    Crawford/Brook: Bookies have Crawford over Brook 8-to-1

    For comparison of how silly this all is.

    Usyk is a 6-to-1 favorite over Chisora.

    So...according to the bookies:

    untested HW Usyk is less likely to beat DelBoy, who lost 9 times, all but one to top level of the division,

    than untested WW Crawford is to beat Kell Brook, a guy who has only ever lost to two top opponents.

    If that's not overrating I don't know what is. And I don't think Brook has a chance in hell of winning, and I don't think much of Usyk, but come on. The odds for Crawford are a joke in comparison. It's not like Chisora is extremely dangerous for Usyk but Brook isn't.

      The bookies def overestimating Crawford way too hard. Brook will be a very tough fight for him.

        Make up your mind bro.

        Is Brook vs Crawford competitive or not?

        Don't care much about Usyk or Chisora.

          Generally I would say I don’t think anybody has an easy night with Brook really, but it’s worrying that he is not working with Ingle and doing his own thing.

          The worst I’ve ever seen him fight was that one fight where he had a different trainer.

          Brook needs extreme discipline in his training regime and diet, which Ingle oversees with his fighters in great detail. And he’s known Brook since Brook was about 8 years old.

          I just don’t think it’s a good idea going into a fight like this without his long-term trainer.

          Crawford would still be favourite regardless but I’d never rule Brook out of any fight but I think his chances have lessened.

            You're missing the point.

            Do I think that Crawford blows Brook out? No.

            Do I think Usyk blows Chisora out? No.

            Do I think Usyk toys with Chisora? No.

            Do I think Crawford toys with Brook? No.

            To me both fights should be 4 or 5-to-1 at best. Not 8-to-1 which implies a blowout. Nobody has made light work of Brook. Even Golovkin was getting outboxed in the early rounds.
