Brook was timing Crawford. Spence is a timing master.

    We can talk about Crawford getting hit but he has a chin and can fight back inside. I expect it to be a good fight.

    @147lbs - Crawford by late stoppage

    @154lbs - Crawford by split decision
    Despite Spence landing his knockdown on Porter while fighting backwards. But ok

      Because if that version of Kell Brook can mark Crawford's eye after two rounds of jabs and Kavaliauskas can two-piece, wobble and drop him, I mean...if Spence washes Swift, Crawford has no chance to beat Spence.
      Swift getting washed lol

      nobody washed Danny. both of his losses are controversial. and Spence might not even be the same fighter after flying through his windshield. we all saw tonight how important punch resistance is. Brook had none. and Erroll's resistance is gonna be tested by one of the biggest hitters in boxing. he needed a tune up but we'll see..

        And 2) Spence/Floyd/PBC fans who hate him because he is on the other side of the street.

        Those 2 groups will never give him any real love so I hope he excels extremely well going forward - will love to see how they try to hate on him lol.
        Then there are other fans like myself that appreciate his skill set but then look at what he has accomplished I.e undisputed Champion and think what live opponent did he face to get that accolade? Not his fault so I can’t really hold that against him. However, what’s disturbing even the washed up Kell brook that fought today was probably his toughest fight and most credible opponent. He hit him with a good shot in the 4th round but for 9 minutes he was very ordinary. Good finish nevertheless

          Crawford has improved a lot every time out, he is physically a very strong WW now, Brook is one of the biggest WWs out there and was out muscled. TC is the real deal and spells bad things for the other top WWs.

            Against Porter - a guy who charges forward like juggernaut without consistently being in place to do so. Stop playing...

              Yet no other opponent besides Broner could put Porter down.

              But like I said, ok

                After tonight's performance? People were downing him before the fight. Everyone knew this matchup was total ****. Brook hadn't fought at 147 in a little over 3 years, and has two broken orbital bones.

                Stop acting like this was some true matchup and serious test.

                  Bro you've been anti-Crawford for years...wake up and smell the coffee FFS

                  The guy is special, stop focusing on what he doesnt do well, and focus on what he does.

                  Haters gonna hate
