    I dont think its the worst fght but its not PPV worthy. Get pissed off with Sky the other night talking up what a great division 147 is. Pac, Floyd, Thurman, Porter, Brook and Rios. Throw his name in there so people think hes one of the best in the div. Hardly in the top 20 for me.

    Nice name for Kell to get on his resume over a recognised fighter who doesn’t carry the same threat/risk as other welters. His style will suit Kell down to the ground & although I was impressed with Bam Bam last time out, I think the result of that fight flattered him as Alvarado just didn’t show up. There will be no surprises in how Rios approaches the job with Kell. You can guarantee he will plod forward using his face to block punches, letting his hands go once he is in range but Kells already dealt with a higher quality brawler in Porter who was a bigger man too so this will be a more refined display of skills. The results not a foregone conclusion as Rios can swarm relentlessly and the memory of Carson Jones doesn’t seem too distant away but having said that im expecting a 118-110 kind of scorecard at the end of it. We wont learn a lot more about Kell from this fight but a win over Rios keeps him in the mix with top welters. No Going back to the jo jo dans and Frankie Gavins now

    They will make it ppv and link it with Floyd and Groves on the undercard fight to justify it.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I don't know, I like the sound of this fight. Don't know which Rios will show up but he's of the mind he needs to win or he will be irrelevant. I think he'll give brook a go, not beat him, but he'll be game. I've seen worse fights I'm sure.

    I can see Brooks stop Rios.

    This heavy bag is nearly wore out. Everyone should want better from a talent such as Brook.
