Has Spence made a big mistake going to sheffield

Top star? Spence Jr is a top star over here, he is known to boxing fans but he isn't a star yet.

Are you honestly saying the UK doesn't have a history of poor decisions? Poor refereeing performances going against foreign fighters?

 

brook is too slick too sheffield.

 

The UK is becoming a hub for dodgy decisions especially on matchroom cards. They had GGG vs Brook a draw by the time of the stoppage, Linares vs Crolla was way wider, Relikh vs Burns, Solis vs McDonnell, Akavov vs Saunders, Kennedy vs Djeko were all bad decisions.

With that being said a lot of people will be watching and PBC have their own bankroll so Spence should get decent scoring.

 

Was Solis-McDonell in Monaco? It was still very bad and even Sky commentators admitted it was a robbery.

 

Yeah your spot on sorry, nevertheless it was still a matchroom card and just because he wasn't a name they robbed the poor guy of his victory. Yeah I was impressed with the fact Sky commentary was fair it but Hearn pays those judges to work at his show and it's becoming a theme as of recently.

 

Yeah true it was a Mismatchroom card and the cards were sickening.

 

He's a top star in the US, and has the correct promotional backing. Its transparent the kind of fighters that do get robbed in the uk, guys with no political backing. Again name a top star that has come to the UK got robbed.

 

I don't even understand this debate. Bad decisions happen in every country for the home fighter or the 'star'. That's why its seen as a slight advantage for brook, had it been in america its a slight edge for spence. You can point at the golovkin scorecards but the rounds were actually close.. canelo was clearly losing to khan but the judges had him winning? It happes everywhere... bradley the american robbed pacquiao in america..

 

Both Canelo and Khan were winning their fights at the time of the stoppage, Pac was the star in america more people knew him than Bradley.

 

That's not **** you imbecile I'm quoting what Kovalev said after the fight,"I came here to show everyone I could box and I've been robbed,in the rematch I just kick his ass".
Not my words but his or near as damn it and for the record Kovalev was boxing beautiful until Ward did his usual stink fest job and in my opinion Kovalev got sucked in tit for tat.

 

Bradley was the future $$$ for Arum and he was unbeaten, Pacquiao was already established and a controversial decision loss wasn't going to effect his popularity. The robbery worked as it didn't diminish Pacquaio in any way and got heat on Bradley, which turned him from a nobody into a marketable fighter.

 

Exactly and at the time Pac was thinking about not renewing his TR contract, so Arum made a play on him imo.

 

True but Canelos fights and the judging are in a separate league all together lol,who could forget the draw with Mayweather lol,if that ain't a case of paying judges/judge I dunno what is?

The judging for Frampton v Cruz was very fair in both fights I reckon,I think Spence knows it's up to him to leave the judges in no doubt.

 

I think that he will enter the ring as a contender and leave as a champion.

 

Other than GGG, this is the most dangerous fight in Brooks career, and Brook knows it. lol
