      I am sure Spence's handlers would prefer it didn't happen if he is going to be a superstar.
      I don't think they care one way or the other. They had no control over Brook doing that.

        No. After Spence beats him easily all of a sudden fans will finally realize Brook is Vargas level fighter with one solid win in ten years.

          Those excuses will be used by some fans. I expect Spence to win by KO and I think it would be a good win.

              Spence would get credit, but I just think a not cracked eye socket brook is better than the broken socket brook. It's not spence's fault but it would be better if there are no excuses be left out where they fight it out, uninjured going in, fighting in an even playing field.

                Brook took a fight he had no chance of winning because he would get paid hugely for it rather than fight any number of WW challengers (for less) for his title because in those fights he could lose his belt.

                If Spence wins, which is no guarantee, and the eye is the reason for the loss, that IMO is completely on Brook.

                  What I'm looking out for is that, if the fight ends with Spence, U.D's brook or knock him out due to shots that had nothing to do to the eyem or the socket is completely intact through out the fight. That would be great.

                    Whoever wins if they fight deserves credit but remember you're on a boxing, people will find a way to discredit anything if they really want.

                    At the end of the day though, this is one of the best fights that can be made in the division so if it happens then the winner deserves credit and the loser shouldn't be labelled a bum. The only way an asterisk could be placed on a Spence win would be if Brook's eye goes again and it was even or Brook was winning until that point, apart from that, no excuses can be made.

                    Same with the Garcia v Thurman fight, it's a very good fight and the loser won't become a bad fighter for losing.

                      I get this but frankly, you are buggin. If I know a dude's eye socket is bad, I'm touchin that eye all night.

                      You can bet your last dollar I would use the Floyd "accidental elbow follow through after the punch" or the Ali "backhand jab with hand open" whenever I could.
