Brook looked great - until the deathblow

[_Rexy_]

Brook is like a poor man’s Linares. Looks all good on the offense but soon as he gets hit with something, he falls apart.

He went 5 rounds with Golovkin and 11 with Spence...

He’s always going to look good because he has the talent to compete with anybody

The problem is that his punch resistance is gone, and probably doesn’t help fighting at 147 now.

Nobody has ever really doubted his ability. Even before the fight, the question was never if he’s good or not, the question was if he is shot or can make weight.

Stopped reading after that, reason being is that this "deathblow" you speak of had much more to do with kell brook than crawford.

Any other welter hits brook on the eye in the same way hes getting rocked and shooked just like he did when Crawford hit him.

Brook is done at the top level.

"Any other welter" is not beating Brook. If that was the case he would have lost to other welterweights before he fought Crawford.

well I obviously was speaking about the top level fighters.

hence the end i closed with "brook is done at the top level"

his punch resistance is completely gone. the bookies had crawford 1/20 on to win for a reason. only on this ******ed forum are people making out it was some great win, in the real world noone cares or even knew it was on

[lolpz]

Brook was on his way to a UD until we all found out (including himself) he no longer has any type of punch resistance.

He's still got great skills, elite level and could beat any welterweight not named Spence if he had a chin left.


Too bad he doesn't. He's done.

[Monzon99]

Spence could be done after his crash, we don't know the motor and nuerological damages, though physically he looks great right now. But We don't know if he can still fight at elite level. SO this is why Brook may be able to beat him now. Brook was winning the fight with Spence but faded down the stretch under Spence's relentless pressure.

He looked good but his eye won't hold up.

LMAO, he got his ass kicked by both and we are bragging about that?

He has one crappy win over Porter. Thats it. Clinched and held his way to victory. Hasnt done anything else in his career other than fight cans or get his ass kicked.

The Spence fight was pretty even for the first six rounds or so, but that's besides the point. Nobody is bragging. Simply pointing out that going 11 rounds with Errol Spence is not "falling apart the moment he's hit with something"
