News Brook / Jennings Fight is Off!

It looks like the fight is now off due to a knuckle injury, picked up in his last win against Laszlo Komjathi in October.

Michel Jenning: "I'm not scared of facing Kell - I'm desperate to fight him," said Jennings. "I fought Miguel Cotto in his own backyard and was convinced I'd beat him. I'd never go into any fight unless I thought I could win, but my hand just wasn't right. I've got to be 100 per cent fit or there's just no point in doing it.

If I'm beaten by someone because of their ability then that's fair enough, but if it's because I'm not fit then that's harder to take. "I'm convinced I'll beat him, but I will have to be in my best condition to do it."

Conspiracy Theories Out Already

Stories about a conspiracy to place Michael in the Cotto bout, just to rebuilt Cottos confidance are begining to merge. I really though that talk of this nature would be out before now but it looks like someone somewhere has said something stupid. Pete "The Heat" has written some damaging and insulting words about Michael's entitlement to fight the Cotto bout. Let me make on thing clear, Michael deserved this chance; he also deserves a few more. Talk about this being a match to revive Cotto's confidence is damaging to Michael (in my option) and comments of this nature should never be published. Boxing is not the X-Files! Keep your opions to yourself and let the boxing do the talking!!!

Chris Flanagan - www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk

" There’s no disgrace in losing to a world-class fighter, and, after the initial pain of defeat has subsided, Michael will be able to look back with pride; and sometimes fighters can learn from defeats like that and come back stronger. Let’s hope Jennings will."

He assumed more and more control as the fight wore on and had Pryce in serious trouble in the middle rounds.
Jennings, from Chorley, eventually took a unanimous points decision to extend his unbeaten record to 28 fights.
Bradley caught me with some cracking shots but you have got to overcome your hard fights if you are a champion, said the 28-year-old Jennings.
It was a cracking fight and it was not the kind of fight I would like to have every night. I will be looking for an easier one next time.
