    One Way..Brook wins, Glad Ashley is having a big British fight he deserves it and it's a smart move by Frank if for the title.

    Yeah beating Rodriguez helped his IBF ranking.

    He's listed to box in Germany for the IBO International title in December. Didn't know he boxed the other week...he really goes un-noticed the lad. I like his workrate.

    I think he can give Brook all he can handle, i mean he's fought good fighters and even took Danny Garcia close. I'm sure he won't be worried about Brook. He will fancy chances.

    Ye he does stay pretty active he has the freedom to box as much as he wants not being with a promoter.

    He was going to headline an espn friday fight night but they rejected emmanuel Augustus as an opponen. there was also talk of him vs Randal Bailey in an IBF eliminator

    I'd fancy his chances with Bailey. Bailey has the power but he's coming to end and Ashley is tough kid and wants it enough to take the fight and earn what really would be a deserved shot at a world title when you look at British fighters nowadays.

    It's a good fight. It being for a 'world' title is a bit of a joke, but it's still a good match-up. Theophane is a decent gatekeeper (although I still feel he lost to Rodriguez) and is a good learning fight for Brook.

    Interesting fight, Theophane can cause him a few problems like he did Danny Garcia as Mandanda said, although Garcia was a lot more 'green' than Brooke. I'd expect Kell to a win decision/late stoppage as Theopane is a sucker for overhand rights, it could be tricky though. Don't mind this match-up at all, just what Brooke needs.

    Said Ouali is up next for The Knockout King in December. Its another IBF eliminator for Bailey.
