    Brook looks more fluid and athletic and light on his feet while Spence Jr STANDS on his Punches so you hear way more POP in Spence Jr Pad Work

    Both looks sharp though!

    We find out next week who is better in that RING!

      this shows exactly what you would expect. Spence a pressure fighter with heavy hands is naturally going to be slower but better punching technique than the Brooke who's quick and throws flurries

        Pad work doesn't mean anything to me.. that being said Brook looks better on the pads.

          But he clearly does not have better punching technique by any stretch of the imagination.

            Didn't really need to see them on pads.

            Brook is more fluid, has better punch delivery and variety, has better hand speed, better footwork, better timing and is generally sharper.

              Brook looks better, obviously more seasoned

              Spence is still growing and learning

              They have different techniques, Spence inside game could make all the difference

              This is a huge test for Spence, probably too early, but he may rise to the occasion like Jousha did against Wlad

              Brook looks healthy, but we'll see how he looks on the scales

              Hope this turns out to be a classic

                I agree Brook has better overall skills. I just think Spence having more power, a better inside game, and great body work could be the difference maker why I'm leaning towards him. Styles make fights and I'm leaning slightly towards spence as I said. May the best man win I say I'm cheering for Spence and win or lose I'll still respect the guy, but I won't downplay the win for Brook with a "he's too green" claim. To me whoever wins they get the full credit because it's two of the best at 147 going at it.

                  I preferred spence's work here. I didnt watch the entire 10 minutes (about 4) but spence looks more secure and strong (if not a little tight, but they'll likely work on peaking his speed for fight night) while brook looked a little too loose and his punches more to be fast butvwithout the weight behind them. Plus spence was working for the large majority of the 4 minutes I saw so it looks like they are preparing really well and training to be busy. Spence's trainer was also moving around more to simulate more accurately and making spence be actively aware of punches coming back. These videos just put me leaning towards a spence victory due to a seemingly better corner.

                  Got a longer vid of brook?
