Comments Thread For: Spence Warns Kell Brook: Next Time I'll Break Both of Your Eyes!

[Tha Kid]

I'm not one for taking names and bookmarking comments, but I'm pretty sure the people who are trashing Brook for wanting to fight Spence again are the same people who called him a coward for waiting till his broken eye socket was healed before fighting him the first time.

"It's a mando, it's a mando, it's a mando .. he's gonna duck, he's gonna duck Errol! .. Fight Errol you coward! .. It's a mando, it's a mando, it's a mando .. "

What the hell are you talking about? LOL

The reasons for the tank emptying are as much to do with Spence as with Brook . I am not saying otherwise but Brook stayed at welterweight far too long trying to pin down glass jawed Khan for a £8m then Wembley Stadium fight from which Khan ran and ran and ran.Kell has been making welter since he was a teenager and looked like a dead man walking at the weigh in.A rematch between the two could easily go the same way but at 154 right Brook off at your peril.

He never had an issue at 147 until he got his ass whupped. He still mentions it for crying out loud.

It's selective observations lol. They want to pretend that they never saw the body shots.

Spence invested in them from the first bell, a little too much in fact. They paid dividends though. The eye was just an excuse for him not being able to carry on after being worn down.

I'm talking about people who got all angry and worked up because they thought Brook was running scared from Spence first time around, now getting even more angry and worked up because he isn't running scared and wants to fight him again.

So Spence needs to move up when he makes 147 comfortably but back then people we're defending GGG for not moving up to fight Ward or any other 168 fighter instead of the buns he was fighting. How ironic

Bottom line....Thurman, Porter and Garcia have all made it very, very clear. They have no intention of fighting Spence in 2018, period, it's not going to happen. How much clearer can they make it?

Why? Because all three also know what nobody is willing to admit...that Spence does NOT comfortably make 147...in spite of the fact that people keep repeating it. Spence barely makes 147 and just like Brook, by 2019 Spence will no longer be able to make weight. Isn't it obvious? I'm sorry but just because you maintain that Spence makes 147 comfortably doesn't make it true, he shrinks down and that's why his power is so effective.

Brook will be difficult for anyone at 154

[markther]

Finally someone that wants to fight Spence instead of running from him. And Spence put some hurt on him too. Gotta respect Brook. Is Porter, Thurman, or Garcia calling him out? At least Brook has heart.

[stellen]

He may well break both his eyes next time. But you know what, brook knows this and still wants the fight. You gotta respect the guy.

[joseph5620]

let's be honest about this .. it was Golovkin who broke Kell's face, not Spence. If that hadn't happened Brook would have beaten Errol.

If you believe Golovkin broke the opposite eye in a fight he wasn't involved in then you're just ******. Let's be honest about that.

LMAO

Yeah Khan is the reason Spence kicked Brooks mediocre ass.

Khan was a champ and Olympian way before a roided brook got a gift decision over porter.

Brook hasn't really done anything, and has mediocre skills. He's just strong and roided out. You Brook fans need to really stop with the Khan obsession. Its embarrassing.

And for the last time you dim wits. Spence is BIGGER than Brook, thus more drained at WW than Brook. At 154, he is STILL bigger, and more energetic. I don't know how something so simple is so difficult to understand.

I disagree. Spence is taller and has more reach yes, but I think Brook was bigger and slightly stronger.

However, Brook has less stamina, and it aint got nothing to do with weight drain, in the GGG fight he was also gassing pretty badly and breaching out of his mouth by the 3rd/4th round.

Fact is both Brook and Spence forced him to fight at a pace that he is unable to keep up with.

That's why Spence didn't panic even when Brook was landing a lot and bullying him in the 3rd to the 5th round because he knew his relentless and brutal body work along with the brutal pace that he was making Brook fight at was going to win him the fight in the middle/later rounds.

Spence is a stamina beast let's face it. The guy is relentless and he never stops punching. Makes it worse that his punches hurt like hell. Even his jab is a thudding lazer beam. Brook honestly never stood a chance.

Spence also has ridiculously long arms. That long uppercut to the solar plexus that he was landing throughout the fight was ridiculous. Brook just couldn't avoid it no matter how much he tried to jump backwards.

There are also other factors here like pain tolerance.

Brook tried to take away Spence's jab by countering over it. However Spence never stopped throwing and landing that jab no matter how manny times Brook countered. Eventually Brook stopped trying to counter it coz clearly Spence wasn't discouraging and that jab was starting to mess up his eye.

Also, Brook was throwing and landing a straight right to the body a lot in the early rounds. However, instead of backing away, every time Brook threw that right to the body, whether he landed or not, Spence would stand his ground and immediately counter with and overhead left to the head. Again, Brook eventually stopped throwing that punch because it wasn't discouraging Spence and insead he was getting nailed to the face every time he threw it.

There was a lot of this throughout the fight. Like for example I mentioned earlier that Brook was mandhandling Spence and off *****g him with his size and agression early on, but that took up a lot of his energy because even though Brook was stronger, it wasn't by that much, he's only a fraction stronger than Spence and Spence has way more stamina, so eventually Brook had no choice but to stop that tactic coz he was gassing at much quicker than his opponent and Spence wasn't intimidated by his strength.

There are other interesting battles that occurred within this fight and Brook lost most of them.

He did well, I give him credit. His tactics were not wrong either, they would have worked against any other opponent, but Spence is just a too much of a beast, physically, skillwise, and most importantly, mentally.

Brook is a highly skilled fighter, let's not make any mistake about that. In fact, I would bet my money on Brook against any other welter out there, including Crawford.

But against Spence, and against the top 154lbers (except Ali) , hell no. That's just a disaster waiting to happen. Spence and those other guys are beast.
