I wish I shared his confidence that this fight will still go ahead, since every other one seems to be falling by the wayside !

I think that Jennings will do him. Brook is not Cotto and Jennings is the most experienced, fittest and best schooled of anyone that Brook has boxed. Brook has power; that's about it. A good jab and footwork beats the big puncher most of the time.

[Hagler2002]

Without going into to much detail, Brook will smash Jennings to bits.....

[markpacy]

Brook will destroy him.

I think you're being a bit harsh on Brook there, you make him sound like he can't box and is just a slugger. He will use a greater variety of angles than Jennings and his footwork aint bad at all. Jennings will outwork him but I see Brook landing the more meaningful shots.

I expect Brook to start this fight well and Jennings to come on strong in the second half. If Brook can't take him out within 6 then I think it will go the distance and will be very close on the cards.

Personally I don't. I know Jennings has got amazing fitness, I just think Brook will shine. If he doesn't KO Jennings, I think it will be a comfortable points win 117-111 or 116-112.

Some people harp on like Brook is the second coming of Ivan Drago.

That's weird you should say that, Macho.

At the start of a recent spar with Bob Ajisafe, Bob touched gloves with Kell who remained unmoved, gave him a fixed stare and robotically uttered 'YOU VILL LOSE'

[wrimc]

Brook is overrated atm Jennings is his hardest test. Who has only been stopped by Cotto. Jennings has staying power the bookies have Brook a 1/6 favourite i think those odds are way out. This is a much closer fight Brook may win but he will have to go hard for it you can get odds of 13/8 for it to go the distance as if Brook is some sort of ko artist.

why would a cruiserweight head spar a welter? unless they were just body sparring eh.

I'll go with that. Brook does look the part, but Jennings is no mug. It's gonna be one hell of a fight thats for sure.

[DAVE2005]

mikes gonna taKe this one on point,kells a good fighter but i dont think he'll be able to cope with mike speed.gonna be a cracker though.bring it on

[rmz]

I've seen Brook fight quite a few times, that guy doesn't know how to throw a straight punch, he loops everything...watch his fight with Stuart Elwell.

I was taking the mick about the Drago quote but they've been sparring. Think it was full actually but I'll check.

Good variety of sparring partners helps develop a fighter. Kell has been sparring all shapes and sizes, from fast little ones to big strong ones.
Still, he cant throw a straight punch so i expect he'll get beat. wonder if kevin mcintyre noticed this chink in kell's armour?

[hurlock]

jennings is like a lurcher & is on the scent of brooks confidence faltering from tough spars from cameron.

[lefty]

I was re-watching Jennings vs Cotto the other day and i was impressed with michaels hand and foot speed.He made it difficult for cotto and you could sense in the early stages cotto was getting a little frustrated with Michaels getting in and out of range.The beginning of the end in that fight was when Cotto caught him with a huge left hook pretty much flush on the chin and then just pounced!Cotto is an all-time great though who's won world titles in 3 weight classes and beaten some top fighters so thats no disgrace!

Watch his fight with McIntrye.

What ?

The bookies have good odds on Jennings for those who want to waste their money where there mouth is.

[DavidPayne]

This is the acid test for Brook - he's been around with this big reputation for a long time.

Jennings will be so ready, so, so ready. I think he'll win this, perhaps be wobbled but fight through it and take a decision.

[crusader]

I think Brook will stop Jennings late or win a wide decision.

[Captain Hook]

Brook will destroy him.

Based on what?

Brook is not even 50% what Cotto is, and Cotto didn't "destroy him"
