Eddie Hearn wants Kell Brook vs Brandon Rios in December in Sheffield

[MDPopescu]

He has stated in interviews since Kell Brook beat Shawn Porter that he wants Brook to face Brandon Rios or maybe Josesito Lopez.

What are your thoughts on a Kell Brook vs Brandon Rios fight?

... Hearn said: Rios, Berto, Lopez and Guerrero in play...

Good first defence IMO, I watched the video last night and out of the names Eddie mentioned either Rios or Lopez would be viable, but either way I'll be going so it doesn't matter.

lopez should have lost 4 out of his last 5 fights and in his last fight he got a dubious decision against over the hill mike arnoutis. how is he viable?

For a first defence he is out of the names Hearn said, and i personally think it would be a decent fight.

[YOU WILL LOSE]

brook will get his nose crushed and proceed to get beat up by rios. porter aint nothing man get in the fight with someone who knows what to on the inside. brook holds on like a wet blanket guarnateed

thats clearly not rios. abril held him all fight and he couldn't do a thing. chaves was also able to hold him for most the fight and avoid too much punishment.

you think a world champ should fight a guy who lost 4 out of 5 and got a dubious decision against a journeyman in his last fight? why?

[LacedUp]

Well where were people who were saying that Kell Brook would fight Thurman?

Marquez? etc?

Waste of time fight. He doesn't even deserve a title shot. Lopez is even worse wtf. Guess they're gonna milk this title

This is what i was afraid of. ****ing Brits always milk their title.

Go forward not back

Of course Kell is going to have a big homecoming party. I am totally ok with a soft touch. I do want to see big fights from Brook in 2015 though.

Wtf. Suddenly Rios is a 'soft touch' ? The same guy who stopped alvarado and just fought Pacquiao?

Boxing fans....

Rios is a good choice. Good name and tough fighter! It's not like he's fighting Erik Morales or Casamayor or someone completely over the hill.

Rios is a good fighter in his prime. Brook will just beat him most likely.

thats true but rios isn't getting a gift decision in the uk and i doubt they will be bringing in vik drakulich to enforce the holding rules so he is sh-it outta luck.
