    Maybe the half that was work was feeling emotional then haha.

    Conversation is the whole point if boxing boards like this. Especially in times like these, not like I can discuss with my wife how much credit Crawford should get lol.

    For me, the credit comes in taking a fight against a dangerous opponent he won't receive much credit for, if that makes sense.

    In paper Brook has been stopped twice, had both orbital bones fractured, hadn't made WW in 3 years and hasn't beaten a ranked opponent in 6 years.

    But everyone "knows" Brook is a world class talent.

    Brook was looking good against Golovkin hut couldn't handle his power.

    He looked awesome against Spence but tired.

    My concern is if he hasn't trained properly he won't be able to fight a hard 12 rounds, which means no matter how well he does, Crawford will always have the opportunity to end it suddenly.

    Nah. Not imo.

    Brook looks so drained its crazy.

    Given the circumstances of this fight, hard for me to give Craw much credit.

    Brook isn’t a generational talent mate

    I'd call it a good win not a great win

    Pbc has the best welters and they haven't been able to make the fights

    I guess this is the best guy not affiliated with pbc

    I'll give him credit especially if brook looks good . I think the only way I wouldn't give credit is if Brooks face just falls apart early in the fight

    Nope

    lol

    Crawford will have to fight till he is 40 like Floyd and just remain unbeaten beating the second best's of the division to get respect AT THIS RATE

    Get it done son just take your Spence beating like a man.

    There is no shame in losing to a better man

    Too many people in boxing don't understand this, it's going to become an epidemic. We can blame Pretty boy, always the A-side, not a level playing field Floyd for this.

    It will be a good win , if he wins. . Brook is big , strong and pops a mean jab.

    But money is on Crawford who i see sucking the lifeforce out of Brook with body shots.

    If Brook has any type of success, Crawford will be "exposed" . If he dominates and stops Kell, Kell is a shell of himself. Maybe if it is a dog fight and Crawford gets up off the canvas and wins a war, he may get credit for having a champions heart, maybe! That's the only way he gets any type of credit.

    People don't give Pac credit for De La Hoya, Cotto, Margarito, Mosley, or Hatton, so if they're being fair, they're not gonna give credit to Crawford for beating Kell.
