WelshDevilRob Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Kell Brooks next fight will be on 25th June in Sheffield. It will be his 1st fight under new promoters Matchroom. There is a shortlist of opponents and I've heard that it could be one of the following: Kendall Holt, Demetrius Hopkins or Steve Forbes. Its also been rumoured that it could be Paulie Malignaggi. Anyone heard anything on an opponent and how do you think he would fare against the names suggested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendall Holts a good one, he needs a big win. Wont be Malignaggi, highly doubt that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ko Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Mike Jones? Dont think he will travel, there both WBO No1 and No2 right? But is Pacquiao vacating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamasadlittleboy Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Mike Jones? Dont think he will travel, there both WBO No1 and No2 right? But is Pacquiao vacating? The always plentiful "interim" titles will be out if they want them. They were talking about Golden Boy wanting to use Brook (though Jones is with Top Rank) so I wouldn't rule out a US name. Personally I'd try and get Aydin to the UK and secure a #1 WBC place or Zaveck/M'Baye and go straight for a world title. Talking about interim titles, Hirales v Geles II is a rematch of a WBO interim-unification match from earlier this year O_o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucgdcxw Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Looking at the names above I think Steve Forbes is the most likely. He is a light puncher so wont be too much of a threat and I dont imagine he'll have too many options for big fights elsewhere. Kendall Holt would be a great test.

londoner Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I read Lovemore N'Dou is going to be his next opponent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm25 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 He definitly needs to step it up. Don't think he's quite ready for Mike Jones yet though. Lovemore N'dou seems like a better idea indeed. I think the kid is talented but he needs to fight someone who will test him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamasadlittleboy Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I'm not a fan of the N'dou match up, he was beaten by Hatton (despite the cards), Hatton would have been a much better opponent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 Lovemore is not quite the big name. Quite a boring match-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
