    This is an excellent fight for Brook to take right now.

    It will answer a lot of questions about him.... even though N'Dou isn't a banger he'll certainly test Kell's ability to take a punch far more than his previous opponents put together..... and can obviously maintain a fair pace for the full 12.

    Brook came across pretty well on Ringside (apart from the Pacquiao stuff) and it was pleasing to hear him say that he's sick of being spoonfed some weak opponents over the past couple of years.

    Matchroom really are pulling out all the stops.

    Its certainly a step in the right direction though and it should give Kell some rounds to demonstrate a bit what he is made of. I like this fight

    We will be able to see how Kel compares with Magic Matt after this fight

    Kell is levels above Matthew. He has a brilliant jab and could just outbox n'dou for 12 rounds, I think he stops him though.

    This is more like it, ive never doubted Brook`s skills, but the opposition just aint been up there. This fight will tell us alot about where Brook is at. Matchroom could save boxing by the way they are going.

    I think this is a great fight for him. Not too much of a test to overwhelm him but enough so that it fight actually force him to show what he's got. Probably the perfect opponent to push him just far enough.

    I think might have some problems but should be able to earn a decision win. This is a much better opponent, all credit to Matchroom for getting him an opponent that might punch back.

    Agreed.

    I am glad that he is going to start mixing it with international names that give the impression he wants bigger things.

    N'dou will want to win and he can pull an upset. He is better than domestic bouts and weak Euro opposition.
