Rios-Brook Not Happening

[The Problem Child]

Euro bums being euro bums. They fight nobodies over there, take one shot at beating a green title holder in the states and then take the title hostage back to Bumland.

Don't know how Brook can put on a performance in the sweet science of boxing like he did against Porter but then suddenly steps back down and now is having trouble agreeing to fight Brandon Rios? A guy who hasn't done anything at 147...and can't box on the outside to save his life.

Rios isn't even a good opponent he isn't a Top 10 Welterweight.

Algieri would school Rios...and Eddie & brook mocked Khan for fighting Algieri ? please.

Say what you want about Rios but the dude is entertaining and they are doing him dirty right now.

Rios should join Haymon

That's exactly what I was thinking. Bob Arum is FOS.

Was a crappy fight anyways. Rios, a ligntweight flies to Englad to fight a hometown champ? Give me a break.

Brook should unify, not fight another bum or a lightweight.

Rios is no more of a lightweight than Amir Khan is. It sounds very ****** when people still categorize a fighter in his first weight class.

Hopefully its because Brook is fighting a better, more worthy opponent.
I'm a fan but I won't accept a third tune up fight in a row.

Agreed.


The lighter weights (<175lbs) have really good fighters in America. The best ones are in America. There should be no excuse for European fighters to fight in Europe with such good opposition and money in America.

Thank god. Have Kell fight Bradley, I'm sure Sadam Ali would be happy to take a step aside fee and fight the winner a few months later?

I'd be down for Book-Algieri. Chris is a tough kid and it could be an entertaining fight.
