Kell Brook v Carson Jones

Brook has gone here

A monster rd for carson. I fancy the ko here.

lovin the sky team panicking here

how did brook not knock him out with thoughs punches.

Cracking fight this I think brook is only 1 round ahead and he looks exhausted

Brook defo still win this, but he is no superstar

great courage by brook

lol who is that **** in the red **** throwing uppercuts in the crowd

shirt*

Brook in major trouble when he fights a decent fighter

hell of a fight!

another great fight it has to be said

Great action here but think Brook is slightly short of the top level and the 147 division is full of so much quality

what a fight

the nose

love it if jones did it here

I have brook 2pts in front.

but is Jones a good boxer? has 8 losses, Sky will be worries Brook is'nt what they thought

amazing fight brook looking tired.

something very similar to amir khan in some ways for me. clearly a class act, but may take a couple losses early in his career before pushing on

neutral judges aren't they? 1 USA, 1 UK and 1 other

a german judge

Jones will never win a tight fight in England, but Brook is winning

Jim Watt doesnt have talk some ****

neutral  makes no diff - kell house fighter and promoter. just has to make the bell

not always but it's not like it would be a bad decision if Brook wins so probably makes no difference

brook needs to work on fitness.

go on jones!

the crowd cheering Jones

jones has won from rd 7 onwards so id have it a draw if a "fair" judging was given. rd 12 was nearly a 10-8 rd there

lol, so close, Adam Smiths voice when Jones landed that shot ther

Brook win get the home decision, but he looks a beaten man

Terrific fight. Brook by 2 for me but definitely on the list to get

damn good fight, one clean punch at the end and brook was out of there

I want 15rds.

great fight

but is Jones a good boxer? has 8 losses, Sky will be worries Brook is'nt what they thought

Spot on, they will continue to try big brook up but its clear he be in serious trouble if he takes a step up

one thing is for certain, he needs to start living like an athlete, his style should allow him to go into the later rounds without tiring too badly ala mayweather. No excuse for tiring like he did tonight

Brook better not fight any of the BIG boys in this division.  He has NO chance.  A division 2 boxer that's all he is.  Carson Jones journey man nearly put him away

the yank judge lets Jones down lol

The headbutt was the turning point as didn't help brook breathing.

he tired so badly cos he took hard punches. taking punishment tires you..he'l continue to take punishment in any step up fight

thought 114-114 was fair result

Fair play to the judge scoring a draw, dont know where the 116-113 was, fkin ridiculous

Anyone see the betting in I/R, just interested where Brooks price went in the 2nd half of the fight when he was in trouble.

Another over rated English boxer.  Winning NO belt of any significance in the future

fury in the ring on channel 5 now

brook went just past 1.5 at one point

I layed off Jones at 3.0, not sure if he went lower

He was tired from the 7th round and had not taken a great deal of punishment at that point...no excuse imo

However great fight to watch

The judges had it right. Brook would be a nice prep for khan at 147, before possibly mayweather.

I hope he does... might get a nice price ;)

brook hasn't got a mark on him.

Khan would destroy Brook

Have to agree

Thanks Zekial & bris1

yep, dislike khan but he's all wrong for brook

C'mon Fury! he'll KO the guy in 3

ehh he has a mangled broken nose larrence

i have to agree with Henry here.

Ive said many times on here before that i worry Kell hasnt the best boxing brain. He looked lost in there tonight and whilst Jones is decent, that is all he is. I cant believe how bad and fast he gassed out. worrying.

brook needs to go and train in america and work on fitness. That carson jones was one tough cookie.

Jimmy - Carson Jones is not anywhere near the Top division in the US.  Brook will NEVER beat any of the TOP boys in this division.

i think brook would knock khan out.

jones has got a granite chin.

not necessarily, he's be KO'ed twice

larrance

Khan 1/6

Brook was one punch away from being sparked there. Someone a bit cuter than Jones would have stopped Brook. Worrying that Hearn and Brook makeing excuses here i.e diet, preperation.

crazy comment from kriskin. he is young, and untested in a battle over 12 rounds. he will learn from tonight an push on. writing him off is moronic

danny - I've been in this game too long.  Brook is an average European boxer.  That's all

Watt alluded to not living the life between fights so dunno if he is still out on the town a lot or not

Kriskin

where did i say Carson Jones was a top level US fighter. I said the complete opposite

not too sure about Kell after this, when stepping up the boxers with massive potential usually start well (kell did), struggle in the middle (kell did), but finish brilliantly (kell certainly did not!), he went out on his shield and was a punch from being dropped against a very average boxer, you have to wonder

danny - I've been in this game too long.  Brook is an average European boxer.  That's all

