Comments Thread For: Jones Warns Kell Brook: Now There Will Be No Escape

[Earl-Hickey]

Agree 100%. It's at the stage where it just seems like he's taking the piss

Steve Bunce said the other day "It's getting on 5 years now we've been talking about Kell Brook being almost ready for a title shot"

I don't often agree with bunce but he's right on that one, and it's a joke

I have long feared he doesn't have the mentality to be an elite fighter.

He's taking no chances on Brook's stamina (or lack thereof).

It's very odd. Shouldn't have taken Carson Jones without it being a 12 rounder at 147. It completely undermines the point of showing that Brook's improved. I suspect that he hasn't improved; his quick fire win after Carson Jones showed little IMO. And it looks like he might be in worse shape than last time...unless the gurus at Sheffield Halam think that Brook's at light middle. The 10 rounds tells me this isn't so though...

All this, and fact Hearn seems to be promoting Brook a little less tells me that Brook may be in for a tough night come Saturday...

Why would anyone apart from you be interested in that fight? Jones is a decent opponent for short notice and a chance to put right what happened in the first fight.

Disappointed it's only 10 rounds unless Brook can blast him out early this time. If it goes 10, it doesn't completely answer the questions from the first fight.

Jones is a decent opponent but as you say he's relying on a KO or a shut-out to really answer the questions from the first fight.

On Van Heerden, at least it would be for a world title which while a paper title is still better than no title at all (or imo a 10-rounder with Carson Jones).

I can see Jones taking Brook out. Someone that says they fell out of love with boxing is worrying. Jones is up for this and will try to impose himself again on Brook but earlier on. iffy fight.

Brook HAS to win this fight clearly to be taken seriously at world level. I think he'll do that. Kell has a lot of knockers and Jones is a tough warrior who'll put it all in but I see the visitor getting rescued, defiant and still on his feet but a beaten man around the eighth round.

[Light_Speed]

I really don't understand why there even fighting again whats the logic?. Brook should be moving on fighting people with different styles at world level.

Bit of a pointless fight for me, Ud for Brook though I would imagine..

Hmm maybe because the first fight was close and Brook got beat up in the late rounds and looked like he was gonna get TKO'd several times in the fight? Just a wild guess.

Yeah, and it was a hell of a fight. Anyone that's seen it is not complaining about the rematch, only that it's 10 rounds
