Errol Spence vs. Kell Brook 2
Posted: 08 Apr 2018, 03:25
If Spence goes to Light Middleweight yes. I don't see why he would for a rematch over Brook who he's done beat. He's got bigger fish to fry at Welterweight, but yeah if they have a rematch at 154 he beats him again, but quicker.
Brook is just not a better boxer than Spence.. Spence cuts just as much weight as Brook. Like Gil said, it will be same outcome.Switch hitter wrote: ↑08 Apr 2018, 04:33 Errol Spence knows he was lucky getting Brook to drag himself down to 147........ 154 would be a totally different Brook. It would be a good fight though but don't think it will happen
Spence kept saying if Brook wins a belt, he'l move up and fight him. Brook was saying their fight doesn't need a belt. Well, Spence will want to become a 2 weight world champion IF he was to move up.. Not just move up to beat someone he beat a weight below..
Anyone can start a fight well.. it's how you finish it.. Brook and Spence both started the fight well, but Brook was doing the better work at the start. If he gasses or tires out, that's his fault. It's a 12 round fight. I like to think Spence was slowly breaking Brook down..Old Jack J wrote: ↑08 Apr 2018, 08:04 I thought Brook started the first fight very well. Looked comfortable. Then as Brook started to gas, Spence took charge of the fight.
If Brook can last 12 rounds at 154 then I think it would be a very competitive and exciting fight.
Even if that's the case I reckon Spence might just edge it on points. I'd like to see it again for sure.
He gassed because he killed himself making the weight..... 154 different fightRuthless-RKO wrote: ↑08 Apr 2018, 08:08Anyone can start a fight well.. it's how you finish it..

I agree to a certain extent. My point was that it was competitive until Brook fell off the edge of the cliff. Before the fight there was a lot of noise about Brook struggling to get the weight off. After the fight, the "excuse" was about the weight. IF it was the weight that drained him then I wouldn't mind seeing it again as it was a very good fight.Ruthless-RKO wrote: ↑08 Apr 2018, 08:08Anyone can start a fight well.. it's how you finish it..

I agree. It was looking like a competitive fight, rounds going either way until around round 6ish..Old Jack J wrote: ↑08 Apr 2018, 09:37 I agree to a certain extent.

It may be that Spence breaks him down. It may be that Brook lasts the full 12 and takes it on points.
What I don't want is the usual drivel shoved down our throats with the promise of a "big" fight on its way.
People don't mention this enough. Brook might have slowed down because of the weight cut, but he also slowed down because Spence was ripping him with body shots from the start. Spence knew it was going to be a long, hard fight so he went downstairs early, he got the game plan right.

Love a good body puncher. Golovkin when he first burst onto the scene was a brutal body puncher, but he neglects it now. Canelo mixes body punches into his combinations very well. Inoue is a brilliant body puncher. Josh Taylor also commits to it really well. But I'd agree with you that Spence is the best at it right now. Consistently attacks the body with well-timed, hurtful shots. Love watching him.TheLeprechaun wrote: ↑08 Apr 2018, 10:54ElJefe wrote: ↑08 Apr 2018, 10:35People don't mention this enough.

He's the best bodypuncher in the game today and it's not even close.
