By Scott Gilfoid: Undefeated Kell Brook (29-0, 19 KO’s) doesn’t mind the fact that he’s the underdog for his February 23rd fight against IBF welterweight champion Devon Alexander (24-1, 13 KO’s) at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan.
Brook said to the liverpoolecho.co.uk “It’s the first time in my career I’ve been the underdog but it doesn’t matter to me. I’m going to show him and the world…I’ll go out there and won’t be denied.”
If Brook is going to show the world that they were wrong to select Alexander as the winner then Brook is going to have to look a lot better than he looked in his fights against Carson Jones and Hector David Saldivia because he didn’t show in either of those fights that he can beat a talent like Alexander.

By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten Kell Brook (29-0, 19 KO’s) seems to have inherited a little too much self-confidence from some of his fellow Brit fighters because he’s approaching his February 23rd title challenge against highly skilled and talented IBF welterweight champion Devon Alexander (24-1, 13 KO’s) as if the win is a forgone conclusion instead of a hope and a prayer, as it should be for Brook. He’s going to be fighting away from the safe confines of England on February 23rd and instead it’s going to be in Detroit, Michigan, at the Joe Louis Arena.

By Scott Gilfoid: IBF welterweight champion Devon Alexander (24-1, 13 KO’s) took some time out recently to pour over some of the fights of his opponent Kell Brook (29-0, 19 KO’s) for February 23rd, and Alexander came away disappointed in the talent level of Brook as well as his poor opposition. When Alexander saw Brook’s glossy record and heard all the hype about him, he was expecting to see a really talented fighter but when he sat down and watched him fight, Alexander didn’t see anything in his game that he feels will give him trouble.
