Comments Thread For: Kell Brook: Brandon Rios is Perfect Candidate For Me

[AgainstTheRopes]

All this talent around WW and none of them are fighting each other. Say what you want about TR but they always had their talent fight each other.

You mean like Vargas vs Bradley? That's a lousy fight as well

Should be Vargas vs Crawford and Bradley vs Ali

I don't have a problem with fighters trying to maximize their income. This is their job, its how they eat.

My problem is the network might approve this fight, thus allowing a fighter to make more by fighting an opponent that does not deserve the fight than if he took on one that did.

don't you think a 3 fight series between the frauds Thurman and brooks would make both very rich?

Yes he is perfect for u...

Gamboa-Lopez was one of many huge fights ruined due to TR and their 'let it marinate' policy.

When these promoters get themselves a great fighter and/or a big ticket seller, they all do the same thing.

lol@Robert Guerrero being a showcase

Robert Guerrero is a solid win for Thurman

Guerrero comes to fight and he's always a live dog in there.

Dirk is the ***ing spin master. Gotta give him his due

Lol he is definitely perfect for him. I really hope Bam bam surprises me and pushed Brook but in reality bam bam is a punching bag.

I disagree with the Guerrero fight being a showcase. Thurman was arguably still moving from prospect/contender to world level and Guerrero was a decent test and measure of just where he stands.

Hearn is putting Brook in there with the Gavin, Dans, Rios, etc because he knows it low risk and will still sell out arenas. Then make quick, easy work and turn around in a few weeks and fight another guy with no chance. If he wants to build Brook's name in America, he should have done a better job getting the fight Gavin televised in America especially with Joshua on the card.

Thurman's fighting Collazo because no one else willing is available and staying busy. It appears they were trying to make the Porter fight but Porter wisely chose broner instead even with the catchweight stipulation.

Like I said, both promoters are doing the exact same thing with their respective fighters.

But Brook will get the blame because he's not American. The Yank bias on this site is evident for all to see.

I've heard Thurman call out Khan and Brook. Brook calls out Khan but is strangely quiet when it comes to Thurman. He doesn't have to fight Thurman, but stop fighting the walking dead zombies. And hopefully Thurman's next fight is against a name, or the same will be said for him.

He's mentioned Thurman several times including straight after the Porter fight and after this weekend's fight.

Thurman is a brash loud Yank who runs his mouth off whereas Brook is a softly spoken Brit. Therefore Americans think he's some tough guy willing to fight anyone any time. When all he does is do what Uncle Al tells him.

Sounds pretty much like Rios.

Robert Guerrero had 1 fight in 2 years and went life n death with a Japanese fisherman.

Before that, Thurman fought Leonard Bundu who won a razor thin decision over our friend Frankie Gavin.

American doe.
