Why are my fellow UK peeps getting gassed on Brook?

[Earl-Hickey]

I haven't seen a reaction like this from the UK fans for a good while, and I don't understand why it's Brook of all people bringing it on.

I have never been overly impressed with Brook and his best win remains scraping by Shawn Porter.

I think you guys are setting yourselves up for a fall here, Errol likely gives Kell the business and you all end up looking like mugs.

... I felt Porter's hype back then... as many thought that he was the future of WW... But Brook nullified him quite easily...

Egg on your face Saturday night Mr. Hickey sir.

I don't know that I'm "gassed" on him. Good fighter, though. If he hadn't been given a shoeing by GGG 9 months ago he'd be a slight favourite.

I think most of the overt Rule Britannia chit on here is just a reaction to the usual tidal wave of jingoistic crap from our friends across the pond.

You've made some pretty big statements about Spence for this fight too so your last point applies to you and spence fans also. A lot of US fans are getting behind Spence and now the UK fans are getting behind Brook, it's patriotism at this moment in time, I want Brook to win to shut these cucks up & also because Brook just seems like a normal lad (with a camp voice) he's got very good skills and could be the #1 WW in the world, it'll be a close fight but I hope our boy wins.

I hink it's 50/50 I just HOPE Brook wins.

Porter nullifies himself by smothering his own punches.

I like how split people are on this fight. We're all guessing. Anybody really believe that they are secured in a bet here?

[Motorcity Cobra]

Because they're supporting their own. Something my fellow Americans don't do. It's good they do it because it creates a rivalry. Rivalry in sports is a good thing.

Amen to that.

On average the English fans vastly overrated their boxers when comparing them to good boxers from other countries. It's an English tradition.Pick your fellow Englishman to win against the odds and logic.
