By Scott Gilfoid: Kell Brook’s 4th round TKO win over former WBA welterweight champion Vyacheslav Senchenko last night appears to have planted some ideas into his head because he’s now targeting Amir Khan and Adrien Broner. The confidence that Brook gained from beating the #8 IBF, #11 WBA seems to have him feeling like he’s not only ready to face Khan and Broner, but beat them as well.
Brook said via Sky Sports “I’ve arrived. I want Broner. I want Khan. I want the massive fights…This new kid, Broner, who talks trash and pretends to be something he isn’t, he can also get it.”
Brook says he’s “arrived” now that he’s beaten Senchenko. I don’t that this is the fight that I would consider to be a statement type of a fight. I mean, I think I remember Senchenko being pounded last year and stopped by Paulie Malignaggi in 9 rounds.
