Originally posted by Ake-Dawg View PostSure Lacy got press, but there is no comparison to Spence in level of press or fight style. ALSO....Brook is no Calzaghe! Sounds like certain folks are desperate for an example of how the hope their fighter will prevail. Good luck. Spence appears to have the goods.
Yet being untested at the highest level was crazy. Sound familiar?
There's no comparison in fight style but there is in the amount of hype. We don't know how spence will react when he gets hit with a few bombs from brook. He's good going forward but how will he be fighting someone that's as quick, skilled and powerful as he is. We know brook can take a punch but can spence?

And the worst part? After Joe Calzaghe gave them all a sweet dose of reality. They all just turned their backs on Jeff Lacy and moved onto the next hypejob. Like it never happened and they didn't spend years blowing smoke up this boxer's ass. The majority of Americans now even claim they knew all along Lacy was a fraud. Funny because at the time 100% of them were behind him.

There's nothing quite like a USA vs England boxing match to get the juices flowing.
Isn't that right, lads?

Originally posted by Sir_Didymus View PostSpence said it the best. This chump is getting far too much credit for taking a mandatory fight. Had nowhere to run or hide. All I'm going to say is Kell Brooks opponents total 925 losses exactly yet Spence is being called Jeff Lacey?? At the same stage in their careers Spence has fought far better boxers with far better reputations and skillsets. Their numbers are certainly far better too. Lol come on. Wake up and smell the Coffee kids. I am from England and have been saying for years that Kell Brook is the biggest hype job I've ever seen. His age and record tell no lies. I don't want to see any idiots give him credit for taking a mandatory fight that is NOT high risk low reward. It is average risk for any 'boxer' and HIGH (75% split) reward. Spence will destroy him and his reputation in a single night's work mark my words.

Originally posted by boliodogs View PostWhat a stupid thing to say. So one American boxer who was highly regarded was beaten up and ruined by one of the best UK boxers of all time.Brook isn't half as good as Calzaghe. Spence is ten times faster than Lacy. I think Brook will get KOed again and this time by somebody no bigger than himself. Team Brook might as well do their bragging now because Brook is going to lose two in a row.
Brook is light years better than Calzhage

Originally posted by bluepete View PostI'm beginning to think you are the guy with the machete. Losing his belt wouldn't be a big deal these days. He'd be straight in to fight the winner of Liam vs Liam. You sound disappointed that he's fighting Spence. You worried Spence gets derailed or something?
I'm really excited for the fight a genuine 50/50 imo. I'm a boxing fan I crave competitive action hence the reason I had no desire for Khan versus Brook and most certainly not GGG vs Brook.
