If Kell Brook beats Bienias for the Intercontinental WBO strap, which is doubling as a title eliminator, who will he be in line to face for a shot at the World Title? Will Pacquiao relinquish his title when he breaks for the political campaign? Assuming he does then Brook would be in line to face either Anton Decaire or Saul Alvarez for the title? Do you give him a shot at winning the world strap, if he gets passed Bienias?
Pacquiao will keep the strap so his fight with Mayweather can be a Unification bout. As long as Pacquiao fights this year he wont get stripped, infact i dont think teh WBO would strip Pacquiao if he didnt fight for 5 years. They would make more money out of 1 manny fight in sanctioning fees than 10 of Brooks. Brook will pick up the interim Belt. Decaire is fighting for the interim WBA title against M'Baye in April (even though they already have 2 champions at the weight lol) Alvarez and Brook will be kept away from one another. Do not be suprised if he ends up fighting Jennings for the vacant interim title.
When Matty Hatton beats Alvarez him and Brook will face off to see who is capable of picking up the hopefully soon to be vacant WBO belt.
:rofl WBA - what a mess. I'd like to see Brook V Jennings but it doesn't seem right that it should be an interim title bout. What chance would you give Brook V Alvarez back end of this year?
hard to rate brook as yet. i mean fair do's he rules at british, but basically untested past british level. Bienas is a good match up in terms of building foreign opposition experiance. I dont think he can move on properly though until he fights jennings, even if it isn't for any type of strap
it would be a good yard stick as to how he would fair right now on the world scene if they fought, bearing in mind jenngins' loss to cotto
I've seen nothing of him. Interested to see if he justfies his ranking. Couldn't believe the odds the bookies had the fight priced up at. Although Jennings obviously came up short against Cotto I don't think that makes him a bad fighter. Would be interested to see either fight.
yea and to be fair jennings shudn't have been sharing a ring with cotto but fair props for having the balls to have a go and headline MSG
absolutely. i think deep down we all knew it would possibly be a bridge too far for jennings, but to be fair he showed some skill in the ring, but someone like cotto, unless you are on his level, will always catch up with you. His body shots that fight were awsome.
