    we don't actually know how good brook is yet -- he's never fought on this level before. so let's wait and see how he looks before deciding how much credit he's worth.

      We've seen enough of Kell Brook to form an opinion of him.

      It sounds like you're going to say that Brook wasn't that good if Devon beats him. Or if Brook wins you're going to say that Devon was right to be criticized in the first place.

        if brook fights like shit, i will say he fought like shit. if he fights well enough and still gets beat, i'll give alexander plenty of credit. i don't get how you can distribute credit before you've actually seen the fight.

          If Devon comes to fight and sit down on his punches he should win.
          IMO he won't get any better until he switches trainers.
          Kevin Cunningham is limiting his growth and can't teach him anything new.
          I think Devon already has good defense so a guy like Roach would help him put together some combinations. Besides who doesn't get tired of hearing Cunningham talk for Devon all the time. I sometimes forget that it's Devon's fight and not his how much that dude speaks at the conference.

            But Brook is pretty good, i hope Devon doesnt bore this fight to hell
            Oh yeah, he was. I was thinking about Matthyse's robberies for some reason. Kotenik and Matthyse won cleanly.

            Devon is still pretty good, though. I expect this to be a really competitive fight if Brook doesnt gas out after six again, but Devon should win.

              If Devon beats Brook, its a decent win over a 147 contender. If Brook beats Devon, its a win over a 2 weight champ and guy whos been a tough fighter against tiugh opposition. Its a good win for Brook as opposed to a decent win for Devon.
