Kell would mop bud at 154

[CP7]

Bud is a fantastic fighter but he had a hard time with the big bad mean machine. If he goes up to 154 to challenge Brook, he will get walked down and that chin will be tested. tko by 10

i didn't watch his fight today but no, just no. he wouldn't

[CP7]

At 154? There’s a reason bud is fighting fringe top 25 ww and not top dogs. 154 is Kells perfect weight where bud is more suited for 140

He'd give Bud a fight as he would and does just about anyone, but this feels like the opposite extreme from the "Brook is dog meat now" brigade. Crawford late stoppage imo.

Yeah id favour brook at 154. Too big and strong.

I’m part of no brigades just call fights as I see them...think bud is an excellent fighter but there’s weight classes for a reason

I don't really mean anything by it. Quite a few people seem to be saying Brook looks "done" after today and while he isn't what he was a few years ago I don't see it. That being said time/wear is ironically the deciding factor here to me. A couple years ago I would have probably favored Brook here at 154, but now I'm inclined to see Bud edging it after some good work from Kell. I was thinking about this the other day though...it's a pretty good fight, more intriguing at this weight for sure imo

Don't get too carried away because Brook beat a cherry pick. He knocked the guy out with one hard left jab. Good tough fighters don't get knocked cold by a jab. If Brook beats any 154 pound champion or any 154 pound contender rated by Ring magazine among the top 10 that would be good but he has yet to do that. If Brook had more belief in himself he would have fought a top guy we had all heard of. None of us ever heard of this guy and he was supposed to lose and make brook look good.

Brook is not an easy fight for anyone. He was holding his own against GGG and Spence until his face got broken. I’m sure Khan knows this since he keeps ducking him. I still give Bud the edge by comfortable UD or TKO in late rounds.

Can’t argue with any of this. I’m not a huge brook fan or anything I just like what he brings to the table both skill wise and physically for bud since I’ve heard that idea thrown out there. But you could also be right but I feel like he has something left in the tank
