Kell Brook Avoiding Keith Thurman? [video]

[New England]

thurman's style is much more well suited to take down brook. he'd deal with brook's strength and clinches with movement and combinations.


thurman on points. kell's a good fighter, but thurman's a better one, and the styles are all wrong for our kell.

He has a title,

Seems like ur makin a lot of excuses for Brook to avoid Thurman

Thurman wud earn Brook his biggest pay cheque to date, thats undeniable

but i guess ur fine with Brook fighting the likes of Frankie Gavin for 200k

You're saying he earns 200k a fight but he's gonna get 10 times more to fight Thurman

Climb out of Khan's hoop

Wow that's so convenient Dirk. Just a day or two ago you were defending Hatton's duck of Witter as "American TV had no interest."

Khan-Brook would be on American TV but it wouldn't be staged in America

Let guess... Thurman knocks out Mayweather?

Oh yeah HBO would definitely pass on a Ricky Hatton fight.

I never said they would....?

What are you talking about? Like I keep saying, I think you need a break from NSB - this whole Khan/Brook saga has got you speaking in tongues now basically.

This is of course from the other thread.

No, but you said Witter stunk up the joint with Showtime with Judah implying that HBO wouldn't pick up the Hatton-Witter fight because of what Showtime thought. Weird.

Again, that too is wrong because they were okay with broadcasting Bradley-Witter from England later. Bradley is the guy who sold 339 tickets against Devon in a 10 k facility btw.

I believe Hatton is not grilled the same as Khan. The whole "he was setting up fights with this and that" is in hindsight. All the ingredients were there and if Ricky wanted it they would've got it done. You along with many just don't want to admit it and hence, there is a double standard.

Edit: Relevance to this thread? Well, you said Brook is unknown in America and the fight is a British event. Same would've gone for Hatton-Witter.

Khan isn't Hatton and never will be.

Khunt would struggle to sell out a Bolton taxi rank.

Many of Khans US fights have hugely comped tickets.

He couldn't even sell tickets in Sheffield against Diaz, they were giving them away pre-fight.

Physically its a good match-up.

Both are very natural 147 fighters with power and good timing.

I'd edge Thurman, but it could be a great fight.

American TV weren't interested in Witter after that awful showing against Judah. If you can name me some Junior Witter fights that were on a major American TV network before he became world champion, I'd love to hear about them.

Again, that too is wrong because they were okay with broadcasting Bradley-Witter from England later. Bradley is the guy who sold 339 tickets against Devon in a 10 k facility btw.

That's because Witter was a world champion at that point and had put in a good performance against Harris. This must have been 6 odd years after the Judah debacle. Plus he was fighting an American and Carl Froch was also on the card in what was supposed to be a world title fight.

Hatton has certainly been grilled over the Witter thing. Maybe you only got into boxing for Khan but I was around. Hindsight? What are you on about? It's what actually happened.

Edit: Relevance to this thread? Well, you said Brook is unknown in America and the fight is a British event. Same would've gone for Hatton-Witter.

Yeah and by the time Witter had won a world title, Hatton had signed to fight Urango with Castillo on the under card which then lead to Castillo and Mayweather. Witter missed the boat.

Hatton-Witter would have been a British event but American TV would only have been interested when Witter got onto the world stage and he was too late.
