Kell Brook couldn’t handle “The Truth.” 

The brave Brook fought well Saturday night, but Errol Spence Jr. ultimately wore down the defending champion and stopped him in the 11th round of their IBF welterweight title fight in Sheffield, England. Spence, a heavily hyped American southpaw, hurt Brook early in the 11th round and made Brook take a knee with 1:28 left in it because he had trouble seeing out of his left eye.

Brook (36-2, 25 KOs) reached his feet before referee Howard Foster counted to 10, but Foster stopped the fight. Brook, who had a lot of swelling around his left eye, indicated to Foster that he couldn’t continue, despite the urging of a loud, proud crowd of roughly 27,000 at Bramall Lane, a soccer stadium in Brook’s hometown.

Only saw bits of this last night as I was out having a beer with the lads but Kell looked under pressure for large parts of the fight; pop goes his career now!!
