Comments Thread For: Brook: No Issues With Weight, Close To 147 For Spence Defense

[Madison Boxing]

Me and Bigdramashow NEVER AGREE, but he's 100% right here. He's hype until he proves otherwise.

No different from Canelo after the Floyd fight or Floyd leading up to Corrales or Rigo against Donaire or Ward against Kessler or Crawford against Gamboa/Postol. These guys backed it up. Let's see if Spence can bc Brook is not a pushover

yep, will give him full credit if he beats brook. people think im anti american or some bull**** but i was questioning joshua pre wlad and hated the hype about him, but then he proved himself and full credit from me. despite peoples premature proclamations of greatness with spence, you can NEVER be sure how someones going to do when they step up to world level. because weaknesses people didnt know even existed can be found and exposed. who knows if spence can even hold a shot?

Hype is hype. Porter was being hyped as the mini Mike Tyson aha, and Kell schooled that kid.

No different than this fight, Spence is being hyped through the roof, and Kell will shut him down just as he did Porter. Then you'll all jump on the next hypejob.

Kell did anything but school Porter and could easily have lost that fight on the scorecards.

Porter was busier, was coming forward, and landed more powershots.

If Kell shows up like that against Errol, it will be a very painful night for Kell.

Look, a completely healthy Brook had all he could handle with Shawn Porter.

I like Shawn, but the eye test says Spence might be on another level.

It just doesn't look all that good for Kell, if lasting a few rounds with a slower middleweight is what he is hanging his hat on.

Different styles though.

Porter's style will give anyone a difficult night. Porter is beatable like we've seen but he will make it ugly and it's almost impossible to look spectacular against Porter.

Spence could overall be a better fighter than Porter, but you will get more room to work when fighting Spence.

he's 151 today. Seems to be making it well.-

What weight issue? @SpecialKBrook WILL make the 147lb limit on Friday! @IngleGym @gregmarriott18 @MatchroomBoxing @BBCSport #BrookSpence pic.twitter.com/6FYktw5Xat

Spence won't make it ugly; he will be surgically precise in how he breaks Brook down.

Errol does everything better than Shawn except use his head to charge in.

Errol is faster, is a much better counterpuncher, and hits a lot harder.

This will look a lot worse than the Golovkin fight for Kell.

Isn't 10 stone, 8 pounds equal to 148?

remember those days when brook was "really a MW...i doubt he will ever fight at welter again after this"?

What the Brook fans aren't getting is that the difference in power between Lil g and Spence is nowhere near the difference in speed between Lil g and Spence.

That is going to be a huge and unpleasant surprise to Kell once he starts getting thumped.

yes of course it is.

my mistake. damn 148.

don't think many people said that. he did look fantastic on the scales though.

He's a LMW
