This is going to be a good fight, Kell Brook of England vs Terence Crawford set on November 14

Brook beat Porter six years ago (Porter as still green), but it was his mistakes to face GGG in 2016, and it was a devastating lost for Brook as it was really a mismatch as Kell's eye socket open broken. And then he fight Spence Jr. which he also lost, he was really doing good early on, but we all know how Spence is, he will break you down and that's what happen.

No odds in sports bookies, but I'm sure Crawford will be the favourite. I'm seeing Crawford by TKO/KO in the later rounds. But it will be good early as Brook is known to start strong but faded in championships round.

I would say it's a great fight, Kell Brook also has an impressive record so I think it's not an easy fight for Terence Crawford here although he is the champion and still undefeated. It's always expected that Terence Crawford will be the favorites here in betting sites but let's see if what's the odds of Kell Brook as well, it might worth a shot to bet on the underdog.

Kell Brook record, from 39 fights he got 27 KOs, impressive.

https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/272717.Kell+Brook+v+SenchenkoThe

I thought that it will be a domestic, all England match between Brook and Khan? There has been talks for this years ago. I'm guessing it fall out as Brook will be taking on the champion Bud Crawford. Kell Brook is good no doubt about it, but I would say that he is also like Amir Khan, already in the downturn of his career. Yes he has a impressive record, but Bud Crawford is pound for pound. And him and Spence as just above the rest of the 147 lbs guys now.

Yes, Brook could be a live underdog here, impressive record, but his lost was really brutal, GGG and Errol Spence broke his orbital bone. So that alone will be a big disadvantage for him. Although he has bounce back ever since, but it's again no name competition and although he dominated, he was extended to 12 rounds. And maybe those fights are really just a 'get confident' fight.

But now he is stepping up the plate and fight the best in the welterweight division. So again, that orbital bone might crack it Crawford hit that again and I'm sure he will target that to test Brook. So it could last a good 1-3 rounds and then Crawford taking over and put a punishment. So I don't see Brook upsetting Crawford here.

And he is not getting any younger anymore, he is already 34 years old, most boxers at that age has already decline their power and speed, of course Manny Pacquioa is exceptional though, so I guess you are right, there's a little chance that he could upset Crawford here though Brook's record is impressive as well.

^^ I agree that at his age, he longer possessed the speed and reflexes because of the so many battles he fought, like the Golovkin and Spence destruction of him. Of course, he can bark all he can, but we all know that fighters who uses more of their mouth losses in the end.

He will be facing one of the best in Welterweight division, hasn't been damaged that much and he is the reigning champion.

Here is Spence vs Brook: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyHnCwJuutM

In a boxing match usually we will going to compare both players of their boxing records and then bet on chosen boxer in the match up.

Kell Brook

total fight - 41
total wins - 39
win by tko - 27
loss - 2


Terence Crawford

total fight - 36
total wins - 36
win by tko - 27
loss - 0

Both players had great percentage of winning by knock out. In this bout I prefer Terence Crawford for such impreasive record with no loss and high percentage og knock out.

This fight would be unpredictable because both fighters had good reputation. Brook has better experience than crawford but crawford still had no losss being made and consider as tough fighter.

Almost same stats both of them has a good boxing career,this is surely a best fight of the year .
Age is near to be the same 33 and 34 years of age.

Height is also close 175 cm and 174

though in Reached there will be advantage for Crawford as he was 188cm while Brook is only 177cm.

i will only rely in Odds upon betting because this will surely a close fight.

Just an update in case you are looking for one:

Kell Brook Will Be Without Ingle For Terence Crawford Fight


https://www.boxingscene.com/kell-brook-without-ingle-terence-crawford-fight--152419

So Brook will train in Spain, and his long time trainer doesn't want to go because of the risk of the pandemic. He insist that Brook train in England and not somewhere is. I think this is a big development, as switching trainers during a high level fight is not normal and could affect Brook's performance.

One example is Whyte, with a new trainer prior to his devastating lost to Povetkin.

This is the first time I see a boxer not having a trainer for himself, it's like playing a basketball being a playing coach. wow.. this is just unique, hope it will have an impressive result and he could beat the heavy favorites here.

Some trainers are hired and not really related to the boxers, while some are close friends and had been coaching the boxer since he started his career. But in Brook's case, his trainer simply declined due to the pandemic and the risk of going abroad (clearly stated by Baofeng). Ingle also stated that,

which simple indicates that whether Brook has Ingle's coaching and training or not, Brook knows his thing as Ingle trusts him that he can.

---

Basically, my judgement is that Brook can handle this fight very well. It is really an issue if a boxer has never been lost in a game, as it could indicate that he never had any frustration nor motivation to not lose at all. Also, having the change of coach wouldn't mean that the routine and the boxer's strength would change as well. Hence, this might be a close fight, but Brook has more chance.

I think training really matters for a boxer to improve every skills they have, and with his new trainor this is new challenge to face. There's a lot of adjustments to make here, because previous mistakes should be reviewed so that he won't lose for upcoming fight. Hopefully this man who handles him, would give him the best training and move for a new chapter of his career. If he lost with Povetkin, then he should consider it as his strength to move further.

It's still different when you don't have a trainer on your side, that will be experience during the actual fight as trainers also dictate what to do as they see better what the opponent is throwing on their fighter. I was just amaze that this things happened, like I said, it's my first time to see it, but you are right, that is due to pandemic as well, I just don't read that part maybe as I got excited to comment when reading he is training without a trainer.

