Current Events > Canelo v Crawford

(+) Yeah! (+)

I think Bud wins by points. I can't remember Canelo ever being hurt so no way he'll get ko'ed.

Canelo. Crawford is being too ambitious moving up two weight classes. He's good but he's not that good.

Crawford's frame is bigger than Canelo. ie taller, longer reach.

Going to be interesting to see if he loses some hand speed or gasses being unaccustomed to the extra weight.

Canelo.

Hopefully Crawford keeps the 0 off the L column.

Still haven't let go of Canelo basically cheating Golovkin out of a win.

I think Crawford will be the rare "smaller" fighter who wears the extra weight well against a larger opponent. It will help that he has the reach advantage and is as adept at out-fighting as he is at banging on the inside. The "Million Dollar Question" is whether his untested chin will hold up against a fighter who is not only larger, but is reputed for his extraordinary punching power in that class.

If Crawford's exceptional conditioning translates flawlessly to the much heavier (for combat sports) weight, then I think he wins by outworking Canelo. Otherwise, Alzarez grinds him down.

Although "reason" would dictate that the usually lighter Crawford is more likely to get knocked out by the once prodigious power of Canelo (I personally think he's aged faster as a boxer), I'm expecting it to go all 12 rds. I just hope that whatever outcome happens occurs without controversy.

on another note inuoe is probably gonna cruise through another ko victory.

Crawford on points.

But maybe another one of those iffy draws.

Hoping for Crawford

Here we gooo

I like Canelo, but I think Crawford got this.

Damn fight takes forever to start.

Yes. Yes they were.

Round 7 Crawford playing with his food.

Belt to ass

We have a cut!

Crawford winning this by a pretty good margin so far. Alvarez needs a knockout, imo

Personally I'm still kinda chuckling over Michael Buffer's "somebody's O has got to go". It ended in a draw, but still

Freaking hope not but Canelo has that "judge friendly style"

Crawford took this one pretty easily

Well, they went the distance. Let's see what the score cards say.

Crawford owned that shit

Twice even

I don't know shit about boxing.

Yay

I knew this was going to happen. Canelo has been shaky dating all the way back to GGG I. He has skill - there is no doubting that, but his skill is/was limited. He is still one of the greats of all time..as for Bud..he is riding high, but...I just wont call him a GOAT yet. Canelo was the face of boxing not because of his skill, but other reasons.

I want to see how Bud does against supermiddleweights with legit fighting I.Q...Bud v Sheeraz or Bud v Janibek, but sadly those guys aren't household names.

If Bud really wants to prove he is the GOAT, Bud v Benavidez. The guy Canelo ducked.

Masterclass by Crawford

Benavidez is too big. Half a foot taller, 10 years younger and another weight class heavier. I don't see that ever happening.

Is Crawford #1 P4P after this?

As far as I'm concerned, Terence Bud Crawford doesn't have a single fucking thing to prove to anyone. He's been silencing doubters for his entire career. It's like people won't be satisfied until he loses, just so they can say "see, I told you" and that's absolute fucking bullshit. Sorry that the media hasn't glazed him enough for some people's liking.
