    Brook/Bradley = Matthysse/Postol.

    The order of the names defines the outcome.

    To date Shawn Porter is the one person Brook hasn't walked through. In that fight, Brook was clinching for dear life, then striking when Porter was mentally unprepared. Porter lost that fight not because Brook was any better, but because Porter gets caught ****** - which is why he got dropped by a single punch he didn't see coming against Broner after a dominant 11 rounds.

    Bradley, on the other hand, isn't one to allow clinching to go on too much. There was very little of it in either Pacquiao fight, the Ruslan fight or the Vargas fight. Chaves is dirty, so that's the exception.

    A few well placed body strikes from Bradley, and Special K will become Special KO.

      He did. I read that too and was scratching my head.

        Brook is answerable ultimately to Hearn

        I had no idea Brook was signed under Haymon

          Haymon doesn't have Bradley or Brook...

            I feel like Hearn isn't gonna wanna match Brook tough for awhile still so I'll be surprised if this happens.

              Hope this is true. This and the Porter/Thurman fight are the fights that will start to define the WW division without Floyd and Manny.

                  Yea last I heard Brook wasn't managed by Haymon. Some of Hearn's guys have manager deals with him, but not Brook. Hearn definitely has a relationship with Haymon, but he doesn't exclusively deal with PBC/Haymon by any stretch of the imagination.

                      There's a lot of talent at 147 but none of them are fighting each other. It's ****ing ridiculous.

                      If this fight gets made at least we get one good matchup.
