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

[123tommy]

Just posted a Spence over Brook bet if anyone wants in..I really like Brook..It's just business

[Kigali]

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

That dude 'Laced-up' don't know what he's talking about.

He best stick to Cricket..that's all his kind can handle.

It's about time this fight is gonna happen.

Can't wait for all those people who cried, demanded & whined for Spence's shot at a title, how he could destroy everyone in the 147 division, to go quiet once Brook whoops him.

Isn't Bramall Lane a stadium? Kell can fill a stadium with Spence? How many people does it hold?

Seems like you latinos are always pulling against the American fighter.

Why is that???

Several reasons why I don't like this fight for Brook, and this is coming from a point of view of a fan who likes both fighters:

Bulking up from 147 to 160 then back down to 147 is not a wise idea and it wasn't even a wise idea for the fighter of the decade himself, Roy Jones Jr, vs someone who was seen as someone he should've beaten. Spence isn't exactly someone Brook SHOULD beat, it's actually a very dangerous fight and more risky for Brook.

Another reason why I don't like this fight is that unlike Roy, Brook didn't bulk up and won, he bulked up and got stopped. The least his promoter could do is get him a comeback fight at somewhere between 147-154 but I guess it makes too much sense and maybe Brook had a say in who he wants to fight and he chose to go straight in and defend his title against Spence to not lose the title.

What I like about this fight: God damn Brook fights anyone. I don't want to ever see people get amnesia and forget Brook just fought Porter, Golovkin and Spence in the last 2.5 years.

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.

I'm not so sure Brook has an advantage on the outside. Spence is long and has shown a legitimate jab to the body. I see it as more of a tie on the outside.

Brooks experience and big size at welter will only be a factor IF he can get his weight down properly .....not an excuse a fact.

Spence even though relatively untested does look good and I hope he is.He does things that do look a little inexperienced but this is his acid test and we'll find out if he is who we hope he is.

Brook for his part could have done with a warm up after GGG. but people are bored with his inactivity even through his bad luck so he needs to get back in the fold.

If Spence losers in a good fight where he's not too badly damaged he's young and could come again ....for Brook it would probably be at 154lbs against tricky solid less named bigger fighters for less money than 147lbs and he might run out of desire .So this is a massive fight for them both and cracker for us.

Garcia v Thurman...
Brook v Spence ........It's taylor made for the winners to unify
at last the welters are primed to prove why this division has always been among the elite .
