Brook wasn't meant to be fighting in May. The plan was always for June-August fight with Marques/Rios. They are still planning on that fight, just adding a keep-busy in between as Brook is so keen to get out again. He's coming off a stabbing and only got 4 rounds in against Dan so it makes perfect sense. People moaning about his opponent ffs.
Ok.. We ll see whom he fights after Gavin.. If its another tomamto can, then it will seal the deal for me on Brooks..
hearn confirming gavin a possibility and then rios in august. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyxcAyrnBM8
Exactly. All spin. Leading questions from Kugan to Brook about taking a Gavin fight, all pre planned. Kell all smiles, money in the bank. Someone call the Serious Fraud Office!
I like Gavin, think he is pretty decent. I also believe in people earning their title shots though and he does not deserve one at all.
Brook did look rusty against Jo jo dan, so it another keep busy fight is understandable but after that brook needs to start fighting the big names whether it's khan or the bradleys and rios etc to get his name more recognised out in the states.
People complain about Khan not fighting Brook...then this **** fight is happening in May. What a joke.
Not until he gets that big payday from Khan, he aint risking it against any1 with a pulse. We're ready for Marquez, Thurman, Maidana Bradley, goes ahead and fights Frankie Gavin instead :roflatsch
To be fair i'd rather see this domestic fight than brook fighting another nobody, brook needed another fight before fighting the likes of thurman anyway
Never, mate. His career has been a flop. He has been a pro for 11 years and his best win besides Porter was either Carson Jones or Matthew Hatton.
