    I think Spence was right when he says it will be an electrifying experience for him as well as Kell.

    If I was a young, hungry boxer like Spence I'd want to fight in a cauldron in Sheffield against a lad with a funny accent.

    (btw, I like Sheffield, it's cool town)

    So if his mandatory was kevin bizier or somebody of this level would you say the same thing or would you say hes fighting another terrible mandatory? He already faced 2 mandatorys and got criticised for them, i didnt see anybody saying well done kell doing what you should be doing fighting your mandos..

    It goes both ways, people can't ***** constantly about bias American judging but then turn around and be irritated when someone brings up bias judging against foreign fighers in the UK or Europe. You telling anyone not to be so bias is a riot.

    Hopefully their styles make for a great fight... I have my doubts tho. Both fighters can make this a negative fight

    What do you mean "so if" lmao. If he's been fighting his mandatories then i have no problem with him. I don't criticize fighters for fighting their mandatories no matter who they are. That's the right thing to do in boxing unless a big money fight comes up, then i do excuse the champ so long as he doesn't forget that he has a mandatory. The above said doesn't make sense.

    Spence WILL be ****ed by the british judges. The most corrupt body in boxing. He HAS to take it out of their hands.

    The travel won't make it easy, but thats no excuse. He has to jump right into the blender and start ripping the body early like his career depends on it! Kell will be weakened by the weight cut. There is no question that it will take a toll on him. Kell's on the wrong side of 30 now so that won't be easy at all.

    Spence will lose the early rounds to Brook who will be sharp with the right-hand up the middle on the leftie as he fights off the back foot. As long as Spence is forcing a rabid pace and investing to the body HE WILL STOP BROOK BRUTALLY late in the fight.

    I wasn't specifically saying you had..I just think in general its funny how when somebody has what we perceive to be a tough mandatory they get praised for taking it but if they have an easy mandatory they get criticised. Brook has been heavily criticised for his level of competition yet 2 his last 3 fights at welterweight were mandatories and now there is spence which makes it 3/4 were mandos.. My point is if he was now facing somebody of the level of bizier (who was his madatory) he would be getting criticised for taking easy fights again...

    i know lol. If Brook has been fighting his mandatories then that's what champions do. They can only say that he's ducking unification fights and you really can't duck those fights unless the WW division has been cleaned out. The WW division is still live so Brook is doing what a champion does-fight his mandatories.

    So the IBF will appoint three hand picked British judges for an IBF World Title fight ?

    This place gets worse.

    There will be no need for Judges.

    Brooks straight right lead will be Spence's undoing, and i fully expect Brooks ramrod jab to put Spence in his shell within a couple of rounds.

    Nice to see all the Spence fanboys collating their pre fight excuses, but what excuse will you use when Errol gets stopped ?
