Why are people behaving as if the eye was the deciding factor?

    Listen, Spence out hustled Brook and systematically broke him down through superior boxing with hooks , body shots and devastating neck snapping jabs. Not to mention he Beat him at his own game and went toe to toe and made Brook choke and vomit on his own chocolate brownies until he knelled down in submission.

    Even if he his eye didn't give way he was getting a beat down of epic proportions. Brook showed he could never hurt Spence.

    Well se3n as brooknwas neck and neck I unroll the eye injury it's fait to presume that was a major factor. Soon as it happened you could see he was drained . Managed to tough it out for a few rounds until the inevitable. The 10th rd was brilliant come back. All this talk of no heart and quitting is disgusting. Especially by Bellew who got battered and quit by a lhw midget

    The eye was the icing on the cake , you could see Brook starting to wilt. I question whether he has another broken eye socket , that could be a managerial medical diagnosis . Looked to me as if he had a GG flashback

    To say the eye wasnt a factor is silly but it wasnt the only factor. Spence while also showing some flaws was the better man in the ring. Those body shots were more of a deciding factor than the eye was.

    Even Spence said after he saw Brook blinking his eye, Spence felt the fight was over. Round 7 was when the fight turned and the eye bothered Brook.

    Some people are simply in denial. Once they accept it or find a bandwagon to jump on, they will admit how Brook truly quit.

    Probably something to do with the fact that before the injury there was an OBVIOUS gulf in class.

    If you watched that fight and came to any other conclusion tht the freak injury was the only thing stopping a late stoppage by kell then boxing isn't for you.

    I don't like Bellew as a person, but as a pundit he is very good, he got it spot on when he said Brook quit, we've seen Danny Williams KO someone with a horribly dislocated shoulder before. Bellew was correct in saying Kell should have gone on until he was stopped, as there was a slim chance he could have landed a monster shot on Spence.

    Why don't you go watch a morales fight or better yet show Brook one.

    Its sad that you can't see how much of a con Brook has been.

    I saw my friend Tony Margarito's career basically destroyed by being too brave
    against Pac after a lying POS ruined the reputation of an innocent man
