Comments Thread For: Spence: It's Time to Shut Up, Glove Up & Go to War With Brook

[A.K]

Kids confident but it's borderline arrogance . He's in for a rude Awakening tomorrow. Saying he's going for the knockout? Good luck. If GGG couldn't floor him I don't see Spence doing it either. Plus it's in England

Ggg was half a round away from flooring him in the 5th.. and ggg didn't attack the body at all that fight, Spence is the best body puncher in the sport..

Yep. The time for talking is over. Whatever is left to be said can be said in the ring

Ohhh my! Arrogance in a combat sport...what a novelty. Lol. This is a sport fueled off of hubris.

Yes I get that but usually a guy with that much confidence talking that much usually has a resume consisting of bigger names other Than Chris Algieri

If I'm wrong I'm wrong, best of luck to him it's just my personal opinion that Brook should edge him.
I agree though that corner stopped it before Golovkin was able to do serious harm

Very calm and respectful guy, we have seen a lot of "Brash" American come over here and talking a lot, this guy has been the opposite.

Spence WILL get Brook out of there in WORST fashion than GGG, and I can't wait!

I guess well have to wait and see. I'm picking Brook by UD

Lol he does have a stoned expression but look he's extremely confident and pumped I get that. But right after Brook accepted the fight and people were praising Brook Spence was quick to say, "don't praise him he barely took the fight and didn't really want it". And in the weeks leading up he's gotten more vocal and seems like he's overlooking Brook and talking about Thurman. I just think this is gonna be a damn good fight but if it's close I don't see Spence winning

Vocal as in had to conduct more pre-fight interviews where he is expected to answer questions, actually sell the fight, and demonstrate some personality?

Look like I said that's my own personal take is that he didn't want to give Brook any credit for taking the fight at the beginning. May the best fighter win though and if it's Spence then more power to him.

The trainers of Brook and Spence Jr. love to talks about former champions' fights to make a point about the outcome of Spence/Brook.. so I will do too...
1980 in England a future ATG from the U.S; Marvin Marvelous Hagler; was crowned middleweight world champion by beating and dethroning (the local) world champion Alan Minter
Saturday night in England a future ATG from the U.S; "The Truth" Errol Spence Jr.; will be crowned welterweight world champion by beating and dethroning (the local) world champion Kell Brook
