Comments Thread For: Brook on Crawford: I'm Going To Be Focused To Produce The Win of My Life!

[SteveM]

How Brook looks at the weigh in will be important. Plus he also needs to control what and how he eats post weigh-in.

I would think that Brook is the hardest puncher that Crawford has faced. If Brook is not suffering weight issues then he will put hands on Crawford and unless Crawford lands a pin point shot on Brook's chin then Brook will be able to take the odd pot shot as he did against Golovkin for a while and Spence for longer.

Can't remember a recent fight whose outcome depends so much on weight management of one fighter. You could say Tank (but he is young but undisciplined) or Ruiz-Joshua 2 but that was just lazy indiscipline - Brook has the discipline but if his body says "no" then that's it.

Brook is coming to pick up his pension, after this fight he will be on a reality show tasing about how he has always been gay and he got stabbed because he tried it on with a guy in Spain.

[SplitSecond]

This fight is a waste of time!

Who do you want Crawford to fight? Porter fought a month ago, Pacquiao not fighting this year. I'm curious. It's an entertaining matchup, neither guy will run away, no one is likely to get blasted and it will test Crawford.

Rankings and belts aside, you think Crawford treats Brook like a shot fighter who doesnt belong in there? I see a barnburner. Two quick, skilled operators trying to take each others head off is always entertaining.

You can do it brook

Bud knows Kell is dangerous. His mindset alone makes him dangerous. He's fearless plus skilled. He's always fit and strong with good hand speed and good power. Bud has to break his will and break him physically. He's not going away quietly with his tail tucked between his legs, like Amir Khan did. He's going down punching. Big respect to Kell for taking this fight.

... Kell only quit when his both eye sockets were broken during the fights, respectively... the guy is a very skilled boxer and a true warrior... but a little bit old right now... we'll see...

Brook is dangerous early on, but the longer the fight goes on, the more it favors Crawford. And let us not forget the eye issue. An injury like that never fully heals.

Spence struggled to make weight vs. Porter, and it showed!

Spence: I Made The Porter Fight A Lot Harder Than It Was Supposed To Be

One of the most important improvements Errol Spence Jr. has committed to making since surviving his scary car accident is to avoid adding too much weight between bouts.

Spence estimates that he was 189 pounds when he began a nine-week training camp for his welterweight title unification fight against Shawn Porter seven months ago. Entering camp that heavy forced the 5-feet-10 Spence to lose 42 pounds prior to their weigh-in and, according to Spence, impacted his performance during a 12-round fight he won by split decision September 28 at Staples Center in Los Angeles...

The 30-year-old Spence then explained everything entailed in dropping that much weight in such a short period of time.

“You basically have to cut everything – your water intake, your food intake, you’re running twice a day,” Spence said. “Like I was running twice a day in my sauna suit – a sauna suit on my legs, a sauna suit up top, you know, working out in a sauna suit. You know, I’m not drinking that much water. I’m probably drinking I would say probably 26 ounces a day, if that. I’m eating probably twice a day.

189 to 147! That's insane! I don't know what was Kell's starting point, but I hope he took it off properly, or else, he's outta there in 7!

I think brook can pull this off. Even with losses to GGG and Spence, his resume Is better in terms of facing top level opponents than Crawford.

Please explain.

[Calibaloc]

Please explain.

What he said is pretty self explanatory not only that its not even up for debate. Brook has fought Porter, GGG, and Spence. Thats pretty much all that needs to be said.

Crawford is a slow starter, so it will be a late round stoppage win. Brook is there for a pension payment despite the noise he is making.
