Fowler is huge for 154. There are a lot of physical beasts at that weight these days actually... Watching it I thought Paz was just some poor opponent , but looking into things more after the fight he's actually got a decent record. Too bad he looked absolutely tiny in there vs Fowler

I had Frenois beating Carrol but he gave up too many early rounds to put it beyond doubt. If he'd been boxing and moving from the start rather than pressuring early, I think he could've won it clearly. Neither of them should trouble Farmer...

Brook dominating Zerafa so far but looking pretty lacklustre. A few people speculated before it started that Brook wouldn't really press things in an attempt to lure Khan, but I'm not sure...

[Tocsin]

Too bad about Kelly pulling out, he claimed illness but some are speculating that was BS and his fight is actually being moved to Whyte-Chisora to build the undercard more.

Brook was lacklustre....but sort of understandable given the news that Khan is looking to duck him again. He hasn't had much ring time and overlooked Zerafa and Zerafa came with everything he had. That said Brook wasn't a million miles off a 1st round win, but I'm glad he didn't get it because those 12 rounds would have given him far more stuff to work on and will have shaken off the rust.

And in a strange way....maybe Khan might actually ponder fighting him after a poor showing.

But Brook ought to give Hearn a week or two to try and make the Khan fight, and then just forget all about Khan and boiling down, and just go to 54 and throw his hat into the ring against any of the big names. He didn't look good last night, but a motivated Brook is a legit threat to anyone at 54.

Yeah Brook should just move on to other fights at 154. Khan is a bitch and is wasting everyone's time. Brook could make decent money fighting Mungia, Horn, or even Liam Smith if Warren would let him.
