Comments Thread For: Kell Brook: I Regret Errol Spence Fight, I Was Too Drained at 147

[BobLoblaw]

No. Can Shawn Porter even box? No.

You got selective memory? He's had 38 fights. 35 bums. 2 step ups. 1 debatable decision. 1 fight with someone his own size for once that he called Jeff Lacey made him submit like the bìtch he is and QUIT on one knee like he about to give head infront of his own city. Booed out by his own city to chants of "QUITTER". His whole team was in tears. Even Eddie LMFAO! Oh and one obvious cash grab in which he was about to die and gave his corner all the signs he wants to QUIT. Facts.

You said Kell was a Bum slayer. Considering he beat Porter, i'm guessing you consider him a bum.

P.S. I was at the fight at Brammall Lane and one of the last to leave. There was nobody booing or chanting 'quitter'. Props to Errol Spence, he is 'The Truth'.

which is kinda funny, cuz brook, from months out to fight day, was bigger and heavier than golovkin.

It's easy gain the weight, but to work with it is different. That was all for show.

[Bronx2245]

It wasn't just the weight draining, it was the fact that you got a belt @ 147, and then fought Jo Jo Dan, Frankie Gavin and Kevin Bizier! When you don't face good competition, and then suddenly face GGG and Errol Spence Jr., you will have some serious problems!

excuses...excuses...excuses!!!!!

I like Kell and I think he has a future at 154 but the Friday before the Saturday is not really the time to be bringing up the Spence (or GGG) fight.

[Removed Now]

Mentally he's out of it.

I for one, Brook doesn't have to explain away how much of a true champion, gladiator and soldier he is. He displayed the kind of heart, toughness, courage and intestinal fortitude to step into the ring with two of the most avoided fighters in boxing.

Not many men in general and professional boxers in particular can even say that. Unlike Brook, some champions refuse to even try to defend their titles in the ring like Miguel Cotto.

However, Kell on the other hand, instead of just giving up away his title chose to defend it in the ring. That in and of itself my friends are the mark of a Hell of a man and a Hell of a champion.

As I can only speak for myself, I couldn't have been more proud of him for doing what he did.

Brook was OK...

Kell Brook, the problem is not the weight or the eye, its your promoter Eddie Hearn ; who pimped your ass to the highest bidder. You could of fought Jessie Vargas at welterweight for unification ( IBF-WBO) but your boss was too greedy, and you're too ******.

... yes, maybe...

... though he had both his eye sockets broken... tough task...

[BUCSBronzemedal]

when the going gets tough this punk will QUIT. its now embedded in his DNA. if his eye gets punched hard enough his corner will bail out. I expect to see him quit once again.

Ok mate so you would be fine with losing your sight for the sake of 36 minutes of entertainment.
Be a realist, no boxing match should continue if a serious injury is identified during a bout.

He took on GGG when no-one else would and is the only top WW to fight Spence so far.

This fight will decide whether he has a future in the sport, a world title at 154 may be out of reach but you never know that WBO title fight with Liam Smith could happen later in the year if he wins against Sadam Ali.
For now the WBC Silver Belt is nice and shiny and will get him a world ranking.

But there's potentially a couple of fights left which could pay quite well so good luck to him. Another loss would signify the end though.

[Grimmer]

He had no choice really. He had to fight Spence.

Jo Jo Dan and Bizier were below par opponents as far as defences go. But Brook and Hearn defended those fights on the basis that they were mandatory opponents. Had Brook vacated when mandated to face his first legitimate threat it would have been considered a major duck and he knew this.

By insisting to fight his easy mandatories he made a rod for his own back.
