Timing beats speed and Brook is not exactly slow. He was even taking some of the early rounds against Bud Crawford until Crawford got to him.
**** i nearly accidentally bought tickets ****ing around on that website there, that's your fault @Wizbit1013
Everybody wins early rounds against Crawford though. I love it. Crawford is a genius, looking at guys, then he knocks them out, it's great.
Khan got knocked down in round1 against Crawford lost every round so scared and petrified he was that he ran then quit when a punch hit his leg.
It's not a relevant fight on the world stage it did however sell out pretty quickly and the fact several threads have been made already.... Then there is some interest. It's a lot more interesting than youtube stars fighting retired MMA fighters. Neither are going to do much after but it settles an old score even if at this point it favours Khan.
The catchweight is 149lbs with a £100,000 for every fine for every pound over. I expect Brook to come in about 151lbs or 152lbs and he'll look a lot stronger than he did against Crawford. Brook is probably getting £2-3 million he'll not mind paying a few hundred grand to get a big edge in this one.
