Comments Thread For: Hearn: If Alexander Loses, Brook-Purdy in The Fall

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Promoter Eddie Hearn hopes Lee Purdy can pull off a huge upset when he tackles IBF welterweight champion Devon Alexander next month and set up an all-British autumn showdown with Kell Brook.

Sheffield stylist Brook - who boasts an unblemished 29-fight record - was diagnosed with a stress fracture to his foot earlier this week, forcing his proposed challenge to American Alexander to be cancelled for a third time.

Matchroom Promotions stablemate Purdy stepped into the breach as mandatory challenger by virtue of his number four ranking with the IBF and faces a daunting assignment on May 18 at Atlantic City's famous Boardwalk Hall.

So they are scare of alexander and are banking on Purdy to upset applecart. SMH @ team Brook, they are looking like cowards!!

Wouldn't Alexander have a rematch clause? Since lee isn't a mandatory so this is wishful thinking IMO.

Yeah Purdy has no chance gets KO'd 2nd half of the fight he is barely European level gets outclassed here.

Well said. Only undefeated fighters should fighter for world titles.

It's not like a young fighter would learn anything in a points loss to a wily old pro, is it.

I don't mind this fight... inactivity for any person because of a glass footed ****** is bad for anybody.
Is it a good fight?
No, but Alexander at least gets a fight in and Purdy gets a shot and money.
Not Alexander's fault Brook is made of paper
