Terence Crawford improved to 37-0 (28 KOs) with a sudden finish to a tactical match against Kell Brook on Saturday night in Las Vegas. Brook was badly hurt by a counter right hand and staggered to the ropes where referee Tony Weeks called for a standing eight count. Crawford pounced on his dazed opponent and Weeks waved it off at the 1:14 mar,
Brook (39-3, 27 KOs) had the upper hand in the first round as Crawford started slowly as is his norm. Brook wasn’t much more active, but he won the round and the second round was more of the same with the action increasing slightly.
Round three saw Crawford firing more shots from his southpaw stance with Brook answering with his own right hand. The fourth round followed this same form until Crawford landed the fight-changing counter right hand.
With the win Crawford retained the WBO welterweight title.
