Boxing phenom Terence “Bud” Crawford defeated Kell Brook at The Bubble at MGM Grand in Paradise, Nevada. The fight was stopped in the fourth round with a TKO win.
Crawford appeared to be behind in the first three rounds. Then, in the fourth round, the fight was over. The end came at 1:14 in the round.
Referee Tony Weeks felt like Brook was knocked down in the fourth round, even though he appeared to be standing. Moments later, Crawford then hit the Sheffield, United Kingdom native with a flurry of punches to end the fight.
