1.5u Spence-Brook un10.5 +125

I talked my way out of the hospy for this one b/c this shit is gonna be a fun fucking fight. Not a boxing match, it's gonna a be a fucking fight. I really believe somebody's getting bodied here. Spence has only one gear and it's kill or be killed. We saw how tough Brook was against GGG and he showed he had some pop in that fight despite being the smaller guy and outgunned like crazy.

Both Spence and Brook are hittable as well (I actually thought Bundu might've buzzed Spence at some between getting his ass kicked and Spence leaving his corpse on the ground). -200 is pretty high, I think I gotta pass on Spence as a favorite but I also don't really love the kickback on Brook either. This should be a war, remember Kell coming off that broken orbital/eye socket and that could play a factor as well.

But most of all: WATCH OUT FOR THOSE SPENCE BODYSHOTS BOYS! TEAM SPENCE ALL THE WAY!! GL boys.

Great breakdown from Dwyer on this.

Cliffs:
Brook has good head movement, but not body movement. Que Spences body work
Brook has been yo-yoing in weight and is getting older. See Roy Jones' performances right after jumping up to HW and dropping down.
Brook may have gotten more taken out of him then people think in the GGG fight.
Spence is ready, hes 28. Talk about him not being ready is nonsense. He wont care about the crowd.
He's big on Spence, thinks he might get the stoppage. Also likes the under.

Im on board. 2u on Spence at -180.

Every American is on Spence it seems, as said previously though it was the same with Lacy etc coming over here, means nothing.

On Townend TKO £100 for £140

 

[CR0W]

BOOM! Wins, 1/1, good start.

Dwyer also includes a segment about how this is not like Lacy vs Calzaghe. Also, Brook is no Calzaghe.

It's just some guys opinion though, I could make a whole list of points about how Brook beats Spence...

He's never faced a top opponent.
He's inexperienced.
He's in enemy territory
etc
etc

Just because that guys says Spence won't be affected by the crowd doesn't mean he won't be, nobody really knows, that's all speculation. Not trying to be a dick, just saying it's just some guys opinion and it wouldn't sway me at all. Bellew says he knows Brook will win, can't all be right. Speculation is speculation.

Jamie Cox between 4-6 next. Good luck if you follow.

Ya.. I know. Obviously, its "just an opinion from a stranger online, and the opinion that you should follow should be your own".

Its a tough fight, close fight. I bet Spence a while ago at -161 (1.65). It is reassuring that Dwyer shares many of my opinions on this fight.

 

[SBJJ]

A win over porter is way More impressive than 100 wins over Algieri, porter has wins over berto & broner as well as several others good fighters. Algieri's best win is a split vs provodnikov?

Whilst the manner of spence's victories have been impressive he's not beat anyone on porters level yet

Come on. Berto and Broner aren't even that good. Broner is barely getting past journeymen. I think u are just going off name recognition to casuals. Algeria and Bundu are just as good as anyone on Brook record minus GGG and Porter(possibly). Just because casuals know fighters like Berto and Overrated Broner doesn't mean they are better fighters than lesser known quality guys

Yea. Fight could go many ways. I'm with Quincy in thinking kell early and Spence late.

I have Spence 7-12.

Also, no Spence backers should bitch if it's a decision robbery. That should be factored in your bet before making it

 

[pytycrys]

Love my action on Cox by decision. It looks like a bum fight so far. Not so much skill by either of the fighters. Cox definetely does not look like a 1.005 favorite (his odds now at bet365).

 

[CR0W]

Doesn't look like 4-6 will land, body shots are working though so putting a little more on 10-12.

 

[CR0W]

The cut could be what gets this fight stopped, could be 7-9 if it gets worse.

I'I agree, but i'm still gonna complain.

Brook weighs in at 156.9 this morning.
Spence 155.8 this morning.

 

[pytycrys]

Really hope the referee does not stop the bout.

Cox has so bad defense...He'll get eaten alive against better opponents

Yeah he's lucky he's not in there with a puncher of he'd have been stopped himself.

 

[pytycrys]

Going to the cards...So Cox decision should be a win, right?

 

[CR0W]

Fuck sake, 1 round off, did say though 7-9 for sure if that cut got worse. Not impressed by Cox.

I'm not actually sure, I'd assume so....
