been a easy win for Brook but now it just depends what Brook has left.

    Still Vargas would be Brooks best win after Porter and it would be Vargas's best win Brook past it or not.
