Brooks next two fights

It was October when Brook was talking about it so it was about a month before the Alexander fight was announced.Provodnikovs name popped up around late November early December for the Bradley fight.Listen nobody knows what goes on behind the scenes we can just go by interviews and what we hear in the media.All I know is I think it was a foolish move not to take the Bradley fight it was a huge opportunity on a bigger stage that would have given Kell huge exposure.

Hearn was looking for the safest way to a title for Kell instead of taking a chance with him and now it's backfired.

 

I'm saying that even if they had agreed, the fight wasn't happening. Arum send out offers to plenty of people but Bradley never agreed to any of them. If he rejected Peterson hot off his win from Khan because he wanted a bigger name opponent, he wasn't going to accept Brook. Do you disagree or do you really think Tim would have signed to fight Brook?

And Provodinkov wasn't in the running to fight Tim till close to the announcement in Feb. Remember the shock when it became public knowledge?January talk was Bradley v Gamboa and only when that fell through did the Russian become an option.
