A Lover Of Pit Bulls, Bullets Flying Around. The Cold Hunter Wants More Prey — Brook! — Sports Today

The night clash in The Bubble at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas will be mainly this time, and especially about one duel, although the boxing evening Top Rank Boxing and ESPN will have seven. The fight between the WBO champion Terence Crawford (36–0, 27 KO) and Kell Brook (39–2, 27 KO) is simply special …

Special One. This is the nickname of 34-year-old Kel Brook, which only underlines the special significance of this duel. By the way, both men demonstrated it even during the more than two-minute staredown after weighing, when they used very sharp words. What about the fact that Crawford’s spatially distinctive friend with his belt in his arms also yelled at everything. What about the fact that they had veils.

Tonight, when he enters the ring, it will be worth it. Maybe because of another distant duel between Brook and his British rival Amir Khan. He has been chasing him for several years, including this year. Needless to say, when the $ 1.5 million bid arrived for a fight with Crawford, the beat from Sheffield didn’t hesitate.

Last April, Khan boxed with him for three times as much. He lost in six rounds. The trip to the middle weight behind Canel Alvarez turned out to be the same for “King Khan”. Brook also tried, he lost to Golovkin similarly quickly, but it was definitely not such a demolition. Although…

The Kazakh thresher broke Brook’s orbital bone in his face, and yet the wound grew, re-entering for nine months in a duel with American Errol Spence Jr. Brook also lost. In eleven rounds. Then he tried three times for luck in the light medium weight, talking about never wanting to crash into the sweater again, that it was exhausting him, he longed for the title of world champion in the second weight.

He didn’t wait. And so he’s back in the sweater. “She wakes up from a dream on Saturday. I have the precision, size, desire and strength to kick his ass and get into my usual rhythm. I can box like a classic guard, like a turned guard, I am a hard, strong, big velter. I’m actually a pretty scary fighter, dangerous to anyone of any weight, “said the former IBF velter champion, who went overseas for the title six years ago when he knocked down the then undefeated Shawn Porter before the duel.

“I’m a different warrior than Porter,” is not afraid to repeat the history of Crawford, nicknamed the “Hunter.” And then he can prove why he has this nickname. Dark, cold, big eyes pierce everyone. It will get you to the bone with them. The view from which it freezes. Which actually signifies his whole nature.

Quiet but sharp. Created by a life story from the rough streets of Omaha in Nebraska, which he wandered with a bunch of friends. On which he ran among the bullets. According to his own words, today the father of five children carries in his head seven incidents that ended in shooting. She once literally whistled around his head by car. She didn’t stop him.

In the run or subsequent other troubles. A veteran lover foamed a few years ago while repairing one of them at a local service station, and it was a real demolition and a crack (Brook’s dark experience, but not his own fault, was also stabbed by a striker on vacation in Tenerife six years ago).

It can almost be said that he definitely cut down Latin in life two years ago when he met Brazilian WBC collaborator Chic Lopez in New York. He has two passions: boxing and American pit bulls. A few weeks after the meeting, he personally brought one of them to Crawford’s house, which he lives with his children, his wife Alindra and his unmissable mother Debra at matches.

Bitch Goldie was followed by Bones. And also others. But as Alindra claims with exaggeration (but also seriously), the “Hunter from Omaha” places this pair of hafans above all others. Although he himself acknowledges that this is not entirely appropriate and correct.

“Those dogs are sitting next to him. You know why? Pit bulls love their families, but at the same time they are warriors who never give up. Like Crawford. Like other warriors. They simply have a will in them that a normal mortal does not have that he will never understand. The will to never give up is a gift for humanity, “outlines Lopez, who added a dog to Canel Alvarez, Mark Antonio Barrer, Roy Jones, Royce Gracie and Cris Cyborg (who named the bitch).

“The instinct Chico is talking about cannot be learned. You have to have it in you. Will to fight. Like walking after your prey when you see she’s hurt. It’s hard to explain. You just feel it. Inside yourself, all the way here, in the stomach. And the fans love us for it, because it gives them great knockouts, “smiles Crawford. Quiet, timid, as so many times.

He would rather confirm his words in the ring than talk about them. Exaggerated praise of the WBO champion in the sweater, but who still lacks a really stellar name in the record? So at least according to experts and some fans?

Then know that Crawford won his first world title — in lightweight — in 2014, when he reboxed Ricky Burns at his home in Glasgow. He has boxed thirteen times since then. Each time for some (some) title of world champion. Only the Ukrainian Viktor Postol spent a full 36 minutes with him in the ring, although he was counted twice during them. All other opponents in the title matches fell before the limit.

How will Kell Brook turn out tonight, who will not be led into the match by long-time coach Dominic Ingle but a young American Carlos Formento? You can watch this on Sport 1 from 4:00 am, comments Marek Šimák and Daniel Táborský.
