So what do you make of him?
His only recognised two opponents were Selkul Aydin who is a sloppy brawler that was KO'd by Postol and Kevin Bizier who many could argue won their rematch.
The guys not a big WW, he is just lanky.
I guess he is probably no worse than Rodrick "Lion King" Salka but no better either.
He doesnt have the best chin by the looks of it gets rocked quite easily.
I expect Brook to demolish this guy within 9 rds.
I've seen Dan fight he isn't bad, I thought he won the first fight against Aydin was a good scrap. Didn't watch the rematch but heard that was razor close too.
It almost no way are Dan and Salka comparable. Dan is a step under world level he will drift between titles as mandatory challenger but may never be good enough to win (unless the stab affected Brooks really badly), Salka isn't anywhere close.
He's not Salka bad, but he's bad. He's definitely not in the top 15 at welterweight and possibly not even in the top 20.
He's Kell mandatory though, so you can't really complain.
Not comparable at all.
The Garcia Salka fight actually gave me nightmares. It was like watching a cute fluffy kitten being ripped to shreds by an ape.
I'm sorry you'll have to excuse me, it still makes me queasy thinking about it.
Ya it's a shame, I think that pistol fight is a great matchup. How can Garcia keep his belt if hasn't defended it in a year.
Haymon effect bruh...
It is not so bad if the Peterson fight is unification but its not and both get to keep their belt.
Kell might demolish Jo Dan within 9 according to TS but it better than Garcia knocking out Salka in 2..
Now on the other hand, Garcia's mandatory is Vikor Postol but he chose to fight Salka and now Peterson..

No way should he be a mandatory. It's a ****in joke fight. And to be honest salka isn't a bad fighter, he just has no business at the upper level and we saw that. He was taught well by spadafora who is a great fighter but he has his limitations.
It is what it is. Never have seen much of Jo Dan but the IBF have made him the mandatory. Its not Brook's fault.

Salka wasn't a mandatory unlike Jo Jo Dan
He was a lightweight fightng at lightwelterweight to be a sacrificial lamb for Garcia
No way is Jo Dan a Sucka type fighter..

Uh...one guy is a ranked contender by all the sanctioning bodies who just hasn't had his chance yet.
The other guy was ranked by none of the sanctioning bodies, never fought at 140, wasn't even in the top 75 of his own weight class and hadn't beaten anyone in the top 100.
Not even close.
In the sense he is a mandatory who is not really nothing special, is weak although his shoddy record suggests otherwise.
I guess its okay for a first defence due to his injury.
