Brook vs Spence - Pad work. Who looks best?

So what are the odds in this fight?

I agree. but it still shows us something about their technique and speed.

Like stated earlier it looked more like Kell is going to try to outbox from the outside and move around, while Spence is hitting the pads as someone looking to apply pressure and land power.

not really...people work each differently and for different reasons

They both look very sharp. I can't wait for this fight man,the winner becomes either #1 or #2 at 147 imo.

Thurman is #1 at 147 right now. Actually, there isnt a clear #1 but the winner should fight Thurman and that will determine #1 at 147 imo

Brook's technique looks far superior.

It's hard to say, you got different looks from Spence. Brook in the recent instagram video was throwing very similar looks over and over while moving. I do favor spence in this fight btw, make no mistake....but from what I've seen from both I'm putting it 55/45.

It looked that way but its also worth noting that their fight strategies are different... Brook is clearly working on a stick and move strategy and so needs to work on being quick and fluid, Spence is working on a pressuring strategy... Its clear from his pad work that they are working on his power shots while being in position and planted.

All in all its great to see both guys looking good, Next weekend needs to get here already!!

Excellent post!

^this.

I remember someone on the forum here posting up a vid of Brook "smashing" the pads with lightning speed and thunderous strength before the Golovkin fight. All that brilliant pad work didn't stop the guy from suffering a brutal defeat and getting a GD titanium plate installed in his face to hold it together.

Brook looks considerably more fluid and refined but I rate Spence extremely highly and have done for a while. I think Brook beats everyone at Welter but sadly not Spence. Styles make fights and I think Errol is gonna beat him down at points and win a UD.

Spence is a good fighter, but Brook is better in every department more or less.