---

Good luck to that, beating an undefeated and a young fighter is a very hard task.

We now have an idea on the betting odds of this fight.

https://www.gamblingsites.com/picks/terence-crawford-kell-brook-betting-preview-november-14-2020/

https://i.imgur.com/YERSsOv.png

Would you bet on that odds?

I think it's not really attractive but we can bet on odds like Crawford winning by KO, or a KO win from a certain round.

Terence Crawford is almost the same age as Kell Brook (he is a year younger than Kell Brook), but I think Terence Crawford is one of the boxers who has nice footwork and this thing will make it difficult for his opponent to follow Crawford's movements and he can easily control the match.

If he is in a good shape and plays patiently like he usually does, then he will most likely come out as the winner in this match.

i believe that this is what the good trainer must stand,we knew how important a trainers decision in every boxers life because they are the strength and future of their boxers so i don't know why this needs to happen,is there any under the table problem here?
I don't know if the New trainer will fit and compatible for Brook,but with this close time?just 1 month before the fight and the trainers need of exchange?
really this will affect the ring performance of Brook and may be an advantage for Crawford.

The odds are already in:

https://i.imgur.com/mYj8W4s.png

As expected, Crawford in an overwhelming favourite, but it seems that Kell Brook doesn't get the respect from sportbookies. And they seems to be see a beating coming from Crawford. I'm sure this odds will change, but at least we have seen it already, so it's up to you whether to bet the ML or not.

Looking forward to seeing this fight as well because both of them are good fighters in their respective weight division. However, the fight might not have the same atmosphere as we used to see but the two fighters in the ring won't be bothered by the atmosphere. as long as the bell will ring the two of them will try to knock out each other. so that's all we need to expect that these two boxers will give us one of the most exciting fights in 2020.

The ML line is not that attractive, perhaps as the fight gets closer, we might see other options, like per round or per KO line. Crawford has all the advantage and with the change of trainer, it might have an impact on Kell Brook at he needs a lot of adjustments and we can only hope that it will make him better in his fight.

And it looks like the odd maker didn't bother to look at Crawford coming from a life threatening incident and really put him at almost winning this fight without any problems.

This is going to be a very exciting match and it's one of the biggest test for Crawford, Brook has been to a lot of wars and he has a very impressive record, I'm for Crawford here he is a perfect technician in the ring and considered to be the best in the welterweight division I love Manny Pacquiao but the guy Crawford is a real dominant fighter, I'm sure he will also dominate this fight.
But of course I don't rule out an upset here Brook is still capable, I hope to see this fight as it happen i hope I can get a free posts on one of the sports page I'm following.

In my opinion boxing right now isn't exciting

even the boxers  cause they didn't know how to fight like a warrior they fight smart like a floyd  most likely the fans really want a exciting fight and the only boxer exciting to watch is legendary Manny Pacquiao mark my word this coming fight of Manny Pacquiao against Conor McGregor
It will be the most exciting to watch

Every fighter has a different style, I'm glad you still see somehow who really is a fighter so don't generalize, Floyd is only one, he might be boring but that does not represent the rest of the boxers, I still believe that most champions are really fighting like a warrior.

Like this fight, " Kell Brook vs Terence Crawford " to be specific, both have great KO percentage, so it's expected that we will see a fight between two warriors.

Bro it's just my opinion

The fight between Pacquiao and McGregor is really exciting but while waiting for that event boxing fans and gamblers are also waiting for any incoming fights to happen.
Crowford was known after the fight with Pacquiao throwing some words and unable to put his mouth to the right position he eat it all after losing with Pacquiao.
from your point of opinion, for sure it's how the fighter being trained and strategies are fight of being
a fighter, if you want to stay longer from this sports then you need to care about your conditions, whatever
trainings and fighting style each boxers used, it's always part of how they trained against their opponents.

Edit: It was Thurman and not Crowford that I'm referring.

my opinion is not a close fight kell brook lost to ggg and errol spence jr. which is for me has same level to crawford and hundred percent sure terrence crawford will win cause he his undefeated unless he k.o and remember the promoter of terrence crawford is bob arum which is bob arum is very good at choosing a boxer and he knows that boxer he choose has a future in boxing

do you mean crawford more famous than pacquiao im gonna ask you why bob arum is placed manny pacquiao in undercard and the  main event is crawford?

 compared the old boxer and new gen boxer old boxer is exciting to watch cause they fight toe to toe and they don't care what happen on their own and some boxer die at ring or after the fight

I don't know if you are really a fan of boxing it seems the last boxing match you've watched was Pacquiao's match and that's over a year ago, there's a lot of exciting boxing match in recent months and more are coming have you seen Whyte getting knock out by Alexander Povetkin it's one of the upset fight of the year and there are to many to mention and many more coming.

bro im gonna ask you why young boxer is always choose pacquiao than the other boxer?

Top Rank is closing the year with a really good schedule. There's this fight, Inoue-Moloney, Berchelt-Valdez, and a Tyson Fury tune up coming up.

Pacquiao is Legendary. A boxer who fights him and even lose will still have honor because once you are matched to him, its like you did have a chance to beat the champ. But this Mcgregor cross matching is all for money only.

There are more fights to watch like this Terrence Crawford and Brooks and Inoue-Moloney. These are exciting fights because you can anticipate a knockout.

Indeed. There are a lot of 'undefeated' young fighters that ends up losing after they were being too confident being entitled as a fighter with no loss. It wasn't really a hard task especially with this fight especially with the handicap of Brook still having no coach. therefore, both of them have a huge boulder to bear on their shoulders. Brook's having no coach for this fight, and Crawford having no loss to fight against a much experienced boxer. So maybe maus is right, and somehow wrong. Right in a way that this is a close fight, but wrong in the claim that Brook has the advantage. For me, Crawford is the one with more chance of winning, or should I say a 51:49 chance.

The chance you've given is too fair, the odds is very much unfair in this fight, you can see the real betting odds from one of the sportsbook I'm using.

Huge paycheck.

I respect your opinion bro, I may have agree on some points of your argument. But Floyd is different breed of boxers if I may say, he maybe an old school fighter because of his uncle and father who teach him 'not to get hit'. But there are a lot of warriors now, even Pacquaio at his age is fighting these upcoming fighters.

There is also this boxing politics that's why we seldom see mega-fights because of this ABC title belts. Let's stick to the subject though, even though Crawford is the favourite, we are going to see a exciting fight for sure as Kell Brook won't back down from any challenges, like you said, he took his chances against GGG.

Gennadiy Golovkin is a heavy puncher than Terence Crawford, Kell brook can take Terence Crawford's punches here, and this will be an exciting fight.

Comparing Terence Crawford and Gennadiy Golovkin, Gennadiy Golovkin has a higher KO percentage with more experience as well, the fight has 35 KOs of his 40 fights, that was just crazy. https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/356831

^ Because Pacquaio had been proven his skills in a fighting match that shows his power that has the ability to knock down his opponent using his powerful punches. If you see the Cotto fight and him, you definitely believe his skills in fighting in the boxing ring. That's why many people want to see these two fighters in one boxing ring proving their selves as good fighters. Let us have a look at the facts of each fighter’s contrasting tools that they will bring to the ring if they were to meet. Nevertheless, let see this match of Kell Brook vs Terence Crawford on November 14, it almost there.

Hey! Pacquaio is really popular, I can notice that in every thread in this forum about boxing, I can find his name though he is not part of the fight.

You guys rock! After this, what about Pacquaio vs Crawford? They've been hyping it but it did not happen yet.

Kell Brook is a good and a stubborn fighter but I consider Crawford to stop him and punished him, I don't think Brook can withstand Crawford, guy is just to powerful and versatile, and this is a good stepping stone to a fight against Errol Spence that should happen for two guys who are on top of their games.

A lot of names have been throw in Pacquaio, Crawford and Spence should be the front runner as both as young and champion and wanted to get a crack at the legend.

But Crawford needs to get Brook out of his way though, if he doesn't get Pacquaio then Spence, that is good match as well and I'm sure as boxing fans, this is the best fight for the welterweight division. But I do hope that boxing politics will not get in the way though, as Arum might not allow Crawford or Spence advisers will also do that same.

So let's just hope that Crawford vs Brook will be good fight as expected, although Crawford seems to be the favorite.

The politics in boxing is what restrict two great fighters to go for each other, take the case of Fury and Joshua and the should be done fight of Wilder against Joshua, it did not materialize because of the too many politics and the shares of the money on who should get the big slice, promoters and the organizations wants to push the potential of a big fight to the limit, this is to generate more money and interest.

If we look at the statistics of the two boxers, they are almost evenly the same, starting from the number of knockout wins,
their height and age are not much different. Therefore, I believe this is a very entertaining battle, because it is difficult to
predict the outcome. Both boxers have an equal chance of winning. But I think Terence Crawford can beat Kell Brook,
since Crawford still holds the unbeaten record, Crawford will definitely try hard to maintain his winning streak.

How can it be almost the same, Kell Brook has more fight than Crawford but he is not undefeated like Crawford.

And honestly, looking at the record and bet on the fight does not really help a lot, there's a lot of factors we have to consider as every opponent have different approach or style in a certain fight, it's like a chess match and these two fighters are clever, they have enough experience in boxing already.

Crawford will dominate this match because Brook has a weak spot and weak side it was exposed in his loss to Spence, Spence totally dominate Brook for an 11th round knockout of course there is a possibility of an upset but knowing Crawford he is a very prepared fighter, I consider this as a continuing domination of Crawford in the welterweight division.

There's no assurance that this could happen, just like the fight that we witnessed today, most of us expected that Loma would dominate Lopez in the fight but what happen was the other way around.

I guess many here bet on Loma. Lopez had just the biggest win of his career.

But for the odds in Brook vs Crawford, from the bestodds site. Sportsbet not yet added on their list.

https://i.postimg.cc/sXMTLzdK/Screen-Shot-2020-10-18-at-5-42-58-PM.png

Sportsbet was already added, it's in the last.

This one has a been odds for the underdog  Kell Brook  as he got 7 while Lopez on Loma's fight, Lopez only got 4.

Well, I agree that Brook might be the underdog here. Crawford perhaps be the favorite most of the bettors.
However, I will not be able to say that this will be an easy game for Crawford. Brook still had time to grow as a boxer. Also, a money wise, --if the oligarch will decide that Brook has to win on this match, then he will win. Oligarchs will then make profits from it.

Wait, what?

Why do you think Brook will be the underdog here?
Have you seen or do you have an idea what's the current record Brook has?

He has more impressive tenureship compared to Crawford as a professional boxer. Also had more TKO standing compared to Crawford. SO I guess, this will be enough to consider Brook as the best. I guess, the reason why Brook loss from his 2 previous matches is because he's getting old. But now, I assume that he is going to be more strong.

