Spence ! Young, exciting, fearless....Spence !

Brook as he's a Brit

Brook. Nothing better than the underdog win

Spence, though I like both of them I've been waiting for Errol to get his shot. I casually know him so that would be the biggest reason. Can't wait.

Kell Brook.

He's a courageous guy who went up in weight to fight Golovkin, when everybody else like Eubank and Saunders were avoiding GGG.

Spence is overhyped. Teddy Atlas has him in his P4P top ten, although his best win is over a 42 year old journeyman!

Definitely Brook. Underdog, coming from a loss. I like his style a lot.

Kell Brook, he fights like one of us. Heart more than ringcraft.

Enormous credit though to Spence for making the trip.

Brook just for having the bottle to get in with GGG.

I am for spence. I like a boxer with power who wants to finish fights.

No he doesnt. Brook is a skillful Boxer-puncher.

Don't really have a preference just hoping to see a classic like I do with every fight I watch, that said it would be nice to see the title stay on British soil, can't really pick a winner, which I like, and all the ingredients are there to produce a great battle, which I love

Brook. I'm not particularly a huge fan of him but I'll always back one of our own regardless of who they're up against. Unless the opponent is Lomachenko

I may as well go for the American, but who wins has become less important to me as I get older.
Just looking for talent and entertainment.

+1

Brook because he's not afraid of fighting a killer like Golovkin. Brook also went through Porter easier than Thurman, and I do think Brook is the best welterweight currently.

I usually find myself rooting for the underdog of a fight. Usually. And this is the case here. But, I also feel Brook is being undervalued in the lead up to this one. He is incredibly talented. For me, this is a pick em fight with Brook being the more experienced. I'm edging towards him taking it and I'm also rooting for him. Either way, it's a very high level contest that should not disappoint.

I'm just rooting for a good fight as I couldn't care less about either fighter.

Looking forward to this a lot, I'm probably inclined to lean towards Brook for patriotic reasons, but I like the look of Spence and wouldnt be upset if he got the W.

A lot of people are just assuming Spence will deal with Brook the way he did Algeri and Bundu, which is doing Brook a massive miss service as he would likely have beaten both men in similar fashion.

But also Brooks team comparing Spence to Lacy is massively unfair, Crawford (pre Burns) would probably be a more accurate comparison.

I for one am struggling to pick a winner and that is why i am looking forward to it so much.

nice post.

I don't know very much about Spence Jr's personality and whilst his performances inside the ring have been quite impressive, the quality of opposition he's faced has been mediocre.

That's not a slur on the man, it's simply something to expect for a contender on the ascendancy and early stages of their career.

So I choose to support Kell Brook, though I would not be particularly upset if he lost, as long as the bout is highly-exciting.

I'm rooting against the fighter with the most obnoxious nuthuggers. In other words, I'm rooting for Brook.

I'll root against the guy that has only one credible win since 2004. No, it's not Wilder. Brook has found a way to avoid several top guys at his weight, but gets massive credit for bailing Hearn out to fight GGG for a money grab, and didn't even make it to the half way point.

Spence will make Brook quit about round 10.

I cant see Brook quitting in front of 30,000 home fans. Stopped yes, but not quitting.

Spence looks the business though.

I like both guys, but am going patriotic in the one and will be pulling for Spence.

I frequently read about fans not having a personal preference on a favorite during certain bouts. This is an impossible task for me. Even if I turn on a broadcast midfight and I know nothing of either fighter, I will end up rooting for one of them for one reason or another.

Just me?
