    Here is a bit of interesting archive footage of a rather small Kell Brook winning the Yorkshire SABA championship in 2001 aged 14.

    As can be seen, he has already developed that devastating left jab which he uses to great effect against an opponent who easily outreaches him.

    I love the way that the amateur refs. like to take the limelight and have their moments of glory.

    If he can mix it in the pro ranks as good as he did in this fight in the amateurs when the going gets tough, I reckon he will go all the way to the top.

    What do you think?

    Thanks to Tommy Broadbent for posting the clip on Youtube.

    Cheers for the vid :good

    It seems Kell liked to mix it a bit more in the Am's, which is understandable due to the added protection and less rounds, which means you have to make an impression. Now he focuses even more as a counter-puncher in the pro's, which suits his advantages which are his jabs, which are a great combination of speed and power. In that vid you seen the speed was there, now he has developed the power.

    Also, "come on Tommy!..." :lol:
