Canelo will eat everything Crawford throws and smile

I am not the biggest Canelo fan, but from what I see, he will have a fairly straight forward time with Bud. Keep in mind it is Canelo. He is fighting someone naturally way smaller. If he can't catch bud cleanly, he just has to throw his power into the body or even his shoulder. lol. Canelo by brute force. Bud can play cat and mouse for a while, but the longer the fight goes on, the more likely Canelo will land on Bud cleanly and Canelo certainly knows how to close a fight.

He is not stu.pid. He has defense, and he lands one or two and then he move back, or move his back or head. He is not that bum Spence robotic and predictable And canelo perfectly could counter Crawford. Technically speaking, that is true. Yes Canelo can counter Crawford as well. However, Crawford counters are a lot sharper, quicker, subtle and has more pinpoint accuracy to them than Canelo's. Likewise, by being the naturally smaller man; He has the lighter hands too. Which means his punches are going to be a lot faster of the two fighters. Bud often set his opponents up with superb precision and timing. He is always in search of landing the perfect punch. If Terence decides to fight righty in his natural orthodox stand. Then he will have a much better chance of winning this fight. Lastly, if Canelo doesn't come out an attempt to bum rush Crawford like he did Jermell Charlo. Then that will only go to show just how much he really respects Terence "Bud" Crawford's boxing ability and Ring IQ.

I agree. Madrimov fought a very smart and intelligent fight. He played the role of counter by forcing Bud to lead. However, I get the feeling that Canelo will attempt to overpower and overwhelm Crawford due to his superior power and size. Which will leave him both open and vulnerable to Terence’s quicker counters. He is not stu.pid. He has defense, and he lands one or two and then he move back, or move his back or head. He is not that bum Spence robotic and predictable And canelo perfectly could counter Crawford.

its not crawfords power, its his shot selection, he hits you with very unorthodox shots, its the shot you dont see which hurts you. i think spence had a good chin but he was getting hit with shots that he didnt see coming which is why he got knocked down a few times Spencer was near of be K.O BY UGAS, UGAS... He was iced and confused And Spencer never fought against a real power puncher or a killer with real K.O power Brook, Danny (that sucks in 147 and don't have great power), Porter, are not great K.O artists in 147.

Says the one who doesn't even watch boxing outside of the roid rage carnela :rofl: Can’t talk boxing with any depth. Low IQ vocabulary. You tried though.

Crawforx is easy to hit. Kavaliauskas hit him big time. He will be eating big shots. Shots he never felt so far. Make sure to keep the same energy post fight and not make excuses for canelo when he gets his ass whooped

You’re comment demonstrates your lack of knowledge when it comes to boxing. Says the one who doesn't even watch boxing outside of the roid rage carnela :rofl:

Do you even watch your daddy fight? Lmfao carnela fades in the second half of all his fights :rofl: Just stfu and cheer when your papi wins You’re comment demonstrates your lack of knowledge when it comes to boxing.

The key to the fight will be how aggressive Crawford will be early. He cannot afford to get behind on the cards otherwise he will have to come forward later and that plays right into what Canelo will want him to do. Canelo will likely test him early to see if he can hold up to body shots from a legit 168 pounder vs the mostly welterweights Buds been in with. I doubt Bud can really hurt Canelo. He’s taken shots from much bigger punchers and not been hurt. Do you even watch your daddy fight?

Crawford's guard won't help him fight night. Canelo will be punching through his soul. Canelo is the armored tank that breaks through front lines. Crawford is the elite sniper who dismantles from a distance before you know where the shot came from. Unfortunately, Crawford's ammo is no match for a tank. His corner will throw the towel in the 9th for a ceasefire.​

Do you honestly think that there is anything that Alvarez hasn't seen in terms of styles in all of these years? This is true, though how many southpaws has Canelo fought and were they good? Asking a serious question here. That or guys that do change stance often to mix things up. I'm not saying Crawford has some crazy unique or unheard of style because others have tried it, but not many as effective. I even thought Crawford's lefty was weak when he would do it and appeared to get hit more often, but then he went and did the entire Spence fight lefty and beat a lefty at his own game. Really, I don't know the outcome to this fight. It might be 50/50 or I would edge Canelo just because of the size difference. He's been the heavier guy for years now, faced heavier opponents and Crawford is going up 2 divisions. The time and time again quote of a good big man beats a good little man will probably apply to this one. Skill wise, I don't think you can take much away from either guy. They're both proven and just because one will lose will not necessarily make that guy lesser skilled. He'll have just got beaten by the better man and the loser of that night probably will have not lost to any other opponent on that day.

