    Sounds really, really nice. Jones' workrate and jab vs. Brook's accurate slick style, Gomez' smart aggression vs. Malignaggi's fast boxing, Soto-Karass' heart and determination vs. Porter's explosive boxing, it's just a treat for the fan.

    Whoa, this sounds too good to be true. I have Brook beating Mike Jones (who?), Paulie outpointing Gomez, and Porter outlasting a very determined Karrass

    That'd be a big step up in class for Porter. I'd be very interested in that fight.

    :good

    Big step up up for Brook , is he good enough ?? , someone half decent for Porter , and a half decent fight in Gomez Malignaggi , that while completley irrelevent will be a good fight IMO

    Sounds very good. Not sure if i can see Warren sending Brook abroad though. if he is going to fight Jones, then i see it taking place in England.

    what a night this would be.

    I'm going for Kell Brook via UD
    Malignaggi Via UD
    Soto-Karass Via KO

    what do you reckon? You Americans seen much of Kell Brook?
    Britain has probably its deepest pool of prospects, and at the minute he's one of the better ones

    Good card.

    Gomez-Malignaggi will be interesting, cause Gomez is probably going to try and step to Malignaggi and overwhelm him with aggression, so can Malignaggi get his respect, can he Box going backward and take away Gomez's target?

    You don't see that kind of match-up too often. :clap: Young, undefeated prospects that both look good.

    Oh my bad....It will be a Split Broadcast. Jones/Brook "Across the Pond" while Malignaggi vs Gomez and Porter vs Soto-Karass will be here on US Soil (California). Again...Let's hope it happens.

    Hey Darryl, you sure it was Steve Farhood's Twitter? I don't see it on there.
