Kell brook doesn't want rios to use MX gloves

[Weebler I]

Frank Warren said the other day that he thought the glove (also the Reyes horsehair glove) was getting banned too, because one of his fighters were using it. I think it might have been Eubank Jr actually - anyways, it doesn't protect the fighter's hands enough and there's not enough padding in it.

As if Brook would give a shyt.

If that were true, why would fighters continue to wear them?

Basically, what it sounds like is that the BBBoC are going to ban puncher's gloves.

Does he also want Hearn as special guest referee?

The sanctioning body should just decide on the gloves - in each case to remove the room for such issues.

But Brook should wait for Bradley now? The guy who turned down Rios and turned down the chance to be Brook's mandatory?

Yes he should. I tell you why.
Bradley made a smart decision because now he can fight for the WBO belt and he doesn't have to take another step to fight for a belt. If he gets the WBO belt he could unify with Brook easily IF Brook would be able to fight in September maybe... You know one month different a few weeks, not that big. In change instead of Rios he would have a chance to an unification with Bradley. For Bradley an unification fight would take two steps Vargas-->Brook and a Brook mandatory fight would take him also two steps: Rios-->Brook. So why the fuck he should fought Rios? Now he can two belts with two fights instead one belt with two fights. And Brook would have an unification fight on his very next fight IF Hearn would actually want to make it. One month, that's the difference. Don't tell me that for an unification with Bradley they can't change this "end of August" BS.

Scenario 1 (what you said): Bradley beats Rios in June --> Bradley vs Brook in September for the IBF belt. (But Brook wants to fight in August not September doe)

Scenarion 2 (what would be the best): Bradley beats Vargas now, collect the WBO belt --> Bradley vs Brook for the unified IBF/WBO belt probably sometimes in September. But as we all know Brook and Hearn wants that fight in August, Spetember isn't okay for them not even for an unification they have to decide that they fight Rios in August already.

Scenario 3 (what will happen imo) Bradley collects that WBO belt and there's no arrow because Brook will fight Rios in August and after that Hearn will continue to bank on that Khan fight with C level opponents.

[HEND]

You ignore the fact that Bradley actually fights for a world title on his next fight like it would be nothing.
Yeah he should fight Rios instead to be Brook's mandatory but Brook can't wait till September to unify with him, if he beats Vargas...
It must be Rios in August.

Let's play Kell-end game. Thurman's opposition is Brook's fault. Had he agreed to fight him then it wouldn't have been Collazo.

Just to put things in perspective Brook signed with Hearn around 2011 and has had 12 fights under him. Almost that whole time he was a mandatory challenger and fought whom really? Topping bills against Matthew Hatton or Carson Jones isn't much to brag about, but better than being on a Nathan Cleverly under card I guess. Let's not pretend as if Brook became what he is right now over night. He definitely learned to mooch off of Amir's name that's for sure. How else would it be a "global" fight?

Just like Brooks opposition is Khan's fault.

Khan hardly sells out arena's does he?

The MGM was around 30% full even with comped tickets against Alexander and the same was true of the Barclay's centre against Algieiri.

You could fit Khan's fanbase in a Bolton mini cab, which is useful as they all drive them for a living anyway...

If that were true, why would fighters continue to wear them?

Basically, what it sounds like is that the BBBoC are going to ban puncher's gloves.

I don't know? Because it's a puncher's glove I suppose.

I'm just saying what's been said.

[IMDAZED]

Great. Hopefully this means this doesn't come off and Brook actually takes on a top welter.

[LacedUp]

Great. Hopefully this means this doesn't come off and Brook actually takes on a top welter.

Let's hope Khan continues fighting a string of 140lb featherfisted bums coming off losses.

[FlatLine]

Truth is Rios will be the best opponent Brook's fought for a whole year. I like the fight, it's a step in the right direction for Brook and I'd like to see what he can do to the durable but limited Rios. Make it happen.

[JACK1190]

Nah. Thats a straight b*tch move. I hate giving fighters a disadvantage for your gain. Kell is my favourite fighter but best believe I'll call him out on his bull**** unlike Khan fans.

Probably Hearn making these decisions though and not Kell.
