Comments Thread For: Brook: I Was Beating Spence, But My Eye Went - At 100% I'd Win!

[Boxing_1013]

Spence vs Brook was close in the first half, because Spence was slowly breaking Brook down, which he did. Brook is a quality boxer who beat Porter. No one was expecting a walk-over.

How many fights has Amir Khan been in that he was "winning" before getting KTFO. Results matter. Brook can also say he was putting it on GGG before getting the other side of his face caved in. Like I said, results matter.

Spence told Brook to his face he would absolutely fight him again as soon as he got a belt. Brook is shying away from the top guys at 154 for some reason. He hasn't had a meaningful fight since Spence.

I agree with your post. I don't know if you meant to quote someone else because I never said anything to the contrary.

In fact I had Spence winning the whole way against Brook. Think I had Spence up 4-2 after 6. Some good competitive rounds in there too so Brook was doing some good work in there, but I agree that Errol was wearing him down.

I don't know if Brook has much left as far as facial punch resistance after GGG and Spence but if he is healed up I would like to see him and Spence at 154. I think Brook would be a little fresher there and a little more healthy than he was coming off of GGG. Would still probably favor Spence but Brook is the only guy who really has done anything against Spence, and the only real top guy at or around that weight who would/did fight him, so I would like to see that one. Definitely would prefer that over Porter at 147.

Here is the shot from round 8 you posted in slomo. Notice this video doesn't ramp at impact like your below. This is not what caused it because Brook came on right after this exchange.

You can see there it looks the same you just slowed it down a lot more. Watch Brooks eye after the headbutt, it swells up throughout the round, it was fine before the headbutt.

Lol thank you. I don't know why some people are so hesitant to admit that lol. I mean it's just the most likely case here but some people are willing to dig their heels in about this lol

Because it's an excuse. Your guy fought a good fight and lost. He was gassed because Spence touched that body and upped the pace. His orbital was broken from all those right hands. Go back and watch the fight again if needed. You can see the swelling early in the corner shots. I guess you could say that Ricky Hatton concussed himself by hitting his head on the corner post but that would be BS also.

You're full of it. Everyone knows what you did to that video now.

I didn't do ****. You slowed it down to a crawl and you can still see it he gains momentum diving in with his head. Post it full speed. It was a brutal butt.

I'm more of a Spence fan than a Brook fan lol. I had Spence winning the whole way. Spence definitely did some good work, especially to the body in that fight and probably did wear Brook down there, not just with the eye. And Brook's stamina issues were probably more from Spence than from coming down from 160 his last fight too, but that is still a concern jumping around weight like that.

Not really an excuse to point out that a man's orbital bone went bad the fight after his other orbital bone was broken. Just makes sense that the whole area there was probably damaged going in. To argue against that is crazy lol

Still not a headbutt. Still a clash of heads. That will never change no matter how much you want it to.

As for the fight, it was even after 8. Nobody was winning. I'd like to have seen it go the distance because it was a good fight and that's all any fan should really want from this sport.

Brutal headbutt, which breaks Brooks eye and causes it to swell.

[champion4ever]

He's making a valid point guys. I can't say whether or not he was winning the fight at the time but I do know that the the fight was awfully close before the eye injury.

[champion4ever]

Does Brook hold a title at 154? If not then the fight is pointless.
