    Guys are acting like brook isnt a talented fighter. That he isnt good. Brook beats who is placed infront of him. He is talented enough to secure another Title Shot. He isnt over by a long shot.

    YES!

    You take the chances when they come, there was no guarantee he was gonna win but there was no guarantee he was going to beat Alexander either. Even if Bradley beat him (Which i think he would've) Kell would've given a good account of himself and no doubt would've learned, become a better fighter in the process and have been given another big fight.

    It happens all the time, guys get given oppertunities on short notice and take the chance, lose but by giving a good account of themselves get more oppertunities.

    I dont see Brook beating anyone at 147, at least Alexander he coulda made it abit close and won rounds on aggression, now hes gonna have to earn his shot going through people like Berto, Ortiz, Maidana, Lopez they all stop him

    No i still think they will be content in the choice they made. He's still got years ahead of him and stylistically it isn't the fight he needed that take at that time after a confidence sapping brawl with Jones.

    When you get offered a fight and you're a unbeaten guy you know they see you as easy pickings. I think he knew things weren't right and needed to deal with his IBF eliminator and build towards Bradley and for me that still stands.

    This is the 3rd time the bout has been cancelled. Twice via Brook. The fight will never happen now, quite rightly Alexandra will move on. In the big scheme of things Brook is nobody in the US, Devon can get a better payday fighting somebody else.
