    Hopefully Kell will end Rios once and for all, and goes on to bigger and better things, its not a bad match up
    You know i wonder how many more people will back you on this?.? Im a fan of brook and everyone knew this was coming, but this fight just dosnt cut it after all the talk. First we said jo jo dan,mandatory fair enough,how many fight has it been since then tho?? The injury fair enough,but that dosnt look like its slowed him down at all...point being stop dropping names and taking the easier fights that they said they wouldnt be doing

      Kind of a pointless fight... Brook should have fought Thurman.

        BORING! Rios is a retread blown up lightweight. Brook needs to step up. He's gone backwards since beating Porter. Brook vs Thurman is the fight I want to see.

          Khan should fight Thurman imo.

            Thurman is fighting Collazo

            Brook-Thurman will happen, both guys want it and have a lot of respect for each other. Brook needs to become a bigger name in the US for a Thurman fight to be lucrative though. That's exactly the POINT of this fight - raise Brook's profile.

              Majorly dislike khan but I have to agree with his stance on why hes not fighting brook due to lack of opponents.

              Pointless fight, Rios is a far cry from elite, brook and his team know he'll never step up and is coasting to get a big payday win or lose against Floyd, Manny or khan.

              Amazing how "fans" are still commenting 'hope he gets better opposition' farking wake up idiots.

                You mean you jump on and off the bandwagon when it suits you?

                Either that or you are bi-polar. You definitely have some kind of mental illness.

                  Thurman also needs to build his name in the US before taking on Brook.

                  That fight should be a dual PPV fight, but right now it isn't.

                    Rios is a better welterweight than Algieri- That's for sure.

                      I don't know if it'll be PPV in America. Thurman got $1.5m for his last fight against Guerrero. He'll want more to face Brook. Brook will want a lot also to travel. The money isn't there yet.
