Comments Thread For: Crawford: I'm Not The One That Ever Quit In A Fight; Can't Say Same For Brook

Seems I am not the only one rooting for Kell.

Against Golovkin, Ingle had that towel ready to go from Rd 1. Which was only right, he was protecting his guy. But the best protection would have been not signing the contract.

No shame in ending a fight over broken orbital bones.

You'd be ****** to risk blindness like Margarito did. Now he wears the permanent damage for the rest of his life. What was the reward?

To not be labled a quitter.

I respect both these men, but Brook is not the same. This would be a fine match if Crawford had fought anyone since moving to 147. As someone who routinely defended him it is pretty obvious now what is important to Crawford. I always thought he moved to 147 to face the best. I no longer believe it. In my humble unimportant opinion, he is fine with his legacy and is padding his bank account. That zero in his "L"column means more than the names in his "W" column. ESPN needs him, so they are happy with supporting Crawford and paying him for whoever he fights.

Brook will give a good accounting of himself because he is talented and has fought at the top level. I will giggle if he pulls the upset. But Crawford has everything pointing in his direction.

Hope his next fight proves me wrong, but I feel another "mandatory" coming on involving a name no one knows.

Wonder how many fighters would carry on with their eye wobbling about due to a smashed orbital bone. Only one I can think of was Margarito and that’s only because Manny went soft on him in the last two rounds out of pity. Reckon Bud would fold too. Might find out I guess.

Because Brook was desperate for some of those big £££s Hearn was offering him to take the fight.

Hope Brook wins, Crawford has always been the bigger fighter and never fought a beast GGG.
Easy to keep fighting against Gamboa, GGG and Spence is a whole different level (size at least).
Can't hate a guy for not wanting to lose a eye, he gave his all and showed heart.

Brook will just try to survive, watch and see then ask me how I knew.

Brook is there to survive and collect a big paycheck
