By Scott Gilfoid: Kell Brook has less than 3 weeks remaining before he defends his IBF welterweight title against arguably the most talented fighter in the 147 pound division today in Errol Spence Jr. on May 27 at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, England. The boxing world may be seeing the end of Brook as a world champion at 147, because if he loses badly, as many people expect him to, the next move the 30-year-old makes without question will end with him moving up to 154. However, Brook is putting up a good front by talking tough to Spence in an attempt to throw off his game by putting the scare on him.

Brook-Spence: Kell’s weight loss has me concerned

By Scott Gilfoid: Kell Brook has undergone a RAPID weight loss process in getting down to the 147 pound limit for his title defense against mandatory challenger Errol Spence Jr. on May 27. With 3 weeks to go before their fight at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, England. IBF welterweight champion Brook (36-1, 25 KOs) is already down to 153 pounds as of last week. I don’t see where the other 6 lbs. of weight is going to come off of Brook. He’s already a skeleton.

By Scott Gilfoid: George Groves (25-3, 18 KOs) and Fedor Chudinov have been officially added to the May 27th Kell Brook vs. Errol Spence Jr. card as the chief support at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, England. Groves-Chudinov is a decent fight, but I would have preferred a better match-up than this as the chief support. I’m sorry, but a 3-time world title challenger loser like Groves facing a guy that lost his last fight in Chudinov is not a great fight in my book.

By Dan Ambrose: Former world champion Paulie Malignaggi is really excited about the upcoming Kell Brook versus Errol Spence Jr and Saul “Canelo Alvarez versus Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. fights. Malignaggi rates the Brook-Spence Jr. fight as the best one in boxing right now, above the Canelo-Chavez Jr. fight, which he feels is a mismatch. Malignaggi does not rate Chavez Jr. as being a good fighter. He views Chavez Jr. as a flawed guy that is only rated at the top level because of his famous father Julio Cesar Chavez Sr.

By Dan Ambrose: Unbeaten Errol Spence Jr (21-0, 18 KOs) is fighting IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook overseas in the UK is not something that Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya agrees with. De La Hoya says he would never make the same move as the promoters for the 27-year-old Spence from Premier Boxing Champions. De La Hoya thinks there’s too much risk in Spence going overseas to fight the 30-year-old Brook (36-1, 25 KOs) in his hometown at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, UK.
