Comments Thread For: Brook-Chaves Looms, as Bizier-Lawson in IBF Eliminator

The coward came over to the US and schooled one of Haymon's boys for the title

Which is turning out to be a pointless fight bcuz hes gone back to fightn at the level he was before that..whats the point of having the title? He has the title but hes a non-factor. at 147

Weak fight to be honest considering they promised a huge super fight after the two title defenses against Jo Jo and Frankie Gavin. Had some hope it was going to be Bradley but it seems like Brook and Hearn are going to Milk this title at home as much as they can...it's a shame really, he's pushing 30 years of age and he's making absolute peanuts when he's an undefeated world champion and should be earning a million plus a fight...

How do you know what he's earning? Brook obviously will make more fighting in the UK unless a huge offer comes in from America which it hasn't.

So does this mean that after Chaves, he has to face the winner of the eliminator next?

He'll have to fight him within 9 months of the previous mandatory defense according to the IBF rules. In practice though, he'll probably have a year before he has to face another mandatory.

Chaves has been in competitive fights with Thurman and Bradley. Was quite clearly beating Rios until the bogus DQ. So what level are you talking about?

Not sure but Bradley would be a unification which would likely supersede any mandatory obligation

He doesn't deserve a title shot. He lost his last fight

His last fight was ruled a draw against Bradley. He was coming off a "loss" when Bradley fought him. That was ok doe.

If you take this out of context its an acceptable fight but after winning the title in a roid induced clinch fest then getting knifed in a gay dance club, jojo dan, frankie gavin, this is one of the more pathetic champions in recent memory, but hey at least theres khan to salvage everything

Par of the course for British cowards. One good win and then hide from any legitimate challenges for the rest of your career.

Ironic to see you support such cowardice considering you expect so much more out of fighters from other countries.

What's funny is the last 3 to come stateside to try have all won... although i don't think McDonell won
