Comments Thread For: Spence: Peterson a Better Fighter Than Brook, Has More Heart

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

IBF welterweight champion Errol Spence expects a very tough challenge when he makes his first world title defense against Lamont Peterson on January 20th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Back in May, Spence (22-0, 19 KOs) traveled to England to dethrone Kell Brook for the IBF title before a rabid crowd in Sheffield. Peterson, a former division world champion, vacated the WBA "regular" welterweight title to move forward with his fight against Spence.

This is gonna be a hell of a fight right up untill Spence finishes Lamont.. maybe even the best welter weight scrap of next year

The headline is slightly misleading. The full quote speaks of 'even more heart' which implies a great deal more respect for Brook than this headline suggests:

"I've seen too many fighters look down the road and get beat before they get to the big fight. I have to be 100 percent focused and hungry. I'm fully dedicated to this fight. Lamont can push me to even greater levels. I feel like he is a better fighter than Kell Brook and has even more heart than Kell Brook and he can bring out the best in me.

He definitely is not a better fighter (probably has more heart) Spence will win this easy and it will be over quick.

You are reaching here, Spence! You don't even believe that bs you are trying to feed us.

Peterson is tough, rugged and happy to brawl.

He is also skilled - I enjoy watching his fights to be honest.

IMO he is one of the most underrated WW's in the division.

Brook has plenty of heart as well, but physically he is less durable than guys like Peterson.
