I couldn't get to sleep last night so was writing a commentator's cliche crib sheet. Got a pretty long list in my head, it's easy work!

I've given Brook and Allegedly a fair bit of criticism for facing weak opponents, so I'm more than satisfied with this.
Brook's stamina and chin haven't been tested, he's faced too many opponents that fall over the second Kell lands a decent punch. So N'Dou is the ideal testing ground - he's seasoned, hard as nails, got a reasonable engine and whilst he's not a puncher, he can certainly get your attention.
I think Brook will win impressively on points, if he gets N'Dou out of there without a Phil Edwards stoppage I'd be VERY impressed.

N'Dou is old news and nothing more than a gatekeeper now and if Brook is serious about mixing with the elite, then how can this be the acid test he needs?
Eddie Hearn, is making all the noises about testing him and then serves us this up!
A cerap fight in the smallest and grottiest venue in Sheffield againsta 39 year old (or at least that what the record says, he's propably older) who has won 3 out of 8 fights in the last 3 years. Sure, he won the IBF title, but lost it to the powder puff puncher in Pauli Mallinaggi.
We have already seen this guy lose to Witter and only draw with Matthew Hatton so can this fading fighter, who 6 weeks after Brook surely dismantles him, wouldn't event be allowed to box over here.
Face it, this guy is now a washed up 62 fight veteran, so unless Sky and Eddie top the card with something of interest, I fail to see this as anywhere near a competitive contest.
Surely there are better Welterweights out there for Kell Brook to build a reputation upon?
So why didn't you get Brook a better opponent when he was with you?
And as for it being the smallest and most grotty venue in Sheffield, that's laughable. It's just a leisure centre, no more, no less.
It almost makes you wonder if someone is trying to sabotage this fight.

Seen on websites that it's Robin Reed Vs Sheffields Wayne Reed, that should be a good fight. Both in recent prizefighter.
Wayne got done over by Ian Jon Lewis though.
Should be a good local undercard

Stoppage, my ass. NDou is made of steel. Brook wide UD.

Yes not sure what people are basing the stoppage prediction on, unless the ref jumps in a bit early. I haven't seen anything to suggest Brook is going to hit him with anything the likes of Alverez and Cintron didn't manage to.

Kell is taking it very seriously this fight, this is going to be a step up and a chance to show everyone on the scene how good he is.
He is in Tenerife at the moment training with some other members of the ingle gym.
25th is getting closer.
