Brook's career is in neutral. This dude he's fighting has 9 losses. 9!!! He should be fighting guys with zeros and crushing them. I'd say he's pretty much wasted the last 2 years of his career treading water. He should be world class and he should be fighting world class guys.

I got Brook by decision. . . Wide decision. . . If he KO's this guy it will be pretty impressive. If you look at his resume, all his losses except against Zavec came early in his career. . . And we all know that Zavec was no PAPER CHAMP - he was a world class belt-holder IMO - very skilled. . .

I look at this fight as not quite a TRULY "two-way action", competitive fight, but definitely more than just a "gimme walkthrough". . . TUNE IN!!!

You're right - but if you look at his resume, most of those losses came early in his career during 6 and 8 rounders. . . looks like he was being fed to guys more experienced and talented than him too early in his career. . . he didn't have the benefit of being "hand guided" by a powerful promotor to get his career up and running. . .

Also, he put up a pretty close fight with Zavec, who is world class. . .

But I agree, he should be fighting better talent at this point. . . Hopefully this will be his last "journeyman" type fight. . .

I support this fight.

Jackiewicz is a decent fighter and a step up for Kell and it's a title eliminator after all.

Although I don't think he will pose any problems for Kell.

You thinking Decision or you think he'll get him out of there?

Decision and I think he poses a couple of problems to Kell. I see Kell looking good because Jackiewicz isn't like N'Dou and will try to open up, but I see Jackiewicz having some success.

I haven't seen Jackiewicz in a while though, hopefully he hasn't gone down hill. This could be a war.

I have only seen a handful of Jackiewicz' fights. But he's a decent fighter.

He doesn't seem to have much of a punch but he has some pop. He seems to be very patient and technically sound so I expect Kell to open up abit.

I don't see a war personally I think Kell will try and step it up and put on a real good performance and treat this as a coming out party some what.

But I expect to see a wide descision for Kell. Hope he looks good.

When I say war, I don't mean 12 rounds of non-stop action. More like some nice exchanges between both fighters. I expect Kell to look very good and land some nice combinations, for some reason I'm leaning towards a stoppage now?!

I have a feeling Kell forces the ref to jump in early. Some will question whether the stoppage was way too early and Jackiewicz was in no real danger..
