    Comments Thread For: Errol Spence Jr.'s Moment Of Truth

    By Andreas Hale - Ever since he made his professional debut in 2012 after failing to medal at the London Olympic games, expectations have been sky high for "The Truth." Actually, scratch that. The day that Errol Spence became a big deal was when he allegedly dropped Adrien Broner during a sparring session in 2014. It was the dirty little secret that Broner didn't want to get out there. However, it eventually did and the legend of Errol Spence was born.

    Good article, but you're going to have to explain to me how you see Kell Brook as a stepping stone fight to Shawn Porter, let alone Garcia. Thurman, maybe, although I think he's a loss waiting to happen in the same way Garcia was.

    I realise this fight is all about Spence to you lot over there, and Brook is just another fighter and the guy standing between him and his destiny, but you lot really don't rate Kell Brook at all, do you?

    Every article I've read heavily hypes every aspect of Spence's skills, yet the best we can hope for is a 'he did ok against GGG for a few rounds' in favour of Kell. No analysis of what he might bring to the fight, his skill, strengths, experience.

    Kell has been overlooked by everyone since this fight has been made and this article is no exception.

    As a Brook fan I really hope Spence has been 'looking forward' to fights with Thurman, Pacquiao, Khan, Porter, Garcia etc as much as the rest of you.

        none of them rated him before porter fight, 21 of 21 american 'experts' picked porter to win. they havent realised yet that brook is an elite welterweight, based on what i see i have brook and thurman on the same level as the two top dogs, hes no stepping stone thats for sure.

            This is the same dude who said Brook would beat the top fighters at 154 leading up to the GGG fight. This guy mainly covers wrestling. He DKSAB

                I'm not 'over there' or American, but I'm aligned with Brook just being a slightly higher stepping stone for Spence on the way to the rest.

                I'm old (and cranky), and this reminds me of Minter/Hagler (not the boxers, but the lead-up to the fight). Minter was being hyped in the UK press and lots in the UK gave him a shot, meantime I was telling my buddies 'have you seen this Hagler guy fight ? Minter's going to get slaughtered'.

                I rate Brook higher than Minter, the gap between Spence and Brook isn't as wide as I thought Hagler-Minter was, but Brook will be shown up for what he is, a very good and skilled boxer with a great heart, who just happened to run into someone special today.

                (edit: and no, I didn't rate Lacy at all. And when Kell points to the weight drain later, it won't be an 'excuse', he'll be rightly identifying what weakened him)

                edit 2: back to the article, few 'wonder aloud' how Spence would do with Khan, unless its what round Khan would get Caneloed.

                    It's a great fight. We're going to learn a lot about the real level of both fighters.
