By Scott Gilfoid: I have to hand it to Kell Brook (27-0, 18 KO’s). He’s had a good run for the past eight years with pretty much exclusively soft opposition from the 2nd tier of the welterweight division. He’s made it this far and is still sporting an unbeaten record, albeit filled with mostly no names that can’t punch or take shots.

By Scott Gilfoid: While a lot of Brits look at unbeaten welterweight contender Kell Brook (27-0, 18 KO’s) and see a future champion in the 147 pound division the fact remains that the 26-year-old Brook has benefited from cushy matchmaking and still hasn’t faced a live body after eight years as a pro.

Brook: Froch is going to shock people by beating Bute

Kell Brook vs. Carson Jones possible for July 7th in the UK
By Scott Gilfoid: 26-year-old undefeated welterweight contender Kell Brook (27-0, 18 KO’s) could be facing 147 pound contender Carson Jones (34-8-2, 24 KO’s) on July 7th in the UK, according to Dan Rafael on his twitter. Sadly, this amounts to be a huge step up from the 2nd tier opposition that Brook has been mostly facing his entire eight year pro career. I really hate this fight. Carson has been beaten a lot of times in his career already and only once sanctioning body has him ranked in the top 15.
