Comments Thread For: Brook Quit Vs. Spence Because He Was Worried He'd Go Blind

[Fists_of_Fury]

Fighting 4 rounds with a broken eye socket (again) is not showing spirit and heart?

I know you hate brits with a passion, but you come across like a weird little person.

Fighters have fought with detached retinas, broken jaws, broken noses, broken eye sockets, broken hands, etc... if some people deem Brook to not have heart they are well within their rights to do so. He took a knee and didn't want to continue... if the tables were flipped and Spence was the one that did that I'm sure there would be way more threads about no heart, being exposed, Jeff Lacy 2.0, etc... Brook fans should just take their L and everything that comes with it. You still have Joshua and he's a good fighter with heart.

Dude knew he was behind and couldn't win without a KO or multiple knock downs which being realistic was never gonna happen as he wasn't facing his usual list of crap opposition. He quit because he knew their was no reason for him to endure a further beating and go out on his back.

He could have shown spirit and heart but here he is trying to save face.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN in a professional boxing match, HAVE YOU EVER had you eye socket broken. My guess is not.

Look, I get it, my initial reaction when he took the knee and tapped out, I'm like WTF he is doing, he quit. But you have to put the whole thing in perspective.

He didn't quit vs GGG, his trainer threw in the towel, and that was in round 5 against a harder puncher.

I wouldn't doubt his surgeon said that to him, but who really knows.

Obviously he knows what the injury feels like, I betchu the demons of knowing that he could go blind and pure shock of like "is this really happening again?!", made him do it. The kid was fighting in front of his home crowd, something he was dreaming of since he was a kid, there has to be a logical sense for him to do that at home.

This kind of reminded me of McClellan fight vs Benn when he took 2 knees and "Quit" and everyone was saying that right after it happen, and we all know what happened to him.

NO ONE really knows what going on to a fighter during these tense physical fights and you have to give him the benefit of the doubt based on his history

Or he simply realised he was too far behind on the cards and it was needless being in the ring any longer with the immovable object in front of him hitting nearly as hard as Golovkin.

Whatever Ingle whispers in his ears when he's telling him 'don't talk' knowing the cameras are on him is obviously 'quit, the British casuals will come back again to pay ppv, they're ******, you don't need to be a warrior, think of your future if you're blind you'll never be able to dance in gay bars on your own again and go back to straight guys apartments hoping to get some ****'

The dude quit.

If all that is true Brook has no other option other than retirement. Some how I very much doubt that is going to happen.

Doctors told him he could go blind before. So nothing wrong with him quitting. Spence only won on technicality similar to cuts stoppage
Of course spence should be proud of win. But there must have come a point in fight where suddenly brook was offering less resistance and the fight suddenly left brook. Spense must have felt his punches hurt him rather than eye. That must be when eye went.

You don't lose your eyesight from a broken nose.

Again, who's done it twice - in succession?

I'd rather die before I quit
