Kell Brook Vs Young Mutley

[BlackCountryFan]

According to the British Boxing and Boxrec shedules these two will be fighting on Friday April 24th at Wolverhampton Civic Hall.
Should be a *******, I for one will be there!!!

I hope its on tv cos i cant go to the fight.It will be a good one,i think Brook will probably win it but this is a much better opponent than some of the names that have been mentioned for his next fight.

[BlackCountryFan]

I think you are probably right, Although i'd fancy Mutley in the early rounds. Definate step up in class for Brook though.

[Dubstep]

Yeah good fight...Brook needs a couple more of these before bigger things. I wish ****** would do the traditional route to the title with Brook. Pick up the European title - it's so much better than rushing the WBO.

[Power]

will be a great fight and will be able to show home good brook really is cause im sure mutley wont come under prepared

[dwilson]

This should be a good fight and another decent test for Brook. Glad to see a ****** fighter actually facing a live opponent.

[The Kurgan]

Interesting fight. I'd always found Mutley's style likeable: when he isn't beating the crap out of you, he tries to play pat-a-cake with his defence.

(Maybe I'm mistaking him for someone else; I can't check out youtube footage of him here.)

will be on sky friday fight night.

Brook really needs to step it up. To be honest i reckon ****** is going to start match his domestic fighters like Brook vs Jennings on the Khan undercard bills. domestic big fights is the only way he can generate interest and buffer cards without Cook and Enzo.

Heard about this the weekend.

Brook was supposed to defend against Telfords Mark Lloyd originally but the BBBoC veto'd that so Brook fought Elwell. Then first team (the gym/promoter) behind Elwell, LLoyd and Mutley got the BBBoC to give Lloyd the shot. But its Sky who have now rejected him as an opponent thus Mutley gets it. Should be a good en! Will be Friday Fight Night, first time boxings been on TV at the civic since the Elcock McDermott fight. Cant wait!!

[Kid Lucky]

I think one or two of us were speculating about Sky's views on future opponents after the Elwell blow-out and some of the other mismatches recently.

This is a good match up though if Mutley gets up for it and prepares right. Brook gets to go to his oppo's back yard which keeps him on his toes too.

Will be interesting to see if tension between ******'s mismatches and joke titles and Sky's policy develops.

To be fair the card last week saw Cook and Mac matched in a way that ****** would have been rightly as it turns out, worried about in risky fights.

[adamsutherland]

this is his thurd defence isnt it? so he wins the belt outright? if it is then i hope he moves on to commonwealth and european ventures

[TFFP]

This could be the first decent test of his career.

He's had too many glass jawed easy touches that are in awe of him. Mutley is a strong guy with a punch, about time.

[rooq]

i'm not sure how much mutley has left tbh - although i haven't seen much of him since the disasterous attempt to become a lww.

[ninebar]

Great fight for Brook and could be good for the fan's but it's short notice for Mutley!

[Grievesy]

Good to see Brook step up his comp. I'm interested to see how well he does.

I'd also like to see him keep his fucking chin tucked in.

[bored]

This is a great fight. If Brook comes through this we can see how good he is. I'm worried for him because I'm a fan but if he's going to be good enough then he'll only find out by fighting the best guys at his level.

[icemax]

I'd also like to see him keep his fucking chin tucked in.

You've noticed as well :good Mutley is too experienced not to take Brook to task over that bad little habit.

[hendrix_lennon]

I'd imagine Mutley has been waiting a long, long time for this fight.
My thoughts are that Brook will win it but it should be a *******.

[robpalmer135]

yeh with cleverly and brook knocking guys out in first rounds the last couple of fight sky will not accept shit opponents.

[cg123]

i heard brook has broke his hand???
dont now if any truth in it

[Carnage]

Will be a great fight! Brook is definatly the better fighter though.

[Sevlow]

Yeah i wish Kell would tuck his chin away. There's a video on daily motion of him getting decked in his fight with Karl David. k4qzSqzFOzxvvIcGaq ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) <--Fight. He seems to take the shot relatively well seeing as he went straight into it and landed flush on the chin.

This fights now off, Brook hurt his hand.

Will be replaced by Don Broadhurst so it'll still be on Sky.

Also Mark Lloyd (who originally was supposed to get the title shot at Brook until Sky veto'd it) will face Swindon's Jamie Cox in what could be an eliminator.

[Flea Man]

Good fight for Brook. Hopefully the winner will fight Jennings.

[BlackCountryFan]

I'm absolutely gutted....was really looking forward to this fight.

Saturday - is Mutley still gonna be fightin on the card?
Just wonder where this leaves Mutley now????

[saturday_kid]

Not sure yet mate.

I know what you mean though mate, he's not getting any younger and apart from keep busy fights everytime recently he's been up for a meaningful big fight (the proposed eliminator with O'Donnell, English title fight with Amar, and now the British title fight with Brook) its hit the blocks for some reason or other, gutted.
