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: 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.

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 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.
