Will Crawford stink out the joint like Scull did or will he come to win and make history?

    That's because Spence was pretty much a zombie they had to give him smelling salts just to get him in the ring

      I expect movement from Crawford after seeing how shot Canelo's legs are but hopefully Crawford mixes it up and stands in the pocket a little bit. He can't stand in there too much though Canelo's still a very strong and sturdy 168er.
      Ever since the the 2010s, Mexican Boxing has been on a sharp decline. This machismo style of come forward boxing is really disgusting. Salvador Sanchez would be ashamed.

        I think Crawford is coming to win. I think he believes he can out box Canelo.

          Canelo is just too big for Crawford. Just like Bivol was too big for Canelo

            TBud is too competitive, versatile, and adaptable to go out like a chump

            He'll be fighting to win

              He is going to make history baby all the way! Crawford is the goods. Let Canelo come out strong and try to intimidate Bud. He will be eating a shit load of counters from him all night.

              However, I will concede that a slower pace will favor Terence because I think he is the more accurate of the two punchers. However, if Canelo starts fast; T-Bud is going to tee off on him and fuck him up like he did Spence.

              Size doesn't mean shit! I believe that many boxing experts and fans alike are underestimating Terence's overall: Power, durability and toughness here.

                Floyd has already tapped that Canelo's ass and he was a year younger than Crawford was at 36 when he did it. While Bud is only a year older at 37.

                Besides, Canelo and Crawford are practically the same age. So there is no youth advantage. Ultimately, the winner of this fight is going to come down to preparation, conditioning and will.

                It's going go to come down to the man who wants it the most; The hungrier man. if Bud finds a way to back Canelo up then the fight is a wrap.

                It's how Floyd defeated him. Money May rushed out into the center of that ring and met Alvarez head on while getting his punches off first. He even managed to push the naturally larger and stronger man off the back foot.​​

                  Bivol didn't beat Canelo with size. He just outclassed him. Nobody mentioned size after Canelo beat a washed up Kovalev.

                  At any rate this is nowhere near the same thing as Canelo moving up to 175.

                    Bivol beat Canelo with footwork and the jab.

                    That's what TC is gonna try to do.


                    Canelo is just way too slow now.
                    I don't think either guy takes any risks. guarantee, it's not gonna live up to expectations.....

                      Saul is a 168 pounder with the dimensions of a welterweight

                      70.5" reach and 5 ft 7.5 tall

                      maybe I'm wrong and TBud will be undersized unable to take the power like Andrade VS Benavidez
