    Canelo is going to bust him up and stop him.

    Canelo will win in a close match and people will lowball the win by saying he beat an older welterweight.

    Canelo is the "B" side in this one - he received a gift draw over Golovkin in their first fight, but in this one, the officials will be against him.

    He will need a KO to win. American star boxers are always favored over boxers from other countries when fighting in the USA. I've seen it many, many times.

    A wise betting choice is Crawford by decision.

    Probably Crawford. Canelo is shot, Crawford is more skilled and the size disparity is less than people think.

    The fight is interesting, yet somehow feels disappointing. I can't help but feel we didn't see the best Crawford had to offer. He spent 6 years dancing around the Spence fight only to destroy him. What else could he have done?

    Hope 38 year old Crawford boxes his ginger nut off because Canelo is a such an overrated stiff

    Trouble is Crawford is overrated also and he is going to act like jesus if he boxes Bumnelo's face off.

    While I think Crawford poses an interesting stylistic match up i think he's too small

    Canelo didn't look good vs scull though which is some writing on the wall

    Crawford beat madrimov but looked less dangerous than at 147 and still has 14 more pounds to go

    Been saying from the start when the fight was just a rumour that I think Crawford has the style to win. Crawford on points.

    When was the last time he fought a welterweight and a 38 year old at that?

    Plays out like Hopkins vs De La Hoya, a natural bigger guy against a guy who should be nowhere near the weight class. Canelo stoppage mid to late.

    I don't see Crawford hurting Canelo at all so let's go with Crawf on points. Canelo needs a KO imo
