    I guess some just like to piss and moan.
    I am extremely happy the fight is made. Still doesn't change the facts. Seems people don't like hearing the truth these days. I'm not even a spence fan, but i'm not blind to the truth. Brook's title reign is one big dissappointment up til this point

      Why were people complaining about the date anyway?

      There is absolutely zero reason why Spence hasn't fought again. Calum Smith has been mandatory for the WBC at 168 for 18 months he's been active albeit against some mediocre opposition.

      But yeah Spence is right of course Brook and Hearn exhausted other options. From Brook and Hearns perspective he was the worst option in the smallest fight for the least money albeit for the real fans this is the best fight.

      Hearn is basically going to have to promote Errol Spence too and tell the British public how good he is if he is going to actually make money on this fight. Of course he was seeing stadium fights. Not the Sheffield Arena against a dangerous, dangerous mandatory.

          Spence is the biggest beast in the 147 division.

          Remember that as he's lying on the sheffield canvas.

              He is right, Brook went from "Who is Spence" to "He's a killer"

              The truth is Brook has nowhere to run, he needs that IBF strap.

              He would have dropped it and done a runner from Spence, had Khan or Cotto or some other name offered him a fight.

              At 154 Brook would not have survived and there are no big fights for him

              Brook is banking on getting past Spence and securing the Khan fight for the IBF title towards the end of the year

              Brook and his fans are saying Spence is a hype job but then in the same breath they say Brook should get credit for beating Spence..and then on top of that they say Kell is brave for taking on Spence....bunch of mugs

                Like I said before Brook was backed into a corner. Glad the fight is made and we get to see what Spence is made of, would wait when both are in the same ring swinging.

                  I agree with you, people hate hearing the truth. Am more a Brook fan before some of these bandwagon jumpers, and the truth is his resume so far at 147 is a big disappointment. This is a start doe because Spence has some hype behind him currently.

                      Not the biggest beast, but Brook should get 100% full credit for beating him.

                      Spence passes the eye test, he's a little raw and rough around the edges, but he's taken out C-B level fighters with relative ease.

                      I think the people calling Spence a hypejob are a bit crazy.
