Kell Brook vs Andre Berto?

First topic message reminder :

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

Thoughts?

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

I'd have smashed my laptop and phone to pieces so wouldn't hear from me for a while! (every cloud 'n all that!)

Richard Poxon was bigging up Adam Etches' opponent on the undercard.

First real test for The Bomber?

Wow what a fight, I mean it's a top levelled guy that we've all heard of. Wait, you guys have heard of Jo Jo Dan right?

Khomitsky for Etches (the guy that slapped around Buglioni and drew with Blackman).

Good fight that.

I did say it would be Jo Jo Dan

Could this be an unnecessary risk for brook?

Never seen Dan but know his two losses were to aydin both of which were controversial if I can remember

No name recognition and a chance Brook can look ordinary it's not Exaclty a normal choice of opponent but hey I guess some guys fight their mandatories while others don't

Dan doesnt have great power when ive seen him and brook is a better boxer so no not too much risk for a comeback fight

Aydin is very average, controversial or not two losses to him don't say much about Dan.

Where do you turn when your search for an opponent is getting desperate? Dan.

Punnet of Juicy strawberries with that cow pie sir?

Hope Brook's career doesn't go the same route as "Who-gives-a-s**t" Quigg !!

Give Brook a turd first up by all means, he deserves that !!...............But look at Quigg's career and take note !!

Quigg is a World champion that fights third on the bill on domestic cards like Clev-Bell.............Scandalous !!

Big puncher though, you'd think kell will want to look impressive for his first defence and he doesn't bang nearly as hard as aydin

Think brook is already a bigger name than quogg ever was but yes I hope kell moves on

I'm liking welterweight atm, and kell should too. Aside from the top 2 in manny and Floyd, there are lots of good names and good fights for brook and all of them winnable. Fighters like Maidana, Thurman, Khan, Bradley, JMM etc are all very good fighters but all beatable and while kell may not beat allof em (he probably beats only 1 or 2) there are a lot.of fights for him

I think Brook is better than people give him credit for............Though there is a touch of the "Always making things harder for himself a la Michael Watson" about him..

Give him a shot against anyone at 147........A shot that is....

Think Khan is all wrong for him though style wise.

I said a while back that they would for Dan to get the mandatory out the way and open up the Summer for a bigger fight.

I don't consider Khan's chin to be as glass as people make out. He's no Margarito but let's be honest the only times he's been stopped its been a wipe out from a big hitters signature shot. He took all hell from Maidana and hung in there.

I think the notion that Kell walks him down and stops him with his first Big Bang is bogus!

N.B. I'Ve been at parent teacher evening tonight so I've been trying to find something nice to say about everyone .

It's more that the likes of Diaz, Limond and Gomez dropped him more than anything Dipper.

I get you. I'd like to think that Khan knows better now that to get in a fire fight when he's buzzed.

I'd like to think that.

What do you teach Dipper

Welsh and cover a few Spanish lessons mate.

Should I ever teach history, I'll get you in a guest speaker . 'My Dad says Hagler was the greatest middleweight in history'....'See me after class!'.

Quién es el mejor boxeador en la historia? Roberto Duran, Manos de piedra, boyo.

Muy bien El niño de leche! Da iawn, y fachgen llaeth.

Wonder what Steffan's Welsh is like?

I was a straight A history student....I was serious about being a teacher but chose the more profitable,So I thought, Psychology route..

I wish I'd taught History instead...

Never mind..

It's an enjoyable profession Truss. My gripe at the minute is my lack of teaching hours as I've moved up, sometimes I see teaching a class as almost a reward for all the paperwork. But that's life.

Good luck to you Mate

I come from a family of linguists, but it skipped my generation. I just typed that back into the translation site i used in the first place... and was wondering what on earth 'the child of milk' was before the penny dropped

I know what you are now..If that's any help ??

A rich, handsome, charismatic ladies man and a captain of industry? No, that's strongy obviously.

There's always time to be a teacher trussy. My best mate just jacked in his well paid job he hated and is half way through his pgce.

I wouldn't want you teaching my kids your version of history, actually i wouldn't want you teaching them at all... but i'm fine with you teaching other people's kids

I wouldn't want me teaching me either !!.
