    Really good odds.

    Especially considering the judges will probably favor Brook in the event of a close fight, hell might even get a gift if he wins 3-4 rounds.

    OMG, Kell's drifted again due to casuals misreading the respesctive physiques.

    Spencer had an 8 pack and the casuals think this is a good sign, rather than a heavily depleted fighter who will struggle to hydrate properly.

    Kell is in MUCH better shape.

    This might not go past the 3rd round.

    They're obviously factoring in Brook's broken right hand, the fact that he's coming off a loss and a savage beating at the hands of the P4P king and sport's premier puncher, and he also suffered a terribly eye injury in that fight where his orbital socket was fractured into dozens of pieces and the surgeon had to take the eyeball so they could rebuild it from scratch. And obviously they know there's a very high chance he'll be badly weight drained after coming back down from MW to 147 too. Brook would start as a huge favourite if not for all that.

    just let it go kid. you came up with 5 examples out of 30 years of fights, where the bookies got the winner wrong, in order to prove how the bookies arent reliable. what exactly do you think your 5 examples prove that everyone doesnt already know? do you think there is someone here, or anywhere, that believes the bookies have gotten every pick right? do you think that your .001% example proves the bookies dont know what theyre doing? what exactly do you think you proved when you provided us with the grand revelation that in 30 years, the bookies got at least 5 fights wrong?

    The late rush of money on Spence actually happened as soon as this video was posted of Brook eating a cheat meal last weekend.

    Looks like Brook is a midnight fridge raider.

    This. Bookies don't care who wins, since as long as people place bets they win. Just like Don King didn't care who won when he was still allowed to promote and manage both fighters.
