    But it's against an opponent that is too risky for his '0'.

    That's why being the mandatory for Bailey-Alexander is more appealing for them. It's a safer way of getting their hands on a title.

    Which will backfire because for Brook, I think Bradley would be a shade easier than Alexander. Simply because I think Alexander has more pop than Bradley, he's a lot faster, and while he's not as rugged and lost to Bradley head up, I think he'll make it tougher for Brook to get his shots off.

    dumb move, even if he felt there was little chance of victory
    he may have just blown his biggest potential payday
    you gotta grab these opportunitys when you can

    example, imagine if he got lucky and knocked bradley out he is propelled into mega fight territory instantly

    Oh, it's worth mentioning that the money may not have been that good, and they were probably being tied into further contractual obligations if they had won.
     
  5. Brook is a KO waiting to happen. He has skills but his defence is **** poor.

    Except he isn't getting the IBF if/when Alexander wins it. Style wise Alexander is a worse fight for him.

    You reckon?

    Alexander is a boxer. Brook's problem is pressure and being made to work hard for the full 3 minutes of every round (his stamina is poor). Alexander wouldn't bring that sort of heat, in my opinion.

    he aint got the tools to defeat timmeh and he prolly seen the last fight too. he still got to polish up so i won't take anything away from him by not taking a huge test atm.

    Brook will beat Alexander, that is if Bailey don't KO him first.

    BS move from Brook and Hearn. Six of one, half a dozen of the other; he ain't beating Alexander or Bradley.
