        Thank you for those informative & entertaining quotes! Some fans now act as though Brook never had a shot!......granted, if they believed he didnt have a shot because of what Golovkin did to him, so be it, thats understandable! But Brook came over here and DISPAYED the SAME type of courage Spence did by coming over here and convincingly beating an UNDEFEATED fit dogged fighter that resembled a wild version of Mike Tyson!!

        Some complained he (Brook) held to much in the fight. But why not strategically "hold IF" the opponent your fighting is KNOWN for dry humping you while ramming his head in your chest/neck/face to sapp and intimidate whatever courage you came in there with?? I'm American, but whoever "deserves" their respect, it should be given, Brook did a courageous thing by coming over here dealing with this whirlwind of a fighter!

        Brooks "bravery" may have been too much when he stepped in the ring with the devastating puncher Golovkin, and Brook may never reach where he couldve (his potential) if not for that poor decision, but its NOT far fetched to think he couldve given Spence "the business" if he didn't get his face fractured beforehand! And it doesnt matter if his injury was initially on the right or left socket - his entire face was effected....

        Any opponent Brook fights now can potentially "break his face" again, any punch now whether it be soft or hard can/could re-agitate something as delicate as the structure of the eye sockets.......He did a great job against Spence until not even his bravery could help him out....broken eye sockets nullifying your strategy in a bout is something no condescending keyboard warrior can relate to, only Brook can fill us in on whats it like....and Ray Leonard whose detached retina had him seriously contemplating retirement....Spence is really good, can actually end up at the top of the pile, and I like him, but he hasn't faced slick welters that arent gonna stand in front of him like mindless zombies......Brook gave us a taste of that future opponents strategy...
        They're gonna have to be "slick" and as big as Brook! That's going to be hard to find @ 147! A lot of people concentrate on the head shots, because it's just a reflex, but what Spence did to Brook's body was exceptional! Brook could've had titanium on both orbits, that body work was going to take him outta there!

          Only chance Bud has is to hit & run throughout the whole fight. He can’t try mixing it up with the body-snatcher.

            If Spence's "bread and butter" is the body work, Bud's "bread and butter" is taking that away from him. What do you do when your opponent takes away your best weapon? You lose, that's what happens. There are levels to this game and Bud is just on another one.

              That bodywork was absolutely no joke.....but also not having the luxury of “titanium” eye sockets helped Spence in his glorified UK win against cracked up skull Brook....Brook was already affected psychologically - preoccupied with the need to defend the noggin’ he had emergency surgery on... Team-Spence already had it planned to tenderize that exposed rib cage. It would be there for the taking, and it was.....

                  Amen!...bodywork is only part of the game when you’re unable to repeatedly connect....no exceptional opponent is gonna give him that all night long, except maybe a new stationary row of ducks....starting with his last opponent...

                      Ragga, It had to be in “sparring” with an out of shape Mayweather or at a moment when an “old” Floyd needed the work for one of his bouts he fought past his prime....In any case, opponents in sparring usually “don’t go hard” - allowing some combinations in offense to get in on one another - for the sole purpose of adapting. And when they do go hard? Why blurt out what u did in “sparring” or what u saw if you ain’t facing him in a “real” fight (think Paulie Malignaggi/Connor)...Imo, there’s NO WAY Spence beats Mayweather in a “real” fight no matter what Spence comes up with in his signature aggressive style. Even with his bread & butter body shots....they’d be nullified from the 1st round on....in a one-sided UD....
