CARSON JONES insists he will not let Kell Brook off the hook again in their rematch on Saturday.
The welterweights clash at Hull’s Craven Park just a year after American Jones gave Sheffield’s Brook a major fright.
When they fought in Sheffield, Brook suffered a broken nose in the eighth round and had to pull out all the stops to get a majority points decision.
The careers of both men have stuttered since due to injury, so Jones believes they are back to where they were for the first fight and this time he intends to put Brook away.

Hmm maybe because the first fight was close and Brook got beat up in the late rounds and looked like he was gonna get TKO'd several times in the fight? Just a wild guess.

Yeah, and it was a hell of a fight. Anyone that's seen it is not complaining about the rematch, only that it's 10 rounds
I really don't understand why there even fighting again whats the logic?. Brook should be moving on fighting people with different styles at world level.
Bit of a pointless fight for me, Ud for Brook though I would imagine..

Brook HAS to win this fight clearly to be taken seriously at world level. I think he'll do that. Kell has a lot of knockers and Jones is a tough warrior who'll put it all in but I see the visitor getting rescued, defiant and still on his feet but a beaten man around the eighth round.
I can see Jones taking Brook out. Someone that says they fell out of love with boxing is worrying. Jones is up for this and will try to impose himself again on Brook but earlier on. iffy fight.
Why would anyone apart from you be interested in that fight? Jones is a decent opponent for short notice and a chance to put right what happened in the first fight.
Disappointed it's only 10 rounds unless Brook can blast him out early this time. If it goes 10, it doesn't completely answer the questions from the first fight.
Jones is a decent opponent but as you say he's relying on a KO or a shut-out to really answer the questions from the first fight.
On Van Heerden, at least it would be for a world title which while a paper title is still better than no title at all (or imo a 10-rounder with Carson Jones).
He's taking no chances on Brook's stamina (or lack thereof).
It's very odd. Shouldn't have taken Carson Jones without it being a 12 rounder at 147. It completely undermines the point of showing that Brook's improved. I suspect that he hasn't improved; his quick fire win after Carson Jones showed little IMO. And it looks like he might be in worse shape than last time...unless the gurus at Sheffield Halam think that Brook's at light middle. The 10 rounds tells me this isn't so though...
All this, and fact Hearn seems to be promoting Brook a little less tells me that Brook may be in for a tough night come Saturday...
Steve Bunce said the other day "It's getting on 5 years now we've been talking about Kell Brook being almost ready for a title shot"
I don't often agree with bunce but he's right on that one, and it's a joke
I have long feared he doesn't have the mentality to be an elite fighter.
Hearn decided it was Brook or Julio Diaz and the latter apparently asked for too much money (as did Shane Mosley). Imo Brook should have fought IBO champ Van Heerden who just beat Matthew Hatton.

I hope Brook gets KTFO, i've had enough of him
LOL, as a boxing fan I'm tired of his fight pull-outs too but I give him the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully he can turn his career around.

Bear in mind it's a 10-rounder.
I do hope Brook doesn't do a "Bradley" and try to get him out of there early.
10 rounder? Really?! Makes me think Big Eddie's worried...
Got a feeling something's happened with Brook, that he's lost motivation or something. The catchweight request is telling. I'm going with Carson Jones by late stoppage, in a similar fight to last time.
