It’s Khan too fast??

What I'm thinking too. I favoured Brook for a long time though. Very hard to call because Khan has lost his heart and also can't take punishment.

Brook was countering well and Jabbing. Once TC switched, he took that jab away.

I hope to look that good at 89

Kell should have throw punched Crawford or punched him in the cooter.

Crawford was good for the win.

I haven’t watched the fight, because I refuse to paying to watch mismatches, but it would be great if someone could let me know how accurate my prediction was...

But from the fourth round onwards, I expect Crawford to gain the winning momentum and beat up the Brit. Forcing a stoppage during the middle rounds...

100 percent of the fight prediction players nailed this one, crawdaddy just obviously was too good

Impressive. Bring on Porter and Spence/Garcia winner. No more games

BTW besides his complete boxing skillset, i am very impressed by Crawford physicality, strength and toughness, compared with bigger and more muscular fighters at 147.

A question for you guys...

ESPN, Top Rank’s home network, rates Crawford as being the best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet, despite his thin resume and his own admission of Kell Brook being his biggest test.

Do you think it’s reasonable to rate him so highly, considering his most recent notable victory happened almost 3½ years ago?

And if so, at what point are we supposed to lose patience?

Personally-speaking, if he doesn’t face a top-five rated welterweight during 2021, then I’ll consider him a hype job that doesn’t deserve to be considered a top-ten pound-for-pounder.

My words might seem harsh, but he’s the only person that should be blamed for choosing the pay cheque over sporting legacy and credibility.

And I won’t applaud him or rate him based on what might have been, had he chosen a different career path.

It annoys the hell out of me to think that the media seems impressed by Crawford winning a fight most of us predicted as being blatantly horrendous mismatch.

Crawford is the sweet science master, the second coming of Sugar Ray Leonard, the true welterweight king, the true p4p leader.

Crawford gave away the first couple of rounds in the orthodox stance, he often does so to adapt, to calculate opponents, to try something new and his tactics is justified, because after that an opponent is Crawford's. It was the same here. Brook was sentenced since the 3rd round.

The hook, that was crucial, was perfect, so fast, short and sharp. Absolutely beautiful to watch. Perfectly executed. So short, as if it was a jab. Yet powerful.

This was the most convincing win over Brook up to the date.

Crawford is a masterful beast in his prime. Grandpa Bob should understand this and bring the best opposition for Crawford, while Crawford maintains his peak.

I agree with the sentiment of the above even if I don't think Crawford has had the opposition yet to start SRL comparisons.

I've always been a Brook fan, at least in terms of style, but was concerned that the weight yo-yoing and lifestyle between fights would catch up with him - I don't think that was a factor in this fight at all. I think he looked as good as he has done physically, and was boxing as well as he could have with sharp jab and counters in the first couple of rounds - I know he does that in fights and then fades but he looked fit and sharp. At the conclusion Crawford was just too cute and I think Brook's appetite for battle since Golovkin has affected his response to heavy fire meaning he just covers up against a good finisher.
I'd still like to see Crawford-Spence and maybe how he deals with Pacman before proclaiming him as the next SRL/Mayweather etc.

His resume is pretty solid to me, but he still missing that career defining fights. I still think he has at least 3-4 years of prime, he must dealt with Spence, Garcia, Porter and others if he wanna spot in history next to Mayweather or Leonard

You nailed an 11-1 favorite. Very impressive.

‘I haven’t managed to see the fight yet and due to tragically having one more vertebrae than I would like, I haven’t yet managed to suck my own cock over the result, could someone else suck it for me please?’

I know we should discard judges scores, especially when it’s only scored for 3 rounds, but what’s with Patricia?

Did she get the boxers mixed up?

TBH I scored it exactly as she did.

I think this spells the end of the game for Brooks as far as huge fights go.
