on paper close to it, but this is exactly why you shouldn't do that

Who are you giving the edge too? I'd give Brook a 51-49 just because he's more experienced in the pros and has been through a few tough 12 round fights. But spence is so talented he's the type of special fighter where brooks experien e might not mean anything.
Spence is with crawford in terms of they are going to be the best fighters pound for pound very soon.
But I'm a Brook Stan and have to support my man.

I see, no problem with that at all and many people picking Book which is not off base or anything but I favor Spence. I think he's gonna break down Brook by the 10th round. Brook is a tough mfer but I just feel Spence is even more talented than him. As far as the experience goes, Brook has an advantage but not as much as many seem to think. The difference between Spence's and Brook's resume is really only that Porter fight. I don't count the 5 rounds GGG fight where he hasn't got much chance from start as much of an experience for Brook.
Spence isn't reckless but also isn't too sterile. He can throw punches at moving targets as well but he doesn't jut rush in wildly. Brook is precise puncher but I don't think he has the speed to counter Spence at will.
Spence has some leaks in his defense but so does Brook. Also, Brook probably can't just hold on the inside against Spence all night because Spence is slightly bigger than him and is a trained inside fighter, unlike Porter who is also good on the inside but often smothers himself and relies on sheer physicality which when taken away by somebody he is much less effective. Spence on the other hand doesn't smother himself on the inside.
Of course there are unknown factors about Spence like how good is his chin and stamina and how he handles adversity but Brook also has some question marks above him like how well he can handle to get back down 147 and how his eye really is.
So I pick Spence by a late TKO after he systematically breaks down Brook on the body first both from outside ad on the inside.

2x...and defending
I wouldn't bet my car on a fight, especially if it was my best means of transportation.
But for the sake of this thread, you know the best bet is to put it on Spence.
Since you are a Brook stan the money you will win off of Spence will cover up the pain from a Brook loss.

Why British journalists and TV commentators keep implying American journalists think this is a done deal?
I didn't meet any opinion which would've suggested that.

The eye concerns me, if spence catches that eye from jabs or even head collision..will be a very tough night.The more I watch of spence the more I'm convinced Brook is going to win.

I have no dog in this fight, I picked Brook (i think or did i switch to Spence? I did switch to Spence), but i CAN say that this time last year it was Thurman and Brook who was tryna downplay the prospects of fighting Spence because they felt he was some lil nikka.
Spence had been barking at the both of them to lace em up but they wasn't tryna make it happen
