Kell Brook and Errol Spence fight Saturday at the Bramall Lane for the IBF World welterweight title.

Kell Brook enters this fight with a 36-1 record that includes 25 knockouts. Brook has won 10 of his last 11 fights and is coming off a September loss to Gennady Golovkin. Brook needs a victory here to redeem himself after getting knocked out in his last bout and suffering his first career loss. Brook stands in at 5’9” and has a 69 inch reach, and he relies on athleticism and a high boxing IQ. Brook isn’t exactly a knockout artist, but he delivers accurate punches and is a successful counter puncher. Brook can comfortably fight inside or outside and that makes it difficult for his opponent to get comfortable and find a rhythm. Brook has fought most of his career in the United Kingdom, his birthplace.

Errol Spence enters this fight with a 21-0 record that includes 18 knockouts. This will be Spence’s third fight since 2016 and is coming off a August win over Leonard Bundu. Spence is quickly becoming one of the top welterweights in the world at just 27 years old and this will be his first title shot. Spence stands in at 5’9” with a 72 inch reach and fights out of the southpaw stance, and he has power in both hands that have produced stoppages in each of his last eight fights. Spence has a high boxing IQ and isn’t a wild free swinger you sometimes see with elite power punches, and he’s very polished on the defensive end as well. A victory here and Spence is thrown into the convo with Danny Garcia, Keith Thurman and Amir Khan as the best in the division. This will be Spence’s first time fighting in the United Kingdom.

This will be the biggest test for Spence yet given that it’s on Brooks soil and he’ll be motivated to bounce back after his result against Golovkin. However, Spence is just in terrific form right now and is the better pure boxer overall. Spence has a three inch reach advantage over Brook and has a massive power advantage as well. After all, Spence stopped Chris Algieri rather easily, the same guy who gave Amir Khan and Manny Pacquiao a run for their money. Spence is just a tough, physical boxer who has a pitbull mentality in the ring and won’t be intimidated by his opponent being the crowd favorite.

Spence is on a mission right now to take that next step in his career, and based on what he's shown us in his last few nights, there’s no reason to bet against him here.

Errol Spence Kell Brook Odds

In the sport of boxing, sometimes words can get misconstrued. However, former two-time welterweight belt holder Shawn Porter made his words as clear as possible when regarding who he wants to step into the ring next.

“I prioritize Terence Crawford,” said Porter following Errol Spence Jr.’s win over Danny Garcia.

Porter, of course, held a birds-eye view as he watched Spence Jr. dismantle Garcia during their pay-per-view main event late last year. While Porter is positioned to take on Spence Jr. due to his high ranking in both the WBC and IBF sanctioning bodies, the Ohio native appeared more interested in taking on WBO belt holder Terence Crawford.

Although Porter currently sits in the mandated position, promoter Bob Arum is apparently playing hardball with the welterweight contender. During a recent interview, Arum revealed that the guaranteed dollars he would be willing to offer Porter would fall well short of what the rugged fighter has grown accustomed to making.

“I’m not guaranteeing more than a million dollars,” said Arum during an interview with Barbershop Conversations. “I’m just not, not in these times.”

“These times,” that Arum is referring to, is the current worldwide pandemic. Still, even with fans absent from arenas, Porter believes Arum’s excuse for not offering him more zero’s at the end of his paycheck is flat out bullshit.

Considering his stature in the sport of boxing, as well as what Arum paid Crawford’s most recent opponent, Porter simply isn’t buying the excuses that Arum is trying to sell.

“I said it before, I will not fight Terence Crawford for a million dollars,” said Porter on his podcast The Porter Way Podcast Clips. “You paid Kell Brook two million, reportedly, to fight Terence Crawford. What makes Kell Brook worth more than Shawn Porter at this point in time? Especially in the United States.”

While at one point, Brook was considered the cream of the crop of the welterweight division, the 34-year-old has suffered numerous knockout losses, making his fourth-round stoppage defeat at the hands of Crawford not surprising.

With Porter’s bank account is currently filled to the brim with millions upon millions of dollars, accepting a lesser offer then given to Brook simply doesn’t make sense to the 33-year-old.

Although the potential of raking in a million dollars would make most individuals jump out of their seats, Porter merely yawns and remains stone-faced.

“I get it, for a lot of people a million dollars is a lot of money. However, with the money that I’ve been able to make I understand the business of boxing. To even begin negotiations at two million dollars is an insult. Everybody in the sport of boxing knows that the welterweight division is the hottest in boxing and if anything, second to heavyweight. We command a lot of money and attention. This fight would do all of that and more. A million dollars isn’t chump change to somebody else but to Shawn Porter, it’s chump change.”

“I guarantee that if there’s fans in the stand, that we will fill up whatever stadium you want to take the fight to,” continued Porter. “If we do it on pay-per-view we’re going to sell more pay-per-views than Terence Crawford’s ever sold before because now he’s fighting Shawn Porter and I am a pay-per-view draw.”

For years now, Arum has said time and time again that Terence Crawford isn’t just the best fighter in the welterweight division but also that he’s the best fighter in the world. Those words however, ring hollow to Porter. Sure Arum may say one thing about the skills of Crawford but for the number one ranked contender, he believes Arum wants to keep Crawford as far away from him as possible.
