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

[TOBYLEE1]

If Khan gets a tune up there is always a big chance that he will get stopped with that chin of his and then the fight will lose what ever luster it has.

Unless they pay step aside money to Spence or vacate I don't know how Brook is going to step side him.

If the fight is to happen in May then why do they need another 28 day extension? Cause Kell can't spar? The fight isn't even til May, he doesn't have to start camp til March

Hearns/Brook are trying VERY hard to get out of signing to fight Spence IMO.

Brook is probably just looking to cash out this year and so they would rahter commit to Khan or Pacquiao rather than Spence. That 28-day extension just gives them a little bit more time to try to manouvre away from Spence!

The problem is Brook has to have that IBF title as a negotiating factor for both of those fights; and to keep the IBF title he has to fight Spence first (unless they could get Pac in April in a"unification", which is unlikely). Without that IBF strap he isn't getting Pac later in the year and Khan will probably the try to get the Garcia-Thurman winner. Spence looks to be a harder fight, for less money, than either of those other two!

I don't think Brook vs Khan is as big a fight as you thing.

No drama or intrigue...the outcomes is clear.

That's not the case with Spence.

Good fight please make it happen!!!

Brook is a very tough welterweight to beat.....he traded evenly with golovkin over 4 rounds and never got dropped one time...showed poise and impeccable timing against the most feared middleweight in the world who regulary drops light heavyweights in sparring ......let spence come to the uk and get knocked out......brook is not worried about spence 😳

Britain putting Brook vs Spence is a tribute to good boxing style

Hail to the Brits for putting on a mega fight worth watching with two top contenders in a great fight. Kell Brook risked it all vs GGG
and still showed guts. Spence is in for a tough scrap in the UK. Just a great fight between two warriors leaving Khan to wipe his rear end again off the missed opportunity and failed career.

Fantastic news. Forget Khan. Dude is all talk.

[Nightfall]

Khan will say Brook ducked him as soon as the Spence fight is signed

[daggum]

why doesn't khan fight spence in the interim since brook is recovering. winner gets a shot at brook. i mean spence gets a shot at brook. khan goes on to say he won 1 round before he was ko'd. give me anotehr shot.

No Khan is good news, Brook/Spence is a better fight than Brook/Khan.
