By Sean McDaniel: Former British welterweight champion Michael Jennings (36-3, 17 KO’s) wants a rematch with undefeated welterweight contender Kell Brook (23-0, 16 KO’s) after being trounced by Brook in a one-sided 5th round TKO on September 11th. Jennings, 33, was never even remotely competitive in the fight, as he looked as timid as he had in his 5th round blowout loss against Miguel Cotto a year earlier in February 2009.

Khan would have problems with Kell Brook
By William Mackay: Perhaps it’s for the best that WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (24-1, 17 KO’s) doesn’t fight unbeaten top welterweight and fellow Brit Kell Brook (23-0, 16 KO’s). It isn’t about Brook being bigger than Khan or anything like that, because Brook is actually shorter than Khan at 5’9″ compared to the 5’10” Khan. And it isn’t because Brook is bigger than Khan in terms of weight or frame, because only a mere seven pounds separates the light welterweight division where Khan fights and the welterweight division where Brook fights.

Brook, 24, is hoping to get a crack at the WBO title in the near future and could possibly be facing someone like Mike Jones in 2011. But in the meantime, Brook has what appears to be an easy fight against the little known known 28-year-old Kotey on Saturday.

By Dallan o’ Donnell: Kell Brook (22-0, 15 KO’s) takes on Philip Kotey on Saturday for the WBO intercontinental title as part of a huge bill In Liverpool’s Echo Arena. . I can’t see this going past the fifth round if Kell brings his A- game on Saturday night.
Kell Brook vs. Philip Kotey: Why is Kell still being matched soft?
By Scott Gilfoid: With his inflated #1 ranking welterweight rankings by the WBO, why is unbeaten Kell Brook (22-0, 15 Ko’s) still being matched soft after six years as a pro and and especially with that kind of ranking. On December 11th, Brook, 24, faces Philip Kotey (21-5-2, 15 KO’s) for a bout at the Echo Arena, in Liverpool, England. Maybe I’m missing something here, but shouldn’t Brook be facing better opposition than this with the kind of ranking he has?
GR8 Britain vs. The World: Preview (part 2) Cleverly, Brook and Macklin
By Shaun Campbell: So Nathan Cleverly is back on Sky Box Office after his last thrilling encounter with Karo Murat, which was thought to be the best fight of the night on The Magnificent 7 bill back in September. After stopping the tough German, Cleverly is now targeting a shot at WBO world champion Juergen Braehmer sometime next year. The talented youngster first has to come through the “WBO European light-heavyweight champion” (whatever that is worth) Alejandro Lakatos. The Spaniard has won 31 fights, and lost 5. But the wins on his record do not really fill anyone with confidence that he will have enough to beat Cleverly.
