    At least Brook will save up on training costs by doing additional bag work in place of sparring. It is not as if he'll need any to fight Punching Bag Bag Rios.

      The only real achievement in this fight for Kell is a KO.

        He must be loving it he has minimal skills and just keeps getting huge payday after huge payday and copious title shots for no reason other than because he frankly offers zero risk to anybody who can box.

        Just a guy known for his toughness/how many punches he can eat.
        Hearn & Brook are milking that belt for all its worth and taking the path of least resistance everytime out.

        Seriously a rubbish, highly predictable mismatch. The only intrigue is if Brook can be the first to stop him.
        just don't jump back on the bandwagon. Rios is a good fighter, did much better vs Pac than Algieri.

          Pretty poor fight really.

          Especially after two sub par opponents already this year.

            What has Rios done above lightweight?

              Anyone see that video going around on social media where Rios mocks other boxer's styles?

              He should actually use a few of them so he doesn't get hit

                  I think this will be the first time Rios will not be the physically stronger guy. Unless he can hurt Brook, Brandon's going to get outboxed and mauled. Could be an ugly fight.

                    This bum Rios gets beat by Algieri.

                    Another bum opponent for Brook, this guy supposed to be a world champ and he fighting 3 bums in a row - dan, gavin, rios? wtf?

                      Rios isn't the most skille fighter out there but we've seen brook struggle with lesser competition, I'm surprised at how badly people are rating rios. It will be an interesting fight that's for sure
