Comments Thread For: Errol Spence: Jermell Charlo Provided Perfect Sparring for Brook

[Bronx2245]

he has been saying he will go to 147 for thurman so i take him at his word that he will fight broner around 140 anyday,.... Mikey is not small and he has power in both hands.... Yeah the Flannagan fight is too easy for all champions at 135! What about Mikey vs Easter jr?

If Easter gets a KO of Shafikov, then I say "it's a go!" If Easter barely wins, then it's not worth it for Mikey. Loma and Linares will put azzes in seats! Easter is not there yet! Easter has to be spectacular, and hopefully in front of many, many, eyes! I'm very worried for Easter Jr. because I don't know if Broner knows what he's doing!

Off topic, but was the Porter-Berto and Charlo-Hatley doubleheader a sold-out at Barclays Center or nah?

The only problem for Spence is we don't know how well he takes punishment. We have a pretty good idea Brooks chin is ok. Was the wobble against Larte just one of those things? I got a feeling there's a flaw there. But this is how we find out, because Brook is nothing if not accurate.

Lartey caught him with a desperation shot when he was green and still applying pressure when the fight was won.. If this were 3 fights ago, I would sleight him but he has had 12 fights since then and stepped up the competition each time.. Carson Jones wobbled Brook but does that mean his chin is weak or he can't take a punch? No.. It happens in boxing and it's how you handle it afterwards that matters..

They see American fighters as so good...they make a big deal even when they get hit.

They admit we are the best without even knowing it.

Brook's chin is trash.

He was put on Elvis legs by nothing-ass Carson Jones and Shenchenko

He had a wobble against Shevchenko, but Golovkin hit him plenty and he stood up well. Course, a keyboard warriors who refers to tough guys like Carson Jones as "nothing ass" and thinks a chin that handles five rounds against Golovkin is "trash" has higher standards hey? If Spence can't dent him will you accept he's is a "nothing ass?"

I think it's a support of their countrymen in the sport.. The US has too many boxers to just go for our countrymen.. The US produces so many boxers and the level competition is great even at the amateur level.. I could care less what country a boxer is from.. I just support who I like.. They will learn about Spence sooner than later tho #ManDown #StrapSeason #AndTheNEW

I just said that. Brook went on to prove that he's wobble was just one of those things. But Spence hasn't fought anyone who can hit so he's an unknown quantity. And this is gonna be a good way to find out.

Where exactly did we learn that Brook can take a shot? Coz he didn't even finish five rounds against GGG and which puncher has he fought at welterweight?

He took alot of shots against GGG. Nobody chinny could've took them or lasted so long. Porter is also a solid puncher, as he proved against normally durable fighters. But we don't know that about Errol yet.

I'd rather tell people I was wobbled by Lartey than by a guy destroyed by Malinaggi .

Interesting leaps in logic there. Brook easily beat a guy that destroyed Paulie, who destroyed the guy who wobbled Brook. Meaningless really. You could tell anyone what you like about Larte. Most people never heard of him. But the fact is it was the end of the round, and Spences wobble was obvious. Like the fact that you don't know if he's about to show a Khan like chin in with the first guy who's really gonna hit him.

Not a big deal. Just pointing out a possible indicator of a wobbly chin. Like the way you said "we" there. The guy who calls fighters "nothing ass" when it suits him. 🤔
