    So the eye injury he fought with for at least 4 rounds, only became a must quit problem when he looked like he was completely tired and finished and getting beat up?

    Whether or not the eye injury was really that bad, that's not why he quit. He quit because he was getting beat up. If he was winning and doing the beating, no way he quits the fight.

      Typical Cuck European - any adversity and he looks for the exit door. Fighters don't fight through injuries? You think Floyd, Marciano or any of the greats would have quit? Marciano's face was ripped up and he kept fighting. Floyd fought with a practically broken hand and pulled out the W.

      Brook has no heart period. It's these new generations - sense of entitlement.

      Last I checked Brook was still conscious and his heart was still beating... No excuse...

        Well he is talking about "He is a warrior and wanted to carry on" but then he quit in from of his own fans, in his hometown. They are talking about he has a broken eye socket seconds after the fight... They are not doctors but they were already throwing that out there.

            This is a response the Body Work , is the reason Brook gassed out and it is what makes Spence special he is the best body puncher since Roberto Duran, Chavez sr. 40 hours decent of the punches he threw were to the body and and and Brook never took a hellacious head shot. It was Jab jab body body body all day long. Headshots knock you out. Body shot zap your stamina and Brook energy was gone after 9th

              I think it played on his mind. He had seemed to have slowed down from the bodyshots and was taking clean shots.

              The doctor's had told him and Ingle that he could of lost his vision had he took more shots in the GGG fight. I imagine Brook went back to that place when he was being caught a lot by a strong and accurate puncher.

              It wasn't like say, a Loma/Walters ending. I can't get on Brooks back too much in this one.

                Sad to see people take aim at Brook for quitting. He did quit and no one likes to see that.

                But for *** sake, it's unfortunate for him that he sustained the same injury on consecutive nights, on different eyes. This isn't a broken hand or a torn muscle or some crap like that. He was told he could have gone blind if he'd taken more hits on that other eye.

                Ask Lamon Brewster if he would have traded his left eye sight for a couple of rounds less with WK.

                The guy has two daughters and a life outside boxing, plus couldn't see. Plus got up and fought when he couldn't see in the first place! He clearly stuck in there when he probably should have been pulled out as it was in the 10th. Nothing left and no eye sight.

                However, Spence did that. The injury didn't just pop up out on its own, so credit can not be taken away.

                Also, KB clearly has no business at 147 anymore. He's not a 12 round fighter at championship level in that weight. Simple as that.

                  Yeah that's the ticket, when you can't hang with Spence you go look for Charlo, won't get a chance to take a knee in that one. Would rather see him vs DG or give it another crack at Spence, peterson and thurman are good options too. With two metal plates in his face it will not break again hopefully.

                    Spence put a deposit of body punches early on and then it paid off by about round 8 onwards in a significant way. Kudos to both, best fight of the year.

                      He could hang with the guys at 154. It remains to seen how good he'll be, but he'll be sharper and stronger.

                      Remember the good charlo brother moved to 160.

                      I mean, we saw how good he looked at 160. and he won't face GGG at 154.
