Crawford looks drained and sick.

I'm taking Brooks after watching this interview.

Crawford seems unsure of himself.



Naw bro, I ain’t even gon lie. I picked against Bud because of the betting odds but he look ready. fukk the cough, he talking cash shyt and looked ready to fight at the face off.

One thing about Bud, I knew a lot of dudes like him coming up...he a fighting mfer. He gon make you quit if you have any ounce of hoe in you. Hard to pick against him but imma hold steady to my prediction. I hope I’m wrong though so we can get the Spence/Crawford fight next year.

You think these fighters haven't been ducking each other for years?

How do you think they sell championship fights every week, breh how long you been watching boxing? :russ:

I think you need to simmer up, breh. I've been on boxing heavy since 2003. In fact i've been an active fighter myself those years till 2008. My question has no bearing on my knowledge of the sport.


Still shouldnt be dubbed number 1 with a resume like that, regardless of who's ducking who.

I didn’t allude to anything in regards to your knowledge of the sport.

I asked if you watch boxing, not if you were a boxer. I was alluding to the fact that this is a corrupt industry that runs on profits.

It’s his promoters fault - Bob Arum. He’s spread too thin and hasn’t secured top fights for a fighter of his caliber.

He should have gotten big fights - but no one wants to fight him because he’s a legitimate threat. Why would anyone of championship caliber be willing to risk it over fighting a legit contender. Strike one.

His promoter isn’t doing all he can to negotiate on behalf of his fighter and has under-promoting him for years. Strike two.

According to the actions at Top Rank - black fighters aren’t “marketable” so they’d rather focus on more high value fighters that can bring in a “larger audience.” Strike three.

Kell Brook looks pissed off to me. After Crawford clowned his eye injuries and Max kept bringing it up Brook had that :demonic: look in his eyes.

I get the Bob Arum thing, but its not entirely on him. Right now, I dont believe any of the top contenders are scared of Crawford.
Im thinking HE's the one scared of losing. This dude has been a pro for over 10 years, and has yet to be in a mega-fight :gucci:
I think he's comfy being called a top 3 pound-for-pound by likes of Mayweather, but this dude's resume is hella shaky for a dude with this many years in.

Cant be out here fighting over-the-hill damaged fighters like Kell brook 12 years into the pro game when there is already legit guys he could beat that will leave a better impression.

Kell brook will be crawfords biggest test. Real talk. Don't be surprised if Crawford touches the canvas.
