    There was a video on twitter today where Brook weighed in at 10 stone 8 lbs and 2 ounces, which is just over 148 lbs.

    Brook seems to have made welterweight (assuming he drops the extra pound) - now it's time to see how he performs at it!
    Public workouts are tomorrow so let's see if we get any early signs there

    Getting quite excited about this fight now. Think it's a fight both fighters need to win, Dom Ingle himself said Brook can't walk the streets of Sheffield if he loses! Slight exaggeration, but shows Brooks team know he needs the win.

    Spence gets his shot because he is mandatory, nobody is chasing the Spence fight because of how big a risk it is, so a loss could send Spence back on the road to mandatory!

    Prediction: Brook on points

    Looks to me that they have nailed the weight. No starving necessary for special K

    Guess that eliminates the drained excuse. I still got Brook by decision.

    Brooks gonna hurt Spence in the later rounds.
    Can't say stoppage but I guarantee he puts hurt on him.
    Spence is not ready for this fight

    Brook's handler's are making a mistake. If I was managing his career, I would have him take a full year off after that Golovkin debacle. Broken bone is not something to play with.

    Statements like this expose the fact that you're really rooting for Spence. You're not slick. Like at all. But why even hide it?

    Even if he makes the weight we don't know how he will perform nor do we know if the bulk of his camp was spent him cutting the weight. These are two very important questions and concerns. This match has a lot of unknowns going into it which is why this is my most anticipated matchup so far for this year.

    Or they could just take advice from a trained medical professional who says his fine to get back in the ring.

    Brook is going to be super strong come fight night. This isnt going beyond 8 rounds. Spence is getting stopped.

    spences team where hoping that the would take out brook out late in the fight breaking him down due to the weight issue. If brook has made this right then i can't see how spence can take a win by points. the telling punches and accuracy will catch the eyes of judges

    If he's healthy making 147 which he looks to be then I think Brook stops Spence late.

    Boxing politics for you, the fight was going to purse bid the week after a deal was reached.

    Think they already had an extension due to injury as well
