Brook's opponent pulls out, African guy steps in

That, along with good, tested fighters

See: Kevin Mitchell

 

brook's gonna **** himself when he get's onto the world stage.

he aint going to be ready.

 

the difference between Mitchell and Brook is the level of sparring. Mitchell was sparring mark alexander and his brother in the build up to katsidis. Brook spars guys like Rhodes, Witter and so on.

i agree he is under prepared for world level but at least he is fighting wrold class guys in the gym.

 

Sparring is a bit like five a side or touch and pass though, especially in Britain where the sparring partners aren't going to be as good..... because the partner is likely to be a potential opponent at some stage.

Mitchell was woefully underprepared for facing a man like Katsidis..... alright he does have some limitations but has at least proven his ability to give and take a punch at world level.

Kevin's best opponent was Carl Johanneson, who is a smaller, chinnier, nowhere near as good version of Katsidis, and Mitchell nearly got banged out in that one.

The weak opponents between the two fights only papered over the cracks, I'd wager that most of the domestic top 10 could outbox Prescott to a decision.

 

I want this guys purse withheld after the fight for lack of effort.

 

Is it just me or do you want to shoot fwank warren between his eyes, where is terry marsh hiding? At short notice you cant expect a good opponent but i would expect better then this!!!!! Kell brook is a very good talent, oh well he's fighting mike jones in february so it's all good.

 

you clearly do not know the guy..he is very very confident and will deal with mike jones believe me

 

I think i'll use the Brook fight on this bill to go and make a cup of tea.

 

Much rather have seen a rematch with jennings if not stepping up in class

 

i bet craig watson woulden't turn the offer down if he got it:think:good

 

i add laryea to a successful ghanaian boxer. it happens but he is an example of a successful afri-bum

 

ha ha,,nice work (edit) ishy:good
now that's better..

 

Meh, close enough

 

With Khan and the Klit-Chisora fight being on the PPV, Frank didn't need to bother putting his boys in tougher fights.
