Boostin' Kev Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Not really into the Japanese broadcasts that much tbh but some of those new year cards in the past have been good and there's nothing else new so will put some music on and watch them. It's always worthwhile watching things like this, 115 is one of the best divisions in the sport imo and I wouldn't have known much about the fighters there if it wasn't for watching cards like those 2 before NY. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ2 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 A 3 fight deal with Khan. Presumably Brook being the 3rd if all goes to plan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieStevenson Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Tremendous, looking forward to his fights already. I'm still hoping for Brook to put him on his arse at some point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco30 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Matchroom hype machine in full force for Khan since he signed. 2 bums and brook that will be I imagine. Can't stand the wee p***k so hope brook sparks him out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Khan fighting same night as Frampton/Dinaire.Horn/Crawford same night too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I'm hopefully wrong here but both Khan and Brook are struggling with their careers just now. This move reeks of an excuse to give each fighter a few fluffys (which Brook has had many of already) with the excuse that at end of it all we'll see a couple of lower to outside top 10 147 fighters get in the ring with each other. You have to hand it to Hearn, he's an excellent businessman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to hand it to Hearn, he's an excellent businessman. Brook's moved up to 154, and I seriously doubt he'll come back down again. I think Khan will get a tune-up with a 'fluffy', second fight will be against Broner or the Garcia rematch, third fight will be with Brook at 154 so even if he loses the Broner/Garcia they can play the making weight card and still sell it, and then they'll see where he goes from there depending on how they've gone. Assuming he still has his speed, commits to getting in to fighting shape again, "living the life" as it were, and has matured at all, I'd have him to beat Brook on a UD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Whyte and Browne at the 02 on the 24th of March. It’ll certainly be entertaining. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that Brook's done at 147 is the biggest problem. Who wants to watch Khan at 154? I'll be amazed if Khan resurrects his career by going from a tune up to Broner/Garcia then Brook afterwards under Hearn tbh.

It might not get him a world title, but they’ll certainly earn him a lot of money, get huge publicity, and, certainly in the case of Garcia and Brook, would still be fights at a very high level, if not quite elite. That’s a fair resurrection in my opinion.Khan v Thurman at welterweight is a fight I’d like to see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't bet on Khan beating anyone. More or less admitted his career is done in the States and that coming home to try and salvage something from his last few fights was his only option. Going into the jungle was obviously the first step to getting back on British screens, probably wise since he's done nothing in a boxing sense for about 2 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco30 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 After watching whyte and helenius surely Browne wins that match , and see it being fairly comfortable for the big man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe against aj he was better but think that was aj's own doing tbh. Against chisora whyte was lucky to get the decision imo. And chisora is nothing but a stepping stone for the big boys as pulev showed when he absolutely schooled him. Defo not buying into that one. Brownes a step up and I think it's a step to far , time will tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brownes a step up and I think it's a step to far , time will tell. I absolutely agree, the way I read it though they meant Whyte was better v Chisora than he was against Helenius basically. The fact we’re looking at Whyte being positioned for another crack at the top depresses me. Nothing he’s done, other than being of limited ability. Edit: to change “crack at the rope” to crack at the top. Not sure folk get a crack at the rope? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
