    After seeing Jones struggle last night, and to some extent get "exposed" (god, i hate using that word), how do you think Kell Brook would do against him?

    The Sky team seemed to be suggesting last nights fight showed Brook had a decent chance against Jones, but I'm not so sure. Brook does not have the punch resistance of Karass and is not particularly elusive - I'd still probably pick Jones to knock him out within 4 :think

    who has brook fought in his limited competition to even suggest he'd even be competitive with jones or krass, both guys KO him out and send him back to sheffield fighting in small halls,
    maybe warren should try and put brook in with krass i dont think brooks life expectancy will be very high in that fight

    It will be a brilliant fight if made IMO. Jones punched himself out like a idiot and IMO lost that fight clearly. I think his recklessness would suit Brook. Who likes guys to open themselves up to him and i think Jones is very ungainly as he moves and is a KO waiting to happen. That said is Brook really that hard a puncher?? i...do wonder tbh.

    considering he is a pretty hyped prospect i was amazed at that second round flurry and the way he flailed away with little accuracy :patsch. believed in his own power too much i guess.

    Jones fought stupid in that 2nd round, kept flailing away like a mong, not punch power in his punches and little accuracy.

    I'd like to see Brook-Jones, it's not worthy of being a world title shot but that's just how it is in this day and age.

    Let's put it this way, has Brook fought someone like Soto-Karass? A good chinned fighter who never lets up? Think we'd see Brook struggle as much as Jones did, if not more against a fighter like that.

    What hade me cracking up was in that barrage he must of threw around 60+ power punches. I mean no thought just winging away. Ridiculous thing to do and he could never get his wind back and from then on he took a beating.

    Jones didn't struggle against Soto, he lost.

    I'd pick Kell to win this fight but a few rounds. In the 2nd round Jones looked a little amateurish to me, punching himself out like that and taking a good 3 rounds to recover. Could Kell take that onslaught? Doubtful if I'm honest. But if he does, he takes Jones apart comfortably for me

    Can't remember what the score was, but thought Jones was incredibly stupid going all-out. Karass did enough for a draw, but I can see an argument for a Jones win - but not by much.

    I dont, the rounds Jones could be argued to have won in the later of the fight were tight. Karass's rounds were clear cut, from round 3-7/8 Karass was beating him around the ring. Clear win for Karass, feel sorry for him, he looks like a good honest pro who never gets the breaks due to boxing politics.

    The Mexican beat Jones but I think Jones beats Brook. Jones will be by far the best test Brook has had. The punches Jones hit the Mexican with wouldve knocked many WW's outcold.

    Jones spent everything he had in that 2nd round trying to take his opponent out.

    personally feel Jones will be too much for Brook.
