    Spence fought a fighter who was beaten up and had his face bones messed up by Golovkin...................he was never going to be the same after that fight..........when is spence gonna move up?................The only reason the fight was stopped was because of the eye................Brook was taking his shots fine only when the eye swelled the problems started.................

    Spence shown me that he is nothing special.................he can be out jabbed has bad timing............................the only way he won was because of Golovkin.........

    I wasn't MASSIVELY impressed, but i was impressed nonetheless and he proved he definitely isn't a hype job. i'll judge him from here on out now he has officially arrived

    I know, you have told us this 4 or 5 times in a day. But then its you Tyson Fury Goat so you will no doubt be making a thread any minute now claiming you were very impressed with Errol Spence and then maybe another one saying you were were impressed with both of them or none of them.

    I was impressed with Spence because i hold Brook in high regard as a Boxer. Yes the eye affected Brook mentally as much as it did physically and i did have him up on the cards after 6 but they were 6 very tight rounds, the tide was turning and Spence had figured out what was working and what wasnt, he was starting to turn the screw on Brook. Plus the eye thing isnt an outside factor anyway it is part of the fight but the body shots were really taking their toll and Brook was beginning to get ground down.

    Lol I'm a Brook fan and happy to admit Spence broke Brook down from body shots on the ropes

    Brook simply wasn't good enough on the night. Spence wasn't at his best either but was a step ahead of Brook

    Spence did really well and is no Hypejob. He beat Brook fair on his homeground.
    He took the overhand in the second half of the fight and broke Brook down bit by bit.
    It wasn't a flowless performance, but I think he and Thurman could have a 50/50 fight.

    both guys can fight. spence is for real but screw 147 . your gunna kill yourself making that. just go to 154. same with keith thurman

    with thurman out for 6months that stinks that the ball can get rollin on makin that fight now . but in the meantime maybe we can get spence vs porter or peterson

    Kell may not have been at his very best. The weight may have effected him and his orbital bones are clearly an issue but it was an impressive performance from Spence nonetheless.

    Cream-of-the crop fighters may take two or three rounds off of Spence to get through the 7th whilst he figures them out and begins to break them down, but they'll have to go through hell from the 8th onwards to beat him over 12.

    His body work is too accurate. He beats em all at 147. Only a prime Pacquiao and Floyd would beat him and they are no more.

    Thurman is small and will get trapped and the body shots will be his undoing. He just runs and barely beats B level guys like Garcia.

    Brook never goes to the body. I just wanted him to go to the body but that's just not in his style.

    Yep with Floyd retired and looking at boxing an MMA fighter they have less reason to stay at 147. They will never get the opportunity to fight Pacman so I don't see why they would continue down at 147 apart from for the belts they have already gained.

    yeah i hate how fighters try to cut weight 4 advantage. notice the fighters that have longer careers dont cut weight so much. b hop , manny, floyd they put on weight.
