Comments Thread For: Spence: I Knew Kell Brook Would Break Down If I Pressed Him

[SteveM]

By that logic you can say Floyd wasn't the "1st coming" when at Spences age he struggled with Judah and lost a few of the early rounds and Judah wasn't necessarily the best fighter out at the time. If you think at the top level you not going to get hit you are delusional.

Kell clearly said Spence was one of the best If not the best he's ever fought and reminded him of GGG when he fractured his other eye....

So the jury is still out then. A very good boxer yes! An elite once in a generation boxer that can carry boxing - not yet.

Haters need to re-read what Spence said - he used his boxing IQ made an adjustment midway thru the fight and carried Brook at a pace he knew Brook couldn't handle! Brook is a spoilt fighter - lazy and coddled ! Hearn should have had an intervention with Brook, gave him some internal step aside $ and made him fight at 154 - fans can give their favorite fighter excuses, but the ring doesn't lie, and Brook had a fundamental flaw - that Spence knew he could exploit because of his work ethic and the types of camps he puts himself thru, you cannot stay at the top level fight in C level fighters and not constantly putting that work in!! Spence spars Jermell Charlo on the regular ! The only thing Spence had to over come was nerves - overseas/ 1st title fight/ 27,000 fans - it takes a round or 2 to acclimated

You forgot Amir Khan, Bradley and Pac didn't you?

There is a big difference from being in the top 5 and name recognition Khan, Bradley and Pac are just names.Out of the 3 you named Khan would actually step in the ring with the 5 I named.Bradley is just as worse than Pac in fighting current top level fighters, he's just living off of a bad decision victory off of Pac,Bradley should move back down to 140 he's too short and has no power to compete at 147

Brook won least 5 of the first 6 then the 2 weight drop showed and brook had nothing left then quit like a ***** spence aint much was expecting alot more in this fight from him

5 of the first 6? What fight were you watching?

spence outmuscled brook, but didn't outbox him. he just ran over him when there was nothing left in brook's gas tank. spence's fans pretending he had it easy and that wasn't close are funny. i had it 5-5 after 10 with spence ahead by the KD.

Strength and conditioning are part of boxing too.

And a championship fight is scheduled for 12 rounds. It doesn't matter who is ahead after 10, it matters whose hand is raised when the fight is officially over.

The same one as carl froch he had it the same as me

[Sickmerch1990]

Well that had much to do with the loss of muscle maybe props to spence he beat a worthy champ on only hos 22nd fight dont think even pushing 40 he beats pac imo

[Ake-Dawg]

It was nothing you did that beat Brook. It was Brook weight drained and coming off of a loss to GGG. Without left eye problem brook would have beat you in the later rounds. As its spence untested at highest level.
It was a cherry pick. Anytime you fight someone coming off of a loss its got cherry pick all over it.

So Spence gets no credit for punching Brook hard enough to break his orbital? He gets no credit for forcing the weight drained guy to fight at a pace that drained him. Smh.

Great fight, brought the best out of both, it lived up to its billing though I fear after two straight losses brook may find it even more difficult to find quality fights. I'd like to see him in with Peterson next.
