    • But but Brooke's eye wasn't healed properly doe.
    • But but the ref stopped the fight too early.
    • But he went up and down a weight class and that ruined him just like Roy Jones.
    • But but he was drained.
    • But but the ring was too small.

    I know that Spence is gonna make Brooke take several knees on saturday night so lets get all the excuses out of the way beforehand.

    You think Spence hits harder than GGG?
    I'm not taking anything away from Spence as he looks the real deal but as a one time doubter of Brook I'll never doubt him again,his movement is superb,his jab is very solid and his straight right and uppercut had Porter looking very average that night and to answer your question I hope both these guys gets the respect they deserve regardless of the result,Spence deserves credit for travelling into Brooks backyard and Brook credit for not shirking a challenge when all round him were telling him to move up

    I'm picking Brook but all the excuses I've been seeing are making me lean towards Spence.

    These guys are already saying Brook wins easy if he makes the weight properly

    Spence is cutting just as much weight as Brook, Brook didn't bulk up to 176 he was just fat!!!!!
    Spence is probably slightly bigger than Brook naturally so that excuse is pathetic

    Brook is just a step up.
    Thurman is where its at.
    Spence will wreck the entire division.

    Re-watch Brookes fight against GGG. It wasnt headshots that started the beating that resulted in the stoppage, it was a left hook to the body.
    Brook has a strong chin so a headhunter like GGG in that fight wouldnt knock him down unless the fight continued into the later rounds, if GGG focused on the body then Brooke would have taken a knee.

    Now Spence is the quintessential body puncher and he will hurt brook really bad to the body and get a late stoppage. Unfortunately, Brooke might even retire after this fight.

    GGG did get a KD that wasn't awarded and Brook quit while he still had something left
    Brook was fading and GGG was just starting to catch him, Brook would have been stopped brutally if he wasn't pulled.

    It wasn't a knockdown it was a slip, and Brook didn't quit his corner threw the towel in. He had a potentially career ending injury and his corner did the right thing. Brook was fading because of the injury.

    His brownie didn't have the right quantity of chocolate.

    Brook told his corner he couldn't see properly hoping they would pull him and then started running for his life and trying to survive.

    Like you say Brook was getting a career ending hiding had it lasted a bit longer, he will get the same against Spence.

    If that shot Lartey hurt him with was a chocolate brownie Spence would've been sucking the canvas like Pacquiao

    I know you're a big brook fan, but what is your honest outcome of this fight. No trolling just what you truly think. I honestly believe Spence runs through Brook. Brook will have his moments but I think Spence will dominate, possible robbery though.

    I would have picked Brook if wasn't for the weight issue. He's more experienced and I believe he has the more polished skills.

    HOWEVER Brook weighed 176 a few weeks before the GGG fight FFS. He took a beating and now has to go all the way down to 147 to eat body shots from a vicious puncher? Don't think so. Spence will brutalize him.
