    You say all that, but really, do u think he can motivate himself to fight Brook? A guy who's untested, and for all his flash and style etc, still a relatively unknown quantity?
    Jennings may not be shot, but coming off a brutal loss in a career high fight, and then having this long off period, aside from meaningless matches could put miles on anybody's clock.

    Well if Rob is right, as I suspect he is, and this fight is for the interim WBO title, then yes, I do believe Jennings will be motivated.

    Well i hope he is, the guys a class act, gave him stick for getting a fight against Cotto, but who wouldnt have taken the fight, and I didnt know about the interim WBO title being on the line, that changes everything, Maybe Brook/Warren will be underestimating the threat he poses just like i was, and we have a Jennings win.

    Jennings is made for Brook imo, upright stylist very good but very straight forward. Ingle boys love this type of fighter:deal

    Brook within 4

    He was good, won some really good fights at british level, and never really moved up to European level and got a fight for the World Title. A good tidy operator, watch the first 2-3 rounds of the Cotto fight.

    He DID fight well for the first 3 rounds. He certainly did not disgrace himself. If only he had some world level pop, he probably could have put cotto off a bit more. I just don't see past a brook win in this one though.

    Dont remind me of that, I was thinking Cotto was horribly shot and past it after the first 2 and a half rounds, thinking Frank Warren had pulled if off again, and we were gonna have another british world champion, till he landed that thudding left to the liver, all of a sudden, the world turned on its axis, and it was all too familiar.

    He certainly wasnt Gary Lockett lol

    ****ing hell, it was embarrasing watching Lockett!

    You could see the fight drain out of mick, and when he boxed off the back foot, he was turning his body away from Cotto, not exactly hiding the fact he had been hurt!:patsch
    If Mick can box like that against Brook, and keep out of trouble, i think he CAN give Brook problems.
    But Brook is a quick ****er, and will pounce on any mistakes Mick makes. Could be proper cat and mouse this fight

    Its why i've been looking forward to this fight since it was first mooted a year or so ago, but the buggers keep getting injured lol.

    But cant blame Jennings for turning away the way he did, he could have easily stayed down after that first one, he tried gritting it out, but Cotto is one accurate **** with that livershot, i'm shocked he didnt use it against Pacquaio, he kinda went crazy and swinging all over, looking for headshots, rather than his usual systematic style, but then again he claims he couldnt see what Manny was throwing.

    Yeah, i mean i can't knock him for protecting himself against the body shots. Mick didn't ***** out, which i was impressed with.

    Cotta fought a mad fight against Manny. It is like fighters now seem to go to pieces against Manny, and dis-regard their usual tactics.

    Strange how a man can make you do that

    I can't believe people actually believe Brook will even struggle with him? i wouldn't be surprised if Brook finished him quicker tha Cotto.
