    No wonder Hagler left for Italy if he is thought so little of...What do you think Spence has achieved to merit your comment that he can be compared in anyway to the Marvellous one?:eusa_doh:
    If you think he will be as good as Hagler then please feel free to send me the next 3 months winning Lotto numbers.

    Brook inside 8. The straight right and uppercut are going to give Spence fits.

    Kell will hold Centre ring and his punch selection will be too much for Spence.

    If Spence just tries to walk foresee with no regard his going to get knocked out early.

    The likes of Algeri and Bundu ain't on the level of Brook.

    I'm from the UK, yes. What does that have to do with anything?

    Are you telling me Spence is faster than Brook?
    Is he more accurate than Brook?
    More Powerful?
    Better Footwork?
    Ring IQ?

    Spence knocking out Algieri and 41YO Bundu is not am ideal way to showcase ones skill-set. Spence has been all offence so far, what's he going to do when he gets hit back by an accurate, powerful counter-puncher like Brook?
    I think Crawford is a 50/50 fight at 147lbs, due to Crawfords speed advantage and his upper-body movement, plus he's got a straight left which I think could trouble Brook.

    I don't see anything from Spence what will trouble Brook.

    watched a couple of spence's fights on youtube.
    the body shots will cause brook major issues, once he opens up with body shots, he is in trouble

    He has to get close first. I've said this before but it's a lot harder to nail someone to the body who can fight back and has good movement. Brook can pivot from the ropes and won't just stay there.

    The key for brook is keeping this fight in the middle of the ring and his straight right hand.

    Good post Kell Brook is a problem at welterweight for sure,my only one gripe is that he doesn't go to the body more often.
    Abel Sanchez thinks it's too early for Spence,I just think if Spence winds up on all his shots Brook could even knock him out,I mean those uppercuts that lifted GGG off his feet are no joke.

    I think Spence is going to knock him out. I think Brook is going to take the fight to him and probably not move as much as he should.

    I was very critical of Brook's level of competition after the Porter fight, but him taking on Golovkin followed by Spence is very impressive (and really dangerous.)

    Very interesting fight, if it ends up being shown here in NZ then I am DEFINITELY watching it - very hard to call, though I am going to have to side with Spence on this one. I think it has the makings as yet another edge-of-the-seat fight for 2017, and haven't yet seen what justifies the HEAVILY "Brook win" vibe going on here... guessing that is just the high population of Brits on this forum more than anything else, but will see how it pans out.

    I certainly am not picking an easy night for Spence, it should be a huge test for whoever wins but I just feel once the rounds get by and the flow is set he may show as a slightly higher class. I feel like in this fight it will be a case of whoever wins will just be cementing themselves as a MAJOR force in the division, as opposed to whoever loses being outed (unless the Brits are right and Brook gets through Spence with no effort, if THAT happens I'll eat my hat, figuratively speaking) - I think both guys are right at the top of the game and it's bloody excellent fights like this are being made.
