    Kell Brook got heart

    I watched Spence fight again and cmon man, it is unfair how so many fans are labeling him a quitter.

    Kell Brook is still one of the top British fighters. He isnt dead game but he got heart

          That’s exactly how i saw it. He did the best he could given the situation and fought his heart out..

          I dont see that as a quit job.

            I can't fault him he at least left it all in the ring unlike my boy Rigo.

            His orbital was broke he was gassed, knocked down and he went for broke and threw everything at Spence before deciding he'd nothing left. I can't knock that he gave it his best.

              if you know your eye is fncked, youre risking sight in it every time to enter the ring. not so much brave as it is doing your job.

              nflers know concussions are a play away but they put the pads on and go to work.

                I don't think so. The fact that he's talking about fighting again means the injury wasn't serious enough for him to hang the gloves up. Sure, there's a risk he'll get hurt, but every boxer faces risks. Frazier fought most of his career with a busted eye. He went against Ali in one of the greatest fights ever and was half-blind by the end. Brook didn't even try to tough it out till the final rounds.

                  I think with Brook having a broken eye socket VS GGG and being told the operation risked him going blind helped his decision. Apparently they had to lift his eye out a bit etc in that operation (Although it could be a normal procedure which I don't know)

                    Two broken eye sockets in back to back fights against arguably the two best punchers AND fighters in their respective divisons. (GGG at 160 and Spence at 147)

                    The man fought GGG and Errol Spence back to back for christ sake. Not only did he fight them, he was arguably winning before he got his eye socket broken and then stopped by both of them each eye. The fact he even wants to fight again after that....he's a "quitter" though.

                    Give the man a ****ing break. "Quitter" my ass.
