    been watching some more of errol spence...

    and im not that impressed. Damn, where is the hype coming from? Kid doesnt move his head at all, and the jab is just flicked out, no weight behind it. If he paws that jab out against brook hes going to get a right hand landing back on his chin. Loops his shots pretty wide too, thats not a good idea against someone with the counter punching skills of brook.

    That old man bundu was managing to catch him at times but had absolutely zero power. Spence has that fragile look to him, brooks going to be a lot bigger than him and i can see him just manhandling the kid. More i think about it i think this could be pretty one sided and some of you have got a real shock in store #hypejobdown.

    If he loses they will say he was "too green".

      And when Brook goes down I expect to see your alt on here downplaying the win.

        I've been saying that as well, no head/ upperbody movement at all.

          Did you see the GGG fight? I didn't see much head movement from Brook either. It was pathetic how Brook stood right in front of GGG and just let him punch him in the face.

            I hear you and it's hard enough having to deal with Golovkin's jab but Brook still moves his head a lot more than Spence. Brook has a solid straight right hand that once he starts timing Spence with it, I can't imagine Spence taking that many.

                  Come on Larr this isn't A Few Good Men. You're not gonna get him to just blurt it out on the stand.

                    I'm watching some of his old fights - Barrera, Bundu - and he was getting touched up a surprising amount. But then he is a very aggressive fighter, and when you fight like that, you sacrifice defence. There are very few fighters like Duran who don't their compromise defence.

                    Spence fights at a very fast speed too but I really feel Brook will have him over-thinking and slowed down after a few chocolate brownie counters. Brook has GREAT timing and ring instincts and if he isn't killed by the weight, I expect him to win this fight. I can actually see Errol hitting the canvas at some point because he puts everything into his shots and is open for counters.

                    I think Kell's skills are just as good as Errol's (in fact, maybe better) and he has better experience and is a smarter fighter (right now). Spence is going to have to put him away to get the win, I think.
