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

[mbase1235]

I picked Spence to murder Brook within 10 rounds, but I have to be honest. The eye and the Fatigue hurt Brook more than Spence did. If Brook went the 12 rounds he would have won easily... Spence has a lot of work to do. I think Thurman beats him

Nope, Brook (typo before) was behind on all 3 scorecards. There is no "if', Brook was worn down by body shots, and then couldn't protect from the head shots. Spence was starting to steam roll him.

Ever had an orbital blowout?? I have. When it first happens you blink like **** but it doesnt hurt much. More impacts force the optical nerve to get stuck between fragments of bone and you can't see a thing. Other fighters who fight through it don't have the trapped nerve. Believe it or not. I don't care. But Brook deserves credit

Yeah, but the GGG fight wasn't stopped because of a broken orbital bone like they keep saying. They thrown in the towel because he was taking a beating.

How do you even know he broke his orbital bone in this fight? This is not even the same eye. I'm not saying Brook doesn't deserve credit, and perhaps quitting was the smart thing to do, if he knew he was going to be knocked out.

It's just old hat. Fighters do this all the time. When they have had enough they look the ref to get them to stop it. He was hinting at the ref to stop, but when that didn't work he took a knee and even got up right at 9, for the excuse that the ref counted him out, but he meant to get up at the right time.

Many boxers do this ****. It's fine, he was taking a beating towards the end.

You fat ass couch Potatoes picking Thurman to walk through Spence remember this: Brooke whooped Porter and Porter almost beat Thurman. Spence DESTROYED Brook. Listen, go comment on ballet. You suck at boxing.

You make a valid point but styles make fights and the triangle theory doesn't really hold water in boxing.

Thurman can be hurt to the body and probably delivers the hardest right hand in the division. His up jab is nice, his ring IQ is on point, but the question that will remain to be seen is how Spence will reach once Thurman lands flush. Thurman is dangerous in rounds 1-4 and will need to mix up his attack with Spence being a tall rangy southpaw with a nice jab.

I don't want to sound like de la Hoya but this fight needs marinating. Let Crawford deal with indongo and pac, tune up fight at 147 and let spence unify with Thurman and then I agree. Winner is p4p no1

i feel you, it could use some marinade, but that fight is the big juicy steak! The danger is letting the meat sit in the marinade too long! Manny wants major cash to fight Crawford! I bet Spence Jr. would fight Crawford in a PPV for half of what Manny wants! It's something for TC & Arum to think about! Bud vs. The Truth is a PPV fight on the level with Ward vs. Kovalev II!

tough little bastard lol. good luck to him. I'm hitting the sack soon.

Made spence look like a ****** really a right little *****

Brook without the eye would have beaten Spence, he was completely out boxing him. I think Thurman beats Spence.

Omg.....You do know spence beat that eye pretty badly and that's why he took a knee, Im American and i told my ol lady laying here in our duplex saying they should stop it and He should his career n think about his family.... homie. Im lil lost with your perception!!

Props to you for being objective instead of strapped into the train. I personally think he edges garcia though...

That's the beauty of boxing right?

That´s right!
Based on these last two fights I think Brook is not very good at surviving. Same as Cotto, when they are in trouble, you know they won´t get any better. You can have all the heart you want, but when in danger you need skills and stamina. If you are too tired to lift your arms, clinch or run, then it´s over.

I was giving a commentary on another stream and I think I used the term 'dead man walking' for Brook after the 8th. He was done. Everything he did after that was pure heart and instinct, and he went to the end of his body's ability to go further. Anyone questioning Brook's heart or grit - well, put them in a boxing ring with what Brook had left after 8 and see how far they get....he went beyond the call of duty

thats the truth mate . hes made his money time he put his feet up and enjoys his retirement,

Battle of Attrition and the better man won. Great fight!
