hes methodical, cool, extremely calm traits of an excellent technician. I think he is the best WW outside PBF and Manny. looking forward to his next fight, Hearn suggests a homecoming before Khan in April next year.... who will he fight next? I think maybe a Mike alverado or a RIOS?
Alvarado or Rios... you serious? probably stick him in with Frankie Gavin or the fellow who just beat him Leonard Bundu.. I'm unsure what standards Brook & Hearn must meet now that they hold the IBF title...but it will probably just be an activity fight... Really they need to be fighting people who deserve a shot at the title...but I don't see why Brook is obligated in anyway to fight again this year so I don't mind who he fights.
It was a close fight that could have gone either way. Brook squeaked by a win, by no means was it surgical.
I wouldn't call that performance surgical. I thought he performed very well in a very tough fight, but I think he holds too much. It might have been part of his game plan in the beginning to put his leverage on the shorter Porter but it was kinda boring. I like Brook, I like how he rose to his competition's level last night. I think a lot of people are quick to dismiss a fighter because of the level of comp they have fought, but if you study them you can see they have the goods and maybe its their handlers that milk them. GGG falls into this boat imo, haters are going say who has he fought, but anyone with a boxing mind knows he is the goods. Brook proved it last night. He is a world class fighter and he would give anyone a nice challenge at WW. Very fundamental with good length and a great jab.
Im talking about the guys body language since hes been pro, hes so consistent laid back, relaxed, straight back to the basic fundamentals, great to watch lovely set balance, VERY VERY SMOOTH.
I've always been huge on Kell but I'd have to say I want to see him actually beat beat one of JMM bradley or Thurman before I would go so far as to up him above all those guys.
let see Brook against mexican master technician JMM. Porter didnt do **** to trouble Kell. The fight looked more like one of Kell sparring session.
Guessing it will be Bundu in November/December, Khan next May at Wembley and if Kell beat Khan it would be his mandatory or a unification next.
