Kell Brook vs Terence Crawford weigh-in

Kell Brook had his shot at one of the current pound-for-pound best in WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford at the MGM Grand, but was stopped in round four.

The undefeated Nebraskan is widely considered one of the best in the sport right now, and fought for the first time in 11 months in what was an impressive performance. Brook managed to win the first two rounds but lost the third and then was quickly stopped in the fourth, with Crawford unleashing and landing nine of 11 power shots to close the show.

Brook has suffered in recent years with injury after moving up to middleweight but returned to the welterweight division with what many believed was his career on the line. The fight headlined a busy card stacked full of American talent. Catch up on the live updates, scoring and analysis from the main event as well as full results from the night below.

Further delay...

Joshua Franco's trainer Robert Garcia on the delayed decision: "They're pretty much trying to screw us."

No decision

The commission stick with their decision and rule it a no contest due to an accidental headbutt. Awful decision.

Kell Brook makes ring walk

Brook is on his way to the ring! Finally. If he pulls this off, it would go down as one of the greatest wins on away soil for a British fighter.

A quiet round with both men sizing each other up but Brook’s lead jab to the body and head gives him the round.

Round 2: Crawford 18-20 Brook

Crawford switches from orthodox to southpaw to close the gap but Brook still does well, taking his time and picking off his opponent. Not much in it right now but I have it 2-0 Brook.

Round 3: Crawford 28-29 Brook

A close round but Crawford does well to close the space a bit more, and starts landing his combination punches. Brook doesn’t quite get his jab off the way he was in the first two.

Crawford eye swelling

Crawford’s right eye is swelling up fast, will Brook target it now?
