I'm not a gambler and still can not ever figure out where they come up with starting odds.
But I placed a $25 bet on Brooks

Spence has at least twice as much hype, so it's not surprising. Given the odds, I think a bet on Brook would be a solid value.

The thought that Brook would have any "hype" at all after 13 yrs as a pro speaks volumes.
Brook's corner will be waving the white towel during or after the 10th after his jab and grab quits working, and the body shots take their toll.

Normally when you enter a world champion's backyard, you have to be a bit leery of coming out on top. Especialy when you're traveling to Europe.
But Spence is pure class. Brook is just there to complete the pair.
Dropping weight since the Golovkin debacle won't help the Brit at all.
Might look a bit like Leonard vs. Dave Boy Green, when the American practically beheaded the overmatched Green.
Spence will win as he pleases. It won't look pretty to the hometown fans. Expect a traditional British riot to follow this one-sided farce.
Spence is the best welter on the planet. Bring on Thurman. Bring on Pacquiao.

I think that the right price. Being the fact Spence has looked so good and we do the version of Brook price seems right.
