I don’t know, but I have the feeling Kell Brook’s eye sockets won’t hold too long in this fight. He is brave and will put on a fight, but eventually will succumb to his injuries. I see Crawford having problems the first 4 to 5 rounds though.
Everybody must be wondering about that eye socket. Hope it does not come down to that. Agree, first half of the fight could be exciting, even that slight remote chance of an upset.
Crawford is tough for anybody to figure out. Between his lateral movement and switching stances so often, that can be frustrating and not to mention the damage a person takes to solve the riddle he brings to the table. Crawford split decision.
Achooo
Under COVID-19 guidelines, I completed my annual “sauce sipping events” on specific dates 11/10 and 11/11 – I am slowly but surely recovering from it. My family members are used to it.
Anyhowww, during rounds 1-6, Crawford may want to stay on the outside with his long jabs, angles and combination punching because Brook may have a substantial weight advantage on fight night (maybe 165-167). Crawford has a tendency to look for “mixing it up” at times because he has a mean streak, but he should refrain from doing that early in the fight while Brook is fresh with the weight advantage.
Brook should try to get inside and try to make it a f-ugly fight while sneaking in close right hands and close uppercuts for disruptions of Crawford’s rhythm and physical/mental comfort levels.
During rounds 1-7, I expect high intensity before Crawford closes out a late TKO.
The size, power thing – Brook actually does not look bigger with the two of them facing each other – Will have to wait till the weight in to properly see I guess.
So happy for Kell to get another opportunity to fight for a title; TC will figure him out within 2rounds & then walk through him; my guess is Kell will stop after the 4th
kel stood with ggg ..he doesnt fear pantywaist crawfordd
You don’t have to have fear to get beat down. At least with GGG it didn’t go too long and he didn’t get hit with too many shots. Crawford about to unleash on him
So, how should we handle Covid-19 situation? Just curious….
I don’t think Crawford will stop brook unless the eye socket goes. He has a solid chin. I think Crawford points but would love to see brook win this. Khan would go into meltdown.
Bud is a fighter that works from a preferred set distance. He is hard to catch with a clean hard shot . One of the rare guys that has a built in radar system that protects his chin. Kal has to seek the heart, solar plexus and liver. A hard shot in these areas will freeze the radar. Loading up to the body is dangerous but this plan of attack might win the war.
As I have previously mentioned, Crawford has a very high ring IQ. Brook’s will make it interesting for the first 3-4 rounds all the while Crawford downloads the information. Crawford will then dial in his plan and begin to execute with a 7-8th round TKO.
This is a payday for Brook, expect nothing more, he is a beaten fighter and even if the fight goes the distance remember they are fighting in Vegas .
Crawford will be too much
