Terence Crawford remained perfect and retained his WBO welterweight belt with a fourth-round knockout victory over Kell Brook in Las Vegas on Saturday.

The 33-year-old was fighting for the first time in 11 months. Though he took some jabs from Brook in the first two rounds and looked a little slow early, "Bud" started returning the fire in Round 3. In the fourth, he unleashed a furious right hand on Brook against the ropes before ending it with another flurry of punches moments later.

Crawford ran his record to 37-0, with 28 wins via knockout. His last six fights have all been TKO victories.

Brook, meanwhile, drops to 39-3 for his career. All three of his losses have come via knockout.
