Kell Brook vs Andre Berto? Empty Kell Brook vs Andre Berto?

Post by hazharrison Wed Jan 21, 2015 1:40 pm

Few rumblings last night that Brook's first defence could be against Andre Berto.

Thoughts?

it's a name to look good on his cv. I guess given the stabbing, if you want what should be a fairly straight forward return to the ring against a ring rusty guy who's career is on the slide and shouldn't offer too much threat, its probably decent matchmaking. Doesn't really get the juices flowing though.

Hearn does manage Quigg...........

So we shouldn't expect too much.........But everyone is entitled to a freebie....

Honeyghan = Hatcher, Bumphus, Vaca, Chung....

So Eddie does have a long standing tradition to uphold..

I thought Edfie wanted to get Brook's mandatory defence out the way first? Which would have been Jo Jo Dan

Heard he has a voluntary. Rumour was it was Decarie, but Berto seems to have entered the sweepstakes.

"Former world Champion who's beaten top guys like Collazo and Urango and has fought against Guerrero and Ortiz "

Now get your £20 out...........

We won't mention he's lost three of his last five fights and I can guarantee Watt and his Hearn-hugging-Mate won't either !! thumbsup

Isn't this on the March card which I don't believe will be PPV now that Froch v Chavez is off.

Anyone who slates this fight needs there head testing....this is boxer who had his leg hacked to bits not 4 months ago..And on.his last fight went across the pond to the champions back yard and too his title off him. A champion who may I add very few fancied stepping in with. Seems that Brook can't do no right on this forum. Accussed of treading water for years...steps up and wins world title finally proving doubters wrong...now accused of taking an easy fight after what he's been through. Ill tell you now I guarantee after the attack he suffered no fight will be easy on his return let alone a former world title challenger who may have come up short at the very top but showed enough to get there in first place..

He could have taken a far easier fight than this that's for sure!

Was i slating him? Good matchmaking and a reasonable fight under the circumstances with a sellable name, but not one to get the juices flowing particularly. Who knows how the stabbing will effect him, but from a psychological perspective he wasn't stabbed in the ring.

I'll write dave's response for him 'no milky, he was stabbed in the leg'.

If you think coming back from a potential career ending injury and stepping into the ring, regardless of who is across it, is an easy fight in itself Truss I'd fancy you have never suffered any major injury.

Let's not pretend that Berto has been beaten by half cooked fighters, they may not be on Mayweathers level but if they were then Mayweather wouldn't be the one in a generation fighter that he is.

It's a decent fight, tough given the circumstances and an opponent who has operated at the highest level. If there are no hangovers from the incident then it's a fight he should come through candidly...but that's a big if.

Pretty good summary.

You're sounding like Haz, Mate.

I imagine he'll be sparring in the gym before he fights him.............

I like Kell !!!...............One of the few on here that does......and sticks up for him..

But It's an easy defence...........Ortiz beat this guy.....and he was stopped by Soto............

Like I say I have no qualms....

That does sound like me. I'm always mitigating the quality of opponents faced by fighters returning from major injury. That is SO me.

Well it's a "name" that's a start

You'd think that Berto doesn't quite have enough in the tank at this point in his career to beat brook but he still has power and hand speed so brook will have to watch out and not walk onto anything stupid and he should take this

Brook just needs exposure at this point so berto is a good starting point atm

Not sure what to make of Berto's power, WHU.......

All the top fighters he's faced he's either lost to or gone the distance with !! 29 (22) does look impressive though however !!....

To be fair Porter/Berto is dam sight better reading than Collazo/Alexander. Happen to think Berto is a decent choice if he can't get Khan.

I think it's a good fight and Berto takes it, Berto struggles with pressure fighters not really boxers, he is also quite fast with resonable power, as a first defence and coming of a serious injury he could've easily fought a bum

Think you can see he has power in his punches, his problem is he doesn't throw enough

Soto has a great beard and he was hurt multiple times by Andre, Guerrero too has a great chin and took some helacious uppercuts and Ortiz was decked hard twice. Definitely a harder puncher than anyone kell has been in with before and will have the fastest hands

Oh go suck a schlong for heavens sake

Just made the very factually based point that by fighting Berto he's on a good run (if he wins) that will get him more exposure.

Yes I used facts to "degrade" Khan - you wanna check the meaning of that word first; to cause humiliation

Brook beats Porter then Berto he is on a better WW run than Khan and in my eyes would deserve a pop more than Khan. It's a good fight for Brook to take in his first defence and isn't wasting his energy name dropping other fighters he doesn't have a realistic chance of fighting unless they handpick to fight him.

Feel free to point out where I've not spoken in facts. boobie.

He has a glass jaw - don't need to elaborate
He has a horrid little trap - who likes hearing him spout about FMJ "ducking" him?
Moron - Probably referencing his mouth. Should see where I gave him props for his recent donation/work in Pakistan at the horrid school masacre
Not a big name - did seriously average numbers against Devon and Sky dropped him off PPV.

Depends what spin you wish to put on it. Porter beat Alexander, khan beat him more convincingly.

Berto when unbeaten, squeaked past collazo. He's since lost three times to Ortiz, Guerrero and soto karrass. He's fought 1 nobody since. 

He's got talent, but we haven't seen it for a while. There's a touch of the zab judah's about him... Can still look good for a few rounds and make life difficult, but if you're not beating him you're not going anywhere yourself.

Which is why it's good matchmaking. The name holds more  weight than the fighter .

Not sure you can name a day, seems to happen most days (which is a pessimistic statement, it's probably nearer to every hour every day but I haven't got time to substantiate such a thing)

Berto is a media creation - one of the biggest in the modern era. Doesn't sell tickets, doesn't do high TV viewing ratings yet is a millionaire.

Not bad a bad name, although Berto has looked poor in his last few fights.

If its non PPV I'll watch, if its PPV, no chance

Its a pretty crap fight. Berto is an unranked challenger, has lost all his recent significant fights and is past his best (which wasnt all that good).

It's not Berto,ring tv have confirmed Berto has signed to fight Josesito Lopez.

Who's next for Brook then? My guess is the ghost Guerrero. A top ten guy who has a name but should be comfortable for Kell.

I dont think it will be a ranked opponent. Id guess a pretty low risk fight. Bundu or Malignaggi maybe.

Collazo deserved the verdict vs Berto. IMO

Aware of Dan's name but haven't seen him fight. On paper it should be a very straightforward night for Brook which isn't going to entice any of the big-name Welters in to fighting him, but hey, mandatories (Dan is the IBF's top-ranked guy, isn't he?) need to be taken care of. Hopefully Brook can make another notable statement later this year against a more highly-regarded Welterweight provided he doesn't drop the ball here.

The Khan fight is probably up in smoke for 2015 though, unfortunately. Khan probably won't fight until April at the earliest and chances are Sky won't be putting Brook back in with anyone until June or July. The window for them to fight before Ramadan isn't that big when you consider that Khan in particular is a two fighters per year guy (Brook has been a little more hampered by injury). Can see it being one of those annoying scenarios where both of them keep announcing and having fights about six weeks apart from each other without ever quite falling in to place to get it on with each other.

Shame, because I'm looking forward to Coxy's reaction when Khan wins!
