Crawford/Brook: Fight agreed on SHORT NOTICE with SHORT CAMP. Another asterisk...?

[Combat Talk Radio]

"Once they leave the gym and walk out, it’s not a concern, I don’t give it much thought. It’s not an issue. I don’t train people for a fight for less than 10-12 weeks.

“It’s not the way I’ve ever worked. No matter what money is involved. I’ve got ambition that my fighters will win. I need to know what their capabilities are, when to push them, pull them out or be careful with them.”

Kell Brook was campaigning at 154, had problems making 147, so if he didn't have a sufficient camp, does that basically handicap Brook from an easy weight cut?

This fight has been an asterisk from the start. It makes no sense

[GrandpaBernard]

I see Kell testing Crawford even with all the disadvantages

[bigsmoothh]

this fight makes zero sense, smh...

But come on, the bookies are at 12-to-1 and growing.

You almost never see odds that high when you're dealing with a current or former champion.

Even Porter/Formella wasn't that wide.

Brook is an unknown

****ed himself by wasting it away in the UK

Brook was done a few years ago. Another garbage fight for Crawford. Maybe Brook can get a miracle KO so we never have to hear about Crawford again.

Crawford top P4P status has an asterisk.

Brook has been training for months.


What Ingle saying is not implying Brook hasn’t been training for 10 weeks, in an interview Ingle said he had other fighters that already had fights scheduled so he had to prioritise them, which means he wouldn’t have been able to join Kell’s camp until four weeks before the fight and Ingle doesn’t work that way because he actually cooks all the food for fighters and everything, so he said he needs to be there from the start so he knows where the fighter is at.

But he said Brook has been training since about August over in Spain. He just didn’t want to come into Brooks camp a few weeks out of the fight.

Brook has been training pretty much all year and looks in good shape and much lighter than usual between fights, but he has been in proper camp since around August in Spain. He’s heading to USA this week to finish off the rest of the camp.

More known than 'Man Bun' Formella by far. Brook beat Porter in the US.
