Confusion over Kell Brook v Stuart Elwell 30 January

[THEBUTCH]

Couldn't agree more, emma.

[steve689]

Absolutely none, Steve.

Must confess I had not heard it before and that's why I came on to clarify. The source was a local newspaper boxing column.

[salvador]

Notice Denton Vassell v Eddie Corcoran has been added to the bill, nice and unusual clash of two young unbeaten fighters on the undercard. I fancy Vassell will be a bit too strong.

I noticed that too, but I'd suspect that it is a printers error or similar- IE both fighters are ON the bill, but not against each other, not least because one is down as a light heavy, the other as a light welter.

[banjo]

Brooks well better than this

should be putting him in with some of these in his next few fights

Craig Watson
Matthew Hatton
Michael Jennings
Michael Lomax
Kevin Anderson
Tony Doherty
Adnan Amar
Young Mutley

Dont know about that weight disparity Whicker - Eddie is the brother of Billy Corcoran and is a career light welter/welter (although his last fight he weighed in at 154):

Denton is a bigger guy and has often boxed between welter and light middle - if Corcoran is now campaiging at welter/light middle this could be a go'er..

Banjo I would say theres more chance of hell freezing over then doherty fighting kell. Anyway doherty has gone down to light welter.

I thought Doherty was calling him out after he beat Jones?

I would hope so too- however, in all honesty I can't see it being anything other than an error in the listing.

emma loves Kell

No I dont. How can you love someone you dont know?

[dondada]

Absolutely none, Steve.

There used to be substance to it. He just used to eat too much so would come in well over. He's in great shape now.

[jamesmcdonnell]

I know the feeling.

15 Stone 4 and climbing !

That's with cycling and trying to watch what I eat - god help me.

craig watson would be a top fight for kel he has beaten lomax an hatton an numnumbe he has proved himself at domestic level an is eageras hell to get a fight kel he deserves a shot at the british title ...

Now it's Denton Vassell V Matt Scriven, rounding off a predicatable looking prospects V journeymen undercard.

Looks a somewhat average show all round, it has to be said.

[Tykemania]

Agree Elwell is on a losing run also.

He has just beaten the unbeaten scot Paul Burns

But does this mean he deserves a crack at the British Title? His two bouts before that were stoppage losses.

No disrespect to Stuart Elwell, but it is getting a bit depressing that Sports Notwork are putting on main events of this quality. Compare this to eg Simpson V Truscott , which is simply... better.

Sad to say, I agree entirely - Brook is capable of moving to world class within the next 12 months, whereas Elwell will never be more than an area level fighter. Its the kind of fight that has massacre written all over it. You wonder why the likes of Bami, Lomax et al were not considered!

[steve689]

What's the craic with Doherty? He has a bit of talent but seems to be fighting above his weight and if you check his record it's 95% journeymen with losing slates. Finally it seems there's a bit of a grudge between him and Kell Brook, British title involved and both in the same promotional stable (so could be made easier) and Doherty moves down to light-welterweight.

You'd hope so.

If Brook is the future world welter star, he should be going in with these guys by now. I don't know anything about Elwell so I hope I'm not selling him short. But when you look at Shane Mosley destroying Margarito, Berto at war with Collazo, all the great stuff at world level...Brook v Elwell just doesn't seem convincing at all and it doesn't look like progress.

I dont think well see Docherty at Light welter
Since he announced that hes not had a fight as far as i know

Hes a Good Fighter if in shape , very fast hands
Like a lot of the Welsh based boys hes been very inactive since the warren vs Calzaghe Sagga.

I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to this tomorrow. Brook Vs 1/50

I know what you mean. :( (It should be 50/1 though, right?)

[scrap iron]

I thought the fight is on Friday?
