Kell Brook v Rafal Jackiewicz tonight

[littlebif]

He did what he had to do tonight and he looked good doing it but need to see him in with a live top 10 contender, his last to fights now have been against a 40year old (think N'dou was 40 anyway lol) and 34 year old.

The stoppage was premature. Based on the flow of the fight though, Jackie wasn't going to survive 12 rounds anyway but he still should have been given a chance..

I agree with that, the crowd and fans watching at home want to see some action before you call it off and turn what was an impressive performance into a bit of a damp squib come the end. Wave it off as soon as there is a knockdown or he gets properly wobbled or something at least. Dude wasnt even hurt. He didnt help himself in not throwing punches though did he. Just throw a few and its never getting stopped there.

Brook needs to fight Senchenko next. He has the WBA strap and hes a bit shite despite his 32-0 record, Kell would eat him for Special K (Breakfast). A 'world title' might just be enough to entice Khan into a lucrative summer blockbuster in 2012.

I though Kell was going to fight Mike Jones, that would be a good fight.

Agreed. He is not much of an attraction for khan without a title. I think he needs to take on someone in the top ten before he deserves a shot at Khan, Ortiz or Berto.
I think Khan is too good for him, but when your against Khan you only need one perfect punch so you never know.

I think they may have overated him. He was not in the top ten on Boxrec. They now have him ranked 33. You dont go down that much from losing one fight.
He has good choices at the top. Mosley, Berto, Ortiz, Mike Jones and the guy he has won the right to fight for a title Viacheslav Senchenko ranked 10 in the world.
the two others in the top ten are Sebastian Andres Lujan and Carson Jones but I have never heard of them. The only other guy who is not in the top ten in that devision and may be worth fighting is Paul Malignaggi.

Senchenko (WBA) or Zaveck (IBF) would get him a belt and help improve his leverage in future fights.

Jackiewiez was #7 only on paper, but c'mon, Brook needs to face a real top 10..

He was a genuine top 10 guy. He had a win over world champion Jan Zavek who was giving Andre Berto a decent scrap until the cut stopped the fight and he beat Delvin Rodriguez too. It was a great win for Kell.
