"Real" thoughts on Canelo-Crawford?

[Smash]

i think canelo will take it in a close fight

i want bud to get the W tho, canelo has been disgraceful for many years now with his ducking and diving and opponent choice, this may i mean may come back to bite him if bud can really put in a great performance and rattle him with movement and hard shots and frustrate him, pick his shots clean, i do think canelo is there for the taking now by a good opponent, we will see if bud is up to that level at this weight

[QballLobo]

Crawford will have to come forward and trade early to have a chance. If he has a slow start and is behind on the cards it will be an easy night for Canelo. I don’t see Crawford being able to hurt Canelo or keep him honest.

Hope it is a good fight. I will be there live.

I think both are coming to win so I expect an entertaining fight.

Crawford is looking to make HISTORY by becoming the first undisputed champion in 3 weight classes by beating Canelo. However, in my opinion, there are a few overriding factors that will prevent this from happening:-

1) Canelo is the current Vegas cash cow and #1 PPV draw in boxing (and has been since Mayweather retired) and is therefore PROTECTED e.g. getting a draw scorecard against Mayweather, getting a draw and victory over Golovkin when most people thought he lost the fight etc. In fact, even though Bivol landed nearly DOUBLE the number of punches, he was only awarded victory by the slimmest of margins (115-113 on all 3 scorecards).

2) Crawford is not only fighting for one world title but for 'all the marbles' and will therefore have to beat Canelo convincingly. If he has another close call as per the Madrimov fight, I don't believe he'll be awarded the victory given that Super Middleweight is Canelo's most dominant weight class.

3) I don't believe the 'powers that be' that run boxing WANT Crawford to make history and become the first undisputed champion in 3 weight classes even if he does win clearly!

Therefore, all things considered, I'm predicting a close points victory for Canelo.

Your 3 points are all just hate and a load of s*** trying to imply he will lose due to robbery. When in reality the most likely reason Bud will lose is cause he fights once a year is half as active as Canelo and has 1 fight above 147. Fighting the guy who has had 11 fights at 168 in 11 years.

problem is canelo is not the legit champ at 168. when you duck the crap out of the #1 guy for 4 years your legitimacy disappears. he could conceivably fight hand picked fights for another 10 years while avoiding every legit contender and still be "the champ" at some point and we reached that point long ago he has to be stripped of all credibility, respect, and dignity. dont call him a champ. hes a fraud and a coward. imagine in any other sport a team refuses to play in the playoffs for 4 straight years. still the champ! no.

Bivol was a random Asian from Russia

if he was able to get the decision by 9-3'ing Saul, then TBud can

question is 8-4 wide enough a margin for TBud to get the decision

7-5 and he gets jobbed imo

TBud and Usyk one a year bullsht sets a bad example for future stars

if u think about it logically and apply vulcan logic to the fight it works out like this, bud is and has always been higher on the p4p list than bivol & bivol easily UD's little ginger nuts so it doesnt take a genius to extrapolate this result

obviously. i think canelo gets 2 free rounds seems like. its the canelo tax. judges have to pay it in order to get in the door. although i think adelaide byrd brought her whole family when she turned in that 118-110 card
