Top-10 Viewing Options: How bad has the promotion for Brook-Crawford been?? Good lord. It’s Terence Crawford and Kell Brook and this might as well be a Telemundo card.
1. Kell Brook vs. Terence Crawford/Andrew Moloney vs. Joshua Franco: Top Rank and ESPN giving us another potential PPV-caliber event for free on basic cable.
2. UFC Fight Night: dos Anjos vs. Felder: Not unlike Jerry Lawler removing his crown and emerging from the announce table, so is Paul Felder from the color desk on five days notice.
3. Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship 14: Luis Palomino defends his title in something I’d like to see BKFC do more of. If you’re not going to just put on freak show fights, then let’s get some title feuds.
4. Katie Taylor vs. Miriam Gutierrez/Katharina Thanderz vs. Terri Harper: DAZN brings out an all-women card headlined by the Olympic gold medalist Taylor attempting to clean out lightweight.
5. ONE: Inside The Matrix III: The weakest offering of ONE’s Inside The Matrix series.
6. Fight To Win 157: Tom DeBlass comes out of retirement to challenge for F2W gold.
7. FloWrestling: Burroughs vs. Zahid: To punctuate that wrestling is back, two of the best collegiate wrestlers to ever do it square off.
8. St. Thomas vs. The Citadel: BAH GAWD! THAT’S COLLEGE WRESTLING’S MUSIC!!
9. UFC 255 Countdown: The road to Deiveson Figueiredo’s maiden title defense begins.
10. PBC Fight Camp: Spence Jr. vs. Garcia: Part I: And already, Spence-Garcia has eons more promotion than Crawford-Brook.
