    He will get caught, no doubt about that. Brook has great timing and variety of punches. His defiantly going to tag Spence

    Howard Foster was chosen to Referee this fight which gives Brook a big advantage for this fight. Foster is known for being on "The Take" and gets paid a little extra to stop the fight if the "b" side fighter is doing well but gets hit a couple times. He did well for himself when he stopped Groves in the Froch-Groves II fight. I wouldn't be surprised if Spence got stopped walking to into the ring.

    Ouch.
    Do we know the judges too? And if so, did they sneak in someone like IJL, Parris or O'Connor?

    Hard to say exactly how good Spence is as he hasn't really been tested but Brook going to struggle to make weight by the look of things. Spence late stoppage (9-11) with Brook taking most of the early rounds IMO. Tough to call though

    WTF are you banging on about ?

    Have you been living in a cave for the last month ?

    Brook is having no problems making weight, only just off the weight now, and sweating buckets in the gym, doesn't sound like he's dry to me.

    Fyi: headgear is made for eliminating cuts, bruises and broken bones. The impact is still there which is why pro fighters are getting ktfo is sparring daily. In get your point tho, mostly double the padding from the 16oz gloves, but sparring elite talents helps tremendously, I don't know if the charlo bros are on Spence and Brooks level, but that's better sparring than 99.999999% of champs, yes I call spence champ 1 week early, in just feel his entire arsenal will be on display.

    I can't get a full read on brook, he handled porter very well but I don't rate porter a top ww, tough out but that's all. Against ggg, I don't know how to digest that. One hand, he went for it but it was over after round 2, did he lose everything during round 1& 2 ? The myth is brook dominated round 2, bull****, that was the most competitive round and all but even, (expectations means even semi close round is dominate by lesser fighter) round 3,4 weren't too bad but you could see brook wasn't really trying to win, then his corner tells him (between 4,5) that they're stopping it as "soon as you don't look like yourself) brook did nothing in round 5, looking like he totally quit.

    How much did that broken eye socket zap his energy ? Idk, I wish he'd be honest about it instead of saying he was just getting comfy and ready to taken over, when he portrayed a dead man in there. Ggg did land a lot tho.

    Broken orbital bone. Don't think Pac separated his retina.

    'In a recent diagnostic, the “Tijuana Tornado” suffered a detached retina in addition to the broken orbital socket with the possibility of Margarito being forced to retire from boxing.'

    He did
