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.
Kell said there are no excuses..im betting now! fukk it! All or nothing, nygga!!!

Crawford isn't unbeatable. He is not that fastest nor does he have the most power. He has very pronounced flaws but he is still one of if not my favorite fighters because his attitude/grit. Terence Crawford has a habit of backing up in a straight line with his hands down (he needs to pivot or keep his hands up). He also has a habit of jumping in and exchanging and leaving himself open (he again needs to keep his hands up or establish a rhythm before jumping). He can be wild sometimes and loose his technique, throwing looping punches or wide punches instead of sharp, crisp punches that are technically sound.


He will fight anybody and he not a p*ssy though. And he will be offensive instead of being on the back foot like Floyd tended to do.

This is a fight where I can see Bud maybe fighting more orthodox than we've seen lately. I say this because of Brook's straight right which is his best & most accurate punch. The southpaw stance would make him a little more susceptible to getting caught by it

I like Crawford’s mean streak.


Brook is a naturaly bigger guy who I believe still has good pop but he hasn’t done anything in so long.


I got Crawford in a good fight.

I think Bud wins but kell Brook has balls. That resume looks crazy..Porter, GGG, Spence and now Crawford. Salute this man for taking these tough fights :salute:

its going to be that kell brook straight right like you said, or, if crawford stays southpaw, that step back check hook

or side step it with that little check hook pivoting to his right

Agreed. Brook also likes to throw the lead right followed by a hard jab down the middle.

KKKovalev & James Page were the two modern fighters I've seen do this frequently instead of using the left hook behind the lead right
