Comments Thread For: Hearn: Kell Brook Would Beat Errol Spence at 154, No Question

[hogey]

Brook fans are delusional. Spence broke Brook down with relentless pressure and punishment. The fight was even until Spence wore him out. Then it was an old fashioned beating from pillar to post. Then Brook had to be smart and save himself from permanent blindness. Spence stops Brook at any weight. The only thing Brook is going to do at 154 is get his face broken again by Charlo.

Not a Brook fan if anything im more a fan of Spence but nothing about that first fight suggested Brook was out of his depth and he outboxed Spence who was pretty uneffective for the first 6 rounds, then all of a sudden Brook was exhausted and Spence took over at 154 Brook hits harder and will last the pace better. Who is to say those clean shots Brook landed in the first fight wont take Spence out at 154, im not saying im sure Brook would win i just think the extra weight would make it a far more level playing field and by the time they get in the ring Brook would be a middleweight. Lets be fair he even took GGG shots pretty well without being weight drained and his power is far beyond Spence.

Brook getting tired and having the eye injury...... totally had nothing to do with what Spence was doing. No, instead it was 20 week training camp and an unlucky barrage of punches over 10 rounds that happen made the injury occur.

Both Brook fans and Spence fans are delusional.

Spence might look like a bag of crap at 154 and pretending you know different is pointless.

Also, Brook was clearly ahead early on in their fight. It wasn’t even, Brook had by far the cleaner better work early on before Spence took over.

The reason why I think Spence would stop Brook again though at 154 is as clean a puncher as Brook is, his power doesn’t carry at elite level. He tagged Porter and Spence (GGG too, but we’ll ignore that) with some clean, crisp shots and it didn’t move them or keep them away.

Spence breaks him down again.

“All of a sudden Brook got tired”

Lol

It is a bad match up for Brook and it would go the same way with Brook quitting or his corner throwing in the towel

Spence is improving and getting better and better. I think Spence is even more of a problem at 154, as he will be bigger and stronger.

Brook simply is not a elite level boxer, he should stick to fighting European sparring partners because soon as he steps up against a genuine skilled boxer, its over

“Brook was clearly ahead early on”

Yeah, that’s meaningless. It isn’t a 6 round fight. It’s 12 rounds. If your gameplan isn’t sufficient enough to last longer than 4 or 5 rounds, then you can’t claim you were doing well or winning the fight. You weren’t. Not when the other guy adapts and starts taking over from round 4 onwards.

Brook fans have always been delusional, don't mind them. They came back out of the woodworks after he beat this eastern European bum, and now all of a sudden he can beat Spence

LMAO

'Fast' Eddie must hate Kell Brook or got tired of using Amir Khans name to make Brook relevant. Eddie Hearns knows E.Spence is trying to unify 147 and wont waste his time on a bum like Brook.

[FrankieBruno]

And Kell Brook wouldn't be better at 154? Errol Spence won the first fight fair and square but Kell Brook had to have a 20 week training camp just to make weight. Anyone who knows anything about training knows you would be overtrained if you trained that long but he had no choice to make 147. Brook was outboxing Spence first half of that fight. Errol then took over second half of that fight with the combination of the pace he set, Brook's eye socket broken and a lack of gas in the tank due to making weight. Hearn is just saying that to make noise as any good promoter would but anyone who doesn't think a Brook v Spence rematch is competitive at 154 doesn't know boxing.

You clearly don't no boxing

A green Spence beat Brook in to submission

Brook was not outboxing anyone, the only person that got outboxed was Brook

Spence broke him down, man handled him, got on the inside and targeted Brooks body. Brook has no inside game, he can bully around smaller men, but he faced a man who was just as big as him and stronger and it showed.

Spence could have killed Brook in there had it gone on any longer.

Brook says he fell in to depression after that fight. Brook simply does not have the tools to deal with a Spence. Brook is limited, very limited. All you have to do is push Brook and he starts looking to his corner to pull him out, once a quit always a quit.

Think a big part of the problem for Brook was going straight from 160 down to welterweight. That's going to take it's toll on the body and once the tank emptied out he was a dead man walking against such a quality operator.

I would love to see a 154 rematch, because the skill levels seemed similar. Just the gas tank let Brook down, perhaps it wouldn't at 154 and the fight would be closer.

I still think Spence would win (I rate him top of the 147lbers and I'm sure he would still be a machine at 155), but would be great to see Brook in high-level fights again because he's clearly miles too good for the likes of Rabchenko (who isn't a bum) and has a lot left to offer.
