Crawford vs Brook Betting Preview on Crawford to Win by KO

The WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford is about to defend his title against the former IBF champion Kell Brook. Here is our Crawford vs Brook betting preview, as the bookmakers massively favor Crawford to win. Hence, there is a huge value for Crawford to likely produce a KO in the eighth or ninth round. 

The WBO welterweight fight between Terence Crawford and Kell Brook is taking place on November 14, at the MGM Grand’s Conference Center in Las Vegas. Online gambling sites in the United States massively favor Crawford to win. His odds stand at -1400, while his opponent Brook is at +800, as per Bet365 Sportsbook.

As our Crawford vs Brook betting preview shows the odds value is fair enough. Crawford will most certainly win this fight. Brook is getting into the ring because he is the best of what is left for Crawford. The first option was Errol Spence Jr. but after the car crash, this match-up has been sidelined for a while.

Crawford to produce a KO in later rounds

The undefeated champion Terence Crawford from Nebraska holds a record of 36-0-0, with 27 KOs. He won world belts in three world classes and he is a two-division lineal champion. Most online gambling news in the United States consider him as boxing’s pound-for-pound top fighter on the planet. Probably they are correct!

The 33-year-old vicious boxing champion has been avoided by many fighters especially those looking to build a reputation at the world level. Thus, he was able to defend his WBO title only three times in the last couple of years. Brook stepped up to the challenge which he will most certainly lose. But how and when exactly?

As per our Crawford vs Brook betting preview, it will likely be a KO in later rounds. Bet365 Sportsbook offers +900 odds for it to happen in either the eighth or ninth round. The exceptional hand speed, movement, and counter-punching abilities of Crawford will wear down Brook. Crawford might start slow as he has been out of the ring for almost a year. But, by the eighth or ninth-round it will be likely over for Brook.

Brook has no chance to make an upset

The former IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook has a record of 39-2-0. A long time ago he beat Shawn Porter to win the welterweight title. However, in 2016 Brook got into the ring against GGG, which was his worst decision ever. Brook received a load of punches by Golovkin especially in the 5th round before losing by a TKO. The next year, Brook was knocked out by Errol Spence Jr. in a sensational fight.

The 34-year-old has some energy left in him, but he is no longer in his prime. His last three fights were successful, but they were not breathtaking fights. Brook is a conventional fighter, which is the most convenient for Crawford. He might be tough to beat, but there is almost no chance for an upset.
