    Did he though? I was rooting for ES, and all, and Im glad he Won. But from what I saw, KB took a knee, got up by 10, and the ref stopped it. Or did I see it wrongly?

      The 2nd time he got up but was signaling that his eye was ***ed. That means, "I can't fight".

        So its better to die in the ring? Rather than live to fight another day. When you can't see you don't fight. We know to much about long term damage to repeat what was done 25 years ago.

          Ya I saw him doing that, but I assumed he still wanted to Fight anyway, but the ref stopped It. I may have perceived it wrongly though.

              He was behind the scoredcard. And spence out landed him by more than 110 punches.

                I agree..

                He totally faded after 6,7 rounds and Spence just blitzed him.

                I got no problem with Brook taking the knee,, he was a beaten man, fought valiantly, just couldn't win the battle of attrition

                    It looked more like he was looking for the easier way out to me. A KO would have been harder to swallow than using an Injury as an out. Just my opinion though.

                      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.
