Nah Brook forced the stoppage, he didn't want to continue and got counted out... he took a knee for what reason? He tried to disguise it but he quit period!!! Now am I blaming him for quitting? Nope but when you claim you are the man without proving it then you claim you were leading on the scorecards in your head, why did you quit with a round and a half to go?
My problem with Brook is that he never proved himself, he is like a lot of British fighters who rack up 30 odd wins, whilst sitting at home fighting bum and then calling themselves the man, just because we support our boxers passionately doesn't mean they are the best.
They still need to go out there and prove it, Brook at 147 had his first real adversity but he didn't react like other real warriors would in that ring. He was the more seasoned pro, home advantage, champion etc
Am not going to give him a break at all. He followed the path of least resistance from the beginning, he never challenged himself in 13 years at that weight.
Thurman in the last 4 years has fought Guerrero, Chaves, Garcia, Porter, collazo etc, and Brook? Porter and now Spence.Comment

I'd rather they do that then to just verbally quit. I was thinking the ref might let It continue after he got up at 9. Did the ref ask him if he wanted to continue?Comment

[QUOTE=Ray*;17711708]Yep I totally agree with you here, the eye was the perfect excuse. He was blinking intentionally because he wanted a way out, he was getting destroyed to the body and he was going to get laid out. He didn't want that in front of his own fans, so he kinda quit... I don't like to question boxers heart but a lot of boxers would rather have gone out on their backs, than quit the way he did. When you look at his resume and see the fights he has had you can tell he wouldn't dig deeper if he face any sort of adversity.[/QUO
exactly , as soon as he started the exagerated eye blinking i knew straight away hes looking for his corner or the ref to get him out of there he was wanting someone to make the decision for him to stop the fight then when they didnt he did ,he quit.Comment
