I was gonna save my prediction till it was made official, but I can't see it not happening now. It's a great matchup , very much a 50/50 fight. But I'm gonna go with the Champion , who should be at his peak and in his own back yard. Brook won't lose a points decision, and I don't see Spence getting him out of there.
I hold Spence in very high regard and a lesser champion, he may well have wiped the floor with. But Brook is no mug and I could see him beating any current WW.
I hope if Brook does win, he is given the respect he deserves Stateside, because this is no ordinary up and coming fighter, in the US he is regarded as the new Golden Boy.
for someone who slags off PPV's in the UK, I have to say I am definitely paying for this one.
Finally , people are saying that both fighters should be given credit for taking the fight. I don't go along with that. Both fighters are doing what they should do. The Champion is defending against his mandatory as he should , and the Challenger is coming over to the Champion's Country to challenge for the title. That's exactly how it should work. The only reason we are all giving them credit is because most Champions don't do it, which is a fucking disgrace if you ask me.
Bring it on I say!
