How broken was Kell Brook when Spence fought him?

[Punch on Tap]

I’ve watched that fight about 10 times now. I reject the idea that the fight was as close as some people have mentioned. By the 4th round the fight was even, and by the sixth, Spence was fighting like a man possessed. Body shots and a sneaky shot to the face in the 7th that I believe started the orbital damage.

Spence knew this was new territory and he stayed composed, kept the jab going, and mixed up his pressuring attack.

By the 8-9th round, eye or no eye issue, I believe Spence would eventually get him out. Reason being, Brook was obviously feeling the eye and started to back pedal. Spence had to chase and cut the ring off for 3-4 rounds before the stoppage.

If Brooks eye wasn’t an issue, he likely would’ve stayed toe to toe with Spence and that would’ve been worse for Brook. Just my 2cents

Brooks’s downfall was the weight cutting
Put his body through a lot and still gave Spence a good fight
I believe he was slowing down in the latter rounds

I know he took tons of clean hard shots from GGG, but don't remember exactly how bad the beating was, only that his eye socket was shattered and stuff.

So was he at like 80% when he fought Spence? 70% of his pre GGG self maybe?

The Christian fighter harer strikes again. The fight is almost here and you are working overtime hating on Spence. You have another lying thread up saying saying Spence fears Crawford will give him brain damage. You have this big time hate for good fighters Pacquiao, GGG, Spence and Loma and probably a few others and you are always starting threads trashing them. The purpose of this thread is clearly to take credit away from Spence's win over Brook. You have picked Porter to beat Spence. I have seen so many of your wrong fight predictions and you have never picked the right winner even once.

Very broken. GGG ruined him and he'll never be the same (shot)

I think the weight drain affected him more than anything.
