    Kell UDing Canelo in most viewers eyes, and getting robbed. I could go into more detail, but I feel like ****, so I won't.

    Love the way people in here act like they are doctors and experts on eye surgery.

    Said this before. Kell didn't have surgery till a week after the GGG fight. His eye will be fine.

    I think once Spence starts feeling Brook's counters and retreats to the back-foot he's going to be running all night long. I think he'll try and counter himself but he's not winning a decision in England running all night throwing body-shots.

    UD for Brook 117-113 type of score card.

    Spence seems slick to be honest but he's facing an accurate power puncher in Kell and I don't think his chin is up to the task of taking it to the front foot himself. If he decides to trade with Kell, its going to end much earlier. Kell has a great body and those body shots won't do enough damage. He was taking huge body shots of GGG and he still looked ok.

    Seriously Bundu, Algieri and Van Heerden are Dan, Gavin and Bizier level.

    It doesn't matter how good or bad they are, Brook has no issue landing on southpaws, and unlike Dan and Gavin who are very awkward, Spence isn't, he comes forward and punches, he's no defensive wizard and isn't particularly special, his power and volume is impressive, but Brook can negate those attributes.

    Aren't you a Mr. Skills Pay The Bills guy? Then why are you taking into consideration the disparity of skill level here?

    Not sure how the hell Brook is going to make 147...going to look like a zombie at the weigh in...

    VADA testing? hope Brook takes part as well.

    The eye will be fine. People looking to much into that.

    Medical science is a wonderful thing.

    Brook don't have to worry about none of that. What he really needs to worry about is hanging on those ropes like he did with Golovkin. If he does that Spence won't be swinging wild and missing like Golovkin and the fight will be over with a quickness.

    Lets not forget that Brook avoided
    Devon Alexander = technical southpaw
    Brandon Rios = good inside fighter
    Diego chaves = Semi-elite inside fighter and counter puncher
    Jessie Vargas = aggressive power puncher (in recent fights)

    Spence is literally mixture of those guys above which all present styles Brook has been avoiding since winning his title. Unlike Porter, Spence wont smother his worj

    That's exactly my point. Porter has terrible technique and is either too far away or too close when he punches, like Golovkin was in rounds 1-3. Golovkin threw more air punches than any A-side fighter would.
    Spence will not look so amateurish as Golovkin and Porter. If Brook hangs on the ropes against Spence as he did for Porter and Golovkin, he's going to pay a hell of a price.

    Those things obviously could be issues, however...

    His eye didn't look that bad to me so I think there is a good chance that it won't be an issue.

    Brook has made weight before and has a good team to help him so I'm fairly confident he can do it again.

    I see no reason to believe anybody is on PEDs.

    Good match up, either guy could win. Imo Spence is good, powerful and dangerous but Brook is the better boxer and will out box Spence to win a decision.

    Brook would beat the 4 bums above on the same night.

    Hurts me to agree with this, but I have no choice. Love the Aguirre avatar.
