I mentioned it in some pre-fight posts but I didn't know for sure if Brook would be weight-drained with complete certainty because he said he's been training and in fighting shape since the start of the pandemic.
Brook hasn't fought at 147 for two and a half years. As soon as he got hit with some meaningful shots he couldn't take the power. Crawford had him stumbling across the ring and nearly out the ropes with a beautifully placed and well-timed shot, but it wasn't necessarily a full on power shot. Brook did have forward momentum too so that must have increased the impact but would an optimum Brook really be so stunned by that particular shot - unless he was weight-drained?
When a fighter's weight-drained, one of the possible consequences is that his punch resistance is reduced both to the body and the head so punches will have much more of an effect than usual.
