Kell Brook v Errol Spence Jr - 27/5/17 Sheffield UK

[Master]

I would love Brook to take on Spence and beat him. That would shows brass balls and Khan would crap himself.

I wouldn't give up my belt if i was Brook, i don't think he can hold his own with the elite in the Middleweight division.
I think an on for Saunders boxes his head off, Jacobs beats the shit out of him too and even Eubank Jnr would beat him.
I reckon he knows it too which is why i think he'll fight Spence and defend his title - time will tell
I think Spence v Brook is a seriously brutal fight so hope it happens.

Brook can hold his own at light middle though and I think that is where he will go.

Maybe..... but the money fights are either side of 154 unfortunately for him

Well I'm not counting my chickens yet, but I hope if Brook stays at 147, he fights Spence. Now we all know it's a tough fight against a very good young fighter, but if Brook stays at the weight, he must be confident, also he'll be the home fighter, and let us not forget , he is the champion.
This is what Boxing should be about, a decent Champion against a great challenger. I know it's been a long time coming, but let's hope so.
IF they fight, and IF Brook wins, I hope he's given the credit he deserves (especially Stateside). We're not just talking about any old challenger here, we're talking about one of America's brightest young talents.
No point in making a prediction yet till it's official. What I will say though is if Brook beats Spence, I hope he then tells Khan to go fuck himself for once and for all.

Brook looked solid at middleweight, can't imagine him melting enough weight off to see 147 again. If he is able to make welter, can't see him being effective (like Roy when he fought at 175 again, or Oscar at 147 vs Pac, or Chris Byrd back down at 175...etc.). Spence is the wrong guy to come in less than 100% for, he's just so damn fast and can PUNCH!!!

Props to Kell for even entertaining the fight, though. Brass balls for sure. I would like to see Kell vs. Charlo bros and Canelo at 154. Think those are his best options and he will fight best at that weight.

[Spicoli]

Other than being his mandatory have no idea how close it may be. Really hope Brook doesn't vacate as it's a helluva match up for the sport. And secondly it means Spence would possibly fight Berto and as a result be charged with attempted homicide . Brook would do well to take a step back fight at 147 if that's his route because a Golovkin beat down tends to live on a guy for a while. You do not erase that in the span of a fight. Spence has yet to face a top tier talent but in all honestly I'm beginning to attribute that to him and the sheer tenacious skills he's exhibited more than not looking for them. The way he varies the steam on combinations is simply awesome.

Brook will get support for a Sheffield fight from the council/institute of sport/Jessica ennis and all the rest, Hearn will obviously exploit the local corruption to subsidise the show. Wish other towns/cities had so much dodgy support with our money. I suppose Romford is not PC enough?

[Fenster]

Brook seems to be rated higher by the American fans, fighters and writers than the Brits.

Spence comes across as really confident. However, i'm not sure why he's telling Brook "you're fighting someone your own size now," considering they spent the press conference arguing about the value of the Golovkin performance.

[Fenster]

Is it really PPV?

Right, i'm not watching it then. What a con.

Lets start a petition to stop these fighters making so much money, it's the only way we will stop these conjob fights, they should fight for free. Fact. Why should we have to ponce free streams? Liberty.

In fact, lets not give them any more publicity.

Thread locked.

Brook is far too accurate for Spence to get any momentum, he needs to get on top to KO him and it wont happen

Brook will either stop him late or win on points comfortably

[smashup]

Some genuine needle between them, this is gonna be a great fight.

I agree that PPV fights are dumb. I hate that you have to pay extra for fights. With that said though, this is a great matchup and is a better quality fight than many other PPV fights I've seen. Especially PPV cards in the UK.

Fenster was being sarcastic. He loves paying for these fights. It means that much more to him.

I wonder who Khan's rooting for...
