    6-4 Spence at the he time of stoppage. Brook would've needed something big to turn it around and get a victory and over come those rds and knockdowns.

    You are a massive Khan fan and a Brook hater. All tonight showed was that Brook's peak is VASTLY bigger than Khan's peak ever was.

    The difference between Khan and Brook is about the same as myself and Khan.

    Strongly disagree, 5-1 Brook or 4-2 Brook.

    I thought the whole fight would go like the first 6 rounds. Brook was clever and accurate, his experience showed tonight. But Spence's youth and persistence paid off.

    Exactly. That's how all British fans are, they erupt wildly whenever their guy throws punches, whether they land or not. Always have. Not saying that's a bad thing, they're passionate. But it does influence people wrongly sometimes.

    i think the scorecards at time of the stoppage in the 11th 2 had spence to far to lose without a knockdown or stoppage.
    one judge had it in favour of spence by only 1 round so it would have very likely been a UD or MD


    people need to give spence credit, he broke that eye socket and he did it by punching brook in the eye, i cant think of an area that you protect more in boxing overall (maybe the liver). if spence broke it its because he hit it and brook could have prevented that had he been better.

    if it was the eye GGG broke i could understand the argument sure but it was not

    I had Brook ahead after the 6th round, but I was disappointed that Spence got hit a lot, he was supposed to never get hit, faster that Leonard/Benitiz, better defense than Benitiz? No way.........................he was supposed to have knocked Brook out in the first or second round............Porter will give Spence pure hell, probably beat him, Thurman? I pick Thurman anyday..............

    Absurd. These are Brook fanboy scores. You and your alt have no idea how to score a fight.

    I was probably 3-3 or 4-2 Spence. His body work was really impressive. Wasn't scoring but my impression was Brooks would get massive cheers for singular punches but he wasn't particularly outworking Spence.

    After six, however you had it scored, it became a runaway.

    4 to 2 brook. but this was spence's biggest stage at this point. he began to focus and relax in the 6th you could see it on his face, and he took over and dominated.

    I had it 3-3, but feel Brook 4-2 was fair, I couldn't make a case for Spence tbh but 7-10 I had all Spence
    So 97-92 Spence or possibly 96-93

    I don't think a move to 154 is the best decision for Brook unless he's eyeing up Cotto/Williams/Smith/Ogogo Killer

    I'm a big fan of Swift Jarrett Hurd and don't see Brook lasting against him, I also don't see him matching up well with Lara/Andrade/Jermell. Prospects like JGlass and Lubin would be interesting as would Harrison/Jackson/Nelson/Martirosyan, some good fights I suppose but a lot of very dangerous fights for relatively low reward.

    He could fight CEJ @ 160 for massive coin but that would be the final nail if he did that
