    Kell Brook vs Alvaro Robles: Thoughts?

    Just found out this is who he's fighting.....anybody have any insight into Robles?
    All I know is his best opponent was Silva and he got KTFO in that.

    In fairness Eddie Hearn did say its just a ten rounder to keep busy for the world title fight.

    and it's Brook, so it'll never be anyone decent.

      It was never supposed to be a big fight.

      He has a world title shot this summer, it was either no fight or take a tune up.

        DIdn't expect them to take this long to name an opponent though

          One of Kells toughest opponents to date.

                Brook is 27-years of age & 31-0 yet his best win is over who exactly? He has a half-decent KO win over Senchenko. The same guy who was stopped by Malignaggi

                Brook is wasting his prime. He knows the welter division is HOT and it seems his he and/or his management want to steer clear of any trouble.

                I can't even envisage Brook going in against the elite of 147; Bradley, Marquez, Pacquiao, Porter, Thurman. Too risky.

                Stay in Sheffield Kell and continue to pad out your record against the Matthew Hattons.

                  Kell's team know he hasn't got the goods to hang in there with the big boys, he avoided Alexander as his fellow team mate Witter got battered by him, he will avoid Bradley if he gets the chance because thats an even bigger risk for him.

                  I know people in the Ingle gym and they have told me how good he is, and by the sounds of it he is just another Junior Witter waiting for a payday, and absolutely scared to death of going in with Maidana, Thurman, Provo. His team are looking for fighters who are unable to pose any serious threat to him as his chin isn't the best.
