Would you be excited for a Kell Brook vs Brandon Rios fight?

[daggum]

fan friendly? lol. did you miss brook-porter? that fight was awful. i don't expect rios-brook to be any different. maybe rios takes more punches than porter but the same stylistic problems of come forward fighter vs clincher will present itself. or as some people would say "schooled!"

Fan friendly?? It's clear as day that Kel will stick and move his way to a decision. No war, no technical battle. For a great fight, you have to have guys that are going to be able to engage on some level, be it the slug fest, the chess match, etc. Not that they need to be identical, but they have to be able to engage. Here you will have the losing opponent chasing the other and failing. That's just frustrating to watch.

stick, clinch, and move should be the new term since sticking and moving is too hard for them to do.

Brook owns Rios, but sure, why not?

Hopefully by then Bob will make rios/Provo

Actually, that's absolutely correct. Guys that used to "run" are now just grabbing after a single punch attack.

Why Rios took this is beyond me. He's actually starting to show some small degree of discipline and could make good money battling it out with other cavemen. This does nothing for him and can't possibly be much of a paycheck either, compared to the options.

Why is that clear?

Have you ever watched Brook fight?

Brook will clinch all night again in a Rios fight, probably double the amount in the Porter fight, one of the most terrible fight in boxing history. Rios needs to employ rabbit punches if the ref does nothing about the hypejob's excessive clinching.
