Those bloody foreigners, they come over here, take all our jobs...

Oh dear...the fella makes a fair point, doesn't he? He's a shite opponent and one doesn't have to go thousands of miles to find one of those.

Kell needs to face better opposition when he steps up he going to be exposed bit like Mitchell !

The main priority is to keep Kell Brook busy in order to preserve or improve his rank at world level in order to get him a world title shot at some point in 2011/12 which is the plan. When you look at Kotey's record the 21-5 with 15 knockouts does immediately grab you, but when you look beyond the headline you see that his record is not as watertight despite the higher number of rounds fought (170 for Kotley v 83 for Brook) Brook has still fought the better opposition and despatched them, so I am going for a Brook stoppage middle rounds.

Yeah I know, was just 'avin a larf.

Ghanaians are always marketable, though. Has there ever been a fight involving one in which the commentator hasn't made an Azumah Nelson comparison?

Ha, ha - no! It's in the contracts along with the shitty records verified by the GBA. Wait until Froch fights one - 'This Ghanaian is teak tough but cleverer than he looks, much like his all-time great countryman, Azumah Nelson. If he was here, the Professor would no doubt choose to sit next to Froch's girlfriend, Rachel Cordingley.'
