Brook defeats 39-year-old N’dou, but fails to impress

By Sean McDaniel Unbeaten number #2 ranked World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight contender Kell Brook (24-0, 16 Ko’s) defeated the 39-year-old former IBF light welterweight champ Lovemore N’dou (48-13-2, 31 KO’s) by a 12 round unanimous decision on Saturday night at the Hillsborough Leisure Centre, Sheffield, Yorkshire, UK. Brook hurt the aging N’dou in the 10th round but was unable to finish him off. The final judges’ scores were 118-111, 119-110, 119-110, all for Brook.

The rest of the rounds were more or less dominated by Brook in a rather dull one-sided fight. Hopefully, Brook will step it up after this to at least where he’s fighting fringe level guys at the world level because it’s high time he stop facing B and C level guys and move up to a higher level to see if he can make it. N’dou did very little in this fight, just mostly covering up and throwing a rare shot.

Compared to what he used to be like in his younger days, it was nothing like his former self. Brook looked small and not particularly powerful or fast. He’ll have problems when he starts facing world level competition unless he can find some power and speed somewhere.

Brook has a guy was basically there to be beaten and yet Brook didn’t look even close to being great. He was tagged when N’dou would let his hands go and the lack of power is something you have to wonder about.

    What fight were you watching Sean? In fact did you bother to watch the fight? This is the usual anti Brittish dribble that normally comes out of this site.

    Brook is a Bum just like haye and khan.

  • britishbulldog says:

    unbelievable article,Brook looked excellent and seems to have everything,most of the so called authors on this site have not got a clue!!

  • Paul says:

    Fails to impress? – are you joking me? … Alvarez found N’dou a lot more tricky than Brook. .. terrible post.

  • uraloser says:

    Fails to impress? You maybe, but then, you know nothing. Ponce.

  • PBL says:

    congrats felix and matthew. great fight

  • Punching Publican says:

    Completely off the mark article….. It was entertaining, Brook looked physically big and his strength allowed him to bully Ndou for long periods. Was close to stopping him…. Certainly a lot closer than Saul Alvarez did last December. If your going to report, report honestly and accurately.

  • Aaron says:

    What was the under card results??

  • Insider says:

    So he wins evry round an you said yourself he dominated also being the underdog in many peoples eyes hmmm.

    How the hell did he look terrible if he dominated every round?

  • tommy dee says:

    By the way, someone will point out that McDaniel wrote this and not Gilfoid, but their all the same person

  • Ben James says:

    Did I just watch the same fight as the author of this article?

    Brook broke the guy physically and mentally, almost any other fighter who took all that punishment would have been out of there.

    I am going to write an article on this fight.

  • shaun123 says:
