Comments Thread For: Kell Brook vs. Errol Spence Eyed For Bramall Lane in Sheffield

[NaijaD]

Have you seen the thread title?

Spence's date with destiny is coming. Wonder what you'll say the day after he's been flattened in 4 rounds.

"I was never that high on Spence" - That's my bet.

I'll admit this, if the fight is one sided then it points to a Brook victory. Because of the way Spence fights he will have to work hard to get in the positions he needs to be in to do maximum damage. He's not just going to walk up to Brook and attack the body without fear for return fire.

I could easily see a scenario where Spence can't get on the inside and he can't deal with Brooks power, if that plays out then he's getting dropped and he won't make it back up.

Brook isn't that hard to reach


I don't know what fights you've been watching...

If Carson Jones and Shenchenko can catch him....So can Spence.

I've watched a lot of fights of both guys.... Spence has not shown he can box on the outside with someone at Brooks level as of yet. Watching both guys I would say Brook has the advantage if things stay at a distance.

I'm willing to bet he will not be able to withstand the punishment that Jones took to get inside, you say it like he just walked up to Brook to put the pressure on him. I should be asking you if you actually watch the fights.

Why do you keep mentioning Senchenko? .... yeah he rocked Brook but Lartey rocked Spence, both guys still won the fights.

You just spout the same recycled nonsense without ever giving an intelligent breakdown.

name the mistakes or u're just blowing about.

Squaring up, dropping his left hand when he throws a jab, moving back in straight lines, leaving his chin exposed too often, rushing inside instead of working in there - I could go on.

u sound knowledgeable so i gave some of his highlights a look...i've watched him, think he's awesome, but i dont blow his horn or study him..im more into studying guys who dont get hype like rances barthelemy and more.

of course highlights dont tell it all, but trust me i've been right off highlights alone when i came to gauging technique...he knocked algerie down in the forth with a huge **** and while throwing that sot he had his right hand glued to his chin.

if u hurt in a defensive high guard yes he steps with his left read to lauch instead of to his face..by your posture he doesnt fear u hurting him..

later he knocked him 5 yards back with a straight left and brought that punch right back to his chin....

im not sure how much more i need to watch but so far your claims are looking low...

Brook really isn't a master of fighting at a distance.

Not only does Spence have a good night's sleep in BOTH hands....he is murderous with his body punches.

Carson Jones doesn't have Spence's arsenal.

I'd rather tell people I was rocked by Lartey than by a guy that was stopped by Paulie Malinaggi.

....and Spence wasn't nearly as hurt as Brook.

Kelly "Especial K" Brooks vs Errol "The Thruth" Spence Jr is a winnable fight for both fighters.

This is boxing though. You have to look at the intangibles. It's obvious Kelly Brooks struggled to make the 147 mark in his last fights before fighting GGG. It's also pretty clear that Kelly took a vicious beating in his last fight. You add these two facts up and the results might end in disaster. Having a fighter that just got brutally stopped drain himself to make weight just doesn't sound like the brightest idea. If i was Eddie Hearn i would put Kelly in with a soft touch in the booty first before anything else, at 154. Health is no joke.

At the same time, while Errol has proven to be a pretty though cookie in his young carreer he has yet to fight a guy as skilled as Kelly Brooks. Kelly and his team know they can pretty well pull of the W. Just like they did with Porter but this time it's a little different, Kelly's in a different stage in his carreer. I would def like to see this competitive fight take place but i would not like to see anyone put their well being at sake for entertainment. This is a 50/50 fight. Errol has youth and health in his side. Kelly has the experience and size edge. Both guys pack a really heavy punch.

They are both 5'9....Spence punches WAY harder than Brook.

That's sounds more like Kell than Spence...

You don't know ****....best stick to Cricket.

ok i watched more vs bundu...no i'll admit he's fresh and most mistakes dont happen then..they come when u are tired..we'll see if he ever gets tired or stays in the ring long enough to be tired..

but i must say u are off by a long shot..this kid throws every punch and brings it back or rolls a shoulder while he takes away a body shot counter...i disagree with the chin in the air claims as well

going back in straight lines..ok sometimes...hands up when he does that? yes..he made the mistake once vs bundu dropping his hands while going bakc and got jabbed...he tightened it up right away..


this kid is not like carl frampton who just fights off ability and continually drops his hands and leaves his chin up ..his technique is superb
