    Brook handled Porter a lot easier than Thurman did, that's for sure.

      Yeah, it's funny to watch the backers of both Spence and Brook be so absolutely dead sure their man will win. I think Spence will win but it's a close fight between two of the world's best welterweights. As with all fights nobody knows who the winner will be until he wins. We are all just guessing.I didn't bet a dime on it because I am not that sure about Spence winning the fight.

        You know, there are some fights that you just kind of know the output. Like I knew Thurman would get the victory in a close fight against Garcia, simply a case of who is more marketable. Other times I like AJ vs. WK I was completely sure that AJ would blow WK out of the ring. Honestly I saw AJ as out, for like 3 rounds. WK gained my fandom.

        I agree, it's great to listen to people on here, the passion is high and people are really starting to wake up to this awesome fight.

          It's a great fight.

          I'd be surprised if Spence blew him out. Then we have Groves gunning for a world title again.

          I never get posts like this that basically tell people not to be excited about a big boxing match when by and large our standard boxing fodder of recent years (both sides of the atlantic) is a heavily favoured prospect smashing a goat herder into dust. There is a post like this every big fight. DC posts or dry cunt posts.

          Brook very good. Spence is very good. It'll be very good.

            ... but if it gets to a "draw" on the scorecards, you'll see that it will not "very good"...

                American's do that way more.

                  Brook is, IMO, the best fighter Britain has.

                  I've said the same since I joined this forum, I've always viewed him as that guy.
