By Scott Gilfoid: Errol Spence Jr. (21-0, 18 Kos) says he’s going to wear IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (36-1, 25 KOs) with body shots, and then switch upstairs to knock him out in their fight on May 27. Spence isn’t giving away his specific game plan for the fight against the 30-year-old Brook, as he always throws body shots in all of his fights. Hitting Brook in the body is just a standard thing that Spence is doing. Whether Brook can handle getting hit to the bread basket is the big question.

Dibella: Spence has never fought anyone like Brook

By Scott Gilfoid: American promoter Lou Dibella refuses to make a prediction on the May 20 fight between IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook and unbeaten 2012 U.S Olympian Errol Spence Jr. for their fight in Sheffield, England. What Dibella will say is the 26-year-old Spence has never fought anyone as good as the 30-year-old Brook before during his short 4-year pro career. That’s obvious though, as Spence (21-0, 18 KOs) has only had a handful of fights against quality opposition. But the same can be said for Brook, whose resume is embarrassingly empty of talented fighters.

By Scott Gilfoid: 2012 U.S Olympian Errol Spence Jr. says he’s not going to put pressure on himself by looking for a knockout against IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook in their fight on May 20. Spence says he still believes he can get the victory even if he doesn’t know the 30-year-old Brook out. At the same time, Spence says if he gets Brook hurt, he’ll jump on him and look to finish him off right away.

Some boxing fans doubt that Spence will be able to win a decision with the fight taking place in Brook’s hometown of Sheffield, England. The fans point out that even middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin was losing almost every round to Brook last September in a fight that he appeared to be dominating through the first 4 rounds. The fans point out that if the judges were giving Brook almost every round against a fighter that was clearly beating him in Golovkin, then the judges will do the same thing to Spence on the night.

By Allan Fox: Keith “One Time” Thurman (28-0, 22 KOs) was in no mood to answer questions about him fighting the winner of the Kell Brook vs. Errol Spence Jr. fight last Saturday night following his less than impressive 12 round split decision victory over WBC welterweight champion Danny Garcia (33-1, 19 KOs) at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Thurman seems to be interested in fighting a rematch with Garcia rather than moving on and taking a dangerous fight against the Brook-Spence winner. Thurman said that the boxing public might want to see him fight Danny Garcia again.

By Scott Gilfoid: Kell Brook is going to need to keep from holding too much in his fight against Errol Spence Jr. on May 20, because the 2012 U.S Olympian says he’s not going to let him do that. Spence says he’s going to step back each time Brook elects to try and grab him. Further, Spence is confident that the referee will do his job by addressing Brook’s excessive holding of him if he decides to play that card.
