    If Brook isn't drained and his eye is fully healed and it doesn't puff up immediately like post-Pacquiao Margo, and Spence is tested by VADA, I got Brook by KO.

    Look. This fight is a huge mismatch. Spence WILL win.

    Brook
    • Brook is coming off a brutal beatdown from GGG loss. Which has affected him mentally (PTSD).
    • Brook gains a lot of weight between fights.
    • Brooks coming down from 160lbs. He will have to experience Atrophy to make weight.
    • Brooks eye socket is permanently damaged.
    • Brook cant fight on the inside.
    • Brooks stamina and atheleticism wont be the same (like RJJ when he came down from HW)
    • Undergoing Vada testing not the crappy UKAD for this fight
    • Has said he can't get up for a fight with Spence and tried to look for easier fighters with Pac and Khan.


    Now Spence...
    Will go to body.
    Is southpaw
    2nd Hardest puncher at 147lbs (behind 1Time)
    Olympian pedigree
    Hungry (this is a breakout legacy win for Spence)
    Very dedicated to the sport.
    Understands distance
    Fast combination punches.

    The only question with Spence is his chin, heart and mental fortitude.

    Spence will be the betting underdog in the UK... i will leave it at that

    oh yea completely agree. but brook is in an okay situation. it would be a good situation if it wasnt for that eye. but if that eye holds up n he loses its okay. he just moves up to 154 an now hes a comfortable weight n get a big fight asap or he take a couple easy fights.

    Spence's severe gyno is very concerning. It is like 6k to get it cut out. Not sure why he at the very least doesn't get it removed.

    To be fair they've always looked like that. I doubt he started juicing at 15.

    Spence doesn't stand much of a chance, too much way too soon for him, he can't win off the back foot, and if he comes forward he'll be ripped to pieces by Brook's counters, he's never faced someone with a punch or that possesses world class skills, he should have taken on someone like Porter to get his chin acclimated to a decent puncher and Broner who has better than average power, is somewhat slick and a decent counter puncher before taking on Brook. Add to that Brook is his size, so he won't have most of the recent advantages he's had against most of his recent opposition.

    Stop looking for excuses already, his eye is fine, its not like he took a Margarito level of facial damage, he actually knows how to roll with and slip punches unlike Tony, and when GGG really started pouring it on and he started wilting, his corner rightfully pulled him before it sustained permanent long lasting damage.

    Regardless Spence doesn't hit as hard as GGG, according to Algieri he doesn't hit as hard as Ruslan, and Chris has no reason to lie, so I highly doubt Spence's shots, the ones he actually lands will be that devastating.

    Yeah because Brook has a terrible track record with southpaws thus far.
