    You certainly have a very high opinion of Brook (he is sh!t-hot) and I know you are a big fan but I don't see the GGG fight the same way you do, meaning I didn't see Kell's shots have much effect even though he did momentarily "move him back" , I also don't see Brook beating Jermall Charlo or even Jermell. I agree Brook schools Hurd.

    Spence looks great so far but again I think "ATGness" may be overstating his potential at this stage, although it is early days in his career and your prediction could turn out to be correct, who knows.

    Is it possible you are building Spence up to make Brook look better in the case of either outcome? Nothing wrong with supporting a fighter, just asking if you have considered the possibility of your own bias. Brook has said his eye has a titanium plate in it and is tip-top, he was 148lbs at the 1 week weigh-in, I don't think either will be a factor and I hope neither are used as an excuse in the event Kell is beaten.

    (I know I am guilty of having some out there opinions and usually when I am a fan of the fighter, for example I think Bowe beats Lewis while most boxing experts think the opposite, I am probably biased right?)

    I was looking for you to ask about this fight. Glad you pick Spence as I was picking him already, although I was thinking a late stoppage, you don't see Brook getting stopped? You don't worry about Spence getting a decision in Sheffield?

    It is difficult to pick a winner of that fight because I haven't seen enough of Spence. If Spence is this invincible fighter I am reading about, then Brook does not have a chance, but what are they judging him on? Which fight? Too late for me to watch....................

    As far as a decision goes, it should not matter where the fight is to get a fair decision, but I can't count on it................I thought the Klitschko/Joshua fight was judges fairly..........................but that is an exception.........

    Y'know this sounds like the same script that was rolled out to Benn when they brought McCellan over FarmB...I know Spence fans wont like it, if they remeber or know that fight but its the same...just sayin'

    Im HUGE fans of BOTH fighters.

    Brook was ducked for 3 ys from him title shot, and Spence, while failing in a bad styles matchup in the Olympics, has shown the pro ranks to suits his power and crafty combination punching better, and while Algeri may have fought a completely WRONG plan vs Spence, thinking since he took some of Provos, he could take Spences, and he did take it to Khan, trying to trade with Spence is asking to be stopped for someone of his abilities, which is to be slick, use length, quick jabs, countering and spinning out, kinda a Lara-lite is what he is really.

    Like I said, both Brook and Spence are giants at this weight, but if they can make it, so be it.

    Poor Khan gonna have to go back to 140, maybe he can get a vacant shot at a title vs Burns or Allahverdiev.

    spence has had it all his way in the pro ranks. he probably thinks he'll ko every fighter he ever faces until the day he retires. so he'll come out full steam ahead, winging it with wide impunity. but brook has top-notch footwork + the ability to counter that spence hasn't seen yet, fighting those punching bags.

    brook stops him late or gets the decision.

    :nonono:nonono:nonono

    Spence showed vs Bundu he can be quite poised, and vs Algeri, it was Chris who thought his newfound offensive prowess(out the cage LMAO) vs Khan was legit, so he thought he'd take it to Spence, who promptly gave him a lessons in LEVELS.

    I honestly believe Brooks gonna take this fight.

    But not because Spence is a hypejob as some say, is packing glass as others have implied, but soley based off CVs and timing.

    I think Spence' team truly believed that Brook would vacate and move N for the vacant IBF title vs Harrison, and IMO, ........HE SHOULD HAVE.

    But....once the gauntlet has been laid down, there's no turning back, and when push comes to shove, a very even fight will almost always go to the more experienced and proven fighter, especially if it goes 12, and Brooks hometown fans will certainly be in the judges ears all night long.

    I just put 20 (real money and I never bet big) on Brooks. I like them both a lot, but decided to go with Brooks. Probably more of an emotional, rather than rational, but he won my respect after facing Golovkin!
