    I would hesitate even throwing a score on brook at this stage, when you are going life & death with a stripper from the outback i think you're worth about a tenner.

      Brook is very skillful and tough fighter. If his eye socket don't crack again I can see very competitive fight. Don't forget Kell was outboxing Spence until he gets clipped few times. He also fought well against ggg.

        What if he upset Bud, then what? Continue to campaign as the WBO champ in a weight class you're 3 years removed from?

        Makes zero sense but whatever. I'm a Bud fan so I'll watch, but this fight is pointless.
        If he upsets Crawford, he vacates the title, Porter takes it, Haymon owns welterweight completely and Crawford is forced to move up or down.

        Manny gets upset by McGregor, breaks the internet, then McGregor vacates WBA. Vergil Ortiz gets elevated, Porter and Ortiz duke it out to unify. Winner unifies with Spence assuming he keeps winning.

          Brook needs to punch with Bud to win, no need to box with him since Bud has longer arms, quicker feet and faster hands!

          Gotta force the exchanges often and early to test that chin out!

            Dismissing both his promoter and trainer, it looks like the only person Brook is making rich out of this fight is himself!

              I wouldn't even want to waste a tenner on this. What are his chances? A cut a-la Lewis-Klitschko? Injury a-la Klitschko-Byrd? Amir Khan jumping into the ring with a folded chair and beats Crawford with it?

              I see your point and I regret not betting on Ruiz and Lopez because in both of these fights I intuitively felt something might go wrong for the favorite. But in the great scheme of things these are the exceptions that confirm the rule.

                  if we have 2014 Kell Brook it would be a 50/50 fight

                    I see what you did there! Can't argue with this proposed welterweight takeover...well, the tail end of a takeover since PBC fighters have all of the belts outside of the WBO.

                      Kell Brook is not a shot fighter entirely, he just struggles to make 147 optimally.

                      If he makes 147 strong, then? This is a competitive fight.

                      Crawford should win still.
