Top Rank on ESPN: Terence Crawford vs Kell Brook preview

Pound for pound great Terence Crawford (36-0, 27 KOs) defends his WBO welterweight title against former champion Kell Brook (39-2, 27 KOs) on Saturday at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Crawford was first a champion at lightweight and then unified the super-lightweight division before moving up to welterweight in 2018. He took the WBO belt from Jeff Horn and defended it three times, all by stoppage. He is considered by some to be the best welterweight in the world but hasn’t managed to land the marquee fights that would allow him to prove it so far.

Brook had a four-fight reign as the IBF welterweight champion before he moved up and took a beating from Gennady Golovkin in which he suffered a broken orbital bone.
