Comments Thread For: Canelo vs Crawford ? Breaking down the stats

[wrecksracer]

When was the last time Canelo had a KO? 4 years ago? He couldn't KO Ryder or Charlo. All of you people choosing Canelo by KO are dreaming.

You might be right about that, but you might also be wrong.

Could be, but Crawford is much better than Ryder or Charlo. Far more likely that it will be a decision one way or the other.

the cuckoo prediction is TBud ko Saul

he was hitting 140 pounder Postol with all kinds of sht and they still went to the scorecards

Saul has more defense chin size skill and experience

Canelo is the money generator for many business people and he is expected to generate millions for 3-4 more years. Bud is 38-38 and can't make money on his own bc there is no big fights for him other than Canelo. So from a business perspective it looks like it would be very smart business for Canelo to rig the fight and also for Bud to accept the order to play soft and take the decision L for $30-40 million. These are the only numbers that matter. Canelo is still the longer term money maker, Bud is at the very end with no leverage or value.

There is no one else Bud can fight that can generate even close to Canelo level money.

big fights that Saul could make

TBud 2
Mbilli
Benavidez
Bivol

only remaining TBud big fight would be a rematch with Saul

[SouthpawRight]

Mbilli Lester will deliver

that fight would be a main event of its own in the hbo days

The result will depend on Canelo's strategy ; if he comes forward, applies pressure and lets his hands go, there could be a knockdown and then he will cruise to the victory. If he decides to be more measured, careful and patient, it could be a boring fight with a close decision (with Crawford winning it... the judges having received Turkish D. money, thus avenging Canelo's disrespect.)

he was able to drop charlo , munguia, ryder, berlanga,etc... all of them much bigger than crawford, if canelo lands one punch like he did on them, lil bud will not make it to the cards...
this isnt gamboas power we are talking about...

TBud has defensive holes and will likely be undersized for 168

bad night for him if he's regularly experiencing Saul's power

My take away from this breakdown; Which was superb by the way is that on average Terence Crawford "Bud" Crawford hits a lot harder and is a much better finisher as his fights end much sooner than Canelo's.

However, Saul Canelo Alvarez is more of an accurate counterpuncher of the two fighters, who throws more punches per fight and has a slightly better defense than Crawford.

This fight is as close to a 50/50 fight if I had never seen one.
