    nobody is picking Brook to have a chance............................

    I haven't seen Spence fight, except few rounds, he is supposed to be the greatest welterweight in boxing history, biggest puncher in boxing, faster than Ray Leonard. My problem is that, to me, he doesn't have the experience to be so perfect, they say it's impossible to hit him. Spence is supposed to win by early knockout, perhaps the first round! Damn, I can't wait to see such a fighter, although I would like to see it go a few rounds, hate one-sided fights......................for some reason I have a gut feeling that Brook might win this fight in spite of all the experts. According to the article I just read, 100% of the experts are picking Spence to win a one sided fight, Brook has no chance..........................I just did not know that he was that good.........................however, those were American fighters who were picking him, so they could be biased......................wonder if anyone from the UK is picking Brook to have a chance.............also read that Spence was the best amateur to fight in the Olympics................don't know that either. Did he win the gold?

    It seems most of the Brits are picking Brook to win but are putting their hard earned on Spence which is why he keeps shortening.

    I can get 6/4 on Brook, anyone seen any wider. Will put a chunk of change on Brook regardless, these odds are too good to pass up.

    No mate, those are the casuals believing the hype. Who has Spence beaten to justify these accolades? Bundu & Algieri....OK.

    Got a good sum of cash on brook, great I get decent odds.

    You touched on the valid point, that being the experience of Spence. They may both be equally skilled , but Brook seems a little more polished than Spence. Don't know if this will make much of a difference. Personally I can't call it. Just hope it's a good fight and every body comes out ok, if you know what I mean.

    The odds are pretty close to even the last time I checked with GGG-Canelo.:lol:

    Spence has to go in there with the mindset that he can't win a decision in Brook's hometown. It's a tall order, but I think he has the ability to do it.

    It's great just to see all the top WW's starting to fight each other now. I'd like to see Porter take on Garcia while Thurman takes on the winner of this matchup. The best fighting the best.

    Lumping 100 quid on Brook decision, almost 500 back with Marathon bet. Odds too good to turn down.

    Not bad odds and I'll have a saver on the decision but I just can't make a case for Spencer going 12 rounds. He looks drained, he gets stiffened by single shots, the relentless barrage he'll receive on Saturday will be far too much for him.

    Brook by stoppage in R8 or later.

    Brook looks good value @2.8 on Betfair and I think people are forgetting he's comfortable against southpaws.

    Bookies know boxing only too well, if Canelo is standing at the bell he will get a favourable decision. (Big 'If' I know)
