How shocked would you be if Crawford manages to pull off a knockout win against Canelo?

    Chances of that seems slim but you can't count out Crawford's killer instinct ability. When he's out for blood he almost always pulls off the stoppage and I do think he's sharp enough to at least get Canelo's attention and perhaps hurt him or even cause a cut. Canelo knocking out Crawford wouldn't be too much of a surprise since he's the naturally bigger fighter but Crawford stopping Canelo would definitely be a shocker IMO.

    I would be pretty surprised to see Canelo's body lying down on the ground right now from a knockout, yes.

    Depends on how content canelo is with losing. If he presses anything can happen

    If Canelo gets knocked out it will be because someone told him to throw the fight or threw the fight himself.

    I would think it was fixed.

    I would be mildly surprised. No more than that.

    I will **** my* pants if Crawford pulls that off. Canelo is too durable.

    *by "my" pants, I mean the pants I will be wearing at the time; I may not necessarily be the owner of said pants. In fact, I may borrow them from Flo_Raiden.

    I hope Crawford brings his own judges, because Cheatham and Sutherland have form and it’s unlikely they’ll change their spots. Anyway, Alvarez is in with a live one, for a change, and may well be pummelled so much he’ll be so battered and swollen, the doctor or Tom Taylor will step in, here’s hoping!

    It could happen by volume I suppose, with Canelo maybe getting stopped on his feet. I would be shocked and give HUGE props to Bud if he sleeps Canelo though.

    It's impossible. Not even Golovkin could KO Canelo.

    If Canelo steps out of line he is going to get dropped and stopped.

    Canelo hasn't been hurt by Bivol or Kovalev, a blown-up welterweight who couldn't even hurt Madrimov at 154, is not going to do anything against an iron-chinned fighter at 168. If Bud knocked out or stopped Canelo, it'd be one of the biggest shocks in 21st-century boxing.

    I picked Canelo decision. I think Crawford can out box Canelo but don't see it as a likely. I think Canelo can knock Bud out. If Bud KO'd or TKO'd Canelo I would be completely shocked. I want to see a KO in this fight, I am tired of big fight decisions. This is a high profile fight on Netflix and boxing needs this to be exciting and have a dramatic finish.