Agreed, he be eaten alive by any of the top level fighters. Fair play tonight though, he did show heart to get the win

brook would knock khan out in the 1st round.

this yank of CH5 doing my head in

larrance - stick to the horse racing with statements like that

kriskin

where did i say Jones was a top level fighter?????

what they talking about brook badly hurt, not what i was watching.

im not saying hes going to be a certain sucess but his career to date has been a breeze, he hasnt been tested in this way till today. are u telling me, both of you, that youve never seen a fighter push on an improve after a tough lesson like this? again, let me reiterate im not argueing with you both, you will possibly be correct, but i have a feeling kell may have a few more levels yet.

i backed prescott when he knocked khan out in the first.

had a cheeky bet on Hope at 4.3

jimmy - u state that |Jones is decent.  What does decent mean??  My statement is that Jones is a division 2 boxer

That's fine Danny C, ofcourse we seen fighters push on after a tough test, however I just dont see brook ever being a top level fighter

Also his career has been a breeze so far due to the lack of a quality opponent, he went in there today against a bloke who has eight loses and he only just scrapped through

danny - good post

He is decent Kriskin. I would have said top level or world class if i meant so.

yes danny well said.

100% agree henry but you could use what your saying as a counter arguement. The lack of quality opponents possibly led to him walking in there thinking it would be at a canter. like in all sports, if you underestimate your opponent your mentally unprepared. End of the day, kell hung on today and the next fight will be make or break for him. perfect preparation for him to kick on if the class is there. soon see fellas, was a good fight for the tv audience at least! unlike the spectacle that just ended on channel 5 in what looked like a barn!

I do agree that it could and should be a kick up the backside for brook and I also agree the tyson fight was a joke but that was always to be expected

Exactly wat does division 2 mean.

Of course jones brook r world class. Brook possibly top 5, jones certainly top 10 in division for my money. So world class?????

Of course he is.


Of course khan should beat brook via points.

But brook will ko khan if he starts yto land.

Quality fighters. Quality fight. Close fight end of.

I had brook by a point

i reckon alot of big shots brook caught carson jones with, would have taken out most.

World class??? What the hell have you been drinking??

sorry carlos but brook is never top 5

henry i think he is talking in fact terms. world class i suppose means different things to different people. i see world class as would be able to fight at the top level, whereas some people for arguements sake are saying anyone from top 10 upwards is technically world class as they are the best ten in the world.

and since were only able to go on kells performances to date, he certainly didnt show the world class top 5 side than many people were assume would be given.

as ive said in previous comments i have a lot of hope for him, but on current showings, no where near the top 5!

Maybe, clearly a term that is thrown around far to easily these day in almost every sport

surely hope cant take these shots for another 5

nice shot to finish it.

carlos - Do u know anything about boxing??  Ur statement is one the worse I've ever read in all my time on here

great nights boxing anyway, bit pissed off about missing the 2/1 Proksa stoppage but the treble is looking good.

Honours pretty even on tonight's bets, honestly think Kell was out on his feet at the end of the 12th though, would have been a nice bonus.

Brook points win for me at 2/1 looks the value at this stage. Not committed to a bet yet. Will be in attendance and it looks a cracking card.

another good call smido, hope you cleaned up.

thought kell could of got fight stopped think it was the 5th round if been more agressive and may needed to of done that against a better oponent, but a wins a win and as i had some 2s for points so   was more than happy, i had him infront by 2 not that it matters

Thanks for the mention Alabaster. Had a very good betting day. Played the Brook points at 2/1 and Proksa KO at 13/8 (another one that missed early value) paid around £144 for a £20 double. Was a great night and was seated on the thrid row which was a bonus! Got to speak to a few guys ringside so bodes well for future attendnace and blogs.

As for the main event I had Brook a pretty wide 9-2-1 winner from ringside. No bias commentary to deal with. Brook cleanded up in the first 6 and, as I thought after Hatton fight and now confirmed, his power isn't good enough. Easy to criticise the performance but it was one Brook needed to come through and would rather happen against Carson Jones than Randall Bailey or Tim Bradley for instance. Eddie Hearn was very honest afterwards when saying changes need to be made and will be made. Hearn is a cool dude by the way, very approachable and I even managed to ask about the Betfair relationship with Matchroom - he didn't know much about it to be fair.

Gavin Rees impressed me.

Darren Barker will jab Proksa's head off by the way. Glad the Pole scored a KO as the odds will be shorter about him Vs Barker than if it'd gone to points (vs Hope). Barker to beat Proksa could be a big bet for me depending on odds of course.

Yeah Barker will box rings round Proksa if they meet but not convinced we'll get a decent price.
