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

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.

I just don't think Spence is what he's cracked up to be even though he smashed a man's face to bits.

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 £££

GGG rightly was a bigger name and could get easier opposition and he still came over here for Brook.

The eye had 'gone' a tiny bit tender as a result of Spence smashing it the fvck in, you mean?
