Re: tonights R by R
This commentary is an advert for going back to a 1950's style almost silent approach....
Solid performance from Brook. Not sure exactly what it proves.

Re: tonights R by R
talk about overdoing it in the commentary
this is a 39 year old fighter who fought most of his career at light welterweight and drew with Matthew Hatton and they are talking about this like it's some sort of career transforming performance - even mentioning Kosta Tszyu then!?!?!!?
It's more like if he hadn't won tonight then his career would be in question - this is, and should be a routine victory at this stage of both's career

So where does this leave Brook on world terms?

Re: tonights R by R
Jesus Christ, that cheerleading commentary really spoilt what was a decent enough fight to watch. Terrible, borderline grovelling.

Yeah he's a decent test, i think they might look at how Jones gets on tonight, if he isn't that impressive , they might try and get a final eliminator against Jones straight away.funtime wrote:in need of another step up.... how about Karass that gave Mike Jones fits first time around~????Old bones Ian wrote:So where does this leave Brook on world terms?

Mike Jones would smash him to pieces - cant even imagine what Floyd, Victor or Pac would do to him, they'd have a field day. Maybe Berto might take him now that DiBella has done the Martinez/Barker deal with Matchroom?

Mike Jones is good, does everything well without being spectacular

Re: tonights R by R
it was embarrassing and misleading. desperate, solid performance but nothing more than expected. In fact all the talk was how he was going to be the first to stop N'dou and on that front he failedBaboon wrote:Jesus Christ, that cheerleading commentary really spoilt what was a decent enough fight to watch.

Jones is a level below the top end of the division and i still think he's levels above Brook

Nelsons tongue needs to be dislodged from Brooks arse
Re: tonights R by R
It was very hard to listen to. N'Dou has never been stopped and I don't think he was in trouble at all in the fight, very tired in the last round alright. N'Dou has a granite chin.Baboon wrote:Jesus Christ, that cheerleading commentary really spoilt what was a decent enough fight to watch. Terrible, borderline grovelling.

Agreed. N'dou didny seem in much trouble tae me. Tired a bit but Brook couldny have battered wi a sledgehammer.Deno1986 wrote:It was very hard to listen to.

I think they'll steer clear of anyone that will match him for speed, anybdy durable on the world fringes would be fun....could see it being the "other" cotto even.Old bones Ian wrote:Yeah he's a decent test, i think they might look at how Jones gets on tonight, if he isn't that impressive , they might try and get a final eliminator against Jones straight away.funtime wrote:in need of another step up.... how about Karass that gave Mike Jones fits first time around~????Old bones Ian wrote:So where does this leave Brook on world terms?

Macklin looks so relaxed! Like he's chilling at home.
What a weird into RE Sturm getting out of bed and brushing his teeth

Someone said Paul Malignaggi, that would make sense because of the coverage in America
