Boxing Thread 13/11 (Crawford-Brook, Katie Taylor, Heffron-Bentley II)

    Few cards this weekend of varying quality.

    Matchroom card is being billed as this groundbreaking all womens card but realistically it's just Hearn's way of putting on a show on the cheap. Hard to get too enthusiastic about it.

    BT card tonight is poor but the main event is good. Heffron-Bentley rematch should be another close fight. Very well matched.

    Looking forward to Crawford-Brook Saturday night. On Premier Sports. Can't see him winning regardless but be interesting to see what version of Brook shows up. If he's motivated to win the early rounds might be interesting. Can't help but think Crawford takes over late though and forces a stoppage though.

    I think Brook will throw the kitchen sink at Crawford for 3 or 4 rounds.
    Don't think he'll be in it after that.

    If Crawford starts fast he likely wins pretty much every second of the fight till whenever it’s over. Bad match for a shot Brook.

    Prime Brook loses fairly comfortably.

    This Brook is getting utterly dominated!

    I think Bud Crawford is a special talent. Despite that he is far from a household name with the mainstream.
    A few things have played in to that, such as most early fights in his hometown of Omaha, not exactly a hotbed of American boxing. Also he never has had a rivalry to get people excited about.
    Anyway, good to see him back in action and I think he finishes Kell in the later rounds. Then on to Spence if the damn promoters can get their crap together.

    Taylor stoppage?
    Would points win be more likely?

    Yea it might but I’m going for her to send a message and be too good inside the distance. Technical fight like this will suit her. I think by round 8 she’ll have G worn out mentally

    Not sure about that I’m sure at least 4. It says on bet slip starts at 3 I’d say that’s the programme. Is it on any tv station?

    The main programme in the States starts at 3am our time and is just showing the co-main and main event. Co-main should nearly definitely go the distance so would expect Brook-Crawford 4.15am at the earliest. All depends how much filler they stack the programme with though could be later.

    Its like the local heroin dealer beating up a fella who owes him a score. He doesnt really care about the score hes loaded but wants to make a point for the other addicts.

    Ball effectively got a free WBC belt there. That's a joke that she can get a WBC title shot after a draw with courtenay and she only had to beat a girl who is normally 10lbs lighter..

    Ok, thought it was a draw, however Courtnay was 4-0 at the time with her opponents having a combined record of 14 wins- 27 defeats and 9 draws- hardly world title eliminator calibre!.

    Have to say this card has been absolutely putrid. Hearn's way of putting on a show on the cheap during a pandemic is to turn to the women. There's a good reason Katie, Harper and Ball have been the most active fighters through this pandemic and it's not because Sky are trying to be groundbreaking. They're just being cheap. Really poor.

    Someone with an ounce sense needs to tell Katie to be a bit more selective in her punching. Wastes so much just throwing for the sake of volume and speed!
