Comments Thread For: Hearn: Brook's Ankle Hurt, I Requested 3-4 Week Bump

[badnewsbrown]

Funny thing is there wasn't even an official announcement of the fight here in the UK. I think they planned this...

[Evil Abed]

I've been hearing the injury is bogus and Brook just needed more time to get ready. Wouldn't be suprised if it's true as the date has come quick.

Sounds like you like to pass bull**** rumors.

No dog in this fight for me. But that sounds like a lie.

i generally don't pass on such rumours, but there were indications leading upto this. For a such a big fight that's taking place from a month from now and have no build-up or even an announcement means something ain't right.

Damn, I was looking forward to this one.

[IronDanHamza]

Noooooooo!

Well, they didn't get it fully arranged until a couple weeks ago.

Build up for Brook fights only usually happens over here 3-4 weeks out, so we'd have been getting close to build-up starting. 3-4 weeks suggests something minor has taken place, be it a rolled ankle or something else. They wont extend camp for no reason, no trainer or fighter wants to add a month to camp duration.

Why would they 'plan' this? Brook has been working towards this for two years.

If anyone is going to duck, it'll be Alexander.

Past 2 years? If he was so eager to becoming champ he would have just faced Bradley. Also he was given a shot at Mike Jones way back, which would have been an eliminator or vacant title, but again turned it down.

I very much doubt a guy like Alexander who has had a much tougher run of fights want to duck a guy like Brook.

No he wouldn't have.

After watching Top Rank rob their #1 guy in Pacquiao against Bradley, why would Brrok have travelled to fight that same guy when he could win an eliminator and fight Alexander in a neutral location instead?

If they were willing to rob Manny Pacquiao, they wouldn't think twice about robbing Kell Brook.
