If Brook didn't get a freakish injury what round would he have won?

This seems to be true

Khan lead brook down the garden path and sacrificed his health and mentality trying to out do and lure him into the ring
Let this be a lesson to other fighters carve out your own path but let anyone lead you down the wrong one

 

Spence was the fresher younger less battle hardend than brook and it show in the dying rounds

 

Don't even take these threads seriously, they are troll threads by fanboys of Brook in denial. Guess what, I'm a fan of Brook also. But at least I'm mature enough to accurately assess what I saw instead of spinning it some ridiculous direction.

There was no windmilling whatsoever here. But then again that was already known, that was just a trolling comment. Here's what happened from an objective, non-biased view:

- First 6 rounds- Brook did outbox Spence in 4 of the 6 rounds, but by no means was it dominant. Brook landed some decent shots, Spence came back with shots of his own, mostly to the body. Did you happen to notice how when Brook tried to tie him up, Spence would continue letting his hands go, banging to the body. More on this later. All in all, it was mostly a tactical first 6 rounds, both guys giving as good as they were getting for the most part.

- Round 7- Spence flat out outworked him. Brook landed a few flashy shots that of course had the UK crowd going crazy, but that's not what matters. Spence landed at a higher quantity, consistently jabbing and going to the body. Spence round.

- Round 8- Some very good exchanges this round, Brook landing the more flashy punches that again make the crowd go crazy, but Spence consistently working the jab to the head and fierce body shots. Toss-up round I guess. Spence may have been buzzed but held on a few times and seemed to have cleared his head.

- Round 9- Definitely a Spence round, I think he buzzed Brook a bit actually, and continued to assault the body and landed some nice left hooks.

- Round 10- Obviously a Spence round, Brook was running out of gas. Not because he was weight drained, not because GGG "wrecked" him, but because Spence landed a **** ton of hard body shots each and every round leading up to that. Boxing 101- when you go to the body early and often, it pays dividends later on in the fight. And guess what- it did.

- Round 11- End of fight. Combination of Brook's eye problems and Spence overwhelming him with activity that he couldn't match.

Now let's go into the conspiracy theories:

1. Many of the same posters that are saying Brook only slowed down because he was weight drained first of all don't know boxing, and secondly they are the same guys that were posting comments and photos showing how "beastly" Brook looked a few days before the fight, saying that he was only a few pounds over the limit a few weeks prior to the fight, and that weight wasn't going to be an issue. In fact, Brook himself said repeatedly that weight wasn't a problem, and that he used proper nutrition and training to get there. But people conveniently forget that, don't they. In fact, they were saying that SPENCE was the one who looked weight drained. If that was the case, why didn't he fade??

2. GGG wrecked Brook- first off, it was the OPPOSITE eye that was damaged in this fight. I haven't read a single story yet or medical opinion that says that the GGG injury contributed to this one. Could it have? Maybe. But it's not a FACT like many out here make it to be. Second, most of the same guys that are making the excuse that GGG damaged Brook are the same guys that were saying that Brook was even or winning the fight against GGG, and that he even hurt GGG. So which is it?? Can't have it both ways. Again- boxing 101- if you land consistently with good, hard jabs and other shots in the same general area, that area will become affected. Countless, countless fights where guys have had their eyes swelled shut from repeated jabs.

Any questions?

 

What fight were you watching?

 

I had Brook ahead 4 rounds to 2 after round 6. However, Spence's bodywork was starting to show and Brook was slowing down. Spence was able to connect more, so much in fact that he broke the guy's orbital bone.

Without the injury, who know what would have happened. Spence deserves all the credit though. He went to the champion's backyard and literally broke his face. That's what elite fighters do.

 

WOW..

 

No brook was outclassed

 

This is the most likely scenario minus the eye injury IMHO.

 

I had thought that though I actually think Brook was on quite wobbly legs at points, he obviously was eating big shots to get the injury in the first place. I think he had the heart to try and get a decision but I think a TKO was not off the table

 

I agree with you Bro. If it weren't for the eye injury. I think he would have stopped GOLOVKIN in 8 or 9.

 

possibly 6, they were about to let him out the cage.

 

Agreed 100%. But he probably did get hit a bit more due to impaired eyesight, even at the end he wasn't buzzed or anything. Just taking too much. I predicted a Spence KO for what it's worth, it would have either been Spence decision or late KO.
