rewatching and Spence did an amazing job of creating space at times especially in the late rounds.......I hate to say this because I hate watching Porter fight but I think Spence would neutralize him in a way we haven't seen yet imo...

I think that too. Porter is all about grinding on the inside and overwhelming the opponent with sheer physicallyty.

Brook could solve him with neutralizing him with constant clinches. Unlike Brook who graduated in the Klitschko school of inside fighting Spence doesn't only clinch to block the action but actually fights on the inside very well. Porter is s powerhouse no doubt but he often smothers himself. Spence was a little smaller than Brook but he would probably be bigger than Porter and with his power, in fighting skills and his newly tested chin I think he beats Porter.

Btw Porter himself seems to be pretty high on him

nikkas gotta weight drain us just to get a TKO in the 11th :mjgrin:

Brook said he hits harder than Golovkin and Errol been saying that hes bigger than Brook, meaning that hes ducking the heat at 154-160 :mjgrin:

Congrats to the man for finally adding a name to the resume :mjgrin: he dont want them problems with Keith Thurman though :mjgrin:

As for Kell, W L or D hes still Top 5 in this WW game but it looks like we gotta retire from the fight game.. making 147 is an issue in itself he clearly has no power there plus the orbital injury which means hes food out here to accurate puchers. Only fight that makes sense for him at 154 (which imo is his ideal weight.. hes too small for 160) is Liam Smith because its an easy UK fight but other than that theres no way hes banging with the Canelo's, Andrades and Charlos

Idk who in his team said it would be a good idea to fight Golovkin, only 3 guys I trust in when it comes to him is Money May (purely because of the defense + GGG's reduced power at 154 :mjgrin: ) , Canelo and Ward

Make that 4 guys actually because Jacobs was robbed :mjgrin:

Kell Brook will surely retire but hes gonna cash out against Khan

Spence didn't have an off night. He needed to work more than before and dug a little deeper but he was still determined as fukk and that body work paid off. I know it's a cliche but this is really what's happening wgen the best fights the best.

He kept targeting the body and you could see by the 9-10th round only Spence had any stamina left. He chipped down Brook's health and energy bar slowly but steadily round by round.

On my scorecards he was comfortably ahead although I can see Brook winning a few rounds from the first 7 because until then most of the rounds were close.

I don't want to come down hard on Brook because the knee. He's a fighter who has his head bashed in for living I can't know what he felt in that particular moment. Maybe he thought if he continues he's gonna go blind forever...
With that said Spence wore him out like a used condom.
His body work and inside foghting was a beauty to watch. I love when fighters can actually fight on the inside and can fight at mutiple ranges not just one.

One thing which surprised me was Brook being seemingly bigger in the ring and making Spence back down sometimes. I was legit :dwillhuh: Brook is a physically strong guy but I thought he's gonna be on his bike the whole night. He wasn't though.

Ya he looked big, he's too muscular I think, he reminds me when body builders put on gloves and look sluggish with punches

Well for me he didn't look sluggish he's a very good fighter but otherwise I agree
Ya I just watched the fight in a better stream another time and he didn't look sluggish but there's something about his punches that don't look right, the snap or something

his punches always look like that. you're just thinking about his performance against little g's slow robotic ass where he was really sitting down and unleashing bombs. he knew he could get away with it cause little g is slow as shyt and telegraphs his punches. he never committed like that vs spence because spence was doing a good job of moving his head and coming back with vicious body shots. when he fights another stiff, he'll sit down on his punches again.

His punches look the same in all his fights.
