Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez-Terence Crawford officials: Thomas Taylor appointed as referee

He's a pretty good ref. I also like that Canadian ref that looks like he'd run a mafia. Can't recall his name at the moment. Think it's Michael something.

Griffin. I was just about to mention him as a good potential choice. He's done some big fights and you don't notice him much which means he stays out of the way and lets the fighters fight as much as possible

I like the choice in referee. I'm glad allegedly corrupt referee Harvey Dock won't be working this fight.

As long as it is not Jack Reiss................that guy has to be part of the Main Event no matter how much he says he dont wanna.............nothing invisable about him reffin a fight.

He only ref in California.

Chatham and Weisfield - one of them normally turns in an egregiously scored card - and I believe this is going to the cards as Bud will know that Canelo can't out box him so Canelos only chance is he, Bud, gets careless.

I'll be getting up early in UK to watch this, great matchup, I do believe Bud is daring to be great, hope he doesn't do a Charlo.

He will do something similar to the UK guys.

Get Body shot like Liam Smith
Get KTFO like Amir Khan
Get his orbital bone crushed like Billy Joe
Get totally dominated like Callum Smith

The more I see Crawford in camp as of how he looks now, the more I see he will probably be able to take the punishment. I just think the increased muscle mass and weight is going to slow him down where he's less effective. He'll just have more of an ability to take the blows from Canelo. I actually see this fight going to a decision, for either guy, depending on who turns up better.

I'm not sure the UK has ever had a fighter as good as Bud - maybe Calzaghe but that'd be it. My favourite was Herol Graham but for all his skills he was a bit chinny.

Yes, I was glad they brought him to the UK for Usyk - Dubois 2. It was a clean fight but I like Griffin's poise.
