Brook is packing serious muscle. This was a poor fight when they first met, it's an even worse fight the second time round. It offers nothing to the trajectory of his career except money in his pocket and Hearns.
I see what you mean, but do you not think it would show a massive improvement if he smashes Jones in 3/4 rounds?
I dont know how anyone can call the first fight a poor fight. It was back and fourth, everything was put on the line by both boxers. Bellew vs chilemba was a poor fight.
Kell looked in much better condition and at fighting weight today (160lbs)..maybe making weight may not be that hard after all, especially needing 150
The first fight was great,one of my favourite fights of last year But this is not needed after the Alexander debacle
It would but then again would it?! Brooks career trajectory has supposedly been on the cusp of a world title fight since forever. The first fight was a poor fight that hindsight gave credibility because it was a war and it exposed flaws in Brooks armour. Since they fought a year ago, Jones has laboured to a draw and knocked out a journeyman. If anything, he has regressed. I love rematches and avenging losses but he didn't lose, he just didn't look invincible. I still think Khan could rematch Prescott. If Brook won't fight Bradley and he can't fight Brook then he should be looking at a top operator. Instead time is lost, the hype is maintained with a money making BS match up like this. It's just embarassing but some lights and music on fight night will make mutton look like lamb.
It becomes for Brook a fight where it is all on the table for him he has to make a statement in this fight do a real number on Jones but at catch weight then what? IMO he has to campaign at 147lb at this moment in his career he has because of various issues become the forgotten man of uk boxing when rewind a year it was all on for him.
How and why does he struggle to make the weight? Looks ****ing massive (in a good way) when you look at his arms etc.
So do you think he should campaign at 154lb then? Fair enough if you do IMO he should fight at 147lb. It is where if conditioned correctly he would have a big advantage size wise post weigh in to most other fighters in that division move up to 154lb that is negated by some %.
