    Bottom line, if a man can fight in his hometown then he can fight abroad just as well. Fighters fight! Doesn't matter if it's dark or light!

    I had GGG and Brook as a draw too. For me he obviously won the first two rounds. Ludicrous to even cite that. Lianres v Crolla? All 3 judges gave it to Linares, you think it was wider? Maybe, doesn't really matter, the correct fighter still won.

    Relikh v Burns was absolutely awful. You can have that one.

    Akavov v Saunders was just an awful fight between two average fighters. Certainly no robbery.

    No idea about the last fight.

    C'mon you'll need more evidence than that if you want to support your hypothesis.

    I only gave Brook one round, he was competitive for spirts in most of the rounds but ultimately he was getting abused whenever he wasn't throwing.

    2 of the judges had one round from a draw for the Linares fight. I don't have an hypothesis, it's more an observation that scorecards, decisions and officiating has been getting no worse in the uk, if it stops I will fully accept it and retract my statement. Like in the Solis-McDonnell fight all the Sky team were adamant Solis should of won so I was very happy with their performance.

    I wouldn't call it a big mistake. He's the challenger and doesn't really have a say in where the fight will take place.

    I'm sure him and his team know they have to beat Brook in a convincing manner in order to get the win. It would be a shame if he clearly beat him yet the decision was awarded to Kell. He better go in with the mindset that he won't get a victory unless he at the minimum drops him a few times and clearly beats him. That should be enough to get him at worst a split decision win.

    I think he will enter the ring as a contender, and leave as a beaten hypejob.

    I was at the fight and I honestly didn't think ggg hit brook clean all night brook was riding the shots and bending at the waist taking a lot of the sting out of the shots that stuff you learn in the trenches and we just have not seen spence have to ever take a shot so who knows how he will react from a top WW you can't call algeri a big puncher can you?

    Naw, what he's gonna do is tear into Brook's ass like a pitbull in a meat wagon. Break all the young females hearts in Sheffeld and fly outta there with his championship belt, bringing it back to where is belongs.

    ****.. Spence made me even more of a fan by going into the Champs backyard. That's how you win a belt, no favors, no hometown cooking, go and get yours.

    I got no dog in this, like both fighters, may the best man win. Respect to both fighters.. Let's go

    Naw, Spence has never beaten any decent Welter, and doesn't have the elusiveness or speed of foot to avoid Kells heavy shots.

    You will see the difference between proven champion and wannabe after 5 or 6 rounds.

    Nothing proven about Brook, The only thing that he has proved to me is that he makes bad decisions. Even with Spence's youth and lack of fights, Brook has never faced anyone of his stature in the welterweight division. As for heavy shots, well that's a two way street and it's worse for Brook because Spence is a body assassin. Brook ass is in trouble.
