If Brook was in his prime I'd have this as around a 50-50 fight but in the GGG and Spence losses he got some pretty bad eye injuries which have created weak points on his face for Bud to target and break down. On top of that, he hasnt fought 147 for nearly 3 years so he might be weight-drained, in which case his punch resistance will be reduced both to the head and to the body. So the chances are that Bud won't be in with a prime version of Brook.
But the one ray of hope I still give him is that he says he's been preparing for this fight for over 6 months to make sure he adjusts back down to 147 better. If he has, then I'm guessing he must have already made 147 a few times in the past months to test it out again, and get his body use to it. If he has done that, then he still has a shot to pull off the upset tonight (assuming he hasn't got old overnight and his eyes hold up).
And I think Bud is better than both. He's too gritty. When it gets tough, he drills hard. Brook hasn't seen anything like it.
Thats a good point about crawford. He is pretty but he can street fight if it comes to that.
It really depends on how Brook shows up. If you could say for certain that Brook's going to show up in pre-GGG form then you know for sure that it'd be a real fight - you could even make a strong argument for Brook having the edge. If it's the same guy who shows up who's struggled against mediocre jr. middleweights, then well, it's hard not to conclude that he's got little chance.
The thing is for Crawford, even if Brook shows up in great shape, he'll get no credit for beating him because of Brook's recent form. On the flipside, Brook can resurrect his career like Lazarus if he wins.
he is completely done at the top level, from what ive heard hes been dropped a couple times in sparring too
Have you got a link? Where'd you hear this from? I was about to place a bet on Brook til I read this lol
With a jab, he knocked him out with a jab lol DeLuca is many levels below championship level, Kells jab hasnt KOed any one else in 40 bouts and probably 1000 or so landed jabs, maybe you think DeLuca is the reason .
In the first Hulk movie with Eric Bana a mutated dog bites Hulk’s bicep and he flexes, dislocating it’s jaw and ending the fight. So you’re wrong.
Underrated poster this fuckin' guy right here.

Roids all over the place in that fight.
Would get a ND
This isnt bodybuilding. Brook is always shredded, howd that shredded body workout for brook vs GGG and spence?
