I'm no Brook hater, far from it. But I'm starting to lose my patience with Ed.

He mentioned Julio Diaz a few months back but I don't think that would be a big exciting name. Someone mentioned the IBO champ Van Heerden earlier and I guess that wouldn't be bad considering it's what? 9 weeks odd until September?
I'd be very surprised if it's one of the top 5 or 6 welterweights but then Brook is in line for an IBF title shot so risking that against say Maidana wouldn't be the wisest matchmaking.
I highly doubt it will be a top 10 Welterweight or Light Middleweight, it's more likely to be a faded star like Mosley or someone unknown like
Van Heerden who while not a big name, I'm sure Hearn and Sky will somehow try and claim he is one.
It's not just the fact he's not a big name, he's not that good either!

Hate British referees, British promoters, the whole mad gibbering Sky or Five or whatever teams of fanatical commentators and fawning analysts, all of them always in the same club on the same payroll, we're watching pure propaganda from start to finish.
Can't be bothered with this sport anymore. It's a joke.
See you later pal, take care...

He makes a valid point to be fair. I dont agree that it's all british refs and promoters and what have you but to say that isnt a big factor would be lying.

Fair enough, I'm glad they have a local hero and good luck to him. but that is an undercard fight all day long. Brook Jones was good enough (on paper) to headline.

Have I missed something? Why so much hype about Campbell? Is he that popular to warrant all this?

Olympic gold medallist. It's understandable I guess.
