    not going to be anyone amazing. someone brook can look good against, and will take him a few rounds before falling over.

    its a glamorous stay busy fight.

    you would have thought so. otherwise there wouldn't be much point would there?

    the idea is to "show Kell off to the American audience." I think that Eddie HEarn means more than the 2500 (or whatever it is) in the live audience!

    I'm sure someone stated on here that it wouldn't be televised live...

    Eddie Hearn said it will be televised. I believe he's on before Froch in the running order.

    Showtime are only planning on showing the fight that night.

    Sky will obviously show it.

    I was hoping it'd be Jan Zaveck. Chance to make a statement and all that.

    Doubt Zaveck would have took a tough fight like this at short notice.
