Are bookmakers underestimating the advantages Brook holds?

Despite being the challenger to Brook’s crown and fighting in the champions’ home country, Spence Jr is the betting favourite at 1.561*. The 27-year-olds two biggest wins as a professional have come against nondescript opposition in Leonard Bundu and Chris Algeri. However, it is the manner in which the American has dispatched the pair that has ultimately led to the challenger being the odds-on favourite.

Errol Spence vs Shawn Porter Boxing Betting Odds and Preview. September 3, 2019. Spence got the needed experience when he defeated Kell Brook and then he went 12 rounds with Mikey Garcia. Sure, he was the big boxing betting favorite against Garcia but I did not expect him to fight with such high IQ. Spence isn’t just an. 'The Kell Brook who fought Errol Spence was probably at 85-90 percent, which you can't be against that sort of opponent.'

When a fighter cuts weight they become weaker and it almost certainly will have a detrimental effect on the body.

Algeri is a fighter both Amir Khan and Manny Pacquiao were taken the distance by but was subsequently destroyed by Spence Jr in April last year - whilst the normally durable Leonard Bundu (who also took Keith Thurman the distance) was dismantled in similar fashion. Bookmakers are placing plenty of significance on the comparison of these results so Brook (priced at 2.570*) could be a value bet for those that know how to bet on boxing.

Will weight be an issue for Brook?

If Brook is struggling at the weight then Spence’s tremendous body punching inevitably will become a factor in the fight. When a fighter cuts weight they become weaker and it almost certainly will have a detrimental effect on the body. Energy levels may hold strong for the first half of a fight, but they will ultimately diminish.

Bettors who want to use a boxing betting strategy will analyse the approach a fighter takes when preparing for a fight. Keeping up-to-date with both Brook and Spence Jr’s pre-fight preparations could help bettors understand how they will carry their weight in the fight and if they will be able to utilise their strengths - this will ultimately show if there is value in the Brook vs. Spence Jr odds.

Those with expert knowledge of pre-fight preparations, such as Kell Brook’s strength and conditioning coach Danny Wilson will be well aware of how a professional boxer deals with a change in weight division (in Brook’s case two weight divisions) - bettors who think Brook will struggle with the drop in weight from Middleweight to Welterweight might be drawn to Under 10.5 rounds at 2.250*.

Will Errol Spence Jr’s chin hold up at world level?

This is a key factor to consider in the Kell Brook vs. Errol Spence Jr betting odds. Spence hasn't yet mixed with a fighter of Brook’s calibre and hasn't been hit a lot by the level of opposition that he has fought thus far in his career.

If the rising contender’s chin proves solid the sky could be the limit for the Long Islander - but odds of 1.561* seem to be on the short side.

Errol Spence Vs Brooks

When analysing Spence’s fighting style, he is potentially vulnerable to left hooks (one of Brook’s signature punches). The American consistently kept his right hand low in his fight against the light-hitting Leonard Bundu and does seem hittable – often leaving himself exposed when unleashing his spiteful attacks to the body.

There will always be a question mark hanging over a rising prospect until they prove inevitably that they can go into the trenches and take clean punches at world-level. Spence hasn't fought anybody at the level of Brook, and the Sheffield fighter brings real sharp accurate power to the table.

How will the fight be won?

Ultimately the fight is a risk for Brook, but a calculated risk. The Englishman’s experience ought to give him the edge despite being priced as an underdog. Brook’s promoter Eddie Hearn has ensured the IBF champion has home advantage, and a 30,000 pro Brook crowd will unquestionably lift the Sheffield fighter.

Spence for all his talent and promise is still largely unproven at this next level. This is something the American will need to prove to justify such short odds of in a fight of this magnitude. Ability-wise Spence ticks all boxes, but ‘The Truth’ will not have faced a fighter with the self-belief of the IBF champion, who is expectant to win.

The key for Spence is how well he can take consistent shots from one of the sharpest punchers in the division. If the rising contender’s chin proves solid the sky could be the limit for the Long Islander - but odds of 1.561* in a fight at this level, on this stage, seem to be on the short side.

IBF welterweight champion Errol Spence takes on WBC welterweight champion Shawn Porter in a unification bout on September 28, 2019, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Errol Spence Jr.

Spence will be making the fourth defense of the IBF welterweight belt he won after traveling to Sheffield, England to beat Kell Brook in his hometown last May 2017. Spine defended the title twice in 2018, knocking out former world champion Lamont Peterson in seven rounds and scoring a first-round knockout of mandatory challenger Carlos Ocampo in his hometown of Frisco, Texas.

In March 2019, Spence headlined his first PPV card and defeated lightweight champion Mikey Garcia in a shutout. After fighting an undersized Garcia who moved up two weight classes to meet him, Spence will now take on the rugged Porter who was the former IBF welterweight champion who was dethroned by Brook, the man Spence beat for his title.

Errol Spence is in his prime at 29-years old and he stands 5-10 with a reach of 72 inches while fighting as a southpaw. The Long Island, New York native has an undefeated record of 25-0 with 21 knockouts. Spence has won 11 out of his last 12 bouts by stoppage and is 4-0 in world title fights. This is his first fight at Staples Center and his first in California since 2013.

Spence Vs Brook Odds Ufc

Las Vegas’ Porter held Spence’s current belt from 2013 to 2014 before losing it to Brook in a close decision. He rebounded by outclassing Adrien Broner and then fought bravely and engaged Keith Thurman in a 12-round ward before losing another close decision. Porter then defeated Danny Garcia via decision to win the WBC belt which Thurman vacated after taking a long hiatus due to injury.

Porter made his first defense of the WBC belt against Cuban Yordenis Ugas and in an unimpressive performance, he won the bout via split decision. Porter has always been considered a tough foe because of his physicality but he will be in a different situation here against a bigger and stronger Errol Spence.

The 31-year old Porter stands 5-7 and has a reach of 69 ½ inches while fighting out of the orthodox stance. He has a professional record of 30-2-1 with 17 knockouts to his credit. Showtime Porter has won four fights in a row since losing to Keith Thurman in 2016. This will be Porter’s first fight at the Staples Center and his third in California since 2014.

Who Wins?

I think Errol Spence is an overrated puncher but overall, I think he is an underrated fighter. A lot of people are saying that he doesn’t have the kind of resume that Keith Thurman and Terence Crawford possess. However, he has beaten every man he has faced and he has definitely improved with every fight. Spence got the needed experience when he defeated Kell Brook and then he went 12 rounds with Mikey Garcia. Sure, he was the big boxing betting favorite against Garcia but I did not expect him to fight with such high IQ. Spence isn’t just an aggressive power puncher who has a high output, he is smart and slick as well.

Shawn Porter rose to the scene by defeating Alexander. He bet Malignaggi and lost to Kell Brook. Porter beat Broner and then he had that valiant effort in the Thurman loss and he rebuilt himself by defeating Danny Garcia. I think Porter has a better fight resume between the two and has more experience than Errol Spence.

However, what makes Porter special is that he is a rugged fighter who forces his opponents off their games by forcing them in a rugged fight. But because Errol Spence is much bigger and stronger, I don’t think he can be the bully in this fight. If Porter cannot bully Spence, he can’t score his best punches. On the other hand, I think Spence can choose to fight at a distance and win with an easy decision.

I think that Porter will try to be the aggressor but Spence is going to push him back. Errol Spence is just too physically strong for Shawn Porter. I think Porter cannot impose his will on Spence and that the harder he tries, the more he will tire. With Spence’s high output, I can see him easily outpointing Shawn Porter here.