No question with Brook fighting experienced as he have the Qualifications, for sure that the reason we have this fight since both camps have their respective achievements.

It's not an easy fight for Crowford since given a chance Brook will knock him down, but like what you have said from those previous loses of Brook age really affecting him.

There's always open chances for both Champs, it's the strategy that they'll be playing around
to win over another.

Some people consider Brook to be an underdog, maybe because Brook has lost twice. But that doesn't mean Brook is a weak boxer,
because with the 39 wins Brook has gotten. This is a sign that Brook could be a serious threat to Crawford, maybe Crawford will dominate
the match, but if not careful Brook can release a dangerous punch. Which could possibly knock Crawford out of his way, anything can happen
in the boxing ring.

We have a lot of upsets here this year and maybe Brook can deliver a big one before the end of the year, this is going to be a very shocking news in the boxing community, I consider Crawford here as the strong favorite but remember Brook is a former champion and he has a lot of tough fights in the past, so his chances is good but not big.

Yes, looking for upset, we never know what will happen as pandemic changes the habit of some athlete, and we've seen that in the fight that was recently concluded, this one, another great fight to watch, Crawford is undefeated while Kell Brook was already on his retirement age, let's see what would happen but it's nice to put some bet just for fun, underdog is a great bet here if you can easily let go of loses.

This would be a good fight and we are closing to reality as the fight is near 25 days to go,hope this will not change again like other fight moving dates.

Nope losses is not the basis of which will win,because never forget that these boxers has a strong punch that can bring down opponent in single Job.

Yeah, it seems that this pandemic has really had some effect on athletes isn't? And there is the 'no-crowd' as well, and as much as Crawford is really what we called an outstanding favourite, we can't discount the fact now, that upsets is a possibility with this environment.

I know you gonna bet some bets on Kell Brook mate, because I observed that you love underdogs, specially live one.  ;D. Again, as I have said before, a .5 mBtc is not that big to put money on any underdogs and it's gonna be worth once an upset happens.

Just take a look at the recent fight of Loma & Lopez, a lot are expecting that Loma will win but inside the ring, we definitely saw the Lopez power. So I think, a lot of bettors will go for Brook this time.  ;) This is interesting to see what's gonna happen inside the ring.

That was clearly an upset, but it was a clear dominant fight of Lopez against the previous champion, so this one is not really a big upset though.

Probably, but upset does not happen all the time or most of the time, so be careful.

There's a big difference on the Loma - Lopez fight to the Kell Brook vs Terence Crawford fight , Brook is not a champion and he is not undefeated I'm not saying that Brook is not capable of an upset, but Crawford is just to good for a fighter and he is a natural welterweight this will be another Crawford dominated fight, we cannot compare it to the Loma - Lopez fight. 

Another big difference is that Lopez is very young, Brook is already on the decline, way past his prime is the shorter guy doesn't have the power. While Crawford, although not that young as well, but he is much the fresher of the two and is peaking or at this prime condition.

One thing worth mentioning as somewhat said, this pandemic has somewhat impacted these boxers, whether mentality or physical. I'm not saying this as an excuse for the Loma upset, but there's something in him when he step up inside the ring. As to who is affected here negatively? hard to say.

There is already an odds in cloudbet.
https://www.cloudbet.com/en/sports/boxing/international-matchups/4324337/terence-crawford-v-kell-brook

This will be an easy win for Crawford for sure but lets not be one sided here :D. Probably another upset can happen like what happened last match. For sure many will favor Crawford here. They are also have many knockouts (both have 27) so I think that this will have a high chance that will end in a knockout.

Crawford looked vulnerable early on in his last fight against Mean Machine. He might be starting to show his age or it could have been an off night. Kell Brook is seemingly an easy opponent because he was never really the same after getting his eye socket broken in back to back fights. Like Loma, Crawford is also a slow starter so Brook has to take advantage of this early in the bout. With his experience he might fare better luck than Mean Machine and Benavidez and be the one to pull off the upset if he puts enough rounds in the bank.

The odds speaks for itself and yeah, a crowd favorite for Crawford but it doesn't mean that this will be an easy fight considering the history fights of Brook though it come short on his last fight but the record is still good. A slow start for Crawford on his last fight, but still ended up on a good position and I'm also expecting a knockout match for this two boxer, I'll go bet for Crawford on this time but I'm not that confident that he will win easily.

There's no assurance that Crawford will win the match and sometimes the underdog got the chance to win especially on a boxing where physical talent should be present on the day of the fight. Considering the clean record of Crawford, he has the advantage but the 2 losses of Kell Brook can't affect this performance especially now that he want to win another fight. I don't bet on unfamiliar boxer for me, but this one I'll go for Brook he looks more fit to me, well this is just my simple analysis base on their records and previous fight.

Kell Brook has an advantage in terms of experience as he was able to fight a total of 41 with 39 wins and 2 loses while Terence only has 36 fights
but with regards to ability, Terence is in advantage as he is currently holding a Title while Kell don't have any.

They both have 27 KO's so we can consider it as close fight and they must be in their good shape if they like to win in this match because a single
mistake can easily end the fight. And I agree that Terence will be the favorite in terms of odds.

Kell Brook even said that he will shock the world, so he might be very confident about himself specially seeing the once invincible Loma to loss a one side match again Lopez. And with that attractive odds for him, there could be shift on betting specially from online sites regardless if fiat or crypto. England do still love Brook so I wouldn't be surprised if there will be wild odd swing to close the odds as we gets closer.

