Brook-Jones Thoughts

Brook would have a field day with Ortiz, there's no two ways about it, it's all in the styles. Brook would be hitting and not getting hit and Ortiz would fold. Alexander would be a closer fight but if kell works on his stamina he wins that as well

 

Brook has fought no one. He's still a prospect. Jones isn't even B level...and he's better than anything Brook has been in with.

This is the ****** with the gaping anus that actually created a Kell Brook Vs. Manny Pacquiao thread!

 

Brook is far stronger mentally from what ive seen of both which can even things up quite a lot. I do agree that Alexander holds a good few advantages over Brook.

 

This was comfortably the most impressed ive been with Brook. Styles makes fights and Carson Jones was a nightmare for him. Insane swamping pressure, solid chin, tons of heart, not an ounce of quit and power to boot. Add that to the fact that Jones was the stronger guy in there and its clear that Kell deserves credit for pulling through one hell of an acid test. Brook will ultimately meet more talented foe's than Jones but its highly unlikely many of them will match the shear determination and tenacity that Carson bought to the ring last night. Credit to both guys for a fantastic fight, Kell goes onwards and upwards but im sure Jones can come again.

 

Brook was exposed last night.

What shocked me was his inability to make Jones respect his power. He had many opportunities in the second part to plant his feet and make his punches felt, because Jones was letting his punches go, contrary to the first part.

But he chose to run instead. Maybe is he protecting a fragile chin and we don't know about it.
Won't be the first time.

Hamed he ain't.

 

:deal

 

To me he has to work on his conditioning. He dominated the first 5 rounds of the fight, then faded every round thereafter. Also in the latter rounds he was effective for the first minute and a half, then gassed quickly and was getting a good beating.
He will have to face fighters who keep coming and coming in the championship level, and I don't think he's quite ready for that just yet.
When he was fresh his boxing looked good, but he needs more stamina to accomplish it for 12 rounds. To his credit, he hung in there and didn't fold down the stretch. I honestly thought he would be stopped late in that fight, and I thought he may have even lost the fight, or it could be at least argued. He pretty much had nothing left after round 5 it seems, and Jones was tough, but nothing special about his skills, he was basically just walking in continuously not offering even many jabs at all. When Brook gets in with a fighter with skill coming at him, he better have a better solution, and for him I think that solution is conditioning, because like Khan, I don't think inside fighting will ever be a part of his game.

 

Yeah because looking good against matthew hatton means he can beat Ortiz. Ortiz has better skills and much more power. He'd ko brook bad, this was a step up for Brook and Jones is in no way world level.
