By Gav Duthie: One boxing name has popped up a couple of times in articles this week that I had not thought of in a while, Jeff Lacy. ‘Left Hook’ Lacy last fought in 2015 finishing with a modest boxing record of 27-6 (18). In 2006 however he was ‘The next big thing’. He was 21-0 (17) and heading over to the UK to smash the overconfident, over-hyped and overrated Joe Calzaghe, or so we were told. Lacy was a big favorite much like Gervonta Davis (v Liam Walsh) and Errol Spence Jne (v Kell Brook). Calzaghe dominated Lacy over 12 rounds and the great hope was never the same since. Frank Warren has compared the Davis situation to this

By Scott Gilfoid: In 8 days from now, Errol Spence Jr. will be fighting IBF welterweight champion Kell “Special K” Brook for his IBF 147 pound strap with referee Howard John Foster the third man in the ring on the night on May 27. This could be a good thing or a bad thing for this fight. It all depends on what kind of night Foster is having. Foster was a tad quick on the stoppage of the first Carl Froch vs. George Groves fight on November 23, 2013.

By Scott Gilfoid: Kell Brook is kind of bent out of shape because Amir Khan has let Errol Spence Jr. use his boxing gym in the UK in getting ready for his fight with Brook on May 27 at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, England. Brook (36-1, 25 KOs) thinks that Khan wants Spence to beat him for some reason.

By Scott Gilfoid: At Tuesday’s media conference call, a very confident sounding IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (36-1, 25 KOs) said that he rates himself as the number one fighter at 147, Keith Thurman at number 2 and Errol Spence Jr. at number 3. Brook and Spence will be fighting on May 27 at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, England. This is the moment of truth for Brook, who hasn’t fought a welterweight with the talent that Spence has during his career.

By Scott Gilfoid: 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) for their fight at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, England. Despite taking off a ton of weight, Brook still has 6 stubborn pounds to get down to the limit.

By Scott Gilfoid: You would think that with IBF welterweight champion Kell “Special K” Brook facing arguably the most talented fighter in the 147 pound division in Errol Spence next, he would be worried about winning that fight, but Brook is now saying he wants to fight a rematch with middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (37-0, 33 KOs). Brook and Spence face each other on May 27 at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, England. Spence is chomping at the bit, eager to get in there and smash Brook apart in front of his own fans. The crowd is expected to be at least 30,000 fans on the night.

By Scott Gilfoid: In less than 2 weeks from now, IBF welterweight champion Kell “Special K” Brook (36-1, 25 KOs) will be putting his IBF strap on the line against his mandatory challenger Errol “The Truth” Spence Jr. (21-0, 18 KOs) in a very big fight on May 27 at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, England. On May 27, we’re going to find out quickly if there’s any residual damage to Brook’s surgically repaired right eye from his last fight against Gennady Golovkin. If the titanium plate that was inserted into Brook’s right eye socket isn’t as strong as he’s been blathering about, we could see that eye swell up almost immediately when Spence nails on that spot.

By Scott Gilfoid: Promoter Oscar De La Hoya is picking Errol Spence (21-0, 18 KOs) to beat IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (36-1, 25 KOs) by a knockout in their fight this month on May 27. Da Hoya is really high on the talent of the 27-year-old American Spence, and he sees him as too good for Brook. De La Hoya sees Spence obliterating Brook on the night when the two of them go at it at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, England.
