Comments Thread For: Kell Brook: I Just Couldn't See, I Had To Take a Knee

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Kell Brook put in a valiant display but surrendered his IBF welterweight title following an 11th-round stoppage defeat to Errol Spence Jr at Bramall Lane. Fighting in front of around 27,000 highly-partisan fans in his home city of Sheffield, Brook more than matched Spence Jr for the first eight rounds but swelling over his left eye ultimately turned the bout in the American's favour.

that loss had nothing to do with this. wasn't even the same eye. errol spence would destroy brook like this even before the golovkin fight. spence really made brook QUIT....ripped his heart out. something golovkin wasn't able to do. also spence never allowed brook to box his ears off like he did to golovkin.

Truth. Taking a beatdown like that doesn't leave you the same. Not that Brook would ever beat Spence.

No excuses Brook, you took classes from Cotto on taking knee's. How did that work out for you? However I do understand the eye and that it was ****ed up, just go down fighting my man.

The sad thing is that in the first 6 rounds I had Brook up by 4-1. He was completely out boxing and out classing Spence. It's just round 7, Brook gassed out from dropping the weight and the GGG fight took its toll. Its crazy how people say that wouldn't have affected him.

When Cotto beat Margarito in their rematch, we all talked about how Margarito was shot from Pac-man and his eye. When Cotto fought Martinez we talked about how he was shot with his bum knee.

Now when Spence fights this guy who clearly gassed out from weight/muscle loss and eye socket started tweaking and we say that, everyone says it's b.s. and we are trying to put him down. **** off.

I didn't see anything special about Spence.

so much hate to write this garbage.
Golovkin destroyed my man Brook and took his should and his career seems to be stall at most after Golovkin.

This doesn't make much sense. Something Golovkin wasn't able to do? This fight went 11. That fight went 5. Brook was getting destroyed in that 5th round. Are you implying that fight would have went the distance had Brook's corner not thrown in the towel? If so, thats a pretty ridiculous statement. Also that fight likely had some impact on this one from mental perspective. Brook had been told that had he kept taking additional blows in the Golovkin fight he may have lost the sight in his right eye. I imagine that was going through his mind when he hurt the left eye in this fight.

Anyway, good tense fight for 8 rounds or so. Props to Spence for closing the show.

Really, was Golovkin fighting tonight? Could swear that was Errol Spence

Yeah because getting hit with bricks for 11 rounds and taking a knee is the same at what happened tonight moron. Spence beat brook by being a better fighter, margarito won for having his wraps full of plaster

Where do you armchair experts come from? "Go down fighting my man"... REALLY, SERIOUSLY???

You weren't the one taking those vicious shots from the hardest puncher at welterweight! It was a dog fight for 11 rounds and Kell just couldn't see, no shame in taking a knee at that point and by this is coming from someone who was pulling for Errol Spence.

If he goes down fighting like you say, he could have ended up permanently blind in one eye but it's easy being a fat overweight person with a beer in one hand and a cheeseburger in the other making these comments
