This commentary is an advert for going back to a 1950's style almost silent approach....

Solid performance from Brook. Not sure exactly what it proves.

talk about overdoing it in the commentary

this is a 39 year old fighter who fought most of his career at light welterweight and drew with Matthew Hatton and they are talking about this like it's some sort of career transforming performance - even mentioning Kosta Tszyu then!?!?!!?

It's more like if he hadn't won tonight then his career would be in question - this is, and should be a routine victory at this stage of both's career

Jesus Christ, that cheerleading commentary really spoilt what was a decent enough fight to watch. Terrible, borderline grovelling.

Yeah he's a decent test, i think they might look at how Jones gets on tonight, if he isn't that impressive , they might try and get a final eliminator against Jones straight away.

Mike Jones would smash him to pieces - cant even imagine what Floyd, Victor or Pac would do to him, they'd have a field day. Maybe Berto might take him now that DiBella has done the Martinez/Barker deal with Matchroom?

it was embarrassing and misleading. desperate, solid performance but nothing more than expected. In fact all the talk was how he was going to be the first to stop N'dou and on that front he failed

Jones is a level below the top end of the division and i still think he's levels above Brook

It was very hard to listen to. N'Dou has never been stopped and I don't think he was in trouble at all in the fight, very tired in the last round alright. N'Dou has a granite chin.

Agreed. N'dou didny seem in much trouble tae me. Tired a bit but Brook couldny have battered wi a sledgehammer.

I think they'll steer clear of anyone that will match him for speed, anybdy durable on the world fringes would be fun....could see it being the "other" cotto even.
