Alexander-Brook

By Scott Gilfoid: Undefeated welterweight Kell Brook (29-0, 19 KO’s) got some bad news earlier today about IBF welterweight champion Devon Alexander (24-1, 13 KO’s) suffering a bicep injury that will delay their February 23rd fight.

Depending on how badly Alexander’s injury it is, we could be looking at the fight being delayed many months, especially if it’s a torn bicep like then one former IBF/WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto suffered on two occasions.

Brook said on his twitter “Can’t put into words how gutted I am.”

By Scott Gilfoid: IBF welterweight champion Devon Alexander (24-1, 13 KO’s) has reportedly suffered a biceps injury while training for his scheduled February 23rd title defense against unbeaten Kell Brook (29-0, 19 KO’s) in Detroit, Michigan. The injury is bad to where Alexander’s fight with Brook will need to be postponed until a later date.

Brook’s promoter Eddie Hearn said on his twitter “We received the news from Golden Boy Boxing that Devon Alexander has pulled out of the fight due to a bicep injury. We will have a new date ASAP [as soon as possible].”

By Scott Gilfoid: Kell Brook (29-0, 19 KO’s) received some bad news earlier today about his fight against IBF welterweight champion Devon Alexander (24-1, 13 KO’s) being postponed because of an injury Alexander suffered while in training for their now canceled February 23rd fight.

That fight date is now off, but the fight is still very much on, but they need to figure out how long it’s going to take for Alexander’s injured bicep to heal before they can give a date for the fight.

By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten welterweight contender Kell Brook (29-0, 19 KO’s) sounds like a man that’s possessed as the time gets nearer for him to step inside the ring and face IBF welterweight champion Devon Alexander (24-1, 13 KO’s) on February 23rd at the Masonic Temple Theatre in Detroit, Michigan.

Brook said “There’s no way that I am coming home without that world title. This is my destiny, it’s just meant to be and there’s nothing Devon Alexander can do to stop me.”

By Rusty Nate: Kell Brook (29-0-0) travels to Detroit in February to make his attempt at the IBF World Title currently held by Devon Alexander (24-1-0).

There is a lot of opinion flying around about this fight. The majority of the American writers seem to be completely writing Brook off as a hype job who will fail miserably and disappear into the boxing twilight zone of the “never quite made it” fighters.

I don’t really understand this point of view, its not like he fighting an elite level world champion.

By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten Kell Brook (29-0, 19 KO’s) is picking the wrong champion and the wrong time to be finally stepping it up against a quality opposition after 9 years as a pro. Brook will be challenging IBF welterweight champion Devon Alexander (24-1, 13 KO’s) on February 23rd at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan.

Brook, 25, has been spoon fed all these years nothing but incredibly weak opposition and even in his last two fights, he was still facing weak opponents. Well, spoon fed opposition ends on February 23rd when he fights Alexander, and there’s going to be a lesson learned from this after Brook gets spanked badly.

By Scott Gilfoid: It’s hard to believe that 8-year pro Kell Brook (29-0, 19 KO’s) will be facing his first real test of his career when he meets up with IBF welterweight champion Devon Alexander (24-1, 13 KO’s) on February 23rd at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan.

This is going to be a tough battle for the 26-year-old Brook because he’s not had anyone even close to being on the same talent level as Alexander, and when he was stepped up a little bit in facing Carson Jones earlier this year in July, Brook was fought to a standstill in winning a controversial 12 round majority decision in a fight where Brook was really lucky he wasn’t knocked out in.

By Scott Gilfoid: Kell Brook (29-0, 19 KO’s) suffered an ankle injury in training recently, and he’s not going to be able to make the original January 19th date in his title challenge against IBF welterweight champion Devon Alexander (24-1, 13 KO’s). The Brook-Alexander fight will now be pushed back to March 2nd at the Nokia Theater, in Los Angeles, California, USA.
