Does anyone really believe Kell Brook was going to beat Errol Spence jr. even without this eye injury? It makes no difference ; he can come in @ 154 and still get KO it really don't matter.
Kell Brook is a composed, experienced fighter that has answered more questions than Errol Spence so far in their careers. The weight is more of an issue than the break for me. Fighters typically struggle coming back down in weight. That being said I'm still backing Brook. Spence has all the ability in the world but I don't like how he's reacted in the past when he's been hit. It could be a long night in that hostile arena.
Errol Spence good fighter that boxing "fans" will jump on the bandwagon. Then in about 2 years time will criticise him for apparently ducking someone. The same fans will then say boxing is dead, the fighters don't fight each other, every fight in UFC is amazing, **** Al Heymon he's bad for boxing, compare a UFC fighter to a boxer. Sound familiar ?
Very true. I don't like Haye's gloating when he knows this is a mismatch.
Would be poetic justice if Bellew somehow won.
I like David Haye he adds a lot to the heavyweight division. Tony Bellew has sold the fight well, I hope he's getting a huge payday. I just can't see this ending well.
dude, come on... the guy was KO'd by Ishida in just one fucking round :lol1:
Lol if you listen to the podcast from Brooklyn to the world, Paulie Malignaggi told a funny story about that fight. He fought on the same card and was training at the wild card gym leading up to the fight, as was Ishida. Ishida was getting beat up by everyone in the gym, to the point where Paulie was feeling sorry for him. Paulie won his fight and was in his dressing room watching in shock as Ishida ko'd
I like both but don't understand the hate for Wilder. He's a good fighter that will fight Joshua. Don't forget Wilder knocked out Molina last year and was going to fight Povetkin in Russia. With the exception of Klitschko, what elite fighter has Joshua faced ? Since Wilder is apparently fighting bums.
Probably, I expect GGG to be wary of Jacobs power early on. It's a great fight, the two best middleweights in the world. The odds on Jacobs might tempt me to back him.
So just about everyone is disliked then ? Most people say cherry picking opponents, unfortunately boxing isn't like UFC where the 0 doesn't matter, try to imagine it from a fighters standpoint more often than not if you lose you're going to be used as an opponent in someone else's hometown, with all the cards stacked against you. Boxers can't afford to fight the best in their division every fight, that's why so called cherry picking happens.
I can't remember who it was...but some little fuck doing a very a Hamed'esq type of walkin only to get KO'd in 5 seconds. Somebody will probably know who I'm talking about and post it up.

It would be a blow, but Matchroom are invested in other sports. The three fights mentioned are the biggest possible payday for each fighter, except maybe Joshua (Wilder, Fury so I don't think it's the end of the world for Matchroom, they still have a strong stable
