Kell Brook vs. Sergey Rabchenko - March 3rd 2018

[Ruthless-RKO]

It said sky sports. Boxrec has box office? which is it?

[wesshaw1985]

Hearn has just told IFL...

I love you Wes

This isn't a bad fight. Not PPV but I won't be paying for it either way.

But a decent test of where Brook is it. Wouldn't even surprise me if Brook had some issues if Sergey is still in his face after 8 rounds.

I'm not even excited for Brooks return. I can't see him making any noise at 154.

How come mate?

I think he will get somewhere at 154 - ok, he has moved up a bit too late in his career but I think he can still get some class wins. How would you favour Kell against: Ali, Hurd, Eggington, L.Smith & Castano?

QI just think he's got a hell of a lot of convincing to do after quitting in his last two fights. I'm not sure if his eyes will hold out against the bigger hitters at 154. Skill wise he's capable of beating any of they guys you've mentioned but can he handle the pressure these guys will be putting on him? I've been a fan for years since before he won the British but his lack of competition has definitely caught up with him.

Quitting? I think he done the right thing in the last two fights - if his eye didn't go in the Spence fight, he would of heard the last bell. I guess that's the answer everyone wants to know, about his eyes - I hope it doesn't comeback to haunt him again. Yeah he definitely has more 'skill' than the guys I've mentioned, I really like the Eggington fight, that could be a fight of the year contender I think.

Not really interested in the fight but good luck to Kell

The poster only says Sky Sports rather than Box Office, so fingers crossed it won’t be PPV. Although I’m sure Eddie’s trying to ‘stack’ the undercard as we speak...

It’s normal Sky Sports - 1st 2 PPV are AJ 31st March and 2nd Haye/Bellew.

Haye/Bellew is same night as Canelo/GGG rematch if signed.

Hope after he loses this, Kell goes away.

One good win in his career out of 36 wins. The rest of it he's wasted on cherry picked bums.

Poor fight! Come on Eddie give Byfield a chance against your man

I honestly think Brook had big problems at 147. He has struggled to make weight for a few years now. He visibly tired in his last fight and I think that could be weight related. Moving up to 154 is the right decision and if he is living the life correctly then he could have a couple of really good years in this division.

Hopefully this fight can get his confidence back after a couple of bad injuries and defeats. Then he needs to start taking the hard fights in the division. The couple of defeats might make it easier to get fights.

Kell is a mentally beaten man

Kell is a mentally beaten man

Yeah watch his interview - can’t see himself fighting in 2019 - it’s 2 fights then Khan PPV to set himself for life in Nov/Dec.

Can’t blame him for wanting that...but a fighter having one eye on retirement is never a good sign.

[jamamb]

ya kell seems to have a questionable mentality

though rabchenko looked so utterly useless vs tony harrison that id expect brook to beat him handily anyway. rabchenko also lost to a version of mundine who was absolutely mullered by guys like charles hatley.

sergey eats punches with his face like the best of them. if punches had calories hed weigh more than tyson fury

Agree - he’s desperate for the 4-5m payout likely from Khan.....that’s his only motivation now.

As you say looking at finishing up and 2 brutal injuries takes its toll.

He's really not desperate.
