Brook will be making his first start and initial defense of the 147lbs title he took from previously undefeated Shawn Porter. Kell Brook is a disciplined fighter and always come to a bout in great shape. Brook's jab is the key that always wins him the fight. Brook will lose the 1st couple of rounds but keep the pace and jab combo right late in the rounds. He cannot get into a brawl with Ion as this is what Ion wants.
Ionut Dan Ion of Quebec, Canada, has won five in a row and eight of his last nine. The only blemishes his record are a pair of close, controversial decision losses. He is a good fighter who is a crafty talented southpaw. Lets just say he likes to fight and has the ability to take a good punch. Key to victory, he need to get inside Kell Brook's jab and stay there.
