    I'm a Spence fan but he will lose to Brooks

    I hope I'm wrong but Brooks jab & straight right will be the key in beating Spence. Spence lack of head movement will be his downfall. I expect a great action fight with both men getting dropped at least once.


    Spence key to victory are "head movement", keep Brooks in the ropes , and work the body early.

    Brooks key to victory are a sturdy jab, straight right hand, and constant movement.

    I predict a 10/11 round TKO win for Brooks but hope Spence wins.

    It's a 50/50 fight. I've said that from the get go. Spence is currently my favorite fighter. That's why I didn't want to see him fight a bum while waiting on Brook and that's why I was so adamant on Brook taking the fight. I don't like to see my favorite fighter fighting bums. GGG fans wanted him to fight the guy N'dam beat instead of finalizing the Jacobs fight. I don't understand these fans who value quantity over quality

        People focus too much on Spence's lack of head movement and ignore the fact that he controls distance and, if you're close enough to hit him, you're close enough to get lit up by him. Algeri thought he could just walk up and tag him, then get back out. He learned that the fire coming back from Spence makes it a risky situation. For all his size, Brook is somewhat feather-fisted and I don't see him doing much to deter Spence's aggressive offense.

        I do agree that Brook's key is to keep moving and don't let him set his feet. Later movement and an active jab (Ali style) are his best bet. He could very well win on that alone and I don't think it's an easy fight for Errol. I think, even if he wins, it will be a learning experience.

          I feel bad for the loser. You already know people are going to have those "hypejob/fraud/overrated" threads in the chamber

            Do you think this is comparable to the Broner loss to Maidana if Brook beats Spence?

              No. Everybody knew Broner was undeserving of the hype.

                Brook has the experience to make the fight a tough one. Its a 50/50 fight

                  I like Spence.
                  Putting him in with Thurman, Porter, Trout, Lara, Berto, Garcia, or Alexander in the USA makes far more sense.
                  He should of been brought up with more of a learning curve process and he sure and hell shouldn't be going over seas.
