what chance.....as a % does kell brook have of winning?

[banjo]

30 maybe 40% I don't know, Brook appears very ordinary most of the time but then again Alexander is no great shakes either, strange fight this, probably be a borefest as well.

[Ezzard]

Could be banjo…

I have it 50-50… But if Brook was to win in a decisive/dramatic fashion it would really catapult him into the limelight.

[Stevolad]

From what I have seen of Kell and in my humble opinion I don't see anything 'special' in him. I give him 40% chance of winning this.

[brian13]

Its 60/40 Alexander in my eyes by the fact he has been in the amount more World title fights he has been in. I wouldn't class a Brook win as an upset at all.

[physio]

I'm a huge Brook fan but I see the fight 60/40 to Alexanders. I can see the fight going a similar way to Rhodes v Otis Grant.
Hope I'm wrong!

[lefthook82]

Id worry that the only time someone has fought back at Kell Brook he looked horrendous

For a 30 fight record his opposition has been abysmal. Hasn't had 1 fight for my reckoning that wasn't considered 80/20 beforehand (maybe Jennings was 60/40 and that was inconclusive anyway). The first guy to dare to hit him back he goes life and death with, and then starts talking shit about not training right.

Still think he beats Alexander though. I don't rate him at all

[Bard of Boxrec]

I feel that Brook will have to stop him early as Aleksander is a clever fighter who will work Brook`s style out the longer the fight goes.

Aleksander is a top notch operator for me. He definately lost the fight with Mathysse for me, but the point is that Mathysse was not close to stopping Aleksander. I don`t see Brook being able to do what Mathysse couldn`t do.

It is likely to be a close points loss for Brook here as getting the decision over there will be tricky as hell. I have seen some stinking scoring in the states on several occassions and don`t see why this should be any diffferent.

Unless of course the money men have bigger things planned for Brook in the U.S. Aleksander is a terrible draw and brings little box office appeal. Maybe the americans think that with Brook they will have another 40+ thousand Brits travelling to Las Vegas if a match betwen Brook and Mayweather is made? If they do, then I am sure he will get more than a fair go on the scores.

Brook better hope the meercat shows up because he won't be winning otherwise.

He's looking good though, 3 weeks left near the weight & coming towards his peak for the 23rd, sparring with Demarcus Chop Chop Corley before flying back to UK then to the sates for final preps.

[Final round]

38% :geek2:

Kell needs to go on the offensive from the start, don't let him get comfortable. Close the distance and ..er chin him!

[Hagler2002]

I have read several interviews with British fighters saying that when they fought in the States they became tired very quickly feeling heavy legged. When Brook fought on the undercard of Ward-Froch he looked poor taking some meaty shots against a C level fighter, I don't see him having the tools, game plan or stamina to beat Alexander.

I fancy the home fighter strongly for this one and in my book I'd have him a 1/2 shot so the 4/6 is exceptional value.

Wheelbarrows at the ready......CHOO CHOO.....ALL ABOARD DD

[potnoodle]

Phyorectical speaking he has a50/50 chance. But I think...Kell he very hungry and going on to MASSIVE things! So I reckon Brook all the way!

[Finn]

60% but it all depends on his stamina, if brook has sorted his stamina out i think he would win fairly comfortably. I've watched alexander many times now and although he is a flashy boxer he does tend to just flick out a long jab (out of range alot of the time) and rely on his skills and movement to out box his opponents. Thats what he should be doing but when he comes up against skilled boxers who can close distance and box their way in he just ends up either out of range where he's not doing anything or in close where he gets exposed. I mean he really did look shocking against Bradley imo.

If brook can stay active and pressure alexander throughout the fight the he will win simple as, if he gasses after a while he's going to be in alexanders comfort zone and he's going to get ears boxed off. We may well see a fight of two halves again.

[bigB]

Finn, trust me the stamina is next level, the changes he's made he could do the old 15 rounds.

Cannot wait, Alexander has boxed beaten world class fighters, Maidana is great but at 147 weren't right and to fleshy.

At LWW he's boxed the best, but think Kell will be to big.

Not only as his friend but for British boxing be unreal to have a WW champ of the world.

Good because if he looks the business against alexander then we have a genuine chance of have a UK superstar fighter and that is going to make and already exciting division absolutely booming. And im not just saying that as a brook fan but his style of boxing is very exciting to watch.

Good luck to him.

This is because they don't prepare properly for the travel and time difference.

Kell will win 100%. The only way Alexander wins is if its the same way he beat (robbed) matthyse & kotelnik. I am betting BIG on this.

[The Main Event Show]

I don't rate Alexander that highly 50/50 fight for me!

[rhino222]

looks like the general consensus is its a 60/40 fight in alexanders favour, when you weigh up the fact the fight is in the states it looks like its being viewed as a 50/50 'pick em'

should be a great scrap.

[Kilburn]

Brook better hope the meercat shows up because he won't be winning otherwise.

LOL.

I went for 40% for whatever reason and it turned out to be the consensus so far. I'm not convinced that Brook has suddenly ironed out those stamina issues that came alarmingly to the surface 7 months ago.

I'll be willing Brook on every second though as I'm not a big fan of Bradley's to say the least.
