Yeah I'm not sure of that myself! Not like we haven't seen Kell Brook blow away a Latvian and then call out Amir Khan before...

Go on Kell, call out Khan again
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

If they do fight each other, hope they knock each other out. It's not a superfight so I don't know why the British public treats it like one.

It isn't but it will attract interest and I would buy the PPV to see Khan get starched. It needs to happen more or less next fight for each though, otherwise whatever interest there still is will dwindle to nothing.

Aside from being a pair of fannies, there is no reason why this fight doesnt happen next. Both are desperate to remain relevant, both have been stopped relatively recently, neither is threatening elite fighters, and both could do with an end of career payday.

Who is AJ's next mandatory? Will it be Whyte if he beats Chisora?

Yes his next mandatory will be the WBO, which will be Whyte if he beats Chisora. He’s likely to be mandated to fight Pulev again in 2020 by the IBF.

Fair play to Pedraza for getting through the 11th round, that was unbelievable pressure.  42 power punches landed in that round alone :o

First time watching kell brook , very average fighter imo
Very harsh judging him on that performance to be fair.  He was just going through the motions last night, nothing like himself.  I think the Khan business has broken him to be honest, that was a world title eliminator and he looked like he just didn't care anymore.  Boxing is a very dangerous game if you don't have the motivation.

That's like saying your first time watching Fury was vs one of the journeymen he has just faced. Brook is far from average.

Samie will be hanging around a kebab shop somewhere offering an open challenge for his Maltese title.

I'm not Liverpool based I'm afraid, and only in town for a couple of matches in December then straight back out again.  I will get knocked out in a pub car park somewhere in solidarity...

I dont think that's the reason.  Warrington v Frampton was never going to do big numbers regardless.  Frampton v Quigg did 240k ppv buys with all the sky hype behind it.  That fight will have its audience and Whyte v Chisora wont change it too much.

Whyte v Chisora was ideally would of been this weekend but the O2 wasn't available so it was next week or next year.  Next year doesnt work for Whyte who could possibly fight AJ in April.

Ridiculous that either event is PPV. I'm a big boxing fan and pay for a majority of PPVs but won't be buying either. Plenty of boxing fans will follow suit, and casuals won't be arsed so both events could tank.

Puroesu do you actually believe what you are saying because you are legit sounding like you're drinking the Matchroom koolaid

This move from Eddie is not a good look for boxing.

I wont be in the country but I would have watched the Whyte fight because of the first one. He clearly wants to kill off the competition and that's fair enough. I've done the same thing as head of a Nigerian community organisation when he had some wannabe rival organisation  trying to make noise. We put one of our events on the same date (deliberately) and they subsequently lost steam and fcuked off.

I have no issues with them being snide like that but trying to pretend it couldn't be helped is just insulting

I wouldn't be surprised if it was more to spite Frampton than Warrren. I've watched a video of Hearn talking about Frampton and saying 'he doesn't have to like me but I can make him so much money' when Frampton was a free agent. He went and signed with Warren as clearly Carl could not get past his dislike of Eddie

Pretty sure that Hearn and Warren have both done this to each other over the years. Definitely not the first time Matchroom has done it. Can't remember 2 PPVs at the same time though, but they're both domestic dust ups that shouldn't be PPVs anyway.

In other news, PBC have signed up with ITV, so this shit is only going to get worse.

He has a world title of sorts and Ginger fancies a handy extra weight class shiny thing.

Fielding's size and reach could pose early problems but Canelo is far too good and will surely break him down to a stoppage.
