    Correct decision. Had it 7-5 myself. Don’t think it was as one-sided as the commentary made out.

    But Christ who was that bellend behind Crawford just then.

    every time Canelo steps up to elite level, he loses…Mayweather, Golovkin, Bivol, Crawford.

    Mayweather, Bivol, Bud.

    All 3 are boxers with elite movement which might just be the achillies heel for Canelo.

    I'm a massive fan of Crawford and thought he'd win... But I didn't see him winning that fight

    Special performance by a special fighter. Canelo won max 4 rounds.

    Thought Crawford won the fight clearly and he has cemented his place as an ATG and entry to the Hall of Fame.

    After watching a Crock of mediocrity, masquerading as a vacant World Title Fight in Belfast last night, this fight showed what a real World Title fight standard should be.

    Great boxing by Crawford. Clear winner but Canelo just can't or won't make adjustments.

    They are probably Mexican fans. Canelo could be unconscious, getting stretchered out the ring and they would say he won by DQ.

    Told you, all you who picked Canelo need to study more.

    I thought Crawford would win but watching the fight I thought Canelo won pretty easily

    His reluctance to use his jab was his undoing. When you’re the bigger man you need the jab to keep the opponent honest. Bet he didn’t throw 10 the whole fight.
