Just rewatched Brook vs Spence. My thoughts

[LacedUp]

I gave him major credit for that. He not only fought back, but hit Spence hard enough to seriously slow him. I don't shame him for the "quit" when he had the heart to at least try to rally and take the fight back.

Yeah he had a late rally in that round. Epic round actually. But that was the last thing he had in him.

The scariest thing about Spence is that he'll only get better. He's still green.

soul_survivor gave me red k for this thread

why?

Because he has no integrity. I argue with a lot of people on here but he's one of those few who has never conceded a point, accepted the olive branch, have never shown any integrity. He's just a bitter *** who can't accept the idea that he might be wrong sometimes.

We're all wrong, and wrong quite often. We gotta learn to laugh at ourselves sometimes.

Is it just me or did Errol literally bring chocolate brownies back? Miss good ole American baked brownies

Sky was atrocious, Froch gave Kell 5 rounds in a row starting from round 2, the same round Spence started walking down Kell in. Spence was walking Kell down for a lot of the fight, was never in any real trouble. I still think Spence has a gear or 2 more to show of his game, he never had to really dig in deep for the win. He invested in the body REALLY well which paid dividends later on in the fight and then started opening up.

Funny how in under a year Kell went from being this undefeated welterweight monster, the mini Mike Tyson slayer to now the 2 time quitter, UK's very own Victor Ortiz. Kell should keep Queen Khan's name out his mouth because ole glass jaw has yet to quit.

I've been a critic of Brook and his pathetic 13 year career and rightly so, all he has to show for it is a clinch fest win over Porter and then subsequently holding the belt hostage for a number of years and then finally 2 broken eye sockets from the second and third live bodies he faced, truly pathetic.

No Champion will give Kell a shot at 147 and Kell won't beat anyone with a name at 154, he may as well retire to the mulatto chav haven of Ibiza, Tenerife or whatever.

How is Brook a 2 time quitter when the corner stopped the fight both times?

[Eff Pandas]

The Sky commentary was very biased and didn't acknowledge Spence's jab or body work early on. That's why you have a lot of guys on here saying Brook was easily out boxing Spence when he wasn't.

Have they gone up a level with the biasness on Sky/the UK in general? Seemed like they always lean towards the UK guy for obvious reasons, but they were damn near giving Walshy a handie J last week & that fight seemed like a Tank showcase that could've been mildly competitive at best.

[Canelo and GGG]

IMO Spence overtook this fight in mid rounds and in late rounds he was just punishing Brook ,he got his Jab together and body punches started affecting Kell ,Spence had plan from start to finish "break his man down"

I thought it was a pretty even fight until Brook ran out of gas, then Spence took over. He looks a good fighter to me, decent enough skills, punches hard and has great stamina. I think he beats Thurman.

Bigger, better skills and dealt with the one common opponent best.

Felt like Brook would have beaten Thurman if they met. Still do. Just not at 147.

What you have is the Khan syndrome. Rating the guy on the assumed potential of his skills but not his actual performance. Thurman fought the common opponent all the way to the bell while Brook did his John Ruiz impression of hit and hold

[TonyGe]

Spence was body bagging Brook alot in the early rounds on the inside with short shots abd mostly body shots are hard to keep up with because snapping headshots somewhat overwhelms the moment because of all the moving head and the splatter if sweat. It gives the illusion of the things that are clearly seen are stronger but not really knowing what is on the inside and hidden.

Yeah he was landing nice body shots early but it seemed than Kell was more in control of the ring at first. I need to watch it again.
