Crawford will be slow and sluggish. He hasn’t fought in over a year and has never fought at 168 before. His body isn’t adjusted to cutting down to 168 and rehydrating back up. Crawford is a slow starter anyway but being out of the ring so long and being heavier than he’s used to means he’ll struggle to find his own rhythm, let alone start timing Canelo’s.
Too many Crawford fans have gotten their panties in a twist after Scull ran a half-marathon, but the difference is that Scull is 33 and a career-long super middleweight, Crawford is 37 and began his career at 135. If he tries dancing like Scull, he would gas out and lose a decision for being too negative.
Everybody’s been talking about how Crawford is a bad style for Canelo because he’s slick (which doesn’t make sense anyway because Canelo has beaten plenty of slick fighters) but neglect to mention that his two toughest fights were against pressure fighters who feinted him out of position and countered him in Porter and Madrimov. Crawford-Canelo is still a size-mismatch, don’t let a Cuban salsa class fool you into thinking it isn’t.
