Is Kell Brook Being Overlooked?

This is the definition of a track fight, they want Crawford to show his prowess compared to Errol Spence when he fought Brook. Everyone will be expecting Terence Crawford to turn up and make quick work of Brook, which might not be the case.

Kell Brook has a huge opportunity here and he shouldn’t be overlooked. The one major disadvantage is that Kell Brook has had limited success in this upper weight-classes (his only two losses to GGG & Errol Spence Jr).

This should make for an exciting fight. Crawford is essentially a counter puncher, it comes natural to him. While Brook comes forward and attacks, which should blend for quick and tactical bout.

Meanwhile, in the same month, Errol Spence will fight Danny Garcia, with odds on that fight here. Spence vs Garcia is a much bigger fight, but Crawford needs to stay active and Brook has a name that’s good enough for him to face.
