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

Spence broke it with his head.

There are a few posts that dispute your claim, that make a lot more sense. Still, I'll go with your headbutt claim, since breaking an eye is breaking an eye.

Ok. Why didn't Brook want that return smoke? I don't recall him calling for a rematch...until Spence increased his own worth

Body shots and pace will do that.

Also attrition and stamina is a part of the game, hence the situps, running and high altitude training. If a fighter has struggles making weight or gets gassed early, that can't be used as an excuse.

No they don't. Brooks eye wasn't swollen going in to the 8th. He gets headbutted, start pawing at the eye and it swells throughout the round. Obviously the headbutt caused it. Spence fans don't want to admit that because it takes away from Spence's win.

He was beating Spence, his eye did go.
He also gassed and couldn't live with the pace Spence put up.

But he was out boxing Spence early.

Not at all. He got away with it, so it wasn't dirty. It's a "veteran move" when you go to a guys backyard, blatantly headbutt him so hard that it breaks his face, only to go on and win with no warnings/objections from the ref, no investigation by the commission, no controversy, no negative fan reaction (sans you), etc. That's pretty impressive. Give credit where it's due

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.

Look at these dense trash "fans". One minute their balls deep on Gennadyovich ****** now they're licking their lips for Errald to fight Lomachenko

Yall are pathetic.

And Spencer broke Kells orbital w/ an accidental headbutt. Fight was 4-4 after 8 rounds...and this was a Kell who was coming off his first loss, a stoppage loss at that, reconstructive surgery, and moved up 2 weight classes then back down 2 weight classes. I'm sure that was "prime" Brook LMFAOOOOO

Anyhow heres Errald in a NUTshell

• Fight kick boxers
• Drag 135 fighters to 147 and talk about how it makes you #1 in the world
• Discuss how you will end career at 160 or 168...then talk about being PFP #1 after beating a 135 pound fighter
• Duck only relevant WW because you cant locate the crosswalk XD XD XD
• Fight retired LP at WW
• Callout retired 40 year old
• Callout - but dont respond - to Canelo and Gennadyovich

Damn hes good

The vast majority of fans didn't notice it. They ran around believing Spence was a massive power puncher that broke Brook's face. When it was in fact an illegal headbutt and the fight should have been stopped.

LOL. Now I'm convinced you don't know ish about boxing and you suck at video editing.
