    Brook was doing better here than he did in the GGG fight, he just can`t deal with a good jab, but was Brook showing signs of improvement in this bout from the GGG scrap?

    Does Brook deserve a rank among the top 10 British welters of all time?

    He fought well enough where there's a valid argument for him to win a bout at 154.

    I wonder if the mods discuss .. "alright we need someone to patrol mark ant", and there all like, "hell no I'm not doing it"

    People forget how well Kell was doing in that fight. Without the eye going i think he could of hanged on to win. He was still up on the cards going into the 7h round.

    I was in two minds, but I didn`t think it was recent enough to go into general.

    If Khan didn't get KTFO against Prescott, Garcia and Canelo he would have cleaned up too

    Well he has now created 2 more identical threads informing us that he had moved the debate to General forum.
    Best part is, he created both of those AFTER posting in this one which had already been moved by a moderator.

    Precisely this, it’s irrelevant really.

    It might come back to bite him in the ass at some point but I think Spence is confident in his ability enough to take you out eventually he’s not too bothered about the early scores. Just wack the body and wait for you to slow down.

    I had Spence losing like the five of the first six rounds before I stopped scoring.
