I'm not even sure it was that intentional given he was in middle of a combo but you can't really give benefit of doubt to Uz after he already hit AD after the bell earlier in the fight

Uz was winning by the way on the cards and rightfully so.I don't think AD has the heart at all to hold more than a paper belt . I like Uz tho he was impressive

Dirrell really shouldn't be fighting. He's taken multiple long layoffs due to neurological issues in the past. That fight with Abraham really ****ed him up.

Shannon Briggs failed a drugs test so I'm guessing that the truly woeful match up with Fres Oquendo is off. From what I gather Ustinov is next up in line to fight for the vacant title. Speaking of which he fought in an all time classic over the weekend.

Spoiler:
Possibly the worst fight ever seen.

I'm pumped. Looks like a genuine toss-up to me. Brits probably gonna tilt the line towards Brook which will make a Spence bet more profitable.

I really wanted him to just instinct left hook him back and lay him out... would have been so good... instead he did some weird kicking thing.

Simply shocking revelation that a jacked AF 260lb 45 year old dude is on the juice!

I feel the same way, it can go either way.

Spence is favored by the bookies though.

I think Spence wins a close decision. Fighters who shoot up in weight for a fight don't do particularly well when they drop down again at a more advanced age. Kell looked like he didn't eat for a couple of days to make weight.

Plus I've seen their fights and I'm blown away by how great a body puncher Spence is. You can just hear the damage his punches do.

bettors really like spence i saw he was like -225. i would have no interest betting him at that price although i think he should be favored. brook is no joke... that being said there has to be big ?s about whether he can come back after the orbital beating from GGG. not a good injury for a boxer. certainly margacheato was never the same

it is a fascinating fight. not very much hype in the states though neither guy seems particularly interested in marketability

They've sold 27,000 tickets for it tomorrow night. Spence now 1.6 on Betfair, seems short enough now to me. Spence should rightly be favourite but lets see how he reacts when someone as accurate as Kell keeps pinging him in the face.

Proper fight is this .... no idea who wins to be honest.

One thing bother's me slightly is ive always thought Brook does not like body shots and Spence seems to like going to the body.

Then again ... im still not sure how good Brook is ... he could be brilliant and so could Spence.

Could be a classic.

This fence is rather comfortable.

Yeah but Kell's eye injury wasn't remotely as bad as Margarito's. Plus, Margarito's eyes inflated like balloons in nearly every major fight he was in. It was bound to catch up to him.

But the weight loss is the problem for Kell. When RJJ went up to HW from LHW and back down again, he wasn't the same fighter. The effect of losing all that muscle took a toll on his speed and reflexes. He went 1-3 in his 4 fights after his lone HW match against Ruiz. That was the beginning of the end of his career as an elite fighter. Sure, Kell is 31 instead of 34 but the same theory applies. Went up to MW for a one-off and then down to WW to fight against an elite fighter in the very next fight.

One week before the fight, Brook was weighing in at 153. So he lost more than 6 pounds in that time.

So it's Awesome Body Puncher vs. Weight-Drained Fighter

The more I think about it, I don't think a KO for Spence is out of the question.

There are rumours of a Brook hand injury.

Cause on Wednesday he wasn't throwing right hands.

His quote:

"I wasn't chucking the right hands because (those) chocolate brownies...I don't want them to be damaged,"

I can sense the excuses coming already. He's got a loser's mindset going in.

Spence is currently 1.62 to win. Given the exact same set up but replacing Spence with Thurman, what odds would Thurman be?

I'm thinking Thurman would be a little shorter, 1.5ish.

I think spence is better than Thurman but hopefully we will see some day. Thurman has obv been in with classier opponents but I think spence is the real deal with top 5 p4p talent which Keith doesn't have IMO.I guess we will find out in a few hours I very well may be eating crow. I'm not really convinced Thurman is better then brook tho tbh . KB no joke if spence wins this it's better than anything Keith has done probably depending on if kell looks shot after GGG

And I like brook a lot he seems like a decent guy and obviously has huge balls . I'll be honest I want to see him v khan I do think that is a fun fight and he has a great chance of sleeping khan. I'm s pretty big khan apologist because he is always in fun fights but I think brook catches him the majority of the time . Honestly wouldn't surprise me to see khan get his dumb pacman fight soon I don't think manny wants anything to do with Crawford and khan is a name he can still beat
