What do we think of Kell Brook now? Stronger for the gut-check, or did it show flaws?

Can Gavin Rees win a world title?

Proksa vs Barker?

Does Eubank take too many punches? Or is he being matched hard early on?

Which awful opponent will Fury face next?


Your thoughts. :think

Does anyone know where I can watch the fight?
You'll be able to get it from world boxing video archive :good
i got it from SoSo boxing this morning Dave
I had a look there, but couldn't see it. I'll see if my brother-in-law recorded it.
There's talk that Rees will get his world title shot at the vacant WBA title on the Froch undercard in October :happy

That bill is going to be quality if that is true because Brook V Saldivia is on the undercard too
We going?
I'm up for it, that's if you don't stand me up again.

Has Saldivia signed up to that, do you know? Hearn seems happy, but he has form for sounding pretty certain pretty early, I think he uses it as a negotiating tactic!

If Rees is on it, I am there 100%.

If not, I am 50:50. Love to see Kessler Froch but not sure on cash when doing a house up.

We'll take a look once the cards announced, flow'.

Not yet but just going by what Hearn was saying he seems pretty confident, but as you say may be fake confidence
Shit man.....Kell was very, very lucky to thru that 12th round IMHO....Carson Jones is a very tough lad and he just kept coming, fair play to him, I'm now a fan of the man....Hope he can get himself into some big fights off the back of that bout....He deserves it IMO.

On Kell, well, First 6 rounds went as I thought they would with Kell showing his stuff to a good level.....The 7th onwards I'll be honest, I was very very scared that Kell was gonna get caught with a bomb and with his state of fitness at that time I was worried he wouldnt beat the count......But Kell showed heart and courage and a solid chin, which we all questioned at this stage, so something good came from the bout.....I realy dont know if Kells defence was flawed due to his fitness or just because thats the way it is, he is always gonna be open for a shot, and no disrespect to Carson, if Kell was in there from rnd 7 with a true elite contender he may well of lost that 0 due to his defence and the flaws in it...

Wake up call time for Kell, he needs to sharpen up all aspects of his game, and quick, otherwise we may well be seeing the talent that he clearly has gong by the wayside.

I still think that Kell can improve and this is the wake up call he needed and at a good stage also.....If he would be in a world title bout with that defence and fitness I'm afraid to say...Game over.

I agree entirely with this. Mrs Templar and I watched it live, we were having a terrible day, she's a massive Kell fan and I really thought he was going to cap it all and get stopped late. At one point in about the 10th she just said 'oh no' and looked really worried. It proved a lot of positives about him, too, but I am delighted that he got through it as they seem to know a few things they need to work on in camp before they go for a title, so this turns out to be a wake up call rather than a disaster. Phew!

The Ingles are poison at world level. Kell needs some solid fundamentals to fall back on in future.

Who needs fundamentals when you can switch hit?

:lol:

Or at least, I hope that's a joke. Switch hitting is rarely effective at the top level. To me it suggests insecurity or confusion about your opponent: "My A game isn't working, so I'll do something I'm not quite as good at to see if that works."
