[The plunger man]

The plunger man x1 ....... my head and heart are evenly divided and i am picking brook to win a close decision in highly entertaining fight....one thing i will say is if spence doe's do a number on brook and stops him impressively he truly is the best in the divsion and a future star because no other welterweight in the world would do that to brook ...brook is a highly skilled fighter

Spence is an extremely skilled offensive fighter. But what about defensive? He seems there to be hit, but can will also hit you.

If this becomes a battle of trading punches, I think Brook wins. I think he is stronger. He looks insanely roided out and I liken him to Carl Froch, kinda. He's more of a technician obviously, but both of them, it's their strength that really carries them through. They can be outboxed, I believe Brook can be outboxed. He's a very good fighter, but he's not that quick, that he cannot be outboxed.

Erol Spence does looks like a very very good fighter. But I wonder how much longer these jmws, even including Thurman can keep making ww? If Spence can stay at WW, I think he beats pretty much everyone not Brook, and maybe Brook too, but Brook is more rangey, and will tie up Spence if he tries to get in the inside.

Spence's strategy is to steamroll opponents. That's basically what I've seen. I just don't think that is the style to beat Brook. Steamrollers eventually get rolled themselves. I don't put much stock in what Floyd says. He also was certain Broner and Devon Alexander where going to be the next big things in boxing.

Trying to steamroll Brook means it will be a war, and I haven't really seen Spence be defensive or use much head movement. He does keep his hands up, although. I've also seen him hit enough times by Bundu to assume he will be hit many times by Brook as well. At these odds i would only bet on Brook. Might do that. Brook also punches much straighter. Spence is quick, but not that quick on his feet. I think Thurman moves around better. And add in his lack of head movement, I think Brook might KO him. I just don't think Spence wins in a dual of punch versus punch. And his great skills are offensive skills that leave him open to counterattack. He just hit too hard for everybody, but Brook is better than all those guys, tougher.

You wouldn't be dumb to pick the draw at this moment.

You wouldn't be dumb to pick the draw at this moment.

I didn't even think of that! It sure could be a draw

[-MEGA-]

I was thinking draw too. But then I figured either Spence is gonna be exposed as a hype job, or he's gonna live up to his moniker "the truth".
