We all gonna pretend like Spence wasn't getting schooled before the injury?

    Nah. Good competitive fight through the first six. I had it 3 rounds apiece going into the 7th

      I had it 4 rounds to 2 for Brook at the 6th. Spence made adjustments and won though, right?

        Brook was down 98-91 on my card. Maybe 97-92. He won 2 or 3 rounds. I don't see a 4th round to give him.

        Punch stats, although sometimes flawed, bore that out. 246-136 in punches landed is a blow out.

            It wasn't a freak injury, like an ankle or shoulder. It was Spence punching him and nearly blinding him. I don't know why people think that stuff somehow doesn't count. Same way one fighter might be eating a lot of shots while he sets up a counter. Does that KO counter get no respect either, if the guy had to take fire in order to land the shot?

              Threads like these make me question if posters are actual boxing fans that understand what it takes to win a fight at this level.

                Errol was catching up and with KD's he definitely would have had it on points 8-4. Unless the judges ****ed up.

                  I had it 3-2 Brook going into the 6th which ain't a slaughter. I give Brook credit for fighting a very solid fight in the 1st half, but if it was to continue Spence was on his way to a 8-4 maybe 9-3 kind of decision.

                    Schooled? NO yes Brook was winning the early rounds but body shots is what turned that fight around for him. He Chipped away at the body slowly, I do think Derrick James and Spence Jr knew he would crash and burn! Never was any panic from Spence Jr, he turned the heat up at the right time and just started picking Brook apart

                    Are Brook fans going with the Moral Victory Angle like the GGG fight, they will only talk about the early rounds and ignore the fact that he got stopped?

                      Golovkin did a much better job than Spence tbh, Spence went 11rds with a guy who was just fresh out from recovering from a bad injury...
                      I was very impressed at how good Brook was, he kinda showed us that Spence isn't that invincible, I think Porter will be licking his lips at the prospect of fighting Spence.
