I dont think he can be 100 % at 147lbs. At 150lbs he has a better chance, but i hope he can be near peak in this fight. I'm looking forward to it anyway.
Im going against the grain here, i think brook got enough left in the tank to give crawford hell. Chocolate brownies down ya gob crawford, fight southpaw please i dare ya.
Brook will have a weight drain in this fight so if it goes the distance then Brook will face serious troubles.
In the lead up to this fight everything looks bad for brook. He’s got no promoter and has bypassed Hearn/sky which looks like a retirement cash out. He’s now without his head trainer in the corner on fight night. inactivity and boiling down to a weight he’s not fought at in years. The no rehydration rule works in his favour and if he comes in sharp and his timing is right then I see him having some success early on against crawford and winning the early rounds. Unfortunately for brook bud is in his prime and is an awkward fighter who likes to think and adjust and does it well, I see him taking over mid rounds and a possible eye injury stoppage, brook is damaged goods and done imo. I hope he proves me wrong and gets the win though, would be a huge upset and would open doors to other big fights for him. Just a shame brook and Hearn didn’t try and unify after beating porter, those 3 defences were terrible
