My dream fight.

I see Spence going for the knockout for a couple of reasons. Whether it certain or not is diff story.

1) Kell could be damaged from his last scrap. KO'ing him means a shorter and easier night.

2) Fight is in Kell's hometown.

do you see Kell heart being a major factor in this fight? I don't think he's one of the unbreakable from what was shown in 3g match
Good question. Brook has some dog in him where if he gets hurt, he'll fight back hard and gut it out. I feel if it's a 1 sided beatdown however and he's not landing anything in return, he'll fold.
 
Spence gonna' WHUP dat ass.

Look, The Special One is very good, probably he best he's ever been. I'm a big fan.

- But folks seem to think that, because he looked good for a while against Golovkin, even winning a few rounds, that he can survive Spence. That's foolish:

Spence is infinitely faster than Golovkin, both of hand and of foot. He also has 2" more reach than Golovkin & in the last year he's developed a very good jab. (It used to be weak.) He also is amazing at launching an atack from way outside, without losing balance or proper head placement, then exploding out again to safety. (Golovkin can't do that.) Spence's head movement isn't all that, (currently his only flaw) but he makes up for it with an excellent ability to block (helped by his fast reflexes)
- This all makes him VERY hard to hit.

He also has better reflexes than the now-aging Golovkin, which makes him a better counter-puncher. (easily equal to, if not better than, Golovkin in his prime.)

Plus, while Golovkin surely has more power, Spence clearly has enough to KTFO anybody foolish enough to get in the ring with him.

Combine that with the fact that Brook is not the type to cover up and dance all night, and you know the end of this story ..... Nighty night, sweet prince.

Spence will eat Special K for breakfast. ( Yes, I said it. I know, I know. :sad5 )
Nice post.

What do you think about Spence's tendency to throw wide shots, as opposed to straight ones? Do you think that'll make him especially vulnerable to Brook's straight chocolate brownies down the pipe?

I think Spence just normally does that when he has control over his opponent.

Yeah, I get that feeling too.

But he does it also when he's going for the kill - which he'll try and do more often against Brook because he knows the judges will do him no favours. That's where I think it'll present Brook more opportunity to step in and counter with straight rights.
 
I hope the rest of the boxing world will see why Spence is so hyped. I think he's different class and is the type of fighter that will not be fazed by the crowd or the occasion, if anything that will motivate him more.

He was destined to become a world champion. I feel he stops Kell.

Good question, but I think Bball has it right, above. It's not like Spence is offensively limited. At a minimum, he now has a great jab, so that will negate Brook's offense a lot. Both guys are so fast, we'll probably see more of a high-paced fencing match than a rock'em sock'em slugfest.

Remember too that Spence has a deadly uppercut, and an insanely good body attack. For me, those will be the difference. The fight will surely be fought mostly on the outside, but Spence can explode in before you even blink. His body work should make all the difference in this fight. A 1-2 to the ribs, Brook ducks down to cover, then the Spence uppercut.
Good night, nice knowing you.

----

Another possible factor in this fight (one I may have mentioned a while back) is that Brook will probably have a chip on his shoulder, and feel like he needs to prove to the world how good he is. Therefore, he may take foolish chances, and Spence is a deadly counterpuncher.
 
Really can't wait for this one! I love me some Kell but going with Spence here on gut instincts and belief that he is truly that special type of fighter.
 
Brook is damaged goods, totally fucked in this one. It'll be one sided, but Kell will have a ton to say afterwards.

Easy work Brits, kiss that belt goodbye. Brook totally fucked himself in fighting GGG. Not gonna end well for Brook shit he might lose to Khan when its all said and done :lol:
