This is a joke and a disgrace for the sport of boxing, someone has to explain how this bum was a mandatory for a welterweight title. Do you guys realize how deep this division is? Ahmir Khan and Thurman have a better claim to be number one.... Brook just beat the dictionary definition of a Tomato Can. Jo Jo Dancer is a close to being a street bum as they come. Reminds me of some of the cans that Triple G has been fighting.
He's one of those fighters who doesn't box his opponents to victory, he can't do that, nor does he have the power to put them away, he will just rush in like that and hope to outwork/out spoil them.
If you call that street bum a prize fighter be my guest, I'm not being fooled by the IBF, I know for a fact the bartender kicked that bum out of the Mickey's Irish Pub last night.
He is a prizefighter but that doesnt change the fact that he is a bum at the world level and had no business fighting at the world level.
You guys are sentimentalist that wanna look at the bright side, just because a guy puts on gloves and collects a check doesn't make them not a bum. You can grab anyone out of the crowd and put gloves on them and have them take a major ass whippin and call them a prize fighter....And that is what they did with Jo Jo Dancer, they found him passed out in an alley and offered him enough to buy three weeks of Night Train to get in there and take a beating for the fans delight. It's happened before....Go Research Arturo Gatti vs Thomas Daamgard and tell me what you think about the number five rated undefeated contender Gatti took on.
It's still understandable why Brook took the fight though considering he had a machete into his thigh...
He was utterly useless and you're right , its a strong division. Can't understand how he was #1. Brook was a class apart tho.
