Kell Brooks first loss on the way.

[erics44]

If Brook has problems with Carson Jones he isn't going to be able to handle Porter. Porter will have too much for him and outwork him or KO him.

If Hearn fancied Brook's chances he would have put the money up and got the fight in Britain. It could have sold 10 000 tickets and got a decent cheque from Sky. But he got his fingers burnt paying Crawford to come over to fight Ricky Burns and doesn't fancy the same thing happening again.

I see your point but I'm not sure its good to suggest that underachieving against Jones transfers to Porter. I'd be more worried about how he handles the crowd and atmosphere away from home. He could easily fold in the dressing room mentally before he even walks in like Bute did in Nottingham.

Maybe all involved in his lagging career after all the hopes have said that its time to shit or get off the pot and figured they might as well travel for this opponent. I'm not a fan of the guy in least but I have this feeling he may be a guy that fights as to the occasion that has looked mediocre against mediocre opponents.

take the first carson jones fight away and kell brook has looked anything but mediocre


yes it has gone on to long without really stepping up

Yeah Brook looked a lot better in the 2nd Jones fight (even though I though the stoppage was a bit English).

awe mate, no chance


if anything jones could have been stopped a couple of rounds before


kell took his foot off the gas and let him off the hook, I think the ref could have stepped in

Look at the people he was fighting when he wasn't looking mediocre. Move him up a couple of levels, which is what is going to happen in a couple of weeks, and let's see how he looks.
