I think Kel Brook is a talent, he will certainly make it onto the world scene - british boxing is on the up for sure.

Kell is fast but more to the point he is very, very accurate and he has superb natural timing

It is disappointing that at 24 he appears a bit injury prone, hope he gets over his niggles, gets his head down, stays focussed and gets up to world level.

not being funny bennie but most people smash David Kirk he hasnt won a fight for 5 years or more.

No one smashes Kirk, he rarely gets stopped and only in top class, the likes of Matthew Macklin couldn't stop him, he beat Matthew Hatton too

stand corrected Coco, I meant no disrespect to David who has been a solid good pro "opponent" and who i have seen box live several times, a hard man no doubt.

I meant more along the lines of him not really being a yardstick of future world class.

Sorry if i came accross badly there.

He's good but I don't think he's as good as Ryan Rhodes was at a similar stage in his career. Not as ilusive, nor does he punch as hard- I don't know he's decent but not sure he's the real deal yet.

First he was a light middle though? And his wins over Silky Jones, Waudby, Scarlett, Bryan, Epifantsev were all highly explosive and dynamic perfromances. I like Brook he looks really decent but he's not really performed on that level that Rhodes managed. Perhaps i'm being harsh or looking through rose tinted specs- we'll see maybe his fundametals are more intact then Rhodes' were.

If Kell can start acting like a dickhead, sending pics of his cock to old fish wives and fighting men two or three divisions below him - then yes he can.

However not sure the Ingles would let him.

Ezekiel is very talented.
He is also a very honest pro.
Shit happens with injuries.
I fully expect Kel to make his mark on the World scene.
