Comments Thread For: Brook on Knocking Errol Spence Out: That's What I'm Going For!

[Kigali]

People are not looking at that,they got Brook hyped up like he is the full meal deal and he is just a victim. When Spence gets done tearing his ass up, they will come up with a thousand excuses why it happened.

They're too busy hiding behind Jeff Lacey to see what's coming at them.

My god.... this kid has already turned into the bogey man. It's like GGG before Jacobs all over again.

You're hyping this kid up so much, anything short of a KO within 7 rounds is going to be embarrassing for you now. You've set your stall out, you clearly think it's going to be a walkover.

Don't come back here bragging if Errol eeks out a UD. I expect to see a demolition job the way you've all been talking.

Hyping is what you are doing with Kell Brook.

He snuggles his way past the average Shawn Porter and gets pummeled by GGG for a paycheck.

Brook is the one hoisted beyond his abilities and achievements...not Spence.

So, by not agreeing with you and the other Spence fans that Errol wins this fight easily and by KO, I'm hyping Brook?

Ok, sure. That makes sense.

Personally I'm undecided what happens, but I think it will be a closer fight than you Errol fanboys think, as I don't see Errol just rocking up to Sheffield and steamrolling Kell like you all think he will (There you go I'm hyping Brook again).

-------------------------------------------------------------- Have you watched Spence fight? Comments like yours are coming from Brits only. I can't fault you for that. You gotta support your comrade.
That said, please stick around so we can discuss the annihilation of Brooks. And I do like Brooks. Spence is faster and slicker than Brooks and fights Southpaw stance. Brooks will get embarrassed.

From the U.S., and have seen both fight. This will be the first time Spence has fought a live body. And Brook isn't the pushover many think he is. Like I said, a great fight for we fans.

Good post and I agree with much of that. It'll be a great fight, and I also think Brook is a step above Spence right now, particularly in the footwork dept. Every time I lean toward Brook though, I can't help but wonder about that eye, the state of mind he'll be in after that defeat, and the weight issue, especially having not fought at 147 in over a year. I get this feeling that, after it's over, we're all going to look back and say, "Of course he wasn't going to win with that eye, weight, etc."

Then there's Spence's confidence. He really seems like a guy who won't be denied. Very intriguing fight. Just based on talent and experience, Brook should win this but the intangibles are what really make this a toss-up for me.

Yep, the intangibles are what always makes it interesting. Spence hasn't fought a live body yet, and Brook is no pushover like many Brit-fighter-haters think, so there is definitely some intrigue. Can't wait.

The Brook fans just are not getting it.

And they probably won't until Kell is laid out on the canvas trying in vain to beat the count.

I hate to triangulate but in this case it is kinda necessary and may even be relevant.

Kell has a loss to Golovkin by stoppage and a debatable win over Porter.

Errol has stoppage wins vs Algieri and Buntu.

Now yes, styles do make fights and what could happen in the ring may be completely different, but right now let's go with logical assumptions from what we have:

Porter went on to also lose to Thurman. A clearer loss than the one to Brook.

Golovkin had a little trouble with Kell's ability and hand speed but eventually his power won out.

These two things are red flags for Brook fans.

Why?

1) Because Thurman beat Porter easier than Brook did. The same Thurman that went the distance with Bundu; Spence needed less than 6 rounds for Bundu.

2) Kell's advantages in skill and hand speed kept Golovkin at bay for a while;
but, while Errol doesn't punch like Lil g, he is worlds better skillwise and has fast hands of his own. He will be able to deliver his power in ways Golovkin could not. The beating might actually be worse coming from Spence.

Why is Algieri important? Normally a contender type doesn't enter into convos about elites but it is very important here. No one had ever stopped Chris. Not Provo, not Pac, and not Khan.

Errol did.

Inside 5 rounds.

That's the level of fighter Brook is dealing with.

Someone who is making it look easy against guys other elites had a tougher time with.

Spence is going to destroy Brook.

I just hopes Kell gets himself a nice payday 'cause it might be the last one.

Most fighters nowadays just do enough to survive, then hope for gift decisions.

Awesome. I love triangle theories.

Like I said earlier- you've nailed your colours to the mast now sunshine. Don't come back here and try and gloat if Errol picks up a UD or Kell suffers an injury.

I expect to see a KO in the first half of the fight, the way you all been talking him up. And I expect to see that against a non-weight drained Kell who looks strong and ready to fight.

Anything less is an exposure and he's a hype job.

That's what you've been telling us all, so let's get on and see what happens.

Nice how you throw Kell's weight in when I never mentioned it.

Making excuses beforehand, perhaps?

If he is weight drained at 147, then maybe he should have taken the advice of his handlers and gone to 154.

But, I think he has convinced himself that Spence is an easy mark.

As many Brits have.

They make comparisons to Lacy, but conveniently forget that both men Lacy won belts from were out of boxing a year later.

Spence isn't Lacy.

And I will be right back in here when Spence wins however it happens.

For example, it wont be my fault if Kell gets KD early and decides to run the rest of the night.

Don't try and make me responsible for what Kell does to survive.

[Wizardsh]

Kell wil be to strong for spence and will easily out box him. spence people are seriously under estimating brook which will be thier biggest mistake. At this point Spence has not shown me anything that lends me to believe he will beat brook
