Comments Thread For: Brandon Rios Sets His Sights on Kell Brook Showdown

[Agent Mulder]

Brook is naturally a lot bigger. I can't picture Rios bullying him or having much success trying to get inside. Brook embarrasses him. Brook by UD.

Kell Brook beats the breaks off Brandon! Horrendous fight but he'd still be the best name on Kells resume.

It would be interesting if Brook could stop him tho!

so you mean brook is a middleweight

No. I mean that Rios is a smaller/slouchy/flabby welterweight. Tough as nails though.

Despite Alvarado looking like sh it his last fight, Rios looked like he improved. As long as he uses the jab and smart footwork instead of following brook I'm giving him a chance

Rios is Brooks worst nightmare

People didn't get to see how Brook reacts in the later rounds with 30 something stitches in his leg. Rios is gonna break him down and KO him

Never going to happen. Brook punches harder than anyone Rios has faced. Pacquiaoo hurt Rios, Brook will stop him. Brook is pretty much a middleweight. I'd rather he fight GGG than Rios lol

Love that pic in your sig. The reaosn I started that "Who is the greatest fighter since Muhammed Ali" Poll is cos I thought Manny was getting close to Ali-level of achievement.

Lets not forget about the Kell Brook vs Carson Jones fight. Brook was VERY lucky to get the decision. You get the feeling that Kell as going too hard on the old nose candy in the run up to it cos he looked like warmed up dog ****, had to withstand a barrage of punishment from a guy that most people would call a bum and till needed the judges to win. Rios is certainly a better fighter than Carson Jones.

I wouldn't mind seeing this match up, make it happen Arum and Hearn. I could see Brook winning a decision in southern California or in the U.K. but I could see Rios being in beast mode like the warrior that he is. Would be entertaining to see.

...brook absolutely freaks out when he gets hit in the nose... confused porter,in an ugly fight where he held all night... jo jo dan who is basically a glorified goat herder who shouldnt be any where near the top level.... rios is tough tough work for brook

Jones: Learning curve. Greatly improved. Watch Jones 2.
Porter: Did what was required to nullify illegal punches.
Dan: Mandatory.
Rios: Punchbag.

Rios has zero chance against Brook. It's a totally pointless fight.

Brook has worked on the weakness that was shown in that fight: stamina.

He beat Jones' ass for the first 5-6 rounds, it was extremely one sided and he ran out of gas....if proved to be a very good thing and a wake up call he needed. He got his warning and has corrected the problem.

The Porter fight was far more taxing (stamina wise) than the first half of the Jones fight was. Porter was very tired in the final rounds whole Brook looked the same as he did in round 1.

The Jones wake up call is one of the best things that could have happened IMO.
