I like Brook but going with Spence on this one. Jo Jo Dan, Frankie Gavin and Kevin Bizier ugh!!!!

[KING5TWENTY]

This fight is a lot for Spence given the experience gap, style matchup, and size. Tough for your.1rst world title shot.

Good stuff

[AllBoxingAD]

Best fight to look forward to this year.

Happy to hear that its gonna be a financial hit for the people involved.

Good fights in front of good crowds is what the sport needs.

This will bring PPV back, because this will be Jr's coming out party, and the brits care more about boxing than the other "things" americans concern themselves about. Then you will get khan vs brook......Jr vs Thurman, Jr vs Garcia....Jr vs Crawford while the others fight and sort this all out for everyone
but Spence is that guy

I like Kell a lot but every time I hear Eddie Hearn making the pre-fight excuse about Brook not fighting at 147 the more I know Spence is going to win..I've got those bets posted if any Brook fans want action.

UK, Canada, Russia got love for all their fighters. Brook would've been just another disliked black fighter in the US. Idk why all black fighters just don't base themselves in Europe or Canada. This isn't anything new either, and it's not limited to only boxing. Seems like people in those parts of the world appreciate fighters based on how good they are not how close their skin color is to theirs.

When Kell Brook, Lennox Lewis, Chris Eubank, Nigel Benn are called "British" fighters and not "African British" fighters, that's how you know everyone is seen as equal over there.

And of course Lennox could have been called African Canadian Jamaican British.

Good post, you've got a point.

Soccer and Boxing is all they have in the UK. There isn't much room for black star athletes of a sport that is on its deathbed in terms of popularity. Think before you pull out the race-card.

Errol "The Truth" Spence Jr. wins late TKO.

He gets taken the distance by Kell Brook via "excessive" clinching, loses a SD.
