I thought Kell boxed very well! The weight and the body shots did him, but got 8 rounds, they were neck and neck.

If the eye hadn't gone i thought Brook would have won.....but it's one of those things. At 154 we will see a stronger Brook so hopefully he's not done yet

Re: Is Cotto a harder fight than Spence?
My concern for brook would be how long in the tooth he'd be if there were a rematch at 154. Spence is new kid on the block on 147 and isn't short of opponents there. Unless he's struggling to make weight in next 2 years he may not move up for a bit.
I don't doubt brook has the game to live with spence and give him another good fight though, I really like kell

I just don't think Spence is what he's cracked up to be......Brook proved that till the eye went.Ossyrules wrote:My concern for brook would be how long in the tooth he'd be if there were a rematch at 154.

But you think Brook is great so Spence must be decent! It was just the eye, the body shots were getting to him.

Purely down to £££BillyTKid wrote:I can't see that fight happening. Cotto can get a bigger name (in the US) and an easier opponent.
GGG rightly was a bigger name and could get easier opposition and he still came over here for Brook.
