Kell Brook takes on Bud Crawford this Saturday in Vegas. I consider Crawford to be the number 1p1.

I like Kell a lot as he never ducks a challenge.
But Kell hasnt been in with a guy with Crawfords attributes before.

So I'm expecting a bit of a boxing lesson for Kell
I'm thinking an 8 or 9 round stoppage.

Kell has the skills but I haven’t yet seen him show the guts when it gets difficult- tonight would be a hell of a place to start showing it.

I don't know how you can doubt his guts. He may have fallen short at the elite level but he has never backed down from a fight and he held his own with both Golovkin and Spencer Jr before his face broke

I know Kell got paid great money to fight GGG, but I wonder if he could turn back the clock would he have taken that fight now. That was a real sickener for him and seemed to have taken a big part of him away.

I'll tell you what did surprise me. The way Kell snapped back Crawford's head a few times was a bit of an eye opener for me. Crawford is a built up 135 pounder who I think might suffer if pounded in the face by the likes of Errol Spence. Not there's much of a chance of him getting a decent fight though, as most of the other decent Welters are with PBC.
