FMJ,Broner,Jermell and probably other champions had some tough sparrings with Spence. Drained and soften up Kell Brook may get a beating from Spence.

I hope you are right. I will be rooting for Spence. He might be boxing future. Brook's best achievement is loss against Golovkin.apollo creed wrote:FMJ,Broner,Jermell and probably other champions had some tough sparrings with Spence. Drained and soften up Kell Brook may get a beating from Spence.

I am rooting for Spence too. Offensive boxers like he is what we need for boxing not to die.
Re: If Spence is such a beast in sparrings, humbling champions then he may really whoop Brook
Sparring is sparring. Leonard got whooped my many in sparring who couldn't hold his jock in the ring. Andy Lee was rumored to be a beast in sparring. We all know about sparring rumors of Spadafora and Lamont Peterson vs Mayweather.
Re: If Spence is such a beast in sparrings, humbling champions then he may really whoop Brook
Spence is quality, he can definitely win this fight
Re: If Spence is such a beast in sparrings, humbling champions then he may really whoop Brook
Agreed sparring is sparring
We'll find out if he's the real deal fight night
Rooting for brook. He's a top fighter and good champion. His best achievement is beating Porter in his back yard

Especially Floyd got ripped by Spence... Errol turned Floyd counter clockwise by climbing into his left shoulder with right jabs and hooks and then peeling off left-handers Floyd couldn't deal with at all.. He had no answers.. Southpaw Pacquiao couldn't do that to Floyd because he had no height and no size.. Pac had no right jab and no right hook to whale on Floyd with.. Like you saw with Algieri who was at full Welterweight where Chris was drained down for Pacman.. Chris couldn't hang with Spence. He was getting crushed.apollo creed wrote:FMJ,Broner,Jermell and probably other champions had some tough sparrings with Spence. Drained and soften up Kell Brook may get a beating from Spence.
Brook is a massive Welterweight...as big as Spence... But except for GGG he's never faced a machine like Spence before. He's gonna catch HELL.
Re: If Spence is such a beast in sparrings, humbling champions then he may really whoop Brook
Algieri fought lighter for most of his career than what he weighed in at for spence. You call it drained for Pacquaio, others would call it pumped up for spence.Kalan wrote:Especially Floyd got ripped by Spence...

You're right re brook and spence though, both very big at the weight. The argument re whose faced who doesn't wash though.
Brook , except for ggg has never faced a machine etc
Well spence has never faced anyone.
Back spence by all means but if it's whose faced who then spence hasn't the edge

Sparring stories mean jack sh*t.
Andy Lee was apparently the baddest motherf*cker there ever was at Kronk Gym according to sparring stories, but we've all seen him fight.
I'm not meaning to insult Andy by the way, he's a wonderfully entertaining fighter and I'm a big fan of his...I'm just saying what these sparring legends are worth...nothing.

Spence is a killer when it comes to body attack. Imagine when Spence is gonna rip Brook's drained body with hard hooks.

When you make champions being helpless in sparrings it means you are a hell of a fighter.gilgamesh wrote:Sparring stories mean jack sh*t.

It means you looked good when it didn't matter. How do you look under the bright lights? That's what matters.
Re: If Spence is such a beast in sparrings, humbling champions then he may really whoop Brook
Sadly, Spence is probably going to get little credit if he does win. Its just gonna be said that Brook was weight drained. Ready made excuse.

Re: If Spence is such a beast in sparrings, humbling champions then he may really whoop Brook
He gets credit from me, but let's not start feeling sorry for spence here. 90% of wins people always come out after and say "he was sh1t" "he got exposed" "he got old overnight" "he was injured" "he was a hype job" "he struggled to make weight"IT wrote:Sadly, Spence is probably going to get little credit if he does win.

If brook beats spence then it'll probably be the hype job one
Re: If Spence is such a beast in sparrings, humbling champions then he may really whoop Brook
Spence already gets defaulted wins over a lot of good fighters, despite his best wins coming against little old Bundu and Algeiri.
He's not one to already feel sad for

Who should we (the collective boxing fans) feel sorry for instead then?crusader wrote:Spence already gets defaulted wins over a lot of good fighters, despite his best wins coming against little old Bundu and Algeiri.

I dont think Spence or his camp have ever played up the wins over Algieri or Bundu. Perhaps the nature of the stoppage, over the latter- due to Bundu standing up to Thurman's punches, but thats about it.
Re: If Spence is such a beast in sparrings, humbling champions then he may really whoop Brook
Eduard Gutnechkt? Pritchard Colon?
Getting credit from boxing fans isn't a problem for Spence; he's widely regarded as a beast, despite having a lackluster resume and fighting in a tough division.

Cmon now, thats being silly. The Gutnechkt and Prichard situations are a different story.crusader wrote:Eduard Gutnechkt? Pritchard Colon?

I'm talking about current, active, healthy boxers. Im just saying that it will be unfair if he beats Brook and his win gets discredited automatically due to Brook having gone up to middleweight.
Re: If Spence is such a beast in sparrings, humbling champions then he may really whoop Brook
Spence is definitely favourite. I fancy him to win by stoppage mid to late. I really hope I'm wrong because I'm a big Brook fan and have been since very early in his career.

I imagine that Spence's monster reputation would grow even further though

There's no need for the Sardonic tone there.

But these things get said. Have done before spence and will be said for fighters after him
Re: If Spence is such a beast in sparrings, humbling champions then he may really whoop Brook
Yep, that's a possibility aswell and that would also be a disappointment. Despite it not being a new occurance or the last time it will occur, it would still be disappointing.Ossyrules wrote:As it would if brook smashes this guy and he's branded another American hype job whose come over to England and been sent packingIT wrote:Cmon now, thats being silly.
