      Jennings pulled out.

      I think this is a good fight for Brook (though I'm not so sure it's worthy of title eliminator status). His opponent seems durable and experienced, so that's good.

      Olubamiwo has good power, but he looks like a body builder. I wonder how many rounds he can fight before gassing out. I think he'll beat Belshaw by early KO.

      It's good to see that there are a number of entertaining UK heavyweight prospects. None of them look to have world class potential, but I think they'll give us some very good domestic level matchs ups in 2010.

        Why did Jennings pull out?

          I'm not sure. I think I read it was a wrist injury, but this fight has been on/off so many times that I might be thinking of one of the other times.

          I wonder if they'll bother trying to sort it out again.

            Jennings definatley is injured, Warren said he would get a foreign opponent in for Brook for his next fight.

              Belshaw is garbage, absolute ****e. Not often i heavily critisize Irish fighters but he has nothing going for him. he needs a new job.

                Good fight for Brook, should get by it, but surely this can't be an eliminator for Pacquiao's belt? Think of all the other WW's that are out there who deserve it more. For example: Mosely, Mayweather, Berto, Clottey, Collazo, maybe even Cotto! One day he will have a title, but not when there's so many other people who are more deserving.

                  Ha ha, yeah I thought the same thing seeing him against Audley and Fury. Still, he beat Peret, who Olubamiwo lost to, so Belshaw has a decent chance in this one.

                  Agreed, it seems like Warren is using his influence at the WBO again. At least it's an eliminator, not a final eliminator (I think?) so hopefully that means he'll have to face a top 10 opponent after this to get a shot at the belt.
