Comments Thread For: Kell Brook vs. Errol Spence is Targeted For May in The UK

[Dr Rumack]

**** Khan maybe, but the dude is anything but irrelevant. He'd obviously sell more in the UK than Spence. Errol isn't likely to grab casuals, where I think Khan would catch quite a few. I like the fight either way. I think Brook beats both. The thing with Amir is that Kell would need to knock him out, whereas I think he can outbox Spence. And isn't Spence a little too green to count as a legacy fight? Wouldn't Khan count more in that regard simply off of competition? In a logical world, Brook deals with Spence and Khan, if he has any brain cells left, targets Manny and then retires for his own safety.

A win over Khan means nothing. The guy hasn't had a significant win himself since Maidana in 2010. Apart from an endless stream of talk he has nothing to show for his last six years.

You're right, Spence is young. But he looks like the goods and even if he loses to Brook he'll probably back up the hype down the road. Either way, everyone would pick him over Khan right now.

but this site told me brook was scared of spence? And he stepped up to fight golovkin cause spence was too dangerous a fight?

Lol I remember that, probably the same people saying GGG is ducking Charlo.

[JWHardin]

Brook has not ducked or fought Spence yet. None of us know who he will fight yet - it depends on Khan. I think Khan will hope Spence beats Brook to help him with negotiations vs Brook.

I hope they refuse additional time until negotiations start with Spence, because it is obviously time that will be used to try to lure Khan in the ring. If Brook is fighting in May, no more time is needed. Sign the fight or vacate the belt.

Brook said himself he preferred to fight Khan or Pacquiao instead of Spence. It all comes down to money. He fought GGG instead of Spence because of more money, not the challenge. Not rocket science.

The Spence reign begins in May.

An additional extension? DAMN! What's wrong with the IBF? Errol became the mando in August 2016! Brook fought GGG in September 2016! Now they want to wait until May? Khan wants a tune-up in April? DAMN! How long has he been #1 contender?

[Alx.]

Will be a good fight

"Khan wants to take an interim-fight..."

The IBF often take a hard line on this stuff too.

[Rip Chudd]

Injured or not, it makes sense for Khan to let Brook fight Spence first. He'll still get a good split even if Brook wins, a better one if he loses. And either way Brook (probably) goes 12 rounds with a big, bruising puncher.

On that note how is Brooks orbital bone? That's a worrying injury against a big puncher like Spence.

I don't know, guess we'll have to see when they get in the ring. Hopefully nothing happens to Brook on account of it during sparring leading up to the fight.

i cant believe brook can make 147.
