Just saw Byrne's fight and he did very well. I thought he might have nicked it as I gave him 1,2,3,6 & 8, but 3 was very close, so no complaints.
Well done.

If that shows me anything its that Kell Brook will never be a world class fighter Brook scraped by Jones and looking at Jones from that god he is nothing special at all if Brook will be exposed by a top class fighter for what he is an overhyped average boxer

Not sure about that.
Brook easily outboxed Jones for 6 rounds, then just ran out of steam. That's when it became interesting. In terms of skill Brook was in a different class.

Devon Alexander will expose him in January. It's pretty good he's fighting Devon and not someone like Maidana/Rios/Matthyse because he would get brutally KTFO

T-K-O

No love for Brook....

Dean's fight with Carson will tell you this about Kell Brook...... Nothing.


Kell dominated Carson for 6 or 7 rounds. He got lazy and decided to brawl but he has talent. His next fight will tell us a lot about him.

It tells us he scraped past a very average fighter indeed not suprising its Alexander he is fighting i fancy Devon to win on points but as has been said if he was fighting a big puncher he would get knocked out badly Brook has decent skills but not near enough to be a top class fighter in my view

T-K-O

Carson is not great but tonights fight is not a true reflection

I think he'll beat Alexander. I also feel he'd beat Maidana and Rios (who's seriously overrated). Matthyse is a different story, but he's operating at Light Welter, so that probably won't happen in the near future.

I fancy Alexander. TBH I don't think Maidana or Rios are anything special I just think their relentless style would get to Brook. Matthyse is from the same mould, but more effective, and as you said currently campaigning at 140, doing a pretty good job of terrorising the division recently. Looking forward to the fight in January anyway.

in post fight interview, feels he may have broke his hand so unsure about january.

Dean was the highlight of last night. A bit fitter and he would have won. He boxed beautifully on the move. Had he a bit more stamina and energy he would have been able to unload even more leather as opposed to ducking and diving.
