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

[methodcal]

I agree with some of what you said but you can absolutely forget about a Crawford stoppage. When and if Crawford should move up that will be a massive fight that would be more 50/50 but Crawford is a whole other beast. Crawford's movement and defense are second to none.

A true 50/50 fight when crawford is comfortable at the weight. Phew. 2017

What an atmosphere at the fight, it was the bomb!!

Spence looked like a bum the first three rounds and was getting outboxed by brook easily.

---------------------

Because in boxing the first three rounds is what typically determines the end of the fight?
What the hell is your point? This was a great fight and the better man won.

It's 12 rounds of boxing for a reason

Brook was the only one who had the size and physicality to beat this kid at 147

spence def beats thurman, sure. bradley is a class
above all other welterweights, and pacquiao is a class above bradley. as of right mow both a those guys definitely beat spence.

also, as of right now, crawford comfortably handles spence. no problem. spence has plentymofmtime and room to improve tho.

Kell might be done full stop unless he can get those eyes sorted.

Spence was strangely underwhelming (just compared to the hype train, I guess). He's not exactly slick on offence or defence, but he is some goddamn athlete. Got out boxed for the majority of the first half, took everything Brook had, but just kept coming like the T2000. Well done, young man.

Think Thurman will end up going the same way as Kell in the late rounds.

I kinda feel the same.

That's ok. We'll settle for AJ. Send Wilder when he learns how to box.

I am not sure I would bank on AJ just yet pal.

Don't get the Spence hate. Dude just went into a fringe P4P guy's backyard and beat him into submission. So he's not as good as Floyd Mayweather. Newsflash, 99.9% of the people that have fought for pay aren't as good as Floyd. No big deal. To put into context what he just did. You walk away from fight knowing he was better than Brook. In contrast, a decent number of people walked away from GGG-Brook thinking that if not for the size difference, Gennady may have gotten his ass handed to him.

All that holding that Brook did not helped him this time.

He simply quitted. Now lets here all the excuses

[Patsfan bri]

First I said over a year ago Spence / Crawford will be the next big fight in boxing. Secondly Brook is a quitter. I have seen swollen eyes way worse than that. Third Spence was able to handle the chocolate brownies from the fudge packer and that's the truth.

A Tale of two halves. Watched the fight with my Twin. He's seen more of Spence than I have. I thought early he was pushing his jab and falling in with it, skates on his feet. My Twin assured me Spence breaks people down. He did.
