    A cut or a broken eye socket is the just pure luck, it could have been lennox who had the cut as Vitali was
    landing the harder punches, just as it could have been spence with the broken eye socket, I give fighters very little credit when they beat someone who was winning the fight but a cut or an injury halfway through turned the fight around, it's just like Haye snapping his achilles. If Spence beats Brook fair and square at 154 without broken eye sockets, I'll give him all the credit in the world as Brook won't be able to use the weight excuse.

    It's like in football (soccer), you're dominating for 80 minutes and then opposition scores a deflected goal out of nowhere, even though you were in control of the match but one moment of luck turned it around

    Both statements have some merit. Both were legitimate victories. Both could have either had a similar result or a different result in a rematch. Lewis was at the tail end of his career. Brook could have been drained and/or damaged by GGG. So yeah, pretty similar.

    TKO6 has been a cultural institution for 15 years running.

    Spence vs. Brook is a fight nobody will remember 5 years from now

    Except Vitali was winning the majority of the rounds. and Brook though competitve was clearly losing and I'm a Brook fan.. I've no idea why some people say Brook was winning.

    The worst excuses are you Khan fans who say but but but He was winning the early rounds against Garcia and Alvarez doe!! Like winning 2 or 3 rounds matters when you get KTFO in the next round :qmeparto::qmeparto::qmeparto::qmeparto:

    Kell Brook is a forum hero.

    His "Event Win" over Spence may live on in these forums for years to come.

    Neither Vitali nor Brooks' face could hold up against the thunder landing on it on those nights. TKO ending.

    Vitali would have knocked Lewis out in the very next round, Lewis was done for. Vitali staggered Lewis, hurt him, Lewis could not stagger Vitali, only the cut, by headbutt and rubbing with his head................Vitali was not out of gas, but Lewis was. What most do not know about that fight is that Lewis had a very badly broken nose and I mean broken.................even Max Kellerman, who was sitting right behind Lewis' corner said he had never seen Lewis flop down on his stool like that, Lewis retired rather than take $40,000,000 for a rematch! Even Lewis' mother told him that he got his arse beaten!

    Except Vitaly actually was winning and after the cut was screaming for an immediate rematch. He knew he could have took an aging Lewis.

    so its about harder punches when its vitali, but about luck when its lennox? i see.

    also how on earth does luck break an eye socket, surely an acurate punch does it

    it's the same as khan was beating garcia before the KO....guess what dsg landed the monster left and kod him deal with it

    or if lucas matthysse eye didnt get fkd up then he would have beat garcia.....guess what dsg fkd it up and he beat him deal with it

    or if ortiz didn't gas out get kod by wilder then he would have won....guess what bronze bomber done him in with his freakish powa,, deal with it

    brook got his eye fkd up by both ggg and spence, charlo ends his career DEAL WITH IT
