    Brook definitely needs to look the conditioning aspect of his preparation, he was gassed after 6 rounds. Watched the fight again there and the nose break was halfway through round 8 so he did well to get through to the end.

    Also he didn't look great fighting to on the inside and kept dropping his hands a lot but these are things that can be improved.

    Would love to see him and Khan fight in say 18 months time.

    During the fight when Brook was running out of gas Sky's commentator Jim Watt said something about Brook, doubting he lives the life of a champ between fights. So I guess they've heard stories. And it showed during the fight he doesn't have the stamina of the top guys like Pac, Mayweather, Bradley, etc.

    He definitely needs to be fitter. It's the same old **** from Ingle fighters.

    That's what i meant he would drop his hands and stare down at the mat,it reminded me of william joppy in the trinidad fight.

    My honest opinion,i don't think brook is ready for a title shot against bailey or alexander,because they're levels above carson jones and they punch harder.Kellz should go after paulie.

    Jones is probably better.

    He poses Kell the same threats that Maidana posed Khan.... who would probably handle Jones with relative ease, as Brook would Maidana.

    I was impressed by Brook, To be honest I expected him to fold.
    Yesterday's fight was a changer for him IMO.

    He will either improve?? Or never be the same again.
    I agree with most that a change in trainer & location is in order.

    The difference between khan and Brook is that Brook was taking a beating for the entire last part of this fight and couldn't dig deep to win. He was lucky the fight ended when it did. Khan finished the Maidana fight fighting hard. Maidana is a notch above Jones.
