    This stuff is all old stuff but to me it raises some red flags about Spence which ive been saying all along. Im a fan but my excitement is being tempered by reality. The reality is he looked pretty bad against slick boxers which to me isnt too big a deal because he may have improved by now but the thing that really makes me pause is how he got rocked by a good punch that was delivered a little off balance and seem to be mostly arm and not really putting good leverage on it. Then he seems to not recover until the last 30 seconds of the following round against a guy whos not a big puncher.
    Now this wouldnt in itself raise any flags but the fact that his team has kept him away from anyone that can punch is really concerning. Now hes going against Brook who is highly skilled and can pack quite a punch. Sure he got crushed by GGG but even with a decide size advantage he landed an uppercut in that fight that stopped GGG in his tracks. That saying a lot considering GGG has a chin made of granite so it makes you think what the heck can a punch like that do to a WW? I was never a big Brook fan but he earned my respect stepping in against GGG and Errol has got his work cut out for him big time! People thinking this is going to be a walk in the park are in for a rude awakening. Spence may win the fight but i have a feeling hes going to have to walk through the fire for it.

    This isn't going to be an easy fight for either man, I never said it would be. It's still a pick em fight a good case can be made for both men. With that said I just think it's Spence's time now he's hungry he has devastating body attack which will pay off for him in the mid to late rounds and this will slow Brook down and I feel end up being the difference in the fight. I could be wrong but that's just the way I see it.

    Almost perfectly, except for the whole Wlad getting KO'd thing, I was probably a hell of a lot closer than you were, what did you predict? AJ KO1?

    Which is the only thing that mattered, don't tell me that you're oblivious to that fact. You allow your dislike for certain fighters to cloud you judgement to the obvious. Good to see that you have recovered from you heart break. **** was so devastating that you ran from your lil gig on this website for a whole week.

    Wlad was one round away form a possible win or draw and earlier in the fight one clean straight right away from a KO victory, don't act like you're some ****ing oracle here.

    And I was away because my mother died you sack of ****. I didn't even do the RBR.

    This is no "was" in boxing. The only thing that matters is what "is".

    I don't claim to be an oracle, however I don't make irrational pick like Charles Martin KO'n Joshua.

    Spence will win. Brook is good but I was never too sold on him, he struggled with that gatekeeper brawler dude, and his performance against Porter was really not impressive at all, he spent the whole fight hugging him which kinda shows to me he didn't have the skills to properly outbox him.

    Spence is the more well rounded boxer I feel.

    One longshot didn't pay off, whoopty doo, plenty have. Where's your fight prediction list big man? You don't have the balls to do that on here do you? Its easy to act like a genius when the only matches you comment on is mainstream as casual as casual gets fodder, that usually involves a black American fighting a Eastern European, which means you go with your kneejerk preprogrammed response. Who do you have in Navarette vs. Higa?

    And what performance of Spence's has made you come to that conclusion Café?

    Not a single performance, the eye test of just watching multiple of their fights. The way I see Brook is that he's more flash than substance. Spence on the other hand is the more cerebral, solid fighter.
