"He’s not gonna take a backwards step and I’m not. So the fans are in for a fantastic night.”

Spence by KO early it is then...

Lol, Brook says he's not taking a step backwards?? No wonder he's also predicting himself getting knocked down.

Lol, Spence showing his lack of experience by actually taking Brook's word for it. If I was him I'd be prepared for anything, including Brook backpedalling for the entirety of the fight.

On the other hand I don't think it's neccessarily a bad idea for Brook to come forward. Yes we've seen Spence knock people down while on the back foot but we know he's better coming forward than backwards. Perhaps if Brook can push Spence backwards while avoiding the counter right hook and straight left he can give Spence a lot of problems, at least for 2 or 3 rounds (those can be the difference).

But I dunno man Spence seems to have a lot of dimensions in his game, probably even moreso now that he training with Jermell Charlo almost on a daily basis.

Well won't take a step backwards but he will hold to death like he did to Porter

Nah don't worry, that shieeet only gonna work for the first 4 or 5 rounds, Brook will be too tired to clinch properly after that.

Same thing happened to Kovalev, he was clinching Ward to death in the first half of the fight, but all that time Ward was wrestling back and landing em monster body shots on the inside, and Kovalev was so tired in the second half of the fight that he couldn't even clinch properly any more, and started eating more and more body shots, stiff jabs, and left hooks.

Spence is that kind of stamina freak, and his body killing fighting style is far more effective than Ward's. Brook won't be able to keep it up for twelve rounds, and unlike Porter, Spence doesn't snuff out his own work on the inside.

So don't you worry about the clinch, Spence will take care of that side of business.

Brook by UD, would not be shocked if one or both taste the canvas

LOL, now Porter is my boy. You are a fan boy. So how many warnings there were for punches on the back of the head.

Oh, right, so I'm a fan boy because I don't agree with you? Zero warnings were given. That's the point. That's why Brook took matters into his own hands, nullifying the shady tactics of "your boy".

Anything can happen in a prize fight. This match up has all the makings of a great fight and the one sure winner should be the fans. This fight really is a toss up and that's what makes this a very antisipated fight. Two fighters at the top of their game facing each other which is a rarity these days. Lets just hope whoever wins it's not left up to the judges

Not because you agree with me, is that you get so worked up because I don't agree with you. Saying that Porter is my boy when all I said was that Tell held way too much and that fight and you come out with some lame excuse that only you saw.

I thought Kell won clearly a close decision in that fight BUT HE DID HELD A LOT IN THAT FIGHT

Not worked up in the least. Stating the obvious, that Porter is "your boy" because you repeat the same stuff Kenny says without engaging your brain and asking why that is.

It's very evident watching the fight that Porter was trying roughhouse tactics to bully Kell. The ref didn't do anything so Brook simply negated Porter's technique.
