Comments Thread For: Kell Brook-Brandon Rios on Track For 8/29, Says Hearn

[mathed]

They had better use VADA to to test Rios because he was on some "special supplements" for that last Alvarado fight.

You realize that Thurman also has a belt, and considering Floyd is dropping his belts, Thurman is a legitimate champion.

WBA belt is better than the IBF belt... IBF had Jo Jo Dan as a Mandatory for Christ's sake.

Thurman isn't ducking anyone. Hearns won't even put Brook in with a live opponent.

Thurman has the WBA Baby Mickey Mouse belt that was invented about 6 weeks ago and was HANDED to him. But that's better than one of the oldest belts in boxing which Brook took from the champion in his own backyard? LOL

I don't actually believe Thurman is ducking anyone and neither is Brook. I was just using Hanz Goober's logic.

Don't you think Haymon and Hearn have discussed the possibility of that fight? They have a close working relationship.

Don't you think they both want it to be as big as it could possibly be because they are the new golden boys of their respective stables? To maximise the earnings for that fight, you have to build Brook's name in the US or build Thurman's name in the UK. Fighting Brandon Rios does that for Brook.

I don't know what fighting Luis Collazo's corpse does for Thurman....

I think that performance had more to do with what Alvarado was on lol

Rios wins.

All your points with mine. Deal?

100 Billion that Brook wins. I'm going to give you plenty to cover the bet anyways so don't worry about that.

he was fighting someone who didnt move and didnt clinch. brook will be doing both.

Mexican fan base. Exciting fighter. Arguably low risk, nice reward.

Pretty sure he gets a Pacquiao rematch if he puts Brook to sleep.

Nah idk about that. Who would even watch that after he got shut out that hard? I'm sure even at the time he had the physical strength to put Pacquiao out but just wasn't fast or smart enough to land much cleanly on him, and that wouldn't change if he beats Brook.

[Box-Office]

Do you think he's on the phone to Eddie Hearn asking to fight in May, HEND?

You don't get bruised like that if you're fighting Tin Tin Can or the former World wait for it.....drum roll....Amateur Champion the Brummie ****er Frankie Gavin.

"I want Mayweather and Pacquiao"


Looks utterly horrendous and almost loses to Chris "The Kickboxer" Algieri

Yeah, well besides Porter out of 35 fights what are the names that stand out of Brook's resume? At least Khan has a leg to stand on.

Brook on the other end is going to milk one win for the rest of his career until his idol gives him that pay day. I guess that's why he is liked more in UK, Hatton was the same.


Khan did NOT look horrendous, keep reaching, but it is nice bell ahhh Kell-ends expect Khan to win every single round. Must be secret fans.

A lot of excuses being made by Dirk for Brooks lack of competition thus far in his career

30 plus fights and only 1 solid name on his resume

He's a title holder now, and beggin people to buy his fights

He better hope Jousha is always on his cards cuz there is no way to justify a PPV agaisnt the likes of Rios

Notice where that criticism went? They have even invented excuses and magical theories like "Haymon reject Thurman" Ask for a source? "Common sense they are ducking Brook". "don't you think they at least Haymon-Hearn talked about it?" F.ck outta here.

Oh and I wonder how many of those excuse makers are mixed race. I mean that is the reason why Khan even has fans right?

Well you know I'm white and Dirk is Chinese.

And we know you're from Pakistan.

Not sure what all the hate is about. Rios is a credible opponent. Yes, he is one dimensional and slow. However, he is tough as nails and throws a lot of punches. Probably every bit as good as Shawn Porter in my opinion. Certainly a better opponent than Luis Collazo or that bum Guerrero is fighting next weekend.
