brook was tested and he FAILED that test? Why does he not give GGG credit for stopping him? instead he says he knocked some of the stuffing out of ggg 😂. No GGG knocked the stuffing out of your eye lol. Bottom line is he is truly unproven just as much as Spence. 13 years pro and he finally mentions kieth Thurmans name? lol. Brook is a protected fighter and his resume shows just that! His one notable win is against a smaller guy in Shawn Porter who he HELD for 12 rounds BARELY beating. Spence isn't Shawn porter or ggg...He will be stopped mark my words.Comment

I really hope the bookies make Brook the odds on favourite, because after hearing what Jermall charlo had to say, am definitely putting my money on Spence now. I wasn't really that convinced by fighter like Mayweather, broner and Bradley when they spoke about Spence, but to hear the deep conversation/insight that charlo had on Spence? He definitely made my mind up... hope he is wrong though.Comment

You're going to continue to be disappointed in life if you think you can order people to have X opinion of how a fight will go. I have about a 2/3 to 3/4 success rate on predicting fights. Not great, but not bad. And I, like many fans, have fighters I admire for their talents. When/if I decide to add Spence to that list, I will. Your bossing people around b.s. doesn't even remotely enter into the equation.Comment

On YouTube, Ellie interviewed one of the Charlie brothers... not sure which one is which, and the way he and a trainer in that gym spoke about Spence just made me decide to go with Spence, was on 50-50 before the fight deal, then lean towards Brook after the fight was signed.Comment

First and foremost, stay focused, I never hated on Spence, I happen to like him. Second, I was simply clarifying the statement that El Gringo made. But with that said, on thing that is really annoying is everyone talking about the time it took for brook to get here. WHO THE HELL CARES?!?! Anyone that knows boxing knows that depending on how a fighter is promoted, and how they progress dictates how long it takes to get there. But what really matters is that they get there period. Spence is a blue chip prospect, with a giant machine behind him. He has skills, Brook....definitely has a set of skills, but lacks the promotional power. I mean he beats Porter, and then can's secure a big fight to save his life. Then makes a risky move by taking GGG on, just to bring light to his career. It is what it is....but hating is trying to make a case that one is better than another just because one gets a title shot faster then another. I see a pick-em fight, with a the tape being skill against experience.
Truth is, if you add kelly's opponent's records throughout his career, it's a losing one, and it's not even close.
He's been a pro for 13 damn years, and his biggest win was over 2 years ago. His most notable fight, which was last year, was a fight he got stopped in the 5th round.
So let me get this straight: Errol Spence gets hated on, and he's taking on a top 3 fighter at his weight who also happens to be a champion, and he's doing it in only his 4th year...meanwhile, it took kell brook 10 1/2 years into a 13 year career to accomplish that same feat...and another 2 years after that to fight someone else noteworthy.
But Spence is overhyped?
Brooks has just as much to prove in this fight as Errol does, because what he's selling, I'm not buying.Comment
