Kell Brook vs Zerafa Kell Brooks Sky Sports 8/12/18

[Primo Carnera]

I didn’t think that Brook looked as bad as some say. He looked pretty sharp but was just a bit gun shy. Anytime he started letting his hands go he would get hit a few times and then back off. He won the fight pretty easy though.

He boxed ok, but he just wasn’t making any dents in the guy. And he got hit a lot more than he used to , and those shots seemed to have a lot more elf to than they used to.
Probably a mix of the last few fights/injuries having a mental impact, a new trainer, getting older, a bit ring rusty all contributing to a lack lustre display.
Maybe he still has enough to beat Khan, but that just shows how meaningless that fight is and why it’s a fucking scandal that they’re banding round the figures they are and ppv, stadiums etc.

I think that he could be a solid fight for the top guys at Jr Middleweight. Guys like Lara, Charlo, and Hurd.

[Ron Swanson]

I don’t really understand what you mean by solid, do you think he could win against Charlo, Lara or Hurd?

I think he is good enough to test them. As in they would all be favored to win but not a forgone conclusion. Brook can still box pretty well and looks to still be a top 5 fighter in a weight class.
