Could Brook actually beat Crawford?

Crawford fans had better hope Brook is shot. Because if he isn't, if he's 85 to 90 per cent of what Errol Spence fought, Kell is going to wax Bud's natural arse. Bud is in for a nasty surprise if Kell has anything left. If Green Machine could drop Bud, a fit Kell Brook will sleep Crawford.

Sry but ''Think about it'' killed me https://media0.giphy.com/media/3oEdv0LJmhh8Yb7sti/giphy-downsized.gif

Yes Brook could win. It is just very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very unlikely that he will win.

Nah, he hasn’t been living the life. You cannot get up 6 months prior to try and play this. I hope he can pull it off but I know he can’t. He would quit once the heat is turned up, he is cashing out straight up here.

It’s possible. He has to go to the body, that’s where Crawford gets hurt. I just don’t see how Brook gets to the inside without taking a lot of punishment.

Brook's size is what could help him. Crawford won his first title 2 divisions below 147. Brook fought GGG for a title two divisions above 147. Porter said he could definitely feel how much bigger Brook was when Brook was leaning and pushing him while they were in the clinch. Brook has been fighting Light Middleweights since his late stoppage loss to Spence. Crawford has stopped all 4 Welterweights he fought, but Brook may have better durability than those 4 guys.

Brook has a decent straight right hand and a good jab. His timing will be key to offset Crawford midway, but as I said, Brook has too much defensive holes in his game and Crawford will eventually bully his way to a late TKO or KO.

It’ll be a great fight for sure. Absolutely, I expect fireworks. I personally don't think the prospect of a full on Brook win is that strong but I wouldn't be remotely surprised to see passages that plant that seed of doubt

I have this nagging feeling Brook will have a troubling (for a Crawford fan) amount of strong moments en route to a late Crawford TKO with lots of crowd-pleasing back and forth. As in, legitimately rattle Crawford once or thrice, possibly with KD. Just kind of an intuitive impression going from a precedence of Crawford looking very human on the way to closing a show and what comes across to me like a very motivated Brook sensing what is assuredly his last real hurrah. It’ll be a great fight for sure.

Very much so, I actually bet $100 on Brook when Crawford was at 18-1 odds. People are massively disrespecting Brook, and this fight has trap written all over it.

I think he really could, Crawford has a terrible resume and loses rounds and gets clipped by damn near everyone he fights. I'm favoring Crawford but I wouldn't count out Brook if he comes in shape and focused.

I love brook but it’s hard to determine what he’s fighting for a brook that beat porter can beat Crawford but that brook is long gone

no but at least Brook won't be a weak h0e like Amir Khan

Brook can keep it interested on the outside if both decides to make it more of a chess match, but Crawford will eventually bully him and he’s just not good enough to exploit Crawford’s flaws.

Brook has too much holes in his defense. Crawford won’t have a hard time outfighting him.

I should've went with my gut and bet Lopez vs Lomachenko, but a lot of people talked me out of it. I was confident Lopez would 100% beat Lomachenko, I knew it I called it and there is post history of me calling it here. I ended up just not betting. I am not as confident on Brook beating Crawford, but I think he can beat him, we may be looking at another "p4p king" dethroned in a two month timespan. There is no way way I'm not putting a few hundred on Brook for this fight, he can do it.

Brook is going to be dead at the weight. The confidence he used to have and all of that is gone. He did well against Spence until the damage started piling up. Dude couldnt make weight YEARS ago. And now he’s good after recent weight woes? He hasn’t looked his best in a long time. But the best version of Brook beats Crawford on some of the nights we’ve seen him in at 47. So yes, a good version of Brook can beat what we’ve seen from Bud at 47 against once lesser men...but now? Doubtful. But you never know. Brook isnt THAT old. I wouldnt be shocked, I’ll say that much. But no way theyd give the nod go Kell even if he legitimately wins it imo

Brook is shot. Hasnt done anything since 2014

Crawford is going to make this Brit quit again.Only way Crawford loose to Brooks is if he brakes both of his hands.
