    Yes and that surprised me but it shows how's he grown as a fighter,I don't know I truly thought Brook would win tonight but that said I always thought tonight that Spence had something in reserve and that's how it proved in the end,he probably thought he was down on the scorecard and needed to do something and I just knew in round nine he was gonna go for it,I always think it helps when they have a target to aim for as well like with Brooks eye he could see the damage and it spurred him on.
    Nice gesture from Spence when he was giving Brook big respect for finding something with his eye in bits and just being dropped,I thought both these are a credit to boxing as both were tough in the build up but never said anything out of order.

    The GGG eye wasn't an issue. Healed well.

    Also @cslb its not that hard if you're knowledgeable, you should be able to take a glance, assess the match in a manner of seconds and make your picks for the whole month like I do.

    I don't know about anyone's proficiency in some league, I just go by what I read on here. I respect your opinion but like you said, we can agree to disagree.

    CSLB is a trash poster. I'm embarrassed that he and I are both from Detroit. Though in reality, he's probably from Ann Arbor or some ****.

    The issue was Brook couldn't hold on and have nothing come back at him. Spence was prepared to fight if Brook clinched.

    Spence looked far more drained than Brook in pre-fight videos.

    No. There were 2 issues. The weight killed Brook, BUT his skill brought him to a 5-2 lead on my card. Also, Kell seemed to be pushing his punches instead of punching through the target. Weight killed him.

    The second issue was Dominic Ingle's idiotic plan... You don't bank on your man being fresher in the later rounds when he had to drop 35 pounds to make weight. If Kell had come out BLAZING, I think he would have made my prediction come true.

    Now all we need is Spence vs Thurman, we know that boy Pacquaio don't want no parts of the PBC guys.

    lol at you calling anyone a trash poster. You are kind of pathetic and I usually feel sorry for people like that. However, in your case, I want to kick your ass.
