[Floyd is TBE]

Spence wears Brook down with body shots, stops him in the mid rounds. Easy work

I've been saying Brook by KO in the mid rounds because I think it's a bit too early for Spence, but I'm wavering...

[Beercules]

I voted too close to call. I am rooting for Spence though.

[NaijaD]

It's almost too close to call but I'm ultimately going with Spence by decision, I think Brook is tough as hell and will not be stopped barring the eye being a factor.

I think Brook starts fast but Spence endures the early onslaught and slows Brook down with bodywork to take most of the late rounds en route to a hard fought and competitive decision victory.

[The Time]

I'm on the fence with this one. It's almost like Triple G vs. Canelo.

There are a lot of intangibles and questions. How is Brook's eye going to hold up? Is the weight loss from going up to 160 and back down going to be a factor for Brook?

This is Errol Spence's best opponent since fighting Algieri, how is he going to do? Can Spence take a flush shot on the chin?

Can Brook make it to the 12th round, if he does the chances are pretty good he will win by decision.

How will Spence deal with his first big fight and world title fight?

Hard to know exactly what's going to happen.

Therefore I have no prediction.

What I will say is, May the best man win!

[bojangles1987]

That's a fairly even poll.

I always lean towards experience. What can I say, I'm predictable and expect the more proven guys to win. Brook by decision. I do think Spence is a bit stiff and Brook will take advantage. Spence needs to move his head better than he has so far.
