wow thats a brave prediction

im thinking bud too cute and savy to be caught like that even if canelo had the upper hand

Not so brave, just logical imo. All throughout the buildup to this fight it's seemed to me to have a large wishful thinking element. I respect Crawford but some of the things just are a bit ridiculous. For example one of the letter writers described Bud as "****** tough " .Or yes a few even go so far as to say he'll win because he's Black.I for one don't believe in a "SuperBud ".If I'm proven wrong I'll be the first to admit it.

I HUMBLY predict Canelo KO or on the cards. he is bigger and stronger and his punches look so pretty, like a Roger Clemons fastball. We have ample evidence showing that it makes a difference on the cards. I think this will fight will be a bit of a stinker because bud will not take a ton of chances because of Canelo's power and Canelo has shown that he is just fine with laying off the Turbo and going to the cards. Just don't expect fireworks!

Gatti-Chico would have been one helluva fight.............

Personally, as long as the right guy wins, wide/wild scores are "tolerable".

cheatam scored the canelo bivol fight 115 - 113

Didn't all 3 judges on that card score it 115-113 and more blatantly, as I remember - didn't they all score the first 5 rounds for Canelo?

Cheatham is a ringer. I think Weisfeld is too. They take turns to turn in bad cards so it doesn't look too blatant - like a good pool hustler - let the mark win a few games otherwise he gets wise that he's being hustled.
