Comments Thread For: Kell Brook: Robles Will Not Keep Me From Title Shot

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Kell Brook is determined not to let Alvaro Robles ruin another chance of a world title shot.

Brook is the mandatory challenger for the IBF welterweight title, but firstly must get past Mexican Robles on Saturday's big Liverpool bill, live on Sky Sports.

Injuries prevented Brook from battling Devon Alexander for the IBF belt last year and a world title shot was further delayed when the American lost his title to compatriot Shawn Porter in December.

Well obviously he won't Kelly Brook***8230; Otherwise you wouldn't fight him!

Robles have KOed a bunch of nobodies and has been KOed twice himself.

Nice try of Brook trying to hype him.

Why does everyone assume that all British boxers have a massive fallowing and are big celebrities here?

99 out of 100 people in the UK wouldn't know Kell Brook if they walked past him in the street.

95 out of 100 people would think you were talking about Kelly Brook the model.

And while I'm at it, Amir Khan does not have a 'huge' following in the UK either. Just because someone is British, doesn't mean they are automatically the next Ricky Hatton popularity-wise.

I see Matchroom have found their man on the street.

Eddie Hearn's keeping you away from live opponents is what it is.

More like "robles wont get in the way of Carson Jones trilogy".

Well he did use Khan's name on twitter to hype this fight up as always and now people care. Im predicting the post fight interview would be something like "im gonna knock Khan out" to get people to actually give a damn.

Brook is not a superstar, I agree. But to say Amir Khan doesn't have a big following is just absurd. Ever since the 2004 Olympics he's been a household name. And I'm not even trying to blow on his trumpet, I'm not a big Khan fan, I do enjoy the entertainment value you get with him though. Very talented, but could get KO'd at any time.
