Still at least Robles has a punchers chance ? I think Brook will work off the jab and avoid getting hit and land some combinations off the front foot, he should stop Robles early, but remember Carson Jones first time around ? So he can't look past this guy.
Better opponent then i expected tbh altho the rest of the bill is now looking shocking. Apparently an announcement today. Time to pull a rabbit out the hat Eddie.
I wonder if Brook will be able to do better than the 40-something career lightweight Antonio Pitalua? Knock this fella down five or six times, maybe...?

Rocky Fielding vs TBA
Paul Smith vs TBA
Callum Smith vs TBA
Robbie Davies Jnr vs Ashley Mayall
Instead of this utterly pointless yet predictable fight why not just fight poter now? Make him an offer, poter has no fight lined up so why wait untill the summer? Porter has no reason not to fight him asap so he can get it out the way and look for bigger fights

agreed... bank both purses and put them towards Porters purse... main support to Froch/Groves
i get the impression Hearn wont invest in bringing the title over for brook... or brook wont commit to x amount of fights after he wins title

Apparently porters team will be announcing their next fight soon. If it Is a lucrative enough fight then there is no doubt that the IBF will be happy to delay the mandatory with Brook. Leaving Brook with plenty of time for a few more warm up fights.
