Comments Thread For: How Errol Spence Jr. Became Everyone's Favorite Welterweight

[WhatDisButtonDo]

& Your ATG list in your signature is very weird..
you have Pacquiao over Armstrong but in the same list have Frazier over Pacquiao.

I actually posted "unbiased" people (Sugar Ray, Kathy Duva, R!ng TV writers, etc.) who thought Brook was going to win! Did Angulo sustain another fractured orbit after Lara? I don't think so, and I know he got hit in the face a lot by Canelo! Maybe Brook just had bad luck? Nah, I think Errol Spence Jr. had a lot to do with it!

Having heavy punchin' 2 weight division above you Golovkin steady blastin' you with a point to prove ("U should NOT be in here with me little man!!), with then heavy handed Spence blastin' you back to back ain't flurry hungry Canelo landing without planting his feet..lol...Sugar Ray (one of my top 5 btw) had it 50/50 pretty much like I did (if only there were no residual affects from Brooks pumkin smashin').....If Golovkin or Spence hit Angulo he'd be in a coma...lol! .....Lara???? Lara is worse than Canelo.....respectfully world class of course, but not known for any power whatsoever......he'll pitty pat an opponent to death.....

Yet it was "pitty-pat" Lara that, like you called it, "crushed his (Angulo's) skull!"

When a two weight division above you classic slugger "champion" goes to angry work on your face, followed by another known slugger in your weight division - it can "crush a skull" so to speak! Because that broken "skull" is all u have to successfully take you through your career in boxing.

One can argue Brook damages were permanent with Golovkin already. I forgot about Angulo, but we can both concude Angulo injuries werent half as bad as Brooks were. World class pitty pats can do freak damage at times especially if it involves a thumb. Golovkin & Spence has nothing to do with "freak" thumb accidents....they both FRACTURED BOTH individual sockets with punches that more than likely lost integrity from the 1st pummeling (the bridge of the nose is essentially whats supporting the side by side sockets)......

I don't see whats so hard to fathom about this....Brook was compromised beforehand for Spence, if Angulo fought a Spence type ****er AFTER being pummeled by a known slugger two weight divisions above him....then the Angulo argument would work......but Angulo didnt suffer any fractures or breaks - Brook did.....solid "pitty pats" (most likely the thumb) caused the Herman Munster "contusion" - not "fracture", because Lara does not have devastating power....Again, I know of no other boxer experiencing what Brook went through....Brook is the only one qualified to let us know "whats it like."

You can continue to make excuses for Brook all day, but in the end, Spence Jr. broke Brook down with body shots and constant pressure, and snatched his will! Breaking his face was just the icing on the cake!

June 9, 2013:

Angulo's grotesquely swollen eye, which he claimed was the result of a thumb from Lara (though replays seemed to indicate it resulted from a clean punch), led to speculation Angulo suffered a fractured left orbital. Many fans and observers understood him bowing out of the fight, while others were critical.

If u say so brother, youre entitled to your own opinion! but just look up your info further regarding Angulo, not some speculation post before the final result. Angulo had no fracture. U may want him to for your point to stand, but u gotta listen to the man himself and the final medical evaluation.....there was no fracture. Peace Out bruh!

I'm heading to the "Bronx" zoo next week, its alway an awesome time for me and the fam.....and the new refurbished aquarium at CI. U cant go wrong with those two spots in the summer! Peace.

Enjoy! Just don't go to the Bronx or Brooklyn sporting a Kell Brook T-Shirt! Not a good look!

Hahahahaha, good one! I don't think I could find a shirt like that if I wanted to! Lol..I'm not a die hard hard Kell Brook fan by any means, but he did impress me when he came over here and legitimately beat wild Porter in a disciplined fight..... Come to think of it, Spences body work could have did Brook in regardless of Brooks beautiful execution of his straight rights & lefts. But we'll never know if that previous orbital fracture did him in - will we? I know, I know - you know....lol!

Brook won like 5 of those first 6! I actually think the weight loss had more to do with the loss. Brook had been starving to make 147 at least 2 fights before GGG, but he liked having that size advantage! Unfortunately, there's not much size advantage over Spence, and Spence fights way different! Porter is just wild, not a great body puncher for someone that looks like Baby Mike Tyson! Anyway, the elephants and the gorillas are my favorites! Be safe! ONE!
