Warren looking to make Brook v Jones on the December 11th bill.
Jones is scheduled for the Pac/Margo bill, but if the WBO Title was on the line maybe would pull out for his shot on December 11th.
Jones is a huge 147 lb fighter, this would be a great fight two very good prospects.

Good match-up.. unfortunately it will produce a "world" champion between two guys who are not even rated in the top 10 of the division :vd:
Warren putting his fighter in with another good prospect he must have alot of faith in Brook.;D
Both look very decent fighters, seems a bit like Groves v Degale, very good prospect.

Jones will win he is the better swimmer.
What is going on with Warren recently? He's stopped protecting fighters and is chucking them in the ring with some real tough fights.
As a fan I'm not complaining, but it does seem a little odd. Maybe he's preparing to bow out the game in a few years and is cashing in now? (I doubt it I know)
LOL, y'all leave that guy aloneQuote:

Any of you guys seen much of Jones ?
I think if he is good he will easily Ko Brook whos chin is to high and he hasnt taken any big punches yet , but ive seen signs Brook is chinny , but at least its a good matchup.
I watch with interest.
This isn't going to happen. Not least because Top Rank aren't even Jones' promoters, it's Russell Peltz, the guy who has traditionally promoted all the Philly fighters, he just has a 'relationship' with Top Rank whereby Jones fights on their bills & they take a percentage.
Regardless, I believe he's already said that unless the offer to fight Brook was astronomical, it makes a lot more sense to get HBO exposure on a Manny Pacquiao card than to fight Brook in England. Probably better for Brook because if the Jennings fight is any indicator, then Jones is well ahead of him. Even if his opponents may not look it on paper, they're of a fair higher standard than Brook's imo.
I reckon Brook should try to make a fight with Clottey, we've seen the blueprint of how to beat him, plus he's a big name off the Pac fight & given how he performed there, I doubt he's got many options on HBO
Mike Jones is awesome, and I am starting to get impatient about how long it is taking him to get a big fight.
Same with us about Brooks, let them fight one another.Quote:

Who do you think Warren should get for Brook? O Donnell would be my choice with Fat Mick not having a tv contract should be alot easier to make? If not Craig Watson would be good but he is contracted to Hatton and especially after Franks kind words of support to Ricky :p doubt this will happen now.
