On Saturday in Sheffield, England, Spence went on the road and pounded his way to a hard-fought 11th-round KO victory over Kell Brook (36-2). In the 10th round, Brook would go down from exhaustion and an accumulation of punches. Brook backed away from Spence without taking punches, and he took a knee. He's a former Olympian who has now gone on to win a world title in one of the sport's glamour divisions. For now, Spence can enjoy his status as boxing's next star on the cusp of superstar status.
