Should Brook have kept fighting?

Shouldve hugged Spence until end of rd than told his corner to stop it.

 

I continue to be amazed at how many boxing fans are medical experts and mind readers.

 

If this was a lot of other fighters there wouldn't be a poll they would already be deemed quitters.

 

The round was only half done. Brook would have had to hold Spence for nearly a minute and a half.

 

He may well be, but high risk for lots of fighters to face him as once he recovers again he undeniably is very talented. As for the Dan comment, not entertaining that.

 

The right decision

 

Naw, it wasn't a flashback but rather a premonition of getting knocked the f==k out in his hometown.

 

Brook fought bravely. I thought he would be too good for Spence but it wasnt prime Brook and Spence is the real deal. To be honest, if the scoring was objective Brook would have lost a decision if it got that far. Brook won the first half of the fight but was getting hit with clean hard shots from Spence after 7. The turnaround happened suddenly. Maybe it was the eye. I thought Brook would at least try to survive and get a dodgy decision win. Would have been equivalent to Ward over Kovalev. But obviously he was very concerned about his eye. Possibly mental after what GGG did to him.

In conclusion, Spence is the real deal and his power and accuracy was doing the damage. The rest was in Brook's head and he was obviously concerned about lifelong damage. No warrior code is worth that.

 

Nobody is lower than Andre Direll. Weakest fighter I have ever witnessed.

 

No

 

Some boxing fans are complete *****, they would rather see a fighter lose his vision than take a knee. You don't take chances with eye injuries like that.

 

You could tell his eye was hurt before the tenth.
And if we could tell, you could gurantee Brook knew.

Having gone through the recovery process before for that fight and knowiing how dangerous that injury is, he had 2 choices. Anyone thinking he should have kept on fighting risking his sight just to give fans another 3 minutes of watching him get beaten up is mental. Brooks accuracy was gone, he was blinking and dabbing at his eye, he couldnt see Spences punches and was getting hit on the eye way too often.

I picked Brook to win and im taking nothing away from Spence, i thought he was up at the time of the stoppage. Im just saying there was no point in Kell fighting on when weighing up the options of "Get out now, down on the cards anyway, cant see him properly, cant block him, cant hit him. Keep your eyesight" or "Try and catch him with a huge lucky punch while continuing to get my head panned in and risk my eyesight"

Congratulations to Spence though, thought he was fantastic.

 

If he wanted to ensure he had normal vision and a normal life after the fight, then no.

If he wanted to seize greatness at all costs, then yes.

 

He fought for 15 minutes with one eye and Spencer's much vaunted power and yet to fell him. It was incredibly brave but even superman needs his eyesight.

He demonstrated he was the better boxer when they both had two eyes and would easily win any rematch.
