I'm not a betting man and I don't know loads about De Luca but he is live in this from the sounds of it. With the layoff and looking less than impressive in his last fight. The weight, struggles the injury's if Brook doesn't spark him impressively or pitch a near shut out I think he's probably done. So often in these fights its where the power difference shows Brook can bang De Luca looks like he's more respectable than a huge puncher even so I wouldn't write De Luca off if, the odds work he might be worth a few quid
I honestly have no idea why people think DeLuca is a live dog in this fight. Even a past it Brook is levels above anything this guy.
He struggled with Zefara and you have to question his motivation at this stage. DeLucas is rightly a heavy enough underdog but he isn't terrible and he's not small for the weight by any means. I certainly won't be backing him at all but if I read the news that he'd pulled off the upset I wouldn't react the way I did when Ruiz beat AJ for example
brook looks a bit mentally fragile i think,seems to be trying to convince himself he's the fighter he once was..Might be just me but he looks a bit aged and tired imo.
I am, but only as I have money in my skybet account. Plus the CST knows his stuff, and Brook hasn't looked too good in his last couple of fights as you say.
was he meant to be levels above Zefara, he's done reasonably well since but Brook was expected to beat him and didn't look great doing so
I agree. He's still trying to chase Khan. He's back to calling out 147 fighters. He's all over the place, desperate for a payday
yep if de luca is tough and game it wouldn't surprise me if he does well here...potential carson jones 1 style.
De-Luca is better than zerafa, but he struggles against southpaws. Brook was southpaw all media warm-up fight and sparring. Not sure he hasn't been fighting as southpaw for more than 1 round for ages (he is actually very good southpaw earlier in his career). lets see if he switches.
He has tried his bollocks off trying to get Kahn, its never happening, Kahn has avoided it for that long ive given up
You lot have got me wanting to put some money on Deluca, haven't had a bet this month so might go for it.
