has jones got anything but a punchers chance against brook?

[erics44]

I watched a few rounds of Jones on youtube after learning Brook was odds-on for the KO. I wasn't very impressed. Be surprised if Brook can't stop him.

@Rantcatrat - I think Proksa will show that last fight all wrong (even though I thought he won). He seemed to have took Hope far too lightly. I reckon he'll get the KO this time.

The bookies certainly think last time was a blip - Proksa (1/5) Hope (4/1)

im not so sure, hope was relentless pressure and proska couldnt deal with it (although it was close)

he suits a style where he has at least a bit of room where the other guy is gonna try and box hm

i see 2 outcomes, proska one punch KO or hope on points

I think Proksa is much better than he showed the first time. He looked knackered after a few rounds, which can only be due to a lack of preparation.

Having said that, and I do think Proksa will win this time, Hope is worth a saver at 4/1 (could have his number?).

Jones isnt that good , ive also been watching some of his fights , i dont consider Jones to be that big a puncher either.
However im not sold on the Sheffield LIMBO dancer either , he really needs to show some devil in his work , if he plods to a UD , i dont think it would be a great result for Brook.
Jones has a chance if he pressures Brook early going for the KO.

My guess is Brook - wins ud.

Fenster, I believe you are right on the money. In a way, the Hope loss could have been exactly what Proksa needed to get him back into gear.

Brook will use him for target practise, the only flash thing about Jones is the way he's dressed, a very
one sided drubbing I'm afraid.

We were right. Proksa much better this time.

Yes, @Fenster, he was much better. Who do you favor in a match of Proksa versus Barker for EU Title? Leaning Barker...

Seriously that is very disrespectful to Barker. I don't understand why people rate Proska so highly, one fight against half decent opposition and suddenly he is the second coming.

I mention the fight because Barker hinted at it during an interview I read about. I thought Proksa had the potential to be world-level because of his total destruction of Sebastian Sylvester in Sylvester's hometown. Consequently, I was very high on Proksa, prior to his loss against Hope. I rate Barker pretty highly, which is why I am leaning his way. However, Barker has been sidelined with injury and we don't know what kind of form he'll return in. They are promoted by Eddie Hearn and Matchroom so the fight could be made easily. I actually bet the fight could happen in the near future.
