Now on to the next big talent, Kell Brook, the next "Naseem".
This will be a tough one for Michael Jennings, Cotto took him out in the 5th, will Kell do it faster ?
Poor Michael, the missiles will be thrown at him in a moment

VS
Kell Brook 21(14)-0-0
Michael Jennings 37(17)-2-0
WBO intercontinental belt and British Welterweight Championship
One of the bigger fights of the night sees young British hopeful Kell Brook takes his career up another notch as he faces Michael Jennings in a British title and WBO eliminator match.
Right now Brook is arguably the best young talent in the country and “Kid” will be looking to put on a barnstorming show to propel himself towards international recognition.
In Jennings he faces a vastly experienced welterweight. The 33-year-old has only suffered defeats to the one time hot-prospect Young Mutley and the top level Miguel Cotto. It’s a huge test for Brook, who may face going the full 12 rounds for the first time in his career as Jennings has the experience and technical ability to cause him problems.
Brook should set up shop behind his lightning jab and will be looking to KO the Chorley fighter, but in truth the 12 rounds would stand him in good stead for the future. Jennings is a bouncy punch and mover and he will make Brook work hard, but the youngster’s outstanding talent should prevail in the end.
The winner of this fight becomes Manny Pacquiao’s mandatory so they might be better off losing to be honest.
Thoughts? Predictions?

I'm not gonna cry over the premature stoppage. Murat sure as hell wasn't gonna win on the cards, and I doubt he could have gotten the KO in the last two rounds. But that we'll never know. Cleverly was slowing down, but so was Karo. Neither really hurt each other.
And damn, what is Naseem a heavy now?
