Comments Thread For: Arum: Brook One of The Elite Fighters in The World, A Real Test For Crawford

[Jab jab boom]

Man, Brook stepping in the ring with undefeated prime versions of Porter, Ggg, Spence, and now Crawford are the 4 biggest risks on any current fighters resume. So props to him, but I think it's clear he's seen his best days as a result and has close to no chance in this fight.

The pound-for-pound king is set to reclaim his throne. WBO welterweight world champion Terence "Bud" Crawford will defend his title against former welterweight world champion Kell Brook in a special edition of Top Rank on ESPN Saturday, Nov. 14.

scumbag Arum still selling snake oil

If Brook can make 147 without draining himself too much he'll be a real test for Crawford but that's a big if

bigger than Tyson fury at his heaviest

4 things.

Brook hasn't made 147 in 3 years and that last time he fought at that weight, he got his eye socket broken.

Since that night, he hasn't even done any significant thing at 154.

Inglewood did not take the assigment because he knows it's a suicide mission.

Crawford is gonna fight another cherry, feel bad for him, terrific talent combined with a very poor resume.

Love how the author makes it seem as if Brooke's orbital bone just magically gave out on him and not from the bombs Spence was landing on it.

Bob can sell some sh_t can’t he!

Terrence about to beat the hell out of Brook so don’t try and build him like he’s a real threat! Terrence has always been the Boogie Man of his weight. This point and game we get into levels and Bud is levels above this Brook who will struggle to make weight and not be able to handle the onslaught by Bud Crawford and will always be a few steps behind and will either quit or be rescued due to a pounding.

Crawford resigned with Top Rank knowing every other relevant welter was with PBC and that makes him the boogie man at welter?

Unfortunately, this is about as good of an opponent as Arum can dig up without doing business with PBC so he has to make Brook out to be better than he is.

Yawn.....

Crawford is a huge disappointment. 33 years of age with no career defining fight, and he's wasting it on this garbage?

[Pigeons]

Bob's awesome.

Maybe Julie Lederman can screw Crawford too...
