I think Matt will be game here, but i dont think he has any chance of winning. He needs to stop Kell and there is no chance of that happening. I'm sure Hatton will target the body but I dont think Kell will let that happen. Brook also wont go in there looking for a stoppage. He'll box smart and just apply his far greater skill levels.
I see this as a 10rounds to 2 fight in Kells favour.

Just hope it is a good fight.
That was embarrassing how bob went on about himself.

This sums up my feelings most. Fight after fight Brook has said he'll win by KO and just nicely boxed his way to a shut out win. I can see this again. Hatton's a good test but Brook should beat him reasonably well, with respect to Matt. |

Though perhaps the safe bet is Brook by decision, think i fancy Brook by a stoppage here.
Matthew is tough, strong and is a good all around fighter. He's clearly proved to be a real improver and that's testament to his hunger and dedication to his craft. But i think Kell Brook has genuine world class ability and that'll be the difference.
It'll be very noteworthy if Brook can stop Matt and i think he's capable of it. Alvarez couldn't do it, but Alvarez is more predictable with his attacks. He hits solidly but you can better brace for his punches. Brook though finds strange angles and hits people with stuff they don't see coming and with excellent speed. As tough and resilient as Matthew undoubtedly is, if he starts getting repeatedly pinged with punches he can't spot coming he'll do well to see it out.
Hatton's best chance is to make it dirty, attritional and force a very hard pace. Hope that Brook can't handle being taken out of his stride. But course its always possible that the harder Brook is pushed, the more we'll see him produce. I think Kell has always had that look about his boxing, always get the feeling we've only scratched the surface upto yet. This fight will help us to see if Brook is the real McCoy.

I don't see Hatton being stopped here, but I don't think he has the speed to trouble Brook at all. Wide UD.
Alvarez's best shots didn't wobble Hatton. I don't think Brook has the artillery to do more damage.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a stoppage, Brook came close to stopping Ndou a couple of times late on and for me he's more durable than Hatton.

The more I think about this the more I fancy the stoppage as I see Matthew pressing the pace in which the harder kell is pressed the more we will see of kell of how good he is. By the just a little of topic on my work breaks I will have my back to the ingle gym while looking out to the arena thinking about sat night all while the weigh in is going on a spit away.

I can see a closer fight than most, I think brook will win but he will have to work to do it IMO. He isn't stopping matt, but there is a slight chance of him getting stopped.

I'm covering this one live on Saturday and I can't wait to see Brook fight in the flesh. I reckon Brook wins on points and outclasses Matt by using his superior counter moves. Matt just won't be fast enough to get past that. I can't see a stoppage, I don't think Brook has world class power.

I concur. I think Brook is a stiff puncher but he doesn't look to have genuine knockout power. Coupled with the fact Matt's durability is one of his major assets, i don't see a stoppage either. What wouldn't surprise me is one or two flash knockdowns due to Matt pressing and Brook's reflexes and angles. |

Maybe a bit contraditory to what I have previously said but have just remembered an interview with witter in which he said kell hits hard but he hits harder  |
