Comments Thread For: Kell Brook: My Team Wants Me To Go To 154 Pounds

[LacedUp]

If you actually followed the sport back then you'd be aware that Brook was in a very similar position to what Spence is in now except he actually pulled out of his mandatory shot against Alexander due to injury and didn't reschedule, that got him a lot of the bad rep he has from some fans. Spence has not even had the luxury of signing for the fight yet let alone pull out.

I shouldn't be explaining this to you but as usual you embarrass yourself with a lack of knowledge of anything pre the Golovkin hype train.

What you said about Alexander is a damn lie.

Both got injured and last time Brook got injured, the IBF allowed him to face Porter, who he lost to, who Brook then beat.

If you actually followed the sport then.

What extension???

He fought Robles in March 2014, a month before Porter fought Malignaggi. Why would he sign for a fight a whole month before the Champ if Porter requested an extension??

That's like saying Wilder requested an extension to fight Povetkin but Povetkin was the first to take an interim fight.

Do you at least have a link??

Dude stop talking.

I was amazed at how long Brook stayed at 147??? Dude looked pretty solid when he went up unlike Khan who was all flab...

Are you sure youre from the uk? noone here wants to see it, noones heard of spence

Pretty sure mate, only casuals don't want to see it but they'll still watch it. If Khan keeps pu$$ying out then who do you want Brook to fight? He gets big numbers whoever he fights.

Assuming Khan doesn't want it it'll be interesting to see what Kell does, fight Spence or go to 154 are the options. The latter I suspect. Eddie ripped Eubank for wanting an easy fight for big money and says fights should be competitive, but he's doing the same with Brook.

This is who Cotto should be fighting, not Kirkland.

Too bad Lara isn't worth any money, I'd love to see that fight. Also, IBF JWM/WW - Jermall/Brook would be awesome. I'd like to see how Brook would handle Jermall's power after GGG. Jermall looked way bigger than J-Rock, and Brook looks to be a bit smaller than J-Rock.

Don't be so quick to think Kirkland is going to be easy work for Cotto. Cotto is a 5-1 favorite I'm actually going to bet the dog. But I'm gonna wait a lil longer 1st make sure Kirkland keeps on point and doesn't do dumb sht like fire Ann Wolfe lol... I'll probably make my run when I see them at the weigh-in the night before.

Been on this site for 6 years so that point doesn't really apply but yeah he was injured twice and pulled out twice, the first time he pulled out Alexander faced Purdy as a late replacement. The point is Brook had his chance but pulled out, not blaming him for being injured although he has a poor record when it comes to pulling out of fights, Spence is in the same exact position now that Brook was in back then.

Did Alexander also pull out when Brook was in the shape of his life?

Yes Spence is in a mandatory position. So what?

Do you not realize Brook is not allowed to fight any time soon? What about that don't you understand?

Moving to 154 would be better. 147 everyone think they should be the A-Side fighter no matter what. WAYYY to hard to get fights there. 154 has some GOOD fighters who need to make a name for themselves and would be much easier to fight.

who would have thought it, naijaD telling fibs. somehow im not too surprised

Brook needs to understand if he staying at 147 he fighting Spence first of he's ducking. Spence is coming off solid wins and deserves hit shot. Brook needs to take that fight before worrying about old glass jaw!
