Comments Thread For: Errol Spence Drops, Stops Kell Brook in Eleven To Win IBF Belt

[lolpz]

Errol started off playing right into kell brook's strengths. He was on the outside, was letting kell get into rhythm, and when kell gets into rhythm he runs the show pretty much. Even when Errol would come in kell would catch him.

Then Errol started to box from the outside from range where kell can't hit him, kell also started gassing around this point and that played into Spence's hand where he was able to come in and get shots off and get out and stay away from Kell's pace, range, and everything. Errol has enough power to be able to do this and break down the MUCH and i repeat MUCH stronger Brook. Jesus man brook looked like a BRICK wall in there he's soooooo strong it's ridiculous. Kell has good timing and throws really nice very straight shots that you can't get out of the way of so he was slipping some of those in on Spence stopping him in his tracks at times, but Spence reallly proved how gritty and tough he was he started walking through some of those shots and that demoralized Brook to the point where with his eye swelling (not the same eye from the GGG fight) he knows he's pretty much gassed and Spence is coming on plus I believe he was sort of paranoid about the eye getting worse he just quit.

He could've continued but he quit. Spence showed ability to adapt and showed a strong, stable, controlled pressure and attacks, as well as a great chin and stamina to be able to do that while taking some monsterous right hands that even the rugged Porter couldn't walk through. He will learn a lot from this fight and you guys will see him beat every other top welterweight quote me on that. He is the real deal and he will prove it.

Thurman would have his hands full with Spence. The thing about Spence is he will keep coming. Thurman's movement will help but how long can he take a relentless attack from Spence?

Amazing what PEDs can do. Not just thick *******.

MAN DOOWNNNN!!!!!!!!!! And testing for this fight. Hating ass f@ggoot the truth and future of boxing!! Add Crawford, the Charlo Brothers, Rigo to that mix you hating ass f@ggot. Floyd already beat your heroes. Pussie LMAO MAN DOWNNN

To all the haters out there....

A 5'7 Thurman will get stopped by Spence too. When will you all learn?

The only guy that has a chance at 147 is Crawford and I think he'll get stopped too.

Spence can just chill and wait for all those bodies from 140 -147 to come his way.

He just beat the only guy who was big/physical enough to have a chance.

first full spence fight i've seen, hes very good but i was expecting more. he is quite sloppy and wild with his hooks and cant really fight on the back foot. excellent body puncher though and proved he has a chin.

brook quit. simple as. the weight effected him no doubt, looked steamed 2nd half of the fight. the body punching also contributed to this but i think it was more the weight. no one human can drop from 160 lean to 147 and be the same

He quit because he couldn't see out of the eye Spence repeatedly tagged him in. Foh

On board with the 100% Spence's wagon, I don't see anyone @147 beating Spence.

Great performance, came back from tough first rounds and put on a performance, I love how that kid fights.

Great fight, Spence dug into his body early. Even when Brook was landing that right hand up stairs on Spence, it had no effect. Brook previous fight caused him eye problems, but clearly he was hurting in the body and head areas.

I'm kind of aligned with this. Spence lookedlike he didn't quite know how to manage Brook over the first 6, all 6 rounds were sloppy as hell and could have been scored either way imo, although Brook seemed to be the one controlling the fight more and Spence not seeming to know how to handle the tying up etc.

Then Brook visibly slowed in the 7th and his defence went awol, from then it was open target practice for Spence and Brook never really got a second wind, so just a case of Spence teeing off with clean shots.

What heart from Brook though...he had nothing left after the 8th but kept going even though Spence could smell blood and was landing more and more clean shots.

Overall, completely predictable that the weight beat Brook more than Spence did, and to be honest, a little disappointed in Spence- he didn't look as good as I thought he was. He couldn't work out Brook's throwing and falling in during the early rounds and how to get his feet right for clean counters.

I nagged on and on pre-fight that Brook was done at 147, and this proves it - if he can only go 6 rounds at the weight he's not going to beat anyone (except Khan). Good win for Spence, but he's got a lot to prove still after that performance.

Yeah Brook was really even with Spence in the first half and was actually stronger than him when they got close. I do agree that Spence looked disappointing and now Thurman and Pac-man won't be scared of him. I think Thurman beats him but he beats Pac because of how big Spence is.

Khan is garbage, don't put him in Brook in the same sentence. **** Khan, can't wait for him to be knocked out.

All props to Spence, he was the better man.

We need Fury back, all we have over here in the UK now is AJ!
