Finally been made official that Brook will fight Carson Jones on 7th July. Decent test for Kell, but think Eddie will have his work cut out selling out Motorpoint for this. http://www.matchroomboxing.com/news/kell_brook_to_face_ibf_3.htm
Good luck Kell....... Still not happy with the level of oposition....28th fight now... Time to really step up after this Eddie. Yeah tough sell out for Matchroom IMO.
If he does 60000-70000 for this he has done well.Decent undercard for this and the fans should get their moneys worth.Mainevent sets up world titile fight and also gives Brook another fight before he jumps up to world level.
Another test for the 'special one', people said he would struggle with Philip 'hands of stone' Kotey, he didn't. They said he was out of his depth with Luis 'lights out' Galarza, he wasn't. People will keep writing Kell off and he will keep proving them wrong.
Jones has put some wins together but against a bunch of muppets, though Sky will do there best to hype **** out of this. Brook ko in the mid rounds!!
No-one is gonna give Kell a title shot, he has to earn a mandatory challenge & thats what this fight does. Jones is better than his record suggests, he is bigger than Kell & has a lot more experience. What I like about this fight is that Jones comes forward & is aggressive, which exactly the style of fighter I'd like to see Kell up against. I've not seen anyone really put Kell under pressure, Carson might be the man to do it.
Could be the first time (and hopefully the start of something new) where Boxnation have more viewers for a show than Sky..... Not a bad fight, but the fight the following weekend will attract all the attention :bbb
