Stop being fanboys and say it as it is. Spence was the better man on the night and deserved the win.
Also Kell probably could have fought on, but he lives to fight another day. I'm a massive fan but there's no need to keep making excuses. That's the best he's looked making the weight in a long time. Would have liked to see what would have happened if the eye wouldn't have gone but that's all 'what ifs' and Spence got a good win against a big strong welterweight and showed his class.
Also Spence has made a fan out of me, wish the kid every success, he's a nice lad.
Brook definitely had his share of moments, but overall it was clear as day that Spence was really in control from the start to by the time the fight ended.
It was like a basketball team who was up by 10 for the majority of the game with the other team making occasional runs to make it interesting -- but never really truly threatening to come away with the lead.
Brook's a really nice fighter; I think he resides somewhere within the realm of a B+ level guy, which is nothing to sneeze at, but I think we all found out this past Saturday that Spence is squarely A level material.
He's going to be a tough, TOUGH out for a long ass time, folks. Get used to it.
-There were no true Brook fans (except for LacedUp) a year ago.
-Golovkin fans 'mysteriously' became Brook fans.
-A bunch of people who don't like Spence suddenly became Brook fans.
We listened to how Brook was too good for him and over 50% of the people here choose Brook to win. Now, Brook was somehow trash all along. Golovkin gets all the credit. And when that fails, "But Spence won't get past ____".
Seen as though I've been to Brooks last 10 or so fights I'd say I'm a true fan. And my avatar has been the same since I joined. Im just not going to make excuses, that would be pathetic.

Brook put up a great fight but no way he was winning on the cards....plus I don't think he beats Thurman & would of loved to see him with Garcia but it's time he evaluates his health & think about retirement. Though if he is going to fight let it be 1 more only & it must be against khan....brook should win that one make some good $ then leave the game.
Yeah, that might be the move, Khan and then ride off into the sunset.
Shame he didn't fight more of the other welters.
I get the feeling he would have done just fine.

Yeah it is a lot of this going on right now!
GGG ruined Brook's career. Anyone who refuses to acknowledge that has issues.
Ruined it how? It was his other eye that went. Obviously the bone around his eyes are brittle
Brook has lost immense standing in the game, even more than just a belt. He fought well, but he seems to be a bit of a front runner like his countryman Amir. Got out fast v jones, ggg, porter and Spence faded in each.

Hey, I pretty much predicted the beatdown.
But, I had no idea Brook was going to test Spence so thoroughly.
and make no mistake, halfway thru it was an even fight with it looking very much like it might be Kell's night.
I always liked Brook.
But, I thought he was a bit hyped.
Now, I know he is for real and if he stays at 147, I don't see any other welter beating him.

Yeah, it's pretty weak. It was the exact same Kell Brook thay faded in the first Jones fight, he had just been feasting on B level guys and it made some of his fans delusional.
He's a good fighter but lost to a better one, period.
C level lad. Shawn Porter was really the only live body he fought. Minus the Golovkin massacre.
Spence is better than we though, totally proved himself.

2 out of 3 live bodies Brook faced in his 13 year career have broken each side of his orbital bone. That's a boxing first surely, a record Brook and his bumhole fans can be proud of.
Me too mate, It's embarrassing. I made a bold prediction that Brook chin checks spence and knocks him out, but was proven wrong. Spence answered all my doubts and made a fan out of me also, has an exciting style, humble, and got grit, hope he has success in his career also.
I agree. I also made the same prediction as you and was proven wrong. It hurt at first when I walked out of Bramall Lane last night, I didn't even stay for the interviews I was so mad. But when I got home and thought about it, it's part of boxing. Everyone loses and there's nothing that can be done about it.
There's no need for excuses. You won't ever catch me making any excuses unlike a lot of guys on here. I was confident in the win and was proven wrong. Kell is a big strong welterweight so if another welterweight beats him I'm impressed, which I was lastnight.
I'm sure he gives a sh*t.:lol1:
I'm sure he doesnt!
It was just an opinion, not meant to offend anyone who might have been more impressed with Spence than me.

Well said about Brook etc, although I was not particularly impressed with Spence.
We argue, we debate, and we fight but I can always give respect to those that respect the fighters. They put their lives on the line and they deserve it.
