    Yea 4real, still got the ticket. Describes it as one of the best and worst boxing experiences during that time.

    Racism in the UK then was as it is in the States now - Palpable. Hagler humiliated Minter [who thoroughly deserved it] and it boiled over. A stain on British sport.

      Fantastic fight. I got Spence, I think he is going to be too much to handle, and despite the respect and honor in Brook's loss to GGG- I think its going to stick with him a bit mentally.

        Mentally i really want to see how Brook does, he might NOT be laid out cold in the GGG fight but he was damaged IMO.

        His ego was hurt when you look at his facial expressions, he was taking those shots, trying to use a poker face but if you have ever box you can see he was hurting like hell and wanted out of there.

        He was getting hit to the body and trying to cover up, GGG was going in for the kill and his corner rightly save his career IMO, thats why i was upset when he was talking rubbish to his corner for stopping the fight, but then i realise he had to act macho to make it look like he wanted to continue.

        Spence would dig to that body for sure but i want to see how Brook response to the attention, like many have said this is a 50-50 fight. If this fight gets made then boxing fans are the winner.

          Kell didn't take that bad of a beating from GGG.

          Steve Forbes broke Oscar's orbital bone and he can't bust a g****.

            I agree- Brook took real damage in the GGG fight. Busting an orbital is a pretty big deal any way that you look at it.

            If they do fight and Brook's face starts to puff up- then the writing will be on the wall. GGG may have literally softened Brook up, it could potentially be like Cotto vs. Margarito II (after Pacquiao had already broken Margarito's face).

            Hope they can pull this fight off- it's a great match and a huge opportunity for Spence.

              Terrence Crawford versus Ricky Burns for those who care to remember too.

                  This kid Spence has the right mind set for a young up and coming fighter.
                  He doesn't mind traveling he has no fear of losing a bout and he wants all the belts.
                  He looks like he can hold 147 for now and could go to 154 and lose none of his skills.
                  He can box, he can fight, he's a southpaw and he appears to be a tough SOB!
                  We'll see what happens when he he's under pressure but for now he is a good looking fighter.

                    Yeah and i'm curious as to what there responce would have been to spence moving up and facing golovkin and getting koed inside 5 rounds...thought so lol.
                    You kind of get the idea why donald trump got voted in.....yanks are the result of many years of interbreeding I'm affraid to say and it shows in this forum

                      Brook doesn't fight like Algieri. He's also not small like Bundu. So we'll soon see what Spence is all about.
