Sure to be a war, just as the first one was. I'm pretty psyched for this one. There's a lot of talk of issues coming from the Brook camp the past several months. Numerous injuries, lack of commitment, weight issues. He's been frighteningly inactive as well. Thoughts on this match up? Will a seemingly fired up Jones break down Brook or will Brook up his game in the rematch?
Complete opposite of what he needs to do to win. He showed his full offensive arsenal last time out and all it did was hasten him gassing. :-(
Did anyone hear the rumor of Carson Jones catching his wife giving another dead head the day he drew with Dean Byrne? If true, that's a pretty good excuse for a lackluster performance.
Well the fact that Brook wasnt in condition in their last fight & still beat Jones from pillar to post during the first half of the fight & almost had him out of there & we all know that Brook has since hired a S&C coach and will come in much better shape in order to maintain the pace unlike the first fight, then why the f'uck is it completely the opposite of what he needs to do? He NEEDS to come out and make a statement & blow Jones away & show to the world that he is world class & the last fight was a fluke.
Brook probably takes it by decision in a competitive, but easier fight than their first encounter. Jones somewhat did a poor man's rope-a-dope on Brook in their first fight, dropping the early rounds but forcing Brook to work at a fast pace and then putting it on him in the 2nd half of the fight when Brook slowed down. I'd expect him to start off faster this time knowing that he can take what Brook has got to offer, but Brook has more ability to adjust than Jones, as Jones cannot outbox Brook, he can only win by forcing Brook into a dogfight like last time, and it'll be harder for Jones to catch up to Brook early. Brook will probably be somewhat conservative with his punches but win the early rounds, and then Jones comes on down the stretch again but the ten round limit this time helps Brook more and he wins in a competitive, but clear fight.
Speaking of Brooks vital movement to avoid being drawn into a brawl, isn't this a guy who's had numerous ankle and foot injuries the past year? :think
