The real question is, does Spence stand a chance against Brook, not the other way around?!

This fight has loads of intrigue to it.
Brook, who has only beat ONE top welter, and destroyed the journeymen, gave GGG a tough fight.
Spence, whose best wins are Algieri and Bundu, looked phenomenal in destroying those guys.
I believe us boxing fans are in for a treat. I believe they will match up well, if I had to bet, Id wager on Brook. Spence can crack but he does get hit easily. I think Brook has the better defense while Spence's offensive skills are no joke.

 

I favour Brook too, with the one caveat that, having gone up to 160 for GGG, the drop back to 147 may prove problematic.

He gave Golovkin a much better fight than anybody thought, with some of the rounds pretty even.

He's the real deal.

 

If the rumours are true about spence holding his own sparring against the best in the world ... resounding yes

I won't put too much weight on sparring but considering Brook's best win is Porter, why doesn't Spence have a chance?

 

I don't think anyone being honest would doubt Brook is not the more proven of the two. I just think the stars have aligned well for Spence and his catching Brook at his most vunerable moment, he will beat Brook because his hungrier and more confident. Skill wise both men have very good assets, whoever can impose their type of fight will win.

 

I see a boxing master class from Spence with a stoppage around the 10th.

He can do everything Kell does but better.

Beats everyone at 147.

 

I can see a Kell brook KO at the later stages of the fight, brook has proven he has the chin to take a lot of punishment from anyone below 160. Spence isn't proven at world level and seems too confident. He may be amazing but his ego may cost him as it may make him not as focused.

 

Brook has a knack of staying in the range and doing good work, whilst avoiding punches by a whisker, very talented.

 

I don't like brook going back to battling losing weight. There was absolutely no need for this fight. Should of vacated and gone to 154. That said if he can give GGG issues and go out on his feet I don't see how Spence troubles him (weight drain aside) plus brook is just an all round better boxer. Brook late K.O or decision.

 

Spence is in for a shock. I don't think Spence or his team realise just how good brook is.

 

This.

The amount of times GGG just missed was unreal. Very clever stuff from brook. The difference this time will be those shots he hit GGG with will put Spence over.

 

The real ? is how does Kell handle a southpaw with power that chops down the body.

 

Is VADA testing involved?

 

The better question is how will Spence deal with someone who can hit back.
