KELL BROOK is ready for the biggest gamble of his career when he finally challenges IBF world welterweight champion Devon Alexander.
The bout, originally scheduled for January 19 in the US, has now been delayed to March 2 because of the Sheffield fighter’s ankle injury.
And his promoter Eddie Hearn did not mince words over the challenge that his man faces, saying: “It’s time for him to take a punt – and what a big punt.

Nowhere near as stupid as this post makes you look.
Brook hasn't fought anywhere near the level the Alexander has but that doesn't mean he can't.
Devon has been given gifts a few times in his career, the fact that this fight is not in St. Louis makes me think GBP might be ready to cut him loose and replace him with Brook???
50/50 fight for me the only thing that's sure is that Brook will give him a real tough night
stfu fool,Brook went life and death with bum ass carson jones and now he's ready for anyone?
it's called level's in boxing and Brook has only fought cans,Devon is nothing special imo but he's a massive step up for Brook.
Devon's hand speed will give Brook problems all night long
Calling out Khan right now is a lil Gayish being that he just got ktfo by Garcia and outmanned by Peterson. If he wins tonight, he's on a whopping 1 fight win streak! Way to go Brook and company. If he beats Devon then he should call out Guerrero, not a LWW. Just my opinion.
I am genuinely perplexed by Brook as well as young Edward's comments.
Just can't work out whether Brook will be exposed/embarrassed by Devon because he's been protected and over-hyped by Oily Eddie.....
.....or whether Kell goes out to America and does what Honeyghan did to Don Curry on Alexander. In other words, a stunning beat-down of an established, very credible champ in his own backyard.
Hearn clearly believes Brook is the next big thing for British boxing (and his promotional empire) and that all the guy actually needs is the right fight, opponent and belt to showcase his immense/amazing talents.
The cynic in me says that Hearn is first/foremost a promoter and he's paid to sell fights/fighters. Furthermore, he knows his biggest star Carl Froch is not going to be around for much longer, so he's going to push Brook.
Remaining in cynical mode; Brook was hardly 'stellar' against Carson Jones and took some heavy shots along the way. And this was the same Jones who ended-up drawing with the 'ok-ish' Dean Byrne the other week.
On the plus/positive side Brook has wrecked most of his British/European level opponents in a way that suggests he's well above this class and finds these fights easy/not even remotely challenging.
He did a number on Jackiwiecz, dealt with Hatton Junior just as convincingly as 'Canelo' did and last time out used Saldivia as free target practice.
My money....and yes, I will have a proper bet....is on Brook winning this fight by a mid-round stoppage. He's fast, ****y, explosive, young and fearless.
Hearn is not infallible and Brook is definitely beatable....but I think they'll manage to shake up the world for just one night.
Hearn's a muppet
devon will make brook look stupid imo

Yet more xenophobic crap being regurgitated and spewed out in a senseless manner. Let me take a wild stab in the dark here...You've barely traveled outside the confines of your country, let alone your own state! Now all you want to do is massage that fragile ego of yours, lay claim to other people's achievements, and that will somehow validate your own pointless existence. Do yourself and the rest of us a favour. Keep your crass, baseless and churlish philosophies to yourself, as you'll only serve to embarrass yourself further (if that's possible?).
There there little man, did I touch a nerve with a mere opinion?...or was it that've previously pointed out your usage of Americanised (bastardised) English, and you feel the need to appease your callow mind. Whatever it was, please keep your reply in real, untainted English. Then perhaps you wouldn't be mistaken for a cultural Judas, who'd willing sell the country of his birth down the river, just for a few pieces silver. Ta-ra!

Your opinion is retarded, just doing you a favour you should thank me.
Here suck on this maybe you'd fell better. :bottle::bottle::bottle:
The same Carson Jones that went life and death with Dean Byrne after 3 days notice and managed a draw? GTFOH with your dumb sh1t.

I think Carson Jones is a tougher fight than Kotelnik, and Kotelnik clearly won against Alexander. Saying that, Brook hasn't faced the level of opposition that Alexander has. So it'll be interesting to see if Brook can rise to the occasion and up his level with it.
No way. Kotelnik >>> C. Jones

I'm Picking Devon to win this one handily, the gap in quality of opposition couldn't be wider and so its hard to see just how good Brook really is when Carson Jones is his best opponent and gave him hell when he wasn't supposed to. He looked good knocking out Saldiva but that guy was a complete stiff. To me it would be a real upset if Brook won.

Alexander the twat sucks, Brook can outpoint him
it's not in St Louis, so Brook should have this one wrapped up
Bailey wouldn't throw, but the twat likes to eat right hands
Brook can win off that punch, the twat has no defense
Khan is better than the twat though, that's a harder fight

Khan would probably throw caution to the wind and go for a Brook fight at 147 if he get by Molina and Brook beats Alexander, Just to get Mayweather quicker.
Alexander wins
This is a good chance for Brook to come to America and make a name for himself with a good showing. That being said, I got Alexander by UD. People aren't giving Devon credit for the amount of improvement he has made in the past year or so. I think he can beat anyone at 147 beside Mayweather of course
