"You Can Only Avoid The Truth For So Long" Brook v Spence SHOWTIME 5/27 Fight Thread

[theflyest]

This is my most anticipated fight of 2017, and that includes the big fight in September.

He caught him with some good shots but I dont remember him really be "hurt". At the top level, Keith aint knocking anybody out like he did earlier in his career. Neither is Swift. Keith is a good boxer puncher and I think I was one of the few people who praised him for his underrated boxing ability a few years ago. This is why I was high on him. Its just that now....its going to be tough for him. He is clearly the man at 147 with the wins over Swift and Porter, but I dont think he is going to remain on top for long is all. I am really hoping he fights Spence or Crawford in the next 18 months.

Yeah the thing with Keith is that he's definitely an elite WW, but he isn't a DOMINATE WW. The way it looks at WW, all these guys are going to beat each other up.

Based on the eye test, Spence looks like he could be that dominant WW. The type of guy that completely outclasses elite opposition. However, we really don't know. Just being logical, we haven't seen him in there with elite competition. We need to know if he has the type chin necessary for a top tier fighter.

50/50 fight. I don't like making predictions based on potential. I like what I see from Spence though.

Spence got this, Brooks a good boxer but hes not elite. This kid Spence...I think him and Crawford got next, theyre the ones coming closest to replacing what boxing lost with Floyd

Spence still has alot to prove and I think he will, I agree Thurmans the most proven and has the best resume. I think time will tell that hes a step down from that elite level

Credit to Brook for finally taking the fight

Ya'll prolly expected me to rag on Brook but he's finally taken the fight

Yes Brook has an extensive history of pulling out of fights, even as late as a week before

But he's taken the fight

Yes Brook exhausted every option to keep his belt without facing Spence

But he's taken the fight

Which means Brook has finally accepted the truth that he and his ribs are the chosen ones

The ones chosen to springboard Errol Spence Jr into the championship realm


to Brook for finally accepting the truth

Brook's swansong in fronta 30k hometown fans will be the beginning of something truly Special

Both made the 2nd weigh in

Kell Brook has weighed in at 156.9lbs for his IBF world title fight with Errol Spence, who was 155.8lbs on the check weigh-ins.

Both fighters are only allowed to put on 10lbs between Friday's weigh-in and Saturday's check call.

Brook returns to the welterweight division since gaining 13lbs for his most recent fight - a fifth round stoppage at the hands of middleweight king Gennady Golovkin in September.

"You can imagine I'm a big guy so it's been very difficult but I've stuck to the plan, absolutely 100 per cent," Brook said.

"I've been monitored all the way and I feel very good now."

The American challenger tipped the scales at around 8am and was happy with the number he posted ahead of Saturday night's bout at Bramall Lane, live on Sky Sports Box Office.

"I feel strong, happy," Spence Jr said. "I've eaten, I've fuelled up. I've been down at 147 for a while now so my body has adjusted to it.

"Ten pounds is good for me; I won't feel sluggish and I'm still fast and strong.

Errol Spence Jr has weighed in for his IBF world title fight with Kell Brook at 155.8lbs
"I know that my time is tonight and I won't waste any energy today, I'll stay cool. I don't let anything get under my skin and I won't be distracted from my game plan tonight."
