    I disagree, Errol doesn't fold

    The only way he gets stopped is if he gets caught with something huge and doesn't recover, Kell has good power but not in the level required to confidently say he would have stopped Errol...especially not with the adjustments he was making even prior to the eye injury.

    Is it really that hard to make adjustments against a guy that had to drop 35 pounds, looked slow, inaccurate, and lethargic at the opening bell?

    you have to consider the sources. one can pretty much figure out ahead of time who will make the excuses on behalf of either fighter in a given fight.

    Spence put on a great performance vs a guy that was supposed to be special and the usual suspects show up to shi t on that performance. smh.

    As long as you're comfortable with that assessment and it helps you sleep at night then it's all good. I thought Kell looked sharp and Errol wasn't easy to catch consistently because after executing a jab he would put himself in an awkward low position in an attempt to nullify the chocolate brownie. You may be suffering from a bit of confirmation biased Brook performed well looked good he was just beaten by a hungry primed fighter Saturday.

    Brook never was and never will be box office, even a fight with Khan now might flop, can't see many willing to fork out on two over the hill fighters.

    You made a thread about Brook not being special.

    I was definitely not sold on this guy before the Kell Brook fight.. I actually wondered what all the fuzz was about... now that I saw him fight a decent fighter who I actually think is very good.. he has my respect.. I definitely give him a chance against the best.. Would love to see him fight Thurman

    I picked Brook to win and felt he looked quite good in the 1st half of the bout. Errol deserves credit for beating a top 5 welterweight, he proved he was the better fighter.

    I feel he got Brook at the right time.
    Brook had lost his last fight, boiled back down 2 weight divisions and fighting for the first time after a damaged eye socket not knowing how it may be affected, which turned out to be the case.
    Brook seemed to be handling Spence and looked stronger then suffered his eye injury and that was that.

    Still I commend Spence for travelling to the UK and dont blame him or his team for taking the fight when they did. It was the perfect time for a Brook opponent. Get a fighter having to boil back down which often doesnt bode well, get a fighter coming off a loss, get a fighter coming off a damaged facial bone.

    I think Brook would have clearly won and think inside the distance had it been pre Golovkin Brook, but it wasnt pre Golvkin Brook and Spence isnt at fault for that.

    I like Spence for being willing to travel. Fair play to him, he went into the lions den and won

    All of this yet you picked Brook to beat Spence. People like you are on your 20th alt and have no shame.
