Comments Thread For: Spence: I Proved I Can Take a Punch From a Big, Strong Welter

Well done spence you went abroad and won thats no small feat. Well done.
Shame the win was on a tecnicality though like a cut. Id like to have seen it go distance.

Spence won on a technicality? Everyone bringing up the eye injury. Spence is the reason the eye socket was broken, there was no technicality, Spence broke it and Brook quit. There was nothing left in Brook after taking all those body shots and punches to the eye.

It was the 6th. I've seen the fight 6 times. Spence gets hit in the arm, stumbles, the crowd goes crazy, he gets hit clean by a one two and then its like someone hit a switch. He proceeded to beat Brook the hell up for the rest of the round lol. Something lit a fire under him in that round.

For such a soft-spoken, well-mannered, babyfaced guy, he's got a hell of a lot of grit. There's a lot of dog in him but the cool thing is that he can box just as well. He reminds be of Ward in that respect. In fact, his body work and opportunity shots on the inside reminded me a lot of him.

Spence is getting too ****y. Brook is not a big puncher at all man. Pac or any of the other top welters can beat him if he doesn't improve his defense

Why so touchy? Spence said "a big, strong, welter." I interpreted that to mean he faced someone as big and strong as himself;not a KO artist.

BTW, at this stage of his career, Pac won't go anywhere near Brook, Thurman or Spence. Can't say I blame him though.

He did take punches from a large, strong WW. Which is why I think he will dominate Crawford if he ever moves up to 147. It would be a great fight, but I give the edge to Spence, even though Crawford is the more talented boxer of the two.

Are you expecting Khan to call out Spence Jr. or Kell Brook? I would expect the latter!

I was joking there really, but if King Khan still seriously believes he can rule at 147, then calling out Spence would be the logical thing to do. They are both with Haymon, and now Spence has introduced himself to the UK fans, it would be a really big fight over here, and big money for both guys.

Brook is going to be out for a while now, and I don't think he will ever fight at 147 again, so that rules Khan/Brook out, imo, because The King has said that if Brook wants to fight him, it has to be at WW.

Blame Kell Special (K)nee Brook for that

I would rather see Khan vs. Danny Garcia in the UK, and Spence Jr. vs. Lamont Peterson or Shawn Porter (whichever one Thurman doesn't choose). However, for Spence Jr., it may be more beneficial financially, to face Khan in the UK.

you guys must have imagined all that

honestly, why would boxing fans talk shht about a promising young up-and-coming fighter, for no reason at all?



I will call it how I see it.....

the whiney golovkin fanboys just took another L

Wait wait wait hahaha
You think that I'm a Golovkin "fanboy" (your word not mine) based on the fact that I didn't go out of my way to hate on Spence?
Is this the kind of logic that you always use?

He proved himself that night. Two world class welterweights in there fought a high level.
