Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford Starts Slow, Wipes Out Kell Brook in Fourth Round

[Lefty0616]

I'll give it to Crawford. I thought Brook would win. Looking at Brook, he has nothing left. Outside of fighting Khan, he should give it up and retire. He had no defense, and proved that he can no longer take a punch. Great insight, by Shakur Stevenson, btw. Just before the stoppage, he called it, "Once you open up against Brook, he doesn't like getting beat up". While I believe Crawford should be on the P4P list, I don't see him as #1 - maybe #5. He's a great puncher and finisher. I still feel he has yet to be tested. Bring on Porter, Spence, Thurman, Garcia - not small Pacquiao.

Listen to all of these revisionist historians now..."Brook is past it",
"Kell is a bum". The goalpost moving starts in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...
Brook is past it, but if that's the case, what explains all of the fools putting money down on him? Some of you jokers are real tools.

Do you understand how betting works? How much money do you think would be bet on crawford when he is a -1100 favorite? Lmao

He was the one that said that the a fighter has not been born this generation that could beat Loma.

The ESPN team is weak and they are cheerleaders.

I'm glad I'm not the only one

Watching boxing on espn is painful. They even got the ever outspoken ward to be a team player. It's pretty disgusting..

I got it 2-0 brook. Crawford is making a mistake switching to southpaw. He is opening himself up for that 1-2. Brook’s size is bothering him.

2-0 Brook

Crawford now will go with the southpaw stance, let's see if Brook can get his straight right going.

Crawford needs to go to the body more and take more risks. Spence broke Brook down with body shots, hard to beat him from the outside.

2-1 Brook. Crawford landing the right.

2-1 Brook the switch has helped Crawford

Brook didn't see that at all.

... it took two rounds until Bud timed Brook...
... in the third, he switched and landed his famous rights from the southpaw stance... Brook got buzzed...
... in the fourth, the same right -- coup de grace... Brook didn't see that at all...

One punch can change any fight, it happens!

Moloney was on fire and was much more rugged, Franco was too complacent and should’ve fought out the clinches more!

This deserves a trilogy

Moloney deserved the TKO. He was robbed. That was a ridiculous ruling.

Well Boxingscene, I did it again. I told you that Kell Brook was not going to quit, instead I predicted that Brook would get sparked by the P4P#1. Best In The World, Terence 'Bud' Crawford.

Now uncle Run, has some boxing to teach you : This weeks lesson is switch-hitting. In this case vs. Brook, Terence switched his stance for offense purposes, whilst throwing-off Kell's timing, as Crawford's attacks were now coming at different speeds and angles.

So 'BUD' confused Kell Brook when he switched, for reasons already explained. Terence, switch-hit-strategy afforded him time to find the right tool for the job, and sure enough he immediately found that his right hand over Brooks jab was the money-shot.

So here you go, study it and appreciate the technique, it was all apart of the plan ; but you thought Brook had a chance in the first two rounds huh?

Damn Crawford knows how to bring it Brook showed some of that class in the early rounds but he just can't take the punches anymore. Bud is the man at 147 I am so hoping the Spence fight happens in 2021 please dammit!

[Marvlus Marv]

Overmatched opponent gets an undeserved shot. Can we have a real fight next? No more of this pointless nonsense.

[Kiowhatta]

As long as PBC has a stranglehold on the talent at 147, we ain't gonna see the fights we want. Haymon doesn't give a **** about boxing, he's a financial broker, all he cares about is profit.

You could have got +1000 on Brook to win, enticing odds. Still hard to imagine how he could win outside sum sort of cut or injury to Bud? Brook started well against Spence, GGG, and Bud, but ultimately he loses against the top guys. He’s a tough guy for sure, always in shape, but he’s not that durable. He’s well muscled up and down but not broad or long. That was a jab/hook that scored the KD. I didn’t hear Shakur, but yeah that was a good assessment. He got a cool two extra extra large for four rounds of work. Sometimes being that level of opposition pays well. Who else can get that much being 15/1 underdog against Crawford? Brook should be dissatisfied but content at the same time. I hope he eventually gets the fight vs Kahn. I don’t think Khan wants it. The UK is too small for him to lose to Brook.

Brook paid the price for deciding to fight bums for the last 3 years.
