Alcohol fuelled amoebas. Sheffield hang your head in shame.
I meant just an applause for the spirit of Manchester. It was clear they weren't gonna be quiet so something needed to be done. A minutes silence is never gonna work at a boxing event.

Brook had the early part of the fight and possibly caught Spence on 4 occasions were you thought he could finish it, but Spence rode through it and finished a lot stronger.
Brook took lots of shots that he didn't need to, pretty careless at times that takes it's toll at the end. Time to pack it in for his healths sake.

Spence looked decent with a long reach but doesn't look a standout boxer like some of the world champions at the moment.

Tony Bellew is a massive cock-end and his comments after the fight last night highlighted this.

After his win George Groves paid tribute to his last opponent, Edward Gutknecht, who remains in a coma since their fight. That, plus the knowledge that Brook fractured his orbital bone in his last fight shows the massive risks in boxing. Yet Bellew sees fit to run his mouth.

He's also a bloody hypocrite. When he fought Adonis Stevenson in the run up to the fight he said he was prepared to "die in the ring". He then put in one of the most lamentable performances I've ever seen in a world title fight before quitting in the 7th round.

He's an arse.

It's being reported by Eddie Hearne that Brook has once more broken his eyesocket (The same one as last time)

Spoke to a mate this morning who was there and said no one in the crowd had any idea about the minute silence due to sound issues with Buffer. Still not the smartest move to try and hold it at about 9 o clock when everyone's had a full day on the lash.

Gutted for Brook tbh, thought he was edging it until the 9th
Can't help but think Brook should have been having these fights 3-4 years ago.
He's not over the GGG fight mentally and im afraid this will prevent him from fighting at the top level again.

Spence Jr showed he has the goods and was given a tough time aswell don't forget. I'd expect Spence Jr to walk through Thurman and the rest of the WWs currently.

Boxing has gone silly for me - more and more pay per views events and some of them are not worthy of pay per view. Now touting for Brook v Khan now there both title-less !!!!! what fighter has either of these beaten in the last 2 years to warrant a pay per view for a non title fight ??? BUT if you ever need a nation that's so gullible and with the right brainwashing advertisements that will pay for any old fight its the good old UK !!!!!!
