What a finish

It was a short right hand that buzzed Brook, who fell into the ropes to save him falling down. Bud, one of the best finishers in the game, then closed the show in style.

Crawford post-fight

“I only caught him a couple times. Kell is a tremendous talent, he came, he tried. No excuses, he came off three wins and had his confidence up. He lost to the better man tonight."

“Errol Spence will try to avoid Terence Crawford as long as he can because he knows he can’t beat Terence Crawford.”

Kell Brook

“That’s boxing. The referee saw enough, I lost to the better man tonight. Even though he beat me, I can’t say anything. He has a good eye to land a shot. Nobody has ever done that to me in my career, not in sparring or anything. I’m gutted.”