He's using the situation, lol-

We don't know if in what way he will shocked the world, but I would be glad to see him win in this fight as we are not really getting good odds betting on Crawford. He has many wins in his career, so it's alright to boost on himself as he knows his capability, but I hope he will remained focus especially in the right as Crawford is a different animal than Loma.

Terrence Crawford being undefeated, has the weight on him. If we would base on physiques, Crawford has the advantages not to mention his counterpunching skills which makes him one of the top pound-for-pound fighters of this date. What I mean with "weights on him" is that many people in in favor of him in this fight. That is how huge the influence of being undefeated not only their career but to almost any competition. But it does not guarantee victory. Things could either go as expected or not. Also, Brook has more experience which could be his trump card in this battle, which makes this match up more exciting IMO.

He has the advantage that's why he is the heavy favorites, if you see the betting line for this game, you are not gonna like betting on crawford because although he is likely to win but you'll not enjoy the winnings.  Kell Brook was once a champion as well, so Crawford gotta respect him.

Can Brooks upset Crawford?

https://tv5.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/29964890/can-kell-brook-upset-terence-crawford-right-fight-both

Totally agree! There's no reason to bet on Crawford because the odds in bookies is like 1.05 - 1.06.
Are you gonna waste your time betting on this odd? I don't think so.
Unless, you have the notion that Brook will win this match and take home about 8 -10x of your bet.
But still interesting to see both inside the ring.

Wont risk out something for that kind of odds, if that one is 1.25-1.4 then i might really consider it out but for 1.05?  Theyre just too confident on whose gonna win

but i do really feel the other way around.I dont know on how they do looked so down with Brook. Basing off stats (even though its not really highly reliable) but both are just
having the same record.

Knock out percentage? both 70% in all total fight records.The difference is on losses since Crawford is still undefeated and Brook has 2. Question on having an upset?
Im already anticipating that one thats why im with Brook on this one.  8)

With that high odds it's hard to resist even though Crawford here is the champion and undefeated.

Other boxing threads have voting poll, I think @Baofeng it's nice if you'll also add a poll here.

This is one of the best matches we will be having this pandemic year,Imagine almost the same stats between each others?
No wonder that it is hard to choose in which to bet or i may consider not betting at all for confusion .
Well brook might not be a champion and he is not undefeated but you can see His statistics and you'll find how good he is for this fight.

He was once a champion that's why he has a great statistics, but he is one of the boxers who's popularity has gone down already as he has lose against the best boxers in the sport.

His 2 losses was coming from Errol Spence Jr and Gennadiy Golovkin, and we know the caliber of this two.

They are pretty much the same with Crawford.

Never mind the two losses of Brook. Those are worthy losses in the hands of two really talented boxers. Those losses don't make Brook a bad boxer, not at all. But that might mean that he is definitely going to have a very hard time against Crawford, who could easily be the top pound for pound boxer today. As expected, the heavy favorite will definitely be Crawford. My money goes to him as well. 

Crawford will always be favorite if he is not fight an undefeated fighter.

Are you willing to take the moneyline which is only 1.06 in return of your bet?

I think putting on bets like handicap betting is all worth than winning 6% only, unless you are betting $100k as 6% of that amount is still sweet.

Well, I can't tell which one is the best among these two great warrior since both of them have had something that could change the pace of the game. Maybe Brook will bring down Crawford with his reach and strategy but Crawford also have the power to bring down any opponent he face-off plus the outstanding TKO and undefeated records might shake Brook but who knows? They said that having an undefeated records holder is more pressured than the ones who had some losses but that doesn't mean either one of them have to drop their guard because of overconfidence. 8)

I agree that those 2 losses are coming from a caliber fighter, but specially against, Golovkin, it was a mismatch and it really did take a toll on his body as his eye is really destroyed so we need to account that as well, while Errol Spence is huge and Brook has somewhat faded and loss steam in the fight. So whenever Brook step up with elite boxers, he got beaten. And now that he has age a lot and facing another elite and best boxers, I wouldn't be surprise if he fell short again.

Risking such huge amount of money to win a little might not be worth it, though like what you have said if he does really trust the fighter that's still consider as an easy money if he does perform the way you expect him.

In such instances, I prefer to opt out and just enjoy watching instead of betting as I'm not going to take the risk that kind of money as there's still possibilities that shit may happened along the way.

At least he is trying, he wants to fight the best boxers in the world, so we gotta respect this man and put a bet on him. Crawford though no doubt a  great boxer but he is not perfect as every boxer has a weakness, if Loma loss unexpectedly, anything can happen here as well.


Everyone expects this.

There's only one way to enjoy the right if we don't believe Crawford would dominate his opponent, bet on Kell Brook , with his odds, I find it attractive.
Won't do it in my case, I'll only bet on a boxer which I'm confident of winning, otherwise there's no sense, just bet the opposite player, who knows, this is again another upset.

I like Brook's mentality here:


https://www.boxingscene.com/brook-khan-believe-he-win-crawford-knows-im-dangerous--152766

Talking about his domestic rival Khan Lol, who fought Crawford but quit after he got hurt. But Brook says he will come with a mentality to win the fight against the champion and the huge favourite.

That's what all the boxers who fought Crawford says, but look what happen they got beaten up some badly, you can have a good mentality but if you don't have the power speed and the ring generalship you will come short, mindset is very important but so is toughness and skills and Crawford has all of this.

