Brook's mandible will let him down in this fight once Spence gets that work in. Brook will crumble.

    Answer what? Whether Brook vs Spence is at 147 or 160? Why does that even need to be asked?

    Everyone here knows the fight is at 147....Spence has never fought at 160 before? Why on earth would the fight be at 160....lol

    ...or Spence could get Bute'd.

    Can't wait to see how this fight plays out.

    yeah thats my point. lower weight, lower punch resistance, brook was in trouble with carson jones does that mean jones hits harder than ggg? no but when the weight comes into play it makes a difference

    Didn't seem to help amir Khan much did it?

    Brook fighting at 160 vs GGG wouldn't of made any difference to his punch resistance. He wasn't just fighting a MW, he was fighting the most devastating puncher in the sport. If his chin was in doubt it would of cracked that night.

    This is where the myth begins - he did not put on 'loads' of muscle for the golovkin fight. He started that camp at around 190lbs... now tell me how can a man go from 190lbs to 160lbs in apund 9 weeks whilst also gaining a tonne of muscle? He did not put on any muscle, he just cut to 160 like he usually would but it never required any kind of water cut to get down to 147.

    The thing with brook making weight is always just time to do it, hes already been in camp for 4 weeks and has 9 weeks left he'l make welter. He's already a stone lighter than he would usually be at this stage according to hearn

    He actually did go down in round 3, ruled a "slip" bs ruling. But brook was just rolling with the shots at the end and strictly trying to stay upright.

    When that's your only goal any top teir boxer can do that. Brook was so hurt he literally couldn't defend himself what so ever.

    Brook quit and just waited for his corner to save him. Ggg broke brook and now he's a broken fighter that Spence will feast on

    It DID crack, just because his corner saved him doesn't erase the spanking he received, I saw brook hurt BAD, so bad he refused to try saving his ZERO and gave up.

    That's way worse than getting knocked out, he QUIT

    Carson Jones never really hurt Brook. Go watch the fight again. Brook was just exhausted after 6 rounds as his training regime was very poor.

    Jones didn't really hurt Brook and he caught him with flush shots.

    Incorrect, it was 100% a slip. In fact you are the first person I have seen who has even suggested it was a legit knockdown. Not surprising really given the quality of your other posts. "Khan doesn't have a bad chin" was my favourite.

    Brook has a granite chin, Khan has a sandcastle chin. Deal with it.

    NO THANKS, I did that already with Kovalev/Ward and we had a good # of crybabies welch.

    Only doing forum bets with people that I know will NOT welch, and I'm not sure there are any of them!!

    I only recall Lewis Gassed/BC2B holding their end of the bargain, out of 29 people!!

    Well yeah, he was hurt. His eye bone cracked and he was seeing double. That was part bad luck part the fact he was fighting triple ****ing G. How you can even begin to compare that to examples of a genuinely bad chin (e.g. Khan's chicken dance) I really don't know...

    i felt it did hurt him, i also remember senchenko wobble him a bit

    glass jaw is a glass jaw in any weight class but for some fighters it does make a difference

    brook's eye did crack though
