    25-2 and his losses are to Peter Quillin and Arif Magomedov which isn't exactly bad company to keep.

    My concern here is that Zerafa has been a career 160 fighter which tells us that this fight will be at 154 at the very least. I thought the point of having a fight in December was to try a lower weight 151ish to get used to 147 for Khan?

    Brook is going to be giving up a lot of size in this fight...he won't be in the Khan fight so again I find this a strange choice of opponent.

    Thoughts?

    Sounds like a Vauxhall people carrier.

    I saw Khan having a half hearted dig about Brook's opponent, saying he's delaying a Brook/Khan fight. I found that hilarious, considering Khan has delayed said fight for years and recently fought two bums. But that's Khan, no brains and no shame.

    Kell probably only wants to make 147 one more time in his career because it's traumatic on the body. That's obviously for a Khan fight. I'd say he'll come in around 151/152 for this one, even if it's at 154.

    His loss to Quillin was bad, it could have ended in a tragedy.
    He's an ok, limited fighter, didn't know he moved down to 154.

    Brook should deal with him just fine.

    Well, he surely wouldn't be staying around 150 between this fight and the Khan fight, so not sure it makes a great deal of sense. Other than to prove to himself he can cut weight.

    No point brook trying to squeeze down to 147 for this. The Khan fight isn't even a certainty.

    A crap fight, to be honest. I guess 154 is remaining on notice for the time being.

    Brook is the most irrelevant fighter in boxing, at least out of those with a modicum of profile.

    He is decent, good skills unknown power. I think he same level as rabchenkyo. Much better than Vargas Khan faught.
