Comments Thread For: Canelo-Crawford II: There's no other choice

[elfag]

Nobody wants to see this

Hardcore fans seen Crawford had the solution to canelos cement feet

And a lot of the casuals I talked to felt it was boring

There's a small chance Crawford could get the stoppage as he showed a lot of respect last time and may be comfortable taking more rest but canelos jaw is rock solid

Canelo gave all he had left in that fight and looked absolutely defeated throughout. Absolutely no chance a rematch is even remotely competitive.

Canelo needs to do something different. If he can come in clean-shaven this time, that would give Crawford something else to think about. Nash out - His Majesty

Canelo should play golf. Nevermind that he's shot; he's boring. Loads up on two power punches every round and does nothing else.

Was hoping Crawford would campaign at 160 but I understand why he would take the rematch. Will be even easier than last time.

Think Canelo wants the rematch, since the judges’ scorecards were close despite that it shouldn't had been, like it was with the first Golovkin fight where he was outdone yet got a draw. He probably believes he couldn’t perform worse than he did and has the experience to work on a gameplan with preparation like he did in the rematch with GGG.

But the problem is that Crawford CAN perform better than he did in the first fight, and if there’s a rematch, he will. Crawford will have acclimated further to the weight class and have the same experience coming to the fight. Any improvements done will also be done by Crawford's team and he be the one who adjust more quickly to any challenges posed due to his athleticism, Ring IQ and skillset.

TBud has Saul figured out

cue that counter left in the final 10 seconds of round 12 that nearly folded Saul’s legs

I think Saul would get stopped in the rematch

rather each fight younger guys and give them a chance to become stars: Hamzah Diego Janibek

this is an unwarranted rematch

if Saul wasn’t a star, no one would be asking for it

9-3 and hurt in the final round is a wide margin

He's still going to end up at 160, he's just going to wait for Janibek/Lara/Adames to sort it all out first. Adames has an overdue mandatory and Lara and Janibek are about to unify, so there's no immediate fight for Crawford at 160 that would be worth doing. The Canelo rematch will keep him busy and get him paid while he waits for an undisputed fight at 160.

of course there's other choices. retire. fight top challengers. but i prefer retirement for both. everybody 35+ should be retired anyway.

Lance Pugmire makes the case for Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and Terence Crawford fighting again.

No, it's going to be the same result and the match was boring as s h I e t.
