Comments Thread For: Kell Brook's Promoter To Errol Spence: You Will Get What You Want!

[LacedUp]

Brook has also been wobbled by some pretty light hitters. He took some shots from ggg, and he deserves some credit, but don't pretend like he wasn't the heavier fighter of the two.

Homagat

This is some sig-worthy stuff right here

Brook had one ppv fight and that was with GGG, the unified MW fighter endorsed by Jordan. That fight did millions around the globe because ggg is a global athlete.

Brook isn't a ppv fighter. He was Party of a fight that was worthy of ppv in U.K.

Don't think you understand how you come off looking insecure. Half the time you throw stuff out there. Brook resume isn't that great, he's been wobbled a few times, and he gets hit. His best win was a grabbling match with a fight much smaller than him.

Brook can beat Spence, but pretending it a for sure deal is silly. Spence has a lot of skill, serious power, and was able to blow out a guy Khan and Manny wasn't, and in convincing fashion. He was never once in danger of losing.

Brook has headlined two PPV cards and he's going on PPV for the rest of his career. That is clear.

Insecure That's hilarious. I welcome a Spence fight. I have no problem with it whatsoever.

You've said:

1) Porter is "much smaller" than Brook
2) Brook was "much heavier" than GGG

That's some laughable stuff.

It's not a guarantee, of course, however, if you know how to analyze a fighter and the mistakes they make you'd realize who is the clear favourite.

[Butt stuff]

Hard to see Kell making Welter these days, not healthily anyways.

I think that's about right. But the eye test tells me Brook loses to Spence. Spence can box. His last few fights he was just trying to get the KO.



Tagged by Algier isn't a journalman, he's a former champion who went 12 with both Khan and Manny.

Brook win with Porter was ok, but he held all night. He could do that because he was so much bigger than Porter.

Brook fights Spence, he'll be fighting a guy as big as him. That holding won't work.

He didn't try to hold ggg either, because he knew ggg was strong enough to stop it.

We should rename you Delusional Jedi.... Porter is a sizeable welterweight, he's a bit on the short side but that doesn't make him small, he's an absolute tank at 147.

Brook was a pound heavier than Golovkin yes but that doesn't mean he was bigger than him, we said all along that Brook looked like he could still shed a few pounds more where as Golovkin didn't. That argument should be put to bed seeing as Brook is returning to 147. So much for all the "he's a natural middleweight" and "he's outgrown welterweight" nonsense the GGG ****riders were spouting.

Brook v Spence is Hearn's absolute last result, I think they're both well aware he won't be the same boxer he was before GGG and Khan is a much easier nights work for Kell. Kell knocks Khan out within 7. They don't wanna risk a loss to Spence because then he falls right back down the pecking order and that's likely where he stays, if he beats Khan or gets another big fight, win or lose he's financially fine and can afford to take fights like Spence after.

That being said I think Brook stops Spence early

Yea, I was critical of Spence for a while because he'd plant his feet in cement when he went on his offensive sprees and didn't mind his defense (same issue Thurman had until recently). But, against Bundu he showed improvement in those areas and I can't really criticize him much.

Brook doesn't do a lot wrong, but he won't be able to out maneuver Spence like he did the somewhat predictable Porter. Errol is also a lot more accurate and versatile than Shawn.

[Strategic1]

So it's pretty clear... Brook's 1st choice is a unification bout with Pacquiao. If that doesn't happen, then he wants Spence.

Cool with me.

[Sparked_26]

Who is Khan actually fighting though?

As good as this fight is the Khan fight is still bigger. If Khan gets ironed out one more time I think that fight is gone even for casuals.

[deathofaclown]

Is he?

Could have sworn i've seen him get tagged continuously by a whole host of average joes.

Exactly. He pulls out in straight lines gets tagged. He's very easy to hit at times.

If he tries that **** against Brook, he will be flat on his back.
