Comments Thread For: Brook Promises To Be at His "Very Best" Against Saldivia

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Kell Brook has told fans to expect "the best yet" when he takes on Hector Saldivia in a final eliminator for the IBF welterweight title on October 20.

The 'Special One' from Sheffield returns to the Motorpoint Arena for the bill entitled 'This is It', a clear reference to the position the unbeaten Brook now finds himself.

Touted for some time as a future world champion, the 26-year-old extended his record to 28-0 with a nerve-wracking points victory over American Carson Jones in July.

Poor preparation, a broken nose and a tough opponent meant fans saw a different Brook, one that could dig deep in times of adversity. [Click Here To Read More]

Looking forward to seeing Brook continue to step up the competition. See if he can eclipse Khan's level of notoriety and stardom.

Telling someone they won a fight where they clearly took a licking and then matching them with even more talented fighters, is not doing them any favors. A loss would have lowered expectations and competition, but now Brooks has another lion by the tail and his conditioners can't get in the ring with him. A loss is no disgrace, someone has to lose, I just don't believe Gynseng and Palates is going to make that much difference.

That's what they said about Carson Jones, even more so. The last thing Brooks needs is to up the competition after that last "win".
