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

[MDPopescu]

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.

... and it also was a short one... but he didn't see it coming at all...

Internet connection went tf off during the main event,by the time it reconnected,only see crawford koing brook. Rewatched the fight, Crawford showed boxing iq didn’t go wild like he fought kavaliauskas ,kept his hands high, waited to counter more. But brook was so drained and washed,his shape got me fooled, was expecting a better fight, the fight was disappointing, there was barely any activity in the fight he was drained and the damage over the years, no explosiveness and punch resistance anymore.and this is gotta be Crawford’s strongest look ever he looked 170 there just as big if not bigger than brook,his physique give me a feeling that he can maul Spence . I hope he fights Spence next year, for legacy..no point fighting the old pacquiao.

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

It was smart to do so. GGG destroyed him for good. He was paid well to fight that bums and now he came for last cash out.

Mark Kriegel is the worst. Brook was being gracious, honest and accurate in his assessment (styles make fights) and Kreigel was harassing him to state why Bud is special.

Kriegel adds absolutely no value to the broadcast. His takes are stale and he thinks he's more wise and insightful than he actually is.

I have no real problem with Bradley, Ward and Tessitore and I think they are getting better as team. Timmy is Timmy, Ward is reserved, articulate and always has his subtle bias towards fighters in which he sees something similar to himself. Tessitore is just a solid professional play by play guy whatever the sport. Kriegel has to go tho.

I had pretty much the same take from that post fight with Kell Brook.

Brook was humble and spoke about how he is fine with going out on his shield and how the better man won tonight. Mark Krueger kept annoying him for comments about Crawford ability compared to Spence and how that fight goes. Brook deflected those questions well and got his point across with class without taking the bait from Mark Krueger tonight.

I’d like to see Kell Brook walk away from boxing because he’s such a great guy and don’t want to see his eye sockets get damaged or instead of fighting a lot to just a huge payday in England against Amir Khan which has been teased out there for quite some time now.

Bud would have eventually won but that was a weird and lucky punch. Seems like the momentum of them running towards each other did it, then Crawford closed out.

Sad for Kell. He is obviously copiously talented. Guess he should think about doing his farewell fight next.

Who wants to fight Crawford after seeing that??

So Horn lasted a lot longer than Brook against Crawford, which did not surprise me at all. Crawford is right to judge Horn as his best opponent, Horn should be acknowledged for his performances but that will never happen due to Packy cry boys and the establishment boxing mafia who don't like out siders.

Amir Khan actually done much better than Brook 'Which is probably done to being stronger at 147, Khan even now has the ability to cause some guys trouble at the top'.

[JayCho]

Did anyone think that Brook looked awful when he was winning the first two rounds anyway? His jab looked super slow with not much pop behind it either.

Could it be the weight factor? Even though he can make 147, its just damaging to him

Arum always talk **** after a Duckford win but won't ever make thenSpence fight.
