16-1 is ridiculous...

Crawford is a great fighter, but styles make fights and Khan is not going to be an easy fight for him. Gamboa and Dulorme's speed had him befuddled to a point where he had to walk them down to win because he couldn't just comfortably counterpunch to a win as he's used to. He did well pressing them, but Khan does well when pressed too.

Khan is taller, has great handspeed, solid stamina, does well against southpaws, and is not the style of fighter that Crawford can just sit back and pick off in a southpaw. Crawford is going to have to press him into making a mistake (which is a likely scenario) and finish him (which isn't as easy as it sounds). Either way, this will not be a 16-1 type of fight.

Agreed. 16-1 is really a ridiculous number that I can't help believe someone pulled out of their back door. This will be quite competitive throughout, an interesting fight. Tough to make a solid call on who gets the W... although I'm leaning toward Bud after getting behind early/mid rounds and closing out well.

The odds strongly favor Crawford not because the fight is likely to be "easy", but because of how the fight is likely to END. Regardless of whether Khan wins an early round or two.

Khan should win by decision.

Khan was once a good fighter let down by a bad chin. Maybe a few years ago, pre Canelo I could see him worrying Crawford, but in his last fight he was knocked down by Vargas. Couple that with the Garcia, Prescott, Canelo KO’s, and brutal fights with Maidana, Peterson etc, I think Amir is too shop worn and vulnerable to pull this one off.
