Brook: Spence can’t stand up to my power

By Daily Sports on May 17, 2017

IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (36-1, 25 KOs) has lost an enormous amount of weight to get near the 147 pound fighting weight for his May 27 fight against Errol “The Truth” Spence Jr. (21-0, 18 KOs).

Brook is expected to square up with Spence Jr. at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, England May 27.

Despite taking off a ton of weight, Brook still has 6 stubborn pounds to get down to the limit.

Brook thinks he’ll be able to take the weight off to make the welterweight limit, and then defend his title successfully in style. Brook says the key to him winning the fight will be his punching power. Brook doesn’t think Spence, 27, will be able to handle his big power shots. Brook isn’t known for being a big puncher. He seems to believe he’s a big knockout artist now.

Brook is predicting a hard fight on May 27, but he believes he’ll be the one that triumphs. he is so confident that he’ll win the fight against Spence that he’s already targeting a unification fight against WBA/WBC welterweight champion Keith “One Time” Thurman, who he says is one of his favorite fighters in the sport.

“I feel great. I’ve been sparring in the hot sun with middleweights and super middleweights,” said Brook to IFL TV.

“I’ll be ready for this fight. I’ve been sparring 3 unbeaten men, strong super middleweights. I’ve been running around the track. I’m got all the killers in the gym. They’ve been on me every single day. I’ve come down to welterweight. It’s been tough. With 2 weeks to go, as you can see, I’m firmed up. I’m ready to fight,” Brook says.
