Brook was countering well early in the fight but i think if EJ wouldve kept making him fight going baccwards, this fight would've been alot easier... also Brook couldnt fight for shit on the inside.

My assessment too. Kell was timing that counter right hand quite nicely and when he had ES going backwards Errol did look a little unsure. Take alook at the 5th as well, he was bleeding slightly in the mouth and looked a little gassed which super surprised me. On the plus side he looked very dominant backing Brook up and whenever Brook landed some clean shots and appeared to be taking some momentum ES fought back harder. I like to see that type of 'Evander Holyfield dog' in a fighter.

This would have been a very very interesting fight had Brook not gassed so badly around the 7th. You have to give credit to Spence though, he went to the champs backyard and won the fight. Kell Brook is no mug champ either, he is legit.

Verdict? Spence is 12-18 months away from Keith Thurman, not his best performance but he still got the job done and by knockout. When only but in a B-type performance but still go to a very credible champion's home town and take the title off him you are probably the real deal.
