Kell Brook Homecoming fight end of this year

I agree with you regarding Brook beating Abregu. I also agree that it is highly unlikely that Abregu would KO Kell.

But Team Brook (Eddie Hearn & Co) are unlikely to put the Golden Goose in a position where it could be slain before it lays at least a couple of golden eggs. Which is why my guess (and that's all it is) is Decarie.

Abregu is ranked 9 by the IBF (13 by Boxrec) he's an inch taller than Kell, has a three inch reach advantage and possesses a 78% KO ratio...

Whereas Decarie is ranked 11 by the IBF (22 by Boxrec) of similar dimensions to Kell, was dropped and comfortably beaten by Abregu and possesses a paltry 28% KO ratio.

Like you, I believe that Kell beats both comfortably. But if you are a promoter, looking for a homecoming opponent for your newly crowned WW Champ (who has a plethora of potential mega-money fights in the pipeline) to look good against, would you really risk all those millions by arranging a voluntary against a guy who has an almost 80% KO ratio?

Bearing in mind it is Fast Eddie we are talking about! the man is notorious for taking the **** when it comes to such matters.. I mean look at the fights he has arranged for Quigg.

 

berto or is ortiz finished acting badly in expendables yet

 

Hearn has already ruled out any idea of Ortiz

 

thank god

 

prob b boy canelo beat lopez might be his name

 

I agree, I think it will be Lopez.

 

Can't see Marquez coming to the UK.

Thurman fight won't happen in his 1st defence. To dangerous a fight which would then scupper chances of Brook v Khan, add in the fact Khan will be fighting on the same bill Hearn will want Brook to shine.

I'd like to see Bundu get a crack at a world title. Although I think Brook beats him, he's bagged himself 2 impressive performances on UK shows and has built a bit of a name for himself here off the back of those wins. Think he's #2 or #3 with the IBF also. Only thing is Hearn doesn't seem keen as US TV is interested in the fight and Bundu isn't a big name in the states.

It will be either Lopez or Rios, I can see it being Rios.
