Comments Thread For: Brook: I Was Ready To Take That Title, I'm in Shock

[LacedUp]

Yes. Brook injured his ankle.

I immediately thought the same thing. He definitely should not start talking ****. Because the same thing happened to him.

If you go and listen to the interview - it wasn't as if he was trash talking Alexander for being injured - that would obviously be ironic. He's just gutted really - which he's entitled to be. I think both these guys need a proper break before fighting. They have been in camp for a long while, now they both need at least 4-5 weeks before they start training again. So I'm banking on a summer fight.

If all you yanks are saying theres no injury its about ticket sales then the bout should be in England.

We would have put on a show in front or 20,000 people and millions on tv the reason been we support our fighters unlike the american audience but like a typical american wont travel abroad.

Im expecting a load of abuse from the americans but remember everybody says the British are the greatest boxing fans in the world

"go" as in fight, or as in resume preparations?

if he means Devon can fight in six weeks, that only delays the fight by a month.

but where shall the fight take place?

I'm not sure.

I wasn't sure. I was just saying he definitely should not be. Don't blame him one bit for being bitterly disappointed.

prelim fight not a draw

Alexander-brook is a prelim type fight
come to reason here: this fight is a prelim type of fight for the undercard of a major fight. neither of these guys could give away tickets in Detroit crime city USA. no drawing power

too bad, i was really looking forward to this fight ever since GBP announced it last year
