    Got to be Saldavia as a final eliminator in October before a title shot. There is just a bit of dispute over the venue between the promoters though whether it's going to be Sheffield again or in Argentina. To be honest, I would have loved it to be on the Carl Froch undercard in November but I think thats out of the window now.

    Saldivia's a bit 'meh'.

    Better off trying to get Diego Chaves who's just won the WBA interim title and if he can beat him, challenge Malignaggi for the full title.

    That'd be a great match up but, imo, it's a bit too soon for both men. A few fights down the line and that could well be 'superfight'

    Short & compact, he prefers to work at mid-range & in close, though he can box a bit as well. A nice right hand with plenty of variety but he hasnt fought much outside of Argentina.

    He's decent but nothing special & he did get stopped in a wild 1 round fight with Said Ouali...

    Kell should be able to outbox this guy without too many dramas

    It's pretty much a done deal, he has to fight Saldivia to become mandatory for the IBF strap.

    Kell shouldnt have too much trouble with him as long as he works on the stamina issues, he's fundamentally better in pretty much every way and he's definitely fought at a much higher level.

    Hearn should let Brook go to Argentina, Kell needs to get out of his comfort zone, it's preparation for the future when he may have to travel for fights.