In the words of Iron Mike, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.  Everyone is on here talking about brook taking this one, lol.  Has anyone even watched Crawford fight?  Dude is straight beast in the ring, everyone always downplays saying this might be the one then gets straight annialated.  I see this one maybe going 4 or 5 with either a tko or ko and another win for crawford.

I've read through the entire thread and it sounds as though most are just posting nonsense about records lol.  You think the sports books give such big odds to Crawford as a gift???  :-\

LOL, at least we have someone here who understand how boxing is. Maybe people are just hyping it for Brook but the sportbookies are telling us otherwise.  ;D


Record is as good on paper, but come fight night, records doesn't matter as there are just two combatants in the ring, puncher each other until someone gets knockout.

People tend to use stats and standings as a way to analyze a fight which is rediculous.  And I've seen over and over on this forum people knock Mayweater as not a "true warrior".  These are the same people that know zero about boxing.  Ali perfected the rope a dope, where he just tired out his opponent and then when they threw themselves out of energy would go to town on them.  Floyd could never even get barely touch.  Love him or hate him as a person its undeniable he is one of the greatest ever to put on gloves.

Can't wait to watch Crawford go to work he is one of my favorite fighters right now.  He is one of the best in game fighters to be able to switch up fighting styles and adjust to put himself in position to win the fight.

The guy is not a hype, maybe as a gambler or a fan, we have different views on this fight and we can't just say that everyone should love Terrence Crawford as he is the better fighter, you know, upset is possible in boxing.



Honestly, I do believe that Crawford will win this fight but I'm hoping for an upset, can't resist the odds of Brook.

looks like crawford will get this one as though Brook is also strong starter,But asking for stamina it is  crawford's ability so in the End the later will win the fight.

Odds don't dictate who will win so lets see what will happen in the end,and still i'm with crawford.

At least there's a prize for the winners if there is a Poll for a single match .. ;D ;D ;D

Yeah of course, odds are just a probability of this fight, if Crawford wins and you put your bet on him, you'll win but 5% of your bet, not much enticing with small bet, try to bet on the handicap, it's more exciting and more worth of your bet, if Crawford is still Crawford, he should KO his opponent and that I think gives good odds.

Really interesting if in case Brook will win this fight by any chance. This year may be the year of underdogs after all. Will Crawford really live up to the expectations of his fans? 2 more weeks to go...

Good luck with that, but bear in mind that betting on high odds will result to losing most of the time and that is normal. What you should do is just don't bet blindly, do an analysis also before putting your bet, who knows this would be another upset by the underdog and that will destroy the clean record of Crawford.

That is the best thing to do. Looking into their previous fights, carrier record, that will help to make a good analysis, not just relying into odds because can't be just a sort of manipulation. Crawford make this right decision as well, now he needsto prove that he is better to him otherwise, the underdog will ruin his record. But then, I'm still putting my bet to Crawford, not exactly I like him but because he have that guts to win this fight.

Yes, if you look at the records, Crawford resume's really stand out and I would say that he has a tougher opponents, specially once he become a champion he faces different kind of fighters but the end result is the same. He either knock them out or win via technical knock out.

Again, Brook is good but he is way past his prime, but good fight for him, he still got the chance to face the best in the division and then have a good paycheck. But as far as winning, he has a slim chance against Crawford, it's just a matter of which round will Crawford will win, by KO/TKO.

Maybe they don't really appreciate the sweet science of boxing? LOL, there are casual fans here and then we have average knowledge and I would say some who really follow the sports many years ago and really betting on the fight.


One of the best p4p him and Spence are the best in the welterweight division right now. Love him when he goes unorthodox stance, those counter right and then followed by big left. I would say that he had fights wherein he has lost some rounds because he is reading this opponents, but when he adjusted already, expect him to finished the fight within 10 rounds or less.

Obviously the winning chance is very low because because everyone is favoring Crawford to win this fight.

However, Brook is not an easy opponent, as per his record, it says he is a dangerous fighter so Crawford can go for KO but he has to be careful and he might make a mistake that could give Brook a chance to knock him out, Brook has a good KO rate, he can do that.

Yeah I see that with a lot of the boxing threads here, most are just casual fans.  This fight isn't worth betting on.  Crawfords odds aren't worth laying money on and betting on brook is dead money.  Just enjoy the match for what it is :)

That's what I would do if I believe Crawford would easily win this fight, but I could also do some experiment laying a little amount for Brook to win, just for the sake of entertainment, who knows, he will hit a lucky punch, anything can happen, like what happen to LOMA, though not a lucky punch.

I believed that Kell Brook is dangerous, but in the early rounds. And as the fight gets along, Crawford ring's IQ is very high and he could figure a way to negate Brooks's strength and then go for a KO or TKO in the later rounds. The last time I watch him fight against Khan, he tried to get the feel and distance and then KD Khan in the first round, after that, Crawford put a clinic. Could be the same here, he is known to be a slow starter, but it doesn't mean that he is not reading his opponents early.

I'm sure Kell Brook knows that, he is the older fighter, his chances will reduce if he will take this fight to the later rounds, he should find a way to hurt Crawford in the early rounds and finish him if possible, that's the only way I'm seeing it now, or he could also be finish early if he is not careful but Kell Brook here has to take that risk if he wants to win.

Maybe the bookies also saw this weakness as the odds of course is favoring Crawford. ANd you will earn small percentage of your bet if you are rooting for Crawford. But if miraculously, Brook will win, those who will bet on him will win the big prize. But unlikely that it will happen.

