Could Brook actually beat Crawford?

[leathernvouges]

I love brook but it’s hard to determine what he’s fighting for a brook that beat porter can beat Crawford but that brook is long gone

[_original_]

I think he really could, Crawford has a terrible resume and loses rounds and gets clipped by damn near everyone he fights. I'm favoring Crawford but I wouldn't count out Brook if he comes in shape and focused.

Very much so, I actually bet $100 on Brook when Crawford was at 18-1 odds. People are massively disrespecting Brook, and this fight has trap written all over it.

I have this nagging feeling Brook will have a troubling (for a Crawford fan) amount of strong moments en route to a late Crawford TKO with lots of crowd-pleasing back and forth. As in, legitimately rattle Crawford once or thrice, possibly with KD. Just kind of an intuitive impression going from a precedence of Crawford looking very human on the way to closing a show and what comes across to me like a very motivated Brook sensing what is assuredly his last real hurrah.

It’ll be a great fight for sure.

Absolutely, I expect fireworks. I personally don't think the prospect of a full on Brook win is that strong but I wouldn't be remotely surprised to see passages that plant that seed of doubt

[Carpe Diem]

Brook has a decent straight right hand and a good jab. His timing will be key to offset Crawford midway, but as I said, Brook has too much defensive holes in his game and Crawford will eventually bully his way to a late TKO or KO.

Brook's size is what could help him.

Crawford won his first title 2 divisions below 147. Brook fought GGG for a title two divisions above 147.

Porter said he could definitely feel how much bigger Brook was when Brook was leaning and pushing him while they were in the clinch.

Brook has been fighting Light Middleweights since his late stoppage loss to Spence. Crawford has stopped all 4 Welterweights he fought, but Brook may have better durability than those 4 guys.

[GhostofDempsey]

It’s possible. He has to go to the body, that’s where Crawford gets hurt. I just don’t see how Brook gets to the inside without taking a lot of punishment.

[Pigeons]

No, he can't.
