LOS ANGELES: Unbeaten Terence Crawford won his first fight of 2020 on Saturday (Sunday in Manila) by defending his World Boxing Organization welterweight title with a stunning fourth-round knockout of Kell Brook in Las Vegas. Crawford beat Brook to the punch with a right jab that sent the challenger stumbling back into the ropes. Brook’s game plan appeared to be working until Crawford seized his chance midway through the fourth with a devastating right jab to the face. Crawford improved to 37-0 with 28 knockouts despite a size disadvantage against the bigger Brooks, who has fought as high as middleweight. Brook had a different trainer for this fight because his regular didn’t want to come to the US due to the coronavirus.
