Once Spence starts landing on that eye it will start to swell up badly and it will be a matter of time. The eye looks puffy already from sparring and maybe lack of sleep due to weight cutting.

May the best man win.

Totally agree with ya...

As Mills Lane famously said so many times, "Let's get it on!"
Counting the hours to this one and I'll be watching the LiveTV option on the Showtime Anytime app. Good luck to both men!

Just saw an interview with Spence where he said he's having a hard time making the weight. He also said he's a grown man & 147 is not his natural weight so it's hard for him because he walks around in the 170s. (Same as triple G..)

I find it funny that people don't critique him on that but bashed canelo to no end for the same thing.

I think Spence and brook are both weight bullying at 147. The difference is win or lose I think brook will move up. Spence seems like he plans on staying at 147.

Why the double standard though?

We need to go back to the days of same day weigh ins. Fight at your natural weight or don't fight at all. If everyone fought at their natural weight everyone would be on an even playing field

If either Brook or Spence won a SWW title at a catchweight then refused to defend it at 154 because "I'm not a SWW doe" they would get the same criticism Canelo got.

Brook has stated, as spence has, that he wants thurman next.

even if he loses, it seems amir khan has come around on that fight, so i don't see either guy moving up after this fight...win or lose.

A weight bully is somebody who defends their title fighting opposition from lower weight classes. If Brook was defending his title against at lightweight fighter that would be weight bullying. Spence and Brook have never failed to make 147 so they are legit welterweights.

Okay so what does one call somebody who squeezes down to the lowest weight possible with out missing weight and then fight in a division that they naturally weight 20-30lbs heavier than? Canelo was too big to be fighting at 154-155. Everyone criticised him for it including myself. I'm just wondering why some fighters get a pass while others don't.
