I don't see how we can say he was broken in the 7th if he was throwing bombs after getting up in the 10th. Beaten, perhaps. But not broken. Dude is all metal.Quote:

As soon as he realised Spence had done the same, you could see in the corner it had broken him. He knew that pain, he knew what the surgeon had said and he was beat!
This doesn't take anything away from Spence. Spence was the best man on the night and showed his class as many "normal" challengers would've lost heart a bit in the early rounds. Spence showed exactly what he is!
Before the fight, I felt these were no.1 & 2 in the division. I don't think any different now, EXCEPT Spence is numero uno!
Brook is tough. He took huge shots and kept coming. I have no problem with him quitting. The fight was lost at that point and it's not worth losing your vision because you want to be perceived as tougher. Brook made the right decision by quitting.
Spence invested to the body early and I think it helped him be able to land to the head better later and wear Brook down a bit.
Beaten, broken , tomayto, tomato. My point is , that was the turning point. thats when Spence started to dominate. Good luck to Spence , he was superb. He smashed Brook and showed a lot of what he's made of.Quote:

Brook seemed up for the fight right up till the end where the eye must have become a major worry.
9th , 10th were the only rounds that were clearly spences imho
Just saw the fight a few minutes ago, without knowing beforehand who had won. At the time of the stoppage, I had Spence ahead by one point, basically because of the 10-8 of the round before. It was a damn good fight... too bad Brook had his eye damaged. It was his other eye, too. I hope it's nothing too serious.
Oops... never mind. Wow... another broken eye socket. Yeah... I'd definitely contemplate retirement if I was him.
Unfortunate Brook suffered the injury but I think Spence may have got him out of there in the last round anyway. It was great to see Spence adjust from the midway point and start to take over. This fight ticked a lot of the boxes for Spence. I'm not sure how Brook holds up going forward now with having both eyes being injured. I'm guessing a move to 154 and the Khan fight is still viable.
