I'm surprised that Spence believes this fight will be cakewalk! He has ZERO respect for Kell Brook. Will it backfire on him?

He will have some trouble, but it's Errol's time.

Yup!

Errol walks around the same weight as Kell.. most of his fights have been at the 154 limit..

He has to burn just as much as Kell..

I think they're closely matched but Spence has just a bit more of everything

I'm going to laugh if Brook comes out there and boxes circles around "The Truth" let see what happens! From what I'm picking up is that Errol could

be taking Brook for granted because I can assure you that Kell isn't taking Spence for granted that's for damn sure look at his expression.

I haven't seen anything with Spence dismissing brook as a fighter. Then again, neither have you.

I really like this match up. 50/50 fight for me. I'm happy to see some good match making this early in the year. Last week's card was a product of good match making. And I'm sure this fight will produce a lot of high level excitement as well.

Brook on the other hand is obviously a real fighter, taking on this heir apparant after stepping up two weight divisions to get koed by P4Per GGG.
What a terrible post.

Brook is going to have a hard time making weight despite what he says. He purposely blew up like a balloon to fight GGG and trying to get back down to 147 will not be easy. Spence will break down Brook in a hard fought fight. This isn't Kevin Bizier or JoJo Dan that Brook is fighting.#mandown

I've also never heard him express admiration for Henry akinwande or Andre Dirrell.

If Brook does the weight right which I believe he will ....he beats Spence. A lot of hype is around Spence and to be honest I don't really get it....yeah he's a talented kid but hasn't boxed anybody to suggest all the hype. Everything he does seems to come of the back hand where Brook has good variety with both hands and hasn't face anybody who has a slight punch on them.

not true. every opponent Spence has faced has had their side tenderised with right hooks.

I can see where you're coming from.

The hype around Spence is a bit "pass me the sick bucket" & it will be a his toughest test to date, because he hasn't fought anyone of any real note, but I am just leaning towards him.

I'm worried about Brook going up 2 divisions then suddenly coming back down again.

I think it will have an adverse effect on him, much like Roy Jones Jr when he dropped back down to fight Tarver.

Team Spence is consciously jumping into the deep end here. They understand that if he does not stop TBoKB he must nearly kill him to get the decision.

I'm not sure what you're saying mate, are you saying Spence is one-handed and Brook isn't, or not?

Brook is more battle tested against Porter and GGG, we have never seen Spence in there with someone who can punch and fights back hard. Brook

has more than enough time to get acclimated to the weight unlike Rjjr

Not one handed but must of his work is a stright left , left hook or left uppercut. He does thrown a good right hooks to the body but it comes after a left. Brook punches more with both hands than Spence

and remember that Spence is like Tito Trinidad as far being undefeated at welter. I just don't like how Spence and his team are going about as if

they are dealing with a bum fighter. Could come back to haunt them.
