So weird how Brook suddenly looks done in the 9th round, what a dramatic turn of events. I didn't see any one particular punch that did it, just Brooks body language is totally different and looks like a deer caught in headlights. How strange!

Right. Combination of those I suppose. Spence put some work on the body too when they were in the clinch so that added to the fatigue of losing muscle to make 147. I think brook didn't really hurt Spence either with all the fancy combos and counters and that may have discouraged him.

Spence looks like a hard fight even with the way he was getting boxed and countered in the first half. He's strong and physical, good chin, puts a lot on his punches. I think he's considerably bigger than Thurman.

Even khan doesn't quit lol...
Yeah he prefers to take a nap unconscious lol

Gotta give props to Brook though. After becoming Champion at 147 and took a couple easy title defenses, he feels invincible and takes on Golovkin at 160 when no one else would. Then drops back down to 147 and takes on another guy no one wants to fight. Didn't work out of course but that is a sign of a true champ taking on the best like that.

I think brook can recover from this but I'm a little worried about his eye(s). The Showtime crew were saying he had surgery on the other eye, I looked it up to be sure and they are right, so that could now mean he has two fucked eyes- if he broke the orbital bone, which may be the case his eye looked almost identical to his other eye against Golovkin, then that could be a big problem going forward.

Damn Brook suddenly is on the outside looking in after making a questionable career move fighting GGG and now this. Thurman talking shit to Spence already when he belongs at 154, he's a sucka to me