Old fighters with the exception of Manny Pacquiao should scored points or stop his opponents, because if the fights drag on, old age will catch up with an old fighter, and Crawford is so good at making old fighters really look old, I don't want Manny Pacquiao to fight this guy he is the best welterweight of this era no doubt about it.

We never know if they will not fight, If Pacquiao beat Thurman who is a younger fighter, a champion and undefeated as well, then it's not possible to beat Crawford though he is the best in his division now. Pacquiao  is just ordinary, he is a living legend, if he agrees with the fight, that means he knows his chance is higher.

Here's the face-off:

https://www.boxingscene.com/photos-terence-crawford-kell-brook-face-face-final-presser--153187

For someone who is looking for the underdogs, then former champ Brook is your man here.  ;D, 9-1 odds.

I'm willing to gambling on that odds for as much as $100, that would be a sweet return if there's an upset in this game.

Saying good luck to everyone whichever side you are betting, let's hope for a clean fight and an exciting one.

if you will win, thats huge profit! but really doubt that brook will win in this match. exciting though how they will fight inside the ring.
 the odds dont change much, so bookies are pretty confident about this having 9-1 odds
but not worth betting on crawford, very little return unless you are betting huge money on him.

Whooah! That's huge and sweet once upset happened. It's worth to risk  knowing the capabilities of Brook he's rythm and conditions
are still a good foundation.

I might be taking this as well with some spare coins but not that much, palcing bet just to add excitement while watching the fight

might be a good break for the underdog.

Who knows though, we have seen Lopez or even Povetkin pulling an impossible upset recently so there still that possibility that even an again but experience Brook can stay with the champion for the whole 12 rounds and pulls an upset.

It's like what? 2 days before the fight? Brooks looks good in the face off, so it will be very interesting and exciting if bettors are going for the underdog for a huge windfall.

Here's some words from Kell Brook:


https://www.boxingscene.com/kell-brook-motivated-calzaghe-lacy-job-on-crawford--153219

He felt very confident that he can pull an "Teo Lopez" upset here, so we will see. hehehe

@Kasabus - yeah, probably Teo Lopez started this whole upset thingy this year but a underdog like Brook is worth to put a bet, even at half a stake.  :)

That's likely the underdog wanted to win over the big guy which is not impossible. He must have to prove it otherwise people will laugh into him.
The confidence that he brings in his mind is a driving tool to win. But I'm not sure if that enough for him to win.
No, I will still put my bet to Crawford, I have this feeling no matter how Brook makes a final word that we wanted to finish his opponent.

I'll probably just watch and enjoy this fight without putting any bet on the favorite. I don't like Brook's chances though. Everything points that Crawford can either win by decision or knock out Brook in the later rounds. Of course, fighters are not going to admit that they are wash up until you see them in the ring. And with Crawford's experienced and tools, I doubt that Brook can pull an upset here.

I like the way how people thought of this fight, they seem to think that it's an automatic win for Terence Crawford since he is hot and still undefeated, but they seemed to forget that Kell Brook has won a lot of games in his career and upset is possible. Well anyway, we can't force to place our bet if we are not comfortable, watching without a bet is still okay but for me, not so entertaining.  ;D

This would've been such a great fight if it had happened a few years ago. It is still interesting today but not enough to benefit Crawford's legacy in any meaningful way, which is what he is trying to accomplish. I hope that Spence, if he wins his next fight, will finally step up and face him since it is one of the biggest fights that can be made in the sport right now.

Right, but the problem is that Top Rank, really "babied" and protected him after Pacquaio decided not to sign with Bob Arum. So it seems that he has a good resume, but all of them are cherry pick fight for him. His legacy will be really affected if we didn't see him fight Spence, this comes from his own mouth.

And there one interview wherein he touch base about his contract with Top Rank, and he says that he don't know if this will be his last fight under Arum's management. If he decided to end it, then chances are we are going to see him fight the best welterweights under PBC including Spence and Pacquiao.

Most definitely, only when he is out in Top Rank promotion will he will be able to fight the fighter that he really likes.
There's a reason why popular boxers now promote their own games so they can decide on their own and of course they can maximize their income.

Just like what Floyd did before, and now Canelo out of Golden Boy, and it proves that everything is really business, all out money making industry. Yes, when he is out of Top Rank promotion then he can chase the fight he likes, big paycheck and then he can also secure his legacy by fighting the best in his weight classes.

Important piece of information for this fight.

Looking for an upset, check the odds now and place your bet.

^^ Thanks for the info mate. I'm still torn with this fight though, I wanted to bet on the underdog Kell Brook to pull an upset, however, I do think that he is over the hill and Crawford wouldn't let himself lose this fight because he is looking for a Spence fight in the future.

He is not getting any younger and as he opted to get out of his promotion from Top Rank, he will be good for three fight max before the start of him slowing down.

Couple of days to think, if it's worth the risk to bet on Brook or just let this fight go and wait for Crawford vs Spence.  :)

Me, I don't have to worry much if I'll put my bet on Brooks as I know his chances is low so I would just put a little bet on that. A spence vs Crawford fight is what we like to see too, but I would go for Crawford if that will happen as I haven't seen him struggle in his previous fights, all was a clear win and an easy win IIRC.

I do agree with you mate, though upset happen but i'm rooting for Crawford to win this fight and below odds is not that bad, Crawford by UD @3.2 is tempting because i think Brook is tough so he will go the distance here with Crawford.

https://i.imgur.com/4l2nJhj.png

That's also a good bet, I'm glad you shared that here mate.

