This fight is happening early next year. Could be February 3rd at the O2.
Great fight, fancy Brook via stoppage.

Yeah I'll go for Brook as well being more seasoned and imho the more skillful fighter. Just hope his face can hold up after his past two injuries.This fight is happening early next year. Could be February 3rd at the O2.

This is sooner than I expected. He should probably heal up for an extra long time. If he takes some bad damage to his face again I can't see his career going on after.
I'm really surprised they aren't giving him an easy touch coming back. Two tough losses back to back, I don't think a confidence booster would be the worst thing for him right now.
Either Brook just doesn't know how to take a step back, or maybe his pre-existing injuries are worse than they're letting on and they're trying to maximize his remaining paychecks before a stiff-breeze breaks an orbital again.

thats what i think, they are cashing out with smith.
two broken orbital bones, his face was not designed to withstand world class punishment.
Yeah Smith isn't a powerhouse but if Kell's face is weeker now it might not take one unfortunately.Brook's got brass balls. He's got something to prove too. Plus Smith isn't a world-changer with his punch power, though Brook is moving up so we'll see.

Injuries that were a result of him getting his ass beat.Yeah I'll go for Brook as well being more seasoned and imho the more skillful fighter. Just hope his face can hold up after his past two injuries.

i believe golovkins fracture was caused by a jab
Could Smith really be a cash out fight though? He isn't very popular or some elite world beater. It feels more like they are giving Brook a fight he SHOULD win that is a couple steps up from an easy touch and a couple steps down from a pick em' type of fight.
yeah, it's hard to imagine brook not declining after the two brutal losses, but if he's anywhere near his former self he should put liam smith away.
i still have some faith.
edit: wait, what weight is this at? 147? 154?
