Kell Brook is good, but.....

I've noticed that in his past two fights at least, he's looked somewhat inaccurate with his punches. Especially tonight against Rafael, he was missing quite a bit with the overhand right and lead right hands. His left hook wasn't on either. I like how he's poised in the ring, but sometimes he looks as if he's too relaxed and like he's open to get clocked. I saw ample opportunities for Rafael to land tonight--especially in close.

I just feel that if Brook goes up against a fighter with better speed and overall skills, he is going to have to step up his punching accuracy and also his defensive posture. Because fighting the way he fought tonight I don't feel gets him a win over a top guy like Berto or Ortiz and especially not Khan.

 

Fighting that way against Khan especially would be bad. Kell seems to try to wheel out of position when his opponent attacks and doesn't do so very quickly. There are opportunities to hit him at that point because he keeps his left hand really low once he starts wheeling out. Just a dangerous posture to be in against someone like Amir who will throw 5-7 punch combinations.

I think Kell could make Amir miss some like McCloskey did, but McCloskey was really tuned in and was working his defense at a really quick rate so as not to get caught. Kell just needs to pick up his overall speed once he gets in there with better fighters.

But, I am most def. a fan.
