How broken was Kell Brook when Spence fought him?

[HandsofIron]

GGG ruined Brook's career.

Wasn't it an accidental headbutt that crushed the other eye socket in that fight?

I thought someone had some video evidence to support the theory.

Dont forget ALL the weight he had to cut to make the Spence defense AND his face already being broken down by a middleweight.

Brook looked very game against Spence. I was impressed with his fighting spirit, and with his twitchy speed in close quarters.

But his work didn't have much consequence. He landed on Spence, and stung him a little, but the shots weren't powerful enough to slow him down or back him off.

Not sure why not. Probably he ran out of steam, which as other posters have noted, could be from coming back down in weight, or possibly from knowing in his heart that he CAN be damaged.

Anyway, I liked Brook's activity, but it didn't deliver enough pain to Spence, who is a big, strong welter for sure.

Still better than anyone Terrence Crawford has ever fought

I'm a Golovkin fan but I didn't want to see that fight.



Golovkin took a lot out of Brook. He was a good fighter, he would have sent Khan to ****ing Jupiter if they fought

Some had him winning in the Spence fight until it got stopped.

I thought that Brook gave a good account of himself but got broken down by the better fighter.

I had Brook ahead until Spence headbutted him and ****ed his other eye (it was a clash tho fair enough), Brook didn't look very broken until that point at all.

Made Spence look pretty ordinary.

Not very i'd say. I think the Spence loss had a bigger impact. Especially emotionally,

Brook always struggled to make 147, nevermind coming off a fight at 160 and taking a beating from GGG.

Brook at his best may have been too much for Spence then. Spence is lucky he caught Brook when he did. That said, Spence still needs credit for the win because even that version of Brook would’ve beaten most welterweights.

I don’t think we ever got to see the best of Brook. He never really got momentum after beating Porter because of the stabbing and being given rubbish mandatories by the IBF, then once he got those mandatories out of the way, he got put in with GGG at Middleweight.

I think Brook would’ve been a real force at welterweight and 154 if not for those incidents and then moving up to fight GGG.