Canelo won't be hitting crawford. He'll be getting countered in between shots Crawforx is easy to hit. Kavaliauskas hit him big time. He will be eating big shots. Shots he never felt so far.

But the question is how will Crawford react when he feels the real punch. Not a welterweight punch. Canelo won't be hitting crawford. He'll be getting countered in between shots

look at this numbnuts , yeah man canelo defense is very ordinary. standing right in front of everyone making them miss. ******est **** every written on this site madrimov bounce around doing nothing Now clean off your chin and fugh off Have you always been a biatch Matches your name on the board , yes you are a loser

its not crawfords power, its his shot selection, he hits you with very unorthodox shots, its the shot you dont see which hurts you. i think spence had a good chin but he was getting hit with shots that he didnt see coming which is why he got knocked down a few times Ugas had Spence badly buzzed, then the ref broke the action and stalled for a short bit and Ugas let Spence off the hook. Spence's chin had been cracked before that from a few bad car accidents and his boozing.

Theres lots of quality analysis here, but I think its based on outdated info to an extent, for example: There have been multiple iterations of Canelo, prior to GGG 1 he was mostly a pressure counter puncher who relied on excellent head movement and defense to land some rugged counter punches- most notably some powerful body shots. But then he fought GGG, and its as if he realized that he had a great chin, maybe he didn't need to counter and slip like he once had. He went up in weight and became more aggressive. He stayed this aggressive fighter until he ran into Bivol, who outboxed him and was rewarded such on the cards. Since that loss, Canelo has backed off chasing KOs a bit, so I am unsure what Canelo to expect when he gets in the ring with Bud; not to mention he is now an older fighter. Then there is Bud, he is even older than Canelo, he's fought only once a year for the last half decade, he is fighting three weight classes up from his most recent established weight of welterweight. For as great as he is, he is even more of an enigma than Canelo in this fight. What makes this fight interesting isnt that its two great fighters in their primes going at each other at their best weights. Its that we really don't know what we are getting. Its question mark vs question mark.

The key to the fight will be how aggressive Crawford will be early. He cannot afford to get behind on the cards otherwise he will have to come forward later and that plays right into what Canelo will want him to do. Canelo will likely test him early to see if he can hold up to body shots from a legit 168 pounder vs the mostly welterweights Buds been in with. I doubt Bud can really hurt Canelo. He’s taken shots from much bigger punchers and not been hurt.

The question might be, how well does Canelo deal with the switch hitting? Will it be enough to befuddle him? Will he make a mistake that Bud can capitalize on? The best part about this match, you know both are coming as their absolute best. Canelo doesn't want to risk losing to what is supposed to be the smaller guy and Bud will be up for this fight against the biggest legend he'll have on his resume. Bud is going to come to perform as he's out to prove a point. I just hope the Madrimov fight wasn't a clue as to where Bud's age is right now and more the lack of his motivation for Madrimov to take him serious enough. Do you honestly think that there is anything that Alvarez hasn't seen in terms of styles in all of these years?

But the question is how will Crawford react when he feels the real punch. Not a welterweight punch. I read yesterday that Crawford said he currently weighs 155. He's a naturally smaller man than Canelo, who was reported to walk around at 175 when he was in his 20s. Terence is in trouble.

Alvarez is still human, Crawford's punches will hurt if he lands, but I don't think he be able to rock Canelo considering he has withstood bigger punchers than Crawford nor do I think Terrence be able capitalize on it if he managed to do so considering how risky a heavy handed counter can be. People are comparing Canelo with Madrimov who has active footwork and darts out of danger (Madrimov is also quite a erratic fighter), but Alvarez is more like a bigger and more skilled Mean Machine Kavaliuskas that can cut the ring to make the ring smaller and limit his opponent's angle uses like Plant, Saunders and Charlo. Once Canelo catches him with a big shot, he be wilting Crawford down with low output power punches and catching him with right hands when Crawford tries lounging in. At least that's what I expect, Canelo won't commit to ending the fight, as he has stamina issues if he throw more than 10 punches per round. I get Plant and Saunders aren't big punchers plus Charlo jumped 2 divisions, but their punching power overall isn't that inferior compared to a fighter who fought at 135-147 and their dimensions are quite bit longer in terms of height. As for Scull, I think Canelo was just scared on taking risks of closing in against a much rangier fighter while Canelo has stamina issues. He wanted to catch Scull in the offense to minimize risk and effort, but that never happened, so it ended up being a boring fight where Canelo just chased his opponent with both trying to pick accurate low output shots and avoid getting caught with something instead.
