    pretty much every eye socket fracture requires surgery. I know you're an imbecile and a pansy, but it doesn't means that the fighter is ruined because of it. And Brook showed the X-ray of his fracture. It was a tiny one

    As I said, if Brook swell a lot more than he usually does against Spence, then i'll admit that the injury had an impact, but I'm willing to bet that he won't

    Hearing that Spence is struggling to make 147. He genuinely struggles anyway as he's not a natural welter. No real problems with Brook it seems as he's currently at 148.2or something. Hopefully both guys make weight.

    Thurman also faced Porter who is top 5 right now at 147.

    Of course he will. That is how he beat Porter. You think he is going to not do something that served him so well in the past? Spence is going to have to make it very uncomfortable for him to hold.

    It's Never EASY for Spence to Make Weight, Per Se, but he's Never "Struggled" to Do So, from what REED's Seen...

    Prior to his Own Training Camp, Spence was an ACTIVE Participant in Preparing Jermell Charlo for the Hatley Fight...His Weight Hasn't Been Unreasonably Faaar Off '47 for a Good Bit Now...

    Anything's Possible (Obviously), but REED Would Be Absolutely STUNNED if Spence Missed Weight, or Even Looked Visibly DEPLETED, @ the Weigh-In...

    Remains to Be Seen if It'll WORK, but Spence has Prepped Quite a Bit for Brook's Holding Tactics...

    And for the 1st Time EVER (Including his Ammy Days), REED's Seen Spence Switching to an Orthodox Stance, Here and There...

    In for a quick nibble.
    Yeah, and he literally thanked the judges for scoring his ''slick D''

    Porter should've ran straight across the ring and given him a harlem hammer,..:emoji_deer:

    It'll be a good fight. If Brook is unaffected (both Psychologically and physically) from the loss to GGG he will be a handful for Spence. He proved against GGG that he's tough, filled with heart and has decent power himself. Spence looks better overall, but this is a TEST for him make no mistake. He wont win this easily.

    At least it will have a high attendance. A lot of these arenas down here are really shit. Hopefully I can go to a fight in England one day. Would be awesome.

    Yeah for sure, the atmosphere will be top notch without question. I was a bit harsh actually, Loftus Road is probably worse :D

    I rate Brook and I think he's a good fighter, but FFS it's so difficult to take the guy seriously :D

    If Brook hadn't fought GGG this would be a really intriguing fight. As it is I expect Brook to still be suffering physical and psychological effects from the injury and the loss. Pity.

    I think the dropdown in weight would be a far bigger concern than the result of the GGG fight.

    We know from Roy Jones that dropping down several weight classes isn't good but it looks like Brook made the weight more comfortably. Spence looks a bit weird, although i dunno if he always looks like this...

    I have Spence winning this one by 6th round KO but I would laugh my ass off if he lost.

    Brook can hit and counter Spence but I don't think he can outbox him or keep him off. Unless Spence can't stomach the chocolate brownies early I think he'll stop Brook in the mid rounds.

    Well you tend to be wrong in your predictions so this makes me think Brook will win a decision.
