Brook vs Magic Matt for Vacant IBF title

Discussion in 'British Boxing Forum' started by tomj, Jan 8, 2012.


  1. I think Bailey will be guaranteed a shot at the vacant title, unless of course he's paid to step aside, but I can't see him doing that.

    He has a hard job getting an opponent because he's pretty dangerous, I'd hardly imagine Hearn is chomping at the bit to stick Kell in with him.

    Randall Bailey might be the P4P hardest punching fighter in the sport today

    Looking at those rankings, I can't see Matt v Kell being for the full title.

    The IBF loves title eliminator and that sounds more realistic.

    didnt hearn say brook was gonna fight a big name? i mean hatton is a big name but not when it is preceded by matthew. I dont think its a bad fight but dont know how they can justify it being a 'world title' fight.

    IBF announced Bailey/Jones would be for the vacant title ages ago.

    Jones/Lujan was a final eliminator to fight Bailey who's being mando for ages.

    That is shockingly bad. 2 fighters who aren't proven at world class level fighting for a world class belt. Their claims to fame is potential and not getting obliterated in a loss.

    At least if Brook gets the title then he should be faced with a more consistent stream of strong opposition.

    Listen princess, 26 have tried and 26 have failed. Hatton got a joke of a title fight against Canelo and is nowhere close to another one.
