Crawford/Brook (announced on broadcast) - Crawford down to 11-To-1 favorite

[Combat Talk Radio]

Confirmed myself on BetOnline.

FYI - this means a LOT of people are betting on Kell Brook. More than usual.

I'm not betting this time because it's just too unsure, but damn. I wonder what people know. Something smells.

I bet on Kell Brook when it was 18-1. Can't pass up on those odds when Brook does have a realistic chance of beating him if he can be even 80% of what he was at 147.

11-1 is still pretty big no?

Odds generally get closer as the flight gets closer anyway.

But on paper, Brook has a lot of tools that you would probably need to be Crawford. Brook has no problem with switch hitters because he’s been in a gym that trains fighters to switch since he was a kid and he can do it himself. So whereas a lot of fighters are not prepared for that, it’s not really going to be an issue.

Brook always had excellent timing and can punch well with the either hand, and I think to beat Crawford you would need excellent timing to catch him and catch him hard. Brook is also very physically strong, even Spence says even now that he’s strong as hell.

On paper, four or five years ago I would say Brook has an excellent style to cause Crawford real problems, but the big question is can he still do what he could do then

I think a lot of people that know boxing might be putting bets on because if he has one really good performance left in him, then stylistically it’s a real fight.

Put it this way, nobody is questioning Brooks ability, they are mainly doubtful that he has much left.

That the thing those odds in a 2 man race are worth a flutter to loads that support an underdog, theres been a 65k bet on Brook the rest small bets just lots of them.

Notice during telecast the interview with Mike Tyson, was asked do you want to fight AJ or Fury for the HW title at age 54, instantly Exhibition man exhibition, bring the people together that title stuff is all BS, exhibition!

That should put an end to the talk Mike is going box for real.
