I like him so much bc while he is talented he isn't uber talented like some with speed. He gets by on ring intelligence, skill, and toughness. A treat to watch.

What I hate is that if you watch it someone was telling Direll to stay down. Direll said he thought he hit him right at the bell. So if Direll had to be told to stay down and Direll thought he was hit at the bell we are supposed to bell it was done on purpose and the other fighter should be disqualified? It was bullshit.
I think bottom line is that boxing is ironically a gentleman's sport. With 10 seconds left you get to go ham for 9 seconds. You shouldn't push to 10-12 seconds. Not to mention this was his second warning.
Big Spence fan as well. Brook's always game, and fighting in Kell's hometown will be a tough atmosphere, but I'll be pretty surprised if Errol doesn't put on a show.
Like him too. Should be crazy atmosphere over there for Brook. Dream Scenario - Brook loses his second straight (albeit to two studs) and the Khan fight finally comes to fruition. Spence wins and ends up fighting Thurman sometime early next year. Crawford ends up getting Pacquiao fight early next year and beats Manny. Spence - Crawford in late 2018.
Speaking of Thurman, his rematch with Shawn Porter is off, as Thurman just had elbow surgery. Hopes to return late 2017, but wouldn't surprise me if it's actually 2018 before we see him again. http://www.badlefthook.com/2017/5/19/15667122/keith-thurman-out-with-elbow-surgery
Rewatched Bradley v Provodnikov last night. Such an amazing fight. Bradley v Pac 2 was better than I remembered too
I'm not sure Crawford isn't the best fighter in the world. I'm also not sure that I'm crazy about him. I don't like taunting an over matched opponent after beating him up for 9 rounds.
Willis is every bit as awesome as Lampley makes him out to be. I love him. 147 is going to provide some incredible fights in the coming years. Woe unto all if Errol Spence beats Brook. I, for one, will welcome our new body destroying overlord.
Kell Brook vs. Errol Spence (welterweights, 12 rounds) This is a terrific matchup between two of the best 147 lbs boxers on the planet. Brook valiantly (but unsuccessfully) challenged Gennady Golovkin at middleweight last year, but now he’s returning back down to a more familiar weight class. Spence has been tearing through his opposition, including a TKO win over Chris Algieri, whom Manny Pacquiao and Amir Khan couldn’t put away.
