    It's strange Spence is almost 2-1 to stop Brook but odds on to win considering winning a decision will be nigh on impossible.

    Actually I think this will be the first time that he's fought in England since the 2012 London Olympics and that didn't end too well for him. Will it play on his mind and bring back bad memories or maybe be used to motivate him to do better this time?

    I wish Brook was the favorite at 2/1. I would make a nice stack.

    only rookies bet off who beat who, us real fight fans take talent and potential into the equation
    don't under estimate yourself, there's plenty evidence on both fighters. going off your criteria how the feck are there ever new champs ?

    Don't I know it. :(
    Betting is what brought me here initially because I was looking for tips but it is hard to separate posters who know what they are talking about from biased fans supporting who they prefer, a ratio of about 1 expert for every 100 ignorant boxing fans. A real minefield of mis/information.

    1/2 in the boxing world or in any sport is not a huge favourite by the way. And 6/4 is not a massive underdog. Especially in boxing where there are only 3 outcomes. Even in the sport of horse racing 1/2 gets turned over all the time.

    Brook destroys Spence (even a roided Spence) if Brook isn't damaged from the GGG fight and isn't weight drained.

    Is this true? This is very surprising. I'm American and I think Brook is going to
    wreck Spence. I've seen nothing in Spence's career that suggests he's ready
    for this fight, even without the Golovkin fight, Kell has shown he's ready for this
    type of fight.

    Then again, most DKSAB.

    It seems like the public, and the majority of this forum, are picking Brook, and the bookies and boxing professionals are picking Spence.

    My eyes just don't see it. Not that I haven't been wrong before but
    this one, a highly skilled guy with a proven chin and durability that's been vetted vs. a slower/but still
    highly skilled guy (question marks on chin and durability) that hasn't been vetted.
