Comments Thread For: Spence's Coach: We Have To Beat Brook Up, Round After Round

I don't know how to bet and know I don't have that many points but I will bet all my points on Spence.

It proved that he gets frustrated with boxers, but is strong enough most of the times to bulldoze his way through opponents - Not Jacobs though, who was able to keep him at bay. Golovkin could be speaking the truth when it comes to Brook, but since Brook moved up 2 division almost, you would imagine that a real hardhitter like GGG would have KO'd him a lot quicker, since he landed some hard right hands. Brook can take a punch and he can box. Spence is there to prove the insider hype right, though Brook I feel, has already proven himself real good.

I wasn't surprised Brook lasted almost 5 rounds considering he was the #1 ww. Kell is a good sized ww, who, aside from the Jones fight, had never been in trouble, let alone stopped.
I agree that this fight comes down to how good is Spence. He's looked great but this is the big stage against a top ww in his prime. We'll know soon enough if Spence is the real deal or if this is too much, too soon.

It's how he reacted to the shot thats the problem. In a fight like this with an opponent as dangerous as KB you can't be taking a round and a half to recover when a big shot gets landed, and one will land because Brook is too accurate for one not to.

Chins can be improved with weight gain and neck exercises. One punch in one fight will never define a fighters ability to take a punch.

He was in trouble in the Shenchenko fight too.

Forgot about that. Brook got shook by a right hand just before the ko.
