    Have you ever watched Brook fight?
    Yes, and given Brandon's style and size it's clear that Kel won't be sitting in the pocket with him to catch body shots. He adapts to his opponent and if you think he'd fight Brandon the way he fought last night, you're not paying attention.

      Brandon Rios size? Brook is a lot bigger and stronger than him.

      Brook would back him up and beat him on the inside, mix it up and pump the ramrod-jab followed by a right hook on the outside. He would make Rios miss and counter with a straight right.

      Brook has never been "sticking and moving" in his entire career.

        Hell yeah, I would! Bam Bam is coming to fight. It's going to be a very entertaining fight. If the Bam Bam from the last Alvarado fight shows up, Brook is getting stopped within 8.

          I like this fight. I don't expect it to be the mismatch that some are saying it is.

          If Rios is allowed to work up close instead of the referee stepping in right away or being clinched a lot by Brook, it could become very interesting indeed. Also I want to know more about Brook's chin so a good Rios right hand will also let us know that.

                Why are you not interested in seeing Brook challenged?

                  No this would be batting practice for Kell Brook. Rios would be too slow just to get any of his punches in, from all the constant moving, angles, clinching and combination punching from Brook. This bout is a total mismatch. That's why his promoter Hearns is pushing for it. Brandon is not a substantial threat to Kell Brook in no way. Eddie is overly confident that his guy is the superior fighter will defeat him quite comfortably because of the skill differentiation between the two.

                      It's certainly a huge step up fight compared to Dan and Gavin.
