Comments Thread For: Kell Brook vs. Sergey Rabchenko on March 3 in Sheffield

[mxtali]

We knew they would find a bum somewhere for him to fight. Just hope no one goes to watch the fight

Are you serious? After two consecutive losses and broken eye sockets who did you expect? Jermell Charlo?

Coming off two losses in 2 fights where he broke orbital bones and now moving up in weight...

Fair opponent for a comeback. People get passes for taking on much worse fighters even without these situations.

Rabchenko is probably p4p better than any of Wilder's opponents to date

Thats a pretty decent opponent for his first fight at 154.

Good test for come back, and intro to 154lb.!

[Anthony Millar]

Solid opponent, fair play to Brook. Just hope Fast Eddie doesn't take advantage and have our pants down with PPV

Not a bad come back fight at all.

Kell just fought ggg ffs then Spence, yeah he came up short in both fights but the that's still 2 p4p top 10 guys.

He had an eye socket broke in both fights and people are moaning about him fighting this guy?? I don't care if it is ppv either I haven't paid for one in about 10 years.

As for calling out Khan, they've had a grudge for years and it's a fight a lot of Brits would be very interested in. Considering where they both are in their careers it makes sense to cash out on a big fight lots of people have waited to see.

Just hope Brook doesn't get badly injured and Khan doesn't get ktfo again before they fight ����

Better than the Wilder opponents NOT on PEDs!

[slimPickings]

Not a bad opponent to test the waters in a new weight class...injury or no injury.

[Chrismart]

I don't mind too much to be honest. A new division and coming off two broken eye sockets.

You can see where the line is on this forum between blind hatred and solid understanding.

First few comments are the usual mix of hearn / brit haters slagging off the opponent and calling out "eurobum".

Then you get the normal lot who can see someone ..

coming off two straight losses 2 weights apart against 2 top 10 guys and both included broken orbital bones... fighting against the 154 former EBU champion actually isn't that bad of a comeback fight.