Well, we can make two bets, Crawford to win UD @3.2 and  Kell Brook  to win via KO @17, either way, you'll still end up with profit.

It appears Kell Brook won the 1st and 2nd round, however, he cannot take Crawford's power hehe.

I reckon the best should fight the best. Why do the promoters do not want to create Errol Spence and Terrence Crawford superfight?

Many people thought Brook would put up more of a fight. I always felt it was wishful thinking and I was proven right. Crawford is one of the best finishers there is and Brook is unfortunately past his best years.


We can point fingers in several directions but I feel if Spence wanted that fight it would have already been made. We've heard many excuses from him and his team already. We can blame it on promoters but we have already seen Top Rank and PBC work together to make the Fury vs. Wilder fight. I think it's mostly about Spence's ego and wanting to be the one to call the shots and determine the circumstances under which the fight will happen.

Also, there was the controversial decision of no contest on Franco versus Molony because according to the referee, Andrew Molony removed his head, attached it on has left glove and used that to hammer on Franco's left eye hehehehe.

And just like that, the fight is over, competition for 3 rounds, until that semi jab hit the right on the money for Brook. I think Kelly's eye is really damage for the GGG fight, after Crawford hit it, was over so for me his is still nursing that injury and he should retire for good. Nothing to prove at 147 lbs, there is a different bunch of fighters right now. At 154 lbs, Charlo twins will be there for him waiting and he will brutally KO by anyone of the twins.

Historically Crawford is a slow starter, and he admitted it post fight interview. He said that he is trying to gauge the distance. And Brook was winning the jab wars early and maybe it was a problem for Crawford, but he adjusted as the fight goes on and then caught Brook in the fourth. And you can see the Brook has a plan, jab on the face and then body.

Should be Crawford vs Spence next, or at least Crawford vs other bigger name in the 147 lbs at least.

I think you know that answer mate, it's boxing politics.

Crawford is with Top Rank Promotion, while the rest of the best welterweights, Spence, Thurman, Danny Garcia, Porter and of course Manny Pacquaio, is all Hal Haymon. So it will be 'difficult' to reach out a deal as we all know that those two doesn't see eye to eye as they are in the very competitive business of boxing.

But we will see, Spence vs Garcia is coming next so let's see how it will shape in the future if we can see Spence vs Crawford.

Maybe that's the next target ,Promoters are Looking for the Fight that would Lure bettors and Watchers ,they are gathering information on who's the In demand players and not just because they are good opponent in each division.

Promoters are for money and not for the Boxers nor fans.

In Boxing ring it is the Referee is the Law anything he says while in the ring will be decided so if the call is legit?then Molony Must be given sanction for this behavior.

This fight should happen all the other big names in the welterweight I'm sorry to include Pacquiao my idol is just supporting, Crawford and Spence are two big stars here, but I don't think their respective promoters will sit down and talk about the match.
The pandemic should be over before they sit down to fight, because there are big money to be made in a gate receipt and their promoters would like to take that opportunity.

That's very right, where the money is, promoters will make it happen. Spence and Crawford match, I think will give good payday to promoters as well as boxers. Many fans are clamouring for this match. Let's see if they will turn this to a reality in the very near future. Promoters should make it happen before they get too old for this sports.

I though Brook, being a former world champion would stand in front of Crawford until the last round but i'm wrong hehehe. Betting for Crawford via knockout @1.3 was not worth the risk while @3.2 via unanimous decision is tempting so no regret for my bet and always do the same with that kind of fight.

The long lay off is the culprit, he's waiting for Crawford to come in and make a mistake but Bud is such an intelligent fighter, he knows how to size up and beat his opponents in every possible angle, his dangerous skill is the ability to shift from orthodox to south paw, I like him to face Errol Spence, but not Manny Pacquiao, I love Manny but Bud's skill will be to much for him. 

Same here, lol.. it was an easy win by Crawford and with this win, he was able to gain more trust from his fans betting Brooks in round 4 only. you lose your bet mate? That's okay, there's still more to come, what would be next for Crawford here? is it time to face Manny Pacquiao?

Yeah, but once he has caught by Crawford, I don't know it looks like he quit. But after the fight he said that he didn't see the punch. But he made no excuses, and Crawford proved his doubters wrong again. Also Arum said that he is willing to set up a fight with Spence anytime. So I guess we have to wait. Don't worry mate, we are going to bounce back next time.  :)

This is the best development after the fight, hopefully it will happen because it is sure a big fight.
A rematch for Kell Brook vs Crawford is not an interesting to fight anymore,  fans wants to see Crawford fight with some real champion and this is it.

I'm wondering now which fighter you guys will root to win if this big fight will happen.

I was clearly making joke in my post and if you watched the fight or read the news, there was no headbutt in any of the replays. The referee is corrupt and Moloney has been stolen of a championship. This is a big shame for the sport of boxing.

The fight between Crawford and Spence should happen, the battle between who is the best welterweight is on between these two fighters
so they have to settle once and for all and who will remain undefeated and who will rule as the undisputed welterweight champion, both have the same characteristic, they analyze their opponents and are slow starter.

You're right, either of the two will hurt their legacy if they don't fight each other. I don't know if Arum is true to his words, but he said that the money is there in the table for Spence to fight Crawford. But they wanted fans or live gate sales, and it is not possible in this pandemic unless there is a vaccine already. So that there will be no safety protocols anymore and we are back to where we are before this virus.
