Shawn porter is notorious for being an ugly fighter who holds a lot. Blame kell Brook because an undefeated world champion couldn't defend a 1-2 brehs.
Clearly I'm being an a$$hole. For all the praise he gets, I think Brook is a lil bit overrated. He's a "straight up and down, back and forth, no special effects" type of guy. Maybe he can pull it off via intangibles, but I believe that Spence is too talented/

Brook is underrated. The only people I've seen give Brook the praise he deserves is other professional fighters. His skillset is very serious. Technically better than anyone at welterweight right now maybe other than spence ironically.

am i lying? :sas2:

spence didn't exceed expectations in either of those fights? i honestly didn't expect him to put those guys to sleep like that. algieri and bundu ain't solid fighters? shouldn't it count for something, when you factor in how easy spence made it look against those guys. we know styles make fight but, when champions such as thurman, khan, ruslan went the distance with them as heavy favorites and didn't look all that great but spence did.
Bundu...no he's not solid....hes barely shyt on the euro level and on top of that he's old...i don't even think Thurman stans prop that win :heh:...Algieri that's overrated..i don't have to explain that one

Cats need to keep it real in the fact they want the American to take the belt off the Brit because that's what it is..i can rock with a nationalistic reason rather pumping up algieri-bundu ko's as a reason why Spence is the favorite to them

Not only is technically solid in all areas he is a big puncher and is very strong on top of that. I'm just giving you the facts. There's a reason why GGG couldn't even knock him down. He's solid all around.

lmao GGG couldn't knock him down, you acting like GGG went 12 with him, GGG is slow, the fact Brook got hit has many times has he did by him proves his foot speed non-existent

the fight exposed GGG more than it proved something about brook in all honesty

the funny thing is after Spence beats Brook in spectacular fashion, all of you will come up with excuses, and say Brook was overrated, Spence needs to move to 160 and fight GGG lmao

You acting like he struggled with those cats though. He destroyed them with no effort. Thurman struggled against Bundu, that is a fact. Amir Khan really got a gift decision against Algeri. Spence took them out in devastating fashion.

Once Spence destroys Kell Brook, will admit you were wrong and that you can't see talent even when it's smack dab in your face

if Spence was being hyped by HBO you would be dikk riding him, how can be look like a basic as fighter like Chocalito and overlook Spence's talent, is ridiculous

been said i don't care about this reason so you shoudn't have reiterated this :heh:

also said if spence beats kell i would give him props..but regardless if he was facing kell, keith, or pacquiao...and even cats like porter..i would choose them over spence if spence was facing them

It doesn't matter who you choose, acting like Spence isn't elite its moronic

thurman is scared of spence, the body language says it all

pacquaio hasn't fought a legit welterweight in years be serious

you don't know talent, Spence will beat Brook in devastating fashion, what excuses will have then, you can't even admit you rwrong

Thurman sucks, he struggled against Bundu which was suppose to a showcase fight for him, yet you over look like that
Collazo damn near KO'd him you over look like that
He hasn't looked Spectacular IN YEARS, Karass was the last fight he looked like a star

be serious, his last 4 fights have been pedestrian at best, he's whole demeanor changes when he's around spence. Porter, all those guys, that grew up with Spence in the ams have been gettig their ass whooped by spence since they were kids, they know he's the truth lmao.

Lubin and Spence is the fight I want to see, that is a competitive fight

these guys at 147 are trash, porter is average, thurman is average, kell brook is average, who else i there
blow up 140 pounders like Bradley and trash ass Jessie Vargas

all the stars who made the 147 division are old and gone, Porter, Thurman, Kell brook they all damn near 30, you acting like they some young bucks
they are the best they will ever be right now and they are average. Spence is the only stand out talent and he will prove it against Kell Brook.

"Thurman struggled with Bundu"

He 12-0'd Bundu, won every round. But yeah, he really struggled :mjlol:

sometimes i dont think cats really watch fights breh..that was a 120-107 fight officially across the board..no parts of that fight was competitive and it wasn't much to talk about by anybody..now all of a sudden ko'ing bundu is something...get the fukk outta here :camby:

Boxing by nature is nationalistic and I get that. However, while I can't speak for anyone but myself, they're both Black. :manny: I don't really differentiate between a Black American or a Black Brit as they're both brothers to me. Rooting for Spence because it looks like just might be the real deal the way he's plowing through opponents. Brook is his first real test, and if he plows through him, then we all know what time it is.
