By Irv Lett: Many boxing fans have written off former WBA welterweight champion Vyacheslav Senchenko (34-1, 23 KO’s) for his fight this Saturday night against unbeaten UK fighter Kell Brook (30-0, 20 KO’s) at the Motorpoint Arena, Sheffield, Yorkshire, United Kingdom. The 27-year-old Brook is already seen as the winner, and people are talking about who he’ll fight after that. I think this is wrong and it’s possible that we could see Brook going down in this fight.
The warning signs for a possible Brook loss are already out there if you look at how Brook fought in his recent 8th round TKO win over Carson Jones last July. While Brook looked good while on offense, he didn’t look nearly as good when getting hit back. In fact, he looked very average when Jones would throw a few token shots at him every now and then.
