    I dont see how this is even a debate. Jones was able to get some work done yet again and his stamina is a joke.

    Hes hust the next British hype job and its all coming crashing down the second he steps up.

      Brook needs to sort some basic stuff pretty soon.

      His stamina is poor. Though he has been inactive and has gone through two training camps so may have overtrained. But still the Brook from the first four rounds last night was world class, after that he was pretty average.

      After that he needs to work out what hes going to do on the inside. He's not quick footed enough to stay away from inside guys, and his defense in there is very leaky. If i was his trainer i'd tell him to clinch, even though its against the rules. He does that against Jones then Jones barely lands a punch on him.

      Other than that Brook is a decent fighter. Might not be the quickest but he has good timing, a sweet hard jab and good power. People writing him off against the massively overrated Alexander are jumping the gun a bit imo.

        He already got exposed by Jones in the first fight.

          Exposed? I hate that word.

          Exposed as what? He's a world level welterweight.

          It is very likely he'll only lose to a champion when he does first taste defeat. That's hardly being exposed.

          Brook doesn't trust his stamina it seems. He could've and probably should have got Carson Jones out of there in 3. He was hitting him at will and with every punch he threw for 3 rounds. If he stepped it up the ref would have had to pull the plug.

          I'd pick Bradley to beat him. But I'd back him against Broner and Alexander.

            Depends on the opponent. If it's Alexander...then no.

                im pretty confident alexander would have beaten him. seems he knew it too. i dont even think brook is world level tbh. he does a lok of stuff good, but he does nothing great and he does some things horribly.

                  No he wasn't, he was against Kell Brook.

                    I assume you mean Jones?

                    But ok fair enough the guy was limited but Brook was doing what he had to do. His jab was working perfectly, he was knocking Jones around the ring with his right hand and Jones wasnt in the fight. If he doesnt lose stamina after that he stops him quicker and never gets in trouble.

                      Yeah my bad lol.

                      Beating Jones doesn't make you world class at all though.
