Spence: Brook is getting too much credit

Fair enough with Bizier I know he stopped Lawson but I only looked at his name after Brook was scheduled to fight him. Dan is not good enough nothing more than a punching bag.

Maidana didn't beat Khan it was close but he lost to many early rounds, Peterson one was abit contraversial first of all he was juiced up, second we had the man in the hat talking to judges, nevertheless Khan arrogance of thinking he could whoop peterson in his back yard cost him.

Lool you think I wanna defend Khan, I can't stand the guy but I'm not gunna act like he hasn't had some good wins, like this other dude was saying. Not to mention Khan is the guy Brook wants to fight instead of Spence.

 

Btw kiwi how will you be picking when this fight comes up?

 

I think the fact its in the UK makes a 50/50 if this was in neutral territory its be 60-40 Spence, right now I make it 55-45 Spence. Before the GGG fight I would have picked Brook but now Spence with his body punching, size and ability on the inside is gunna have to much for a Brook who is struggling to make the weight.

Neither man is a hype job I don't understand why people are acting like this is a mismatch, both are very high class operators and for me this fight is a better match up than Garcia-Thurman.

 

He was joking lol I was shocked when I first saw that too.

 

I think it's because Garcia has done nothing at 147 really, he got gifted a belt against Guerrero, he beat an old Pauline down and just took Spence's left over in Vargas.

I make that fight at least 60-40 to Thurman if he just moves like Peterson did, he will get a easy UD. The bookies have made him a big favourite which I don't agree coz Garcia has excellent timing you don't wanna stay in the pocket too long which Thurman can do.

Not to mention Garcias ability to make fights close and pip a decision.

 

There high on him in the uk but really he's European level at best, once he steps in with the big boys he's lack of power will be his downfall and although his techinically sound his a Mayweather or Ward.

 

Thurman has beat two top 15 guys when he fought them and 1 top 5 guy. Bradley and Pac are the only two with a better resume but they are from a different era for the most part.

Garcia's best days were at 135-140, his power isnt really there at 147 its average but nothing special, Keith is a career 147 guy. Keith has fast feet, Garcia has the slowest feet in the top 5.

Don't get me wrong Garcia is live in the fight, but if Keith just boxes it will be easy work if he abandons that and tries to trade then its a toss up because Garcia is a good body puncher.
