    Which recent top WW win was better? Thurman beating Garcia or Spence beating Brook?

    I think Spence's win against Brook was better because Danny didn't really do much at WW to prove he was one of the elite. Brook didn't do much either but he did beat the champ and won clearly doing it.

    Yeah I agree. Spence's was better. Also, didn't Garcia win a vacant title by beating a shopworn Robert Guerrero

      I think the Spence over Brook win is the better win.

      But as far as which one was better to watch overall on the eyes, I say Thurman-Garcia was the better fight to watch. Not much better. But it was more pleasing on the eyes. Lol

        Yeah and somehow had a pretty close fight with him too.

          Yeah the first 6 rounds was annoying of Spence/Brook with the legs tangling so damn much.

            I've said Thurman but I've changed my mind about 4 times since ticking the box. Both excellent wins.

              Danny didn't show up to fight, and Keith made no effort to do anything other than coast to a safe victory. Spence vs Brook was a battle of attrition. They were at each other the whole damn fight.

              Spence had a better win against an opponent to gave him a harder fight.

                I don't know if it was the time off or that their styles just didn't mesh well. But it didn't translate in the ring too much.

                I mean the fight did have it's moments and some good moments at that. Particularly round 10. But overall it was a little sloppy and sluggish. I was expecting a more exciting fight given the hype and status of both guys.

                We've seen both Spence and Brook look better, maybe it was the time off, their styles clashed, who knows. But we will see Spence looking better than he did yesterday. It was just one of those things, it happens.

                  Thurman-Garcia was the better fight to watch.

                    Yeah, i'd say Spence also. I don't really see Garcia making much of a dent at WW.
