    I admit I have no idea who this guy is, and in America you don't get the chance to watch the super 7 or hear about fights overseas. I caught on to the super 7 late, but I was hearing about Kell brook, now I hear Prince giving him props, and the prince doesn't just hand out props.

    Is he foreal? Is he worth checking out or is it just hype? Also is the super 7 worth checking out?

    Quite a lot of hype but hes a good, powerful, methodical fighter. He's like your Berto, just with less speed but more power IMO and will probably win more fights because he aint a complete fraud/*****.

    Dunno whether I detect sarcasm. But for the benefit of the doubt it was a non event and was stopped because of a 'cut' to Jennings that nobody could see from the television. But Brook was winning quite easily anyway.

    Oh, I didn't catch the sarcasm. Thought dude was under the impression that the fight never actually happened because so many people expected it to be postponed (again). :lol:

    Honestly, I wasn't impressed with Brook. He won every round, but didn't get in a whole lot of clean shots and Jennings did seem to land the few times he actually let his hands go.

    A fight between Brook and Mike Jones would definitely be interesting, though.

    And you're saying he cant?? Thing about young fighters is that you dont know. It was said about most fighters that they couldnt beat this guy and that guy before they did it. It was said that pac would get his ass kicked by MAB and he had no chance in that fight. It was said about Ward going into the fight with Kessler. And Pascal vs Dawson. No having done it doesnt mean that they cant do, only that they have not YET.

    Depends on reflexes and styles himself after Prince Naseem. Powerful and quick straight right hand and left hook, doing most damage when catching fighters coming in. No inside game evident so far and defense can be porous. He's talented but is far from a complete fighter at this point.

    Generally true, but you should bear in mind that he might be a shade more generous with his props distribution when the boxer in question is from Sheffield and from Ingle's stable.

    He is Naz's protege pretty much, there's no way that he would say that Brook is the second coming of himself if he was a stranger from Wales.

    some did, but most didnt. Most said the same things about Ward that they are now saying about Brook. He has looked good vs who he has been fighting and who to say that he cant progress to the point were he could KO Pac?? Who is to say that he cant do it NOW.
