    Bud via a SD.

    I am going with Bud to fight alá Mayweather style (In, Short Bursts, Out) and shock the casual boxing world with a SD Points Win.

    Movement is key for Bud. Footwork. He has the Ring IQ. Rooting for him.

    Let’s hope so. I think the majority of boxing fans are. Good guy, always very accessible to the fans.

    Trying to think of a fight to liken it to but I think Crawford starts sharp but Canelo breaks him down. Like Canelo v Khan maybe? Just without the brutal KO.

    Could be, mate. And yeah, I get the Khan comparison — smaller, slicker guy starts well but eventually gets walked down. I’m just hoping Crawford’s got a gear we haven’t seen yet. He’s unbeaten, and like Mayweather against Canelo, he’s always found a way when it mattered most.

    For me, Canelo plateau’d after unifying against Smith, Saunders, and Plant, and he’s been on the slide since. What really surprised me was Crawford on the scales — he looked every bit as big as Canelo. Whether that’s a benefit or a hindrance, we’ll only know once the bell rings.

    The true greats always find that extra level when their back’s against the wall. Leonard found it in round nine against Hagler, though Hagler gave him the first four. I just hope this fight lives up to the billing — but either way, I’ll be rooting for Bud.

    For once I’m happy at the delay. This is just normal getting up for work time now.

    Think Crawford has it as long as he does not get Meldrick Taylor'd in the last,

    Absolute masterclass from Bud.

    Don't stiff him on the cards

    Crawford 116-112 for me. We will see what the judges think though. I’ve looked at the Round by Round and ALOT of people have Canelo. Can’t see it myself.
