Brook will have his moments just like I predicted Josesito
having had his moments in the Thurman fight.
Lopez, in fact, nearly knocked One Time out.
Egidijus Kavaliauskas had his moments.
Gamboa had his moments...
Kell will have his and I can't wait seeing it.
I'm picking Bud for the win because Brooke hasn't shown me anything since beating Porter in a close fight. If Crawford loses this, I wouldn't be surprised because I don't think too highly of him. I still don't believe that Crawford can beat Shawn porter. I think that style and his relentless pressure is just a too much for Crawford and he knows this.
Kell's best win, still, is the minor upset win he edged out over Shawn Porter some 6-7 years ago.
And he's 34 years old now.
He'll probably have some moments here and there -- after all he is a nice fighter and a longtime veteran, but I'd be surprised if he truly took Crawford into deep waters. Maybe the version of himself five years ago could have, but I highly doubt this version threatens Crawford much at all. Would love be wrong, though.
Bud boxes for first 2-3 getting his timing and working out Kell.
Starts to hurt Kell with vicious body punchers and check hooks.
Brings the heat in rnd7 and hurts Kell at end of round.
Tenderizers Kell in the 8th to dominate Brook in the ninth.
Kells corner throws the towel, Bud is the dominant champion he always has been.
War Bud Crawford.
Crawford's chin is suspect... So Terence will be checking him out first 3 rounds. Kell better come up with a god one cus of not, it won't be close.
Easy ud for Terencce, might be a stoppage
Brook will start out aggressive and he will have to land something big early to hurt or drop Crawford.
If he doesn’t, Crawford is going to slowly take him apart from the outside. The weight is also going to affect Brook in the later rounds.
I think Crawford decision or late stoppage.
I think I favour Crawford as he's fresher but I am a bit baffled why nearly everyone is so certain he will easily. Talking like its a mismatch is insane to me.
I won't at all be surprised if Brook wins on points or by stoppage and I'd be even less surprised when everyone would typically label Crawford a hypejob.
I think Brook being able to lead with his right hand poses some challenges than Crawford really hasn't seen lately (if ever). Some of it goes out the window because Brook isn't prime anymore, but he's been a really good fighter and was always very physically sturdy at 147...at one time, probably the most physically strong WW... you won't see many WW's be able to put Shawn Porter on a shoulder and outmuscle him, while getting off with punches the way Brook did. Porter could not move him
I think he's well within his limit hurt TC. Crawford is amongst my favorites, I think he will win... but I think Brook has a good style for this fight. Really want to see how he reacts to the right hand. Looking forward to a good fight
Crawford by UD. I expect Brook to be hurt and probably dropped before getting to the finish line.
Crawford will comfortably beat Brook although Brook will have moments where he shines, maybe wobbling Crawford a bit
Then Manny defeats Crawford by UD and lame-o’s on NSB will claim it’s cause Crawford is washed up despite being 10 years younger than Manny.
Lmao.
I personally see it as a hybrid of these two posts basically. If so, it should be a decent, though not overly competitive fight.
Also HewJohnson writing lame-o then lmao threw me for a moment and I read them in the same way in a brief dyslexic fit...
