    Canelo by stoppage or close decision. Crawford was leagues above Mbilli

    eh, get knocked down or stopped? Canelo might have literally the best p4p chin in the history of the sport. He’s also great at rolling with punches. 68 recorded pro fights, been hurt I believe exactly once and it lasted for about 3 seconds.

    Lose on the cards? Yeah I think he may well. Go down or get knocked out? I seriously doubt it.

    He is the biggest star in the sport. He brings crazy money to any fight on his own. It’s ridiculous he rescheduled it for that reason, but when you walk into the room with what he has to offer, you can do that ****.

    50/50 fight for me. If Canelo couldn't KO Berlanga or Munguia. I don't see him stopping Mbilli.

    Close fight that I am beginning to think the younger hungrier Mbili takes.

    I reckon it will be a close kind of fight where there is an argument for Mbilli winning but Canelo will obviously get the decision.

    It's an interesting matchup because of this possibilty

    On the other hand stylistically it favors Canelo

    With a Canelo win Mbilli would be the best opponent that Canelo has beaten since pre Bivol

    Good fight

    It's been almost 10 years of people trying to discredit Terence Crawford by moving goal posts constantly

    Don't you guys ever get tired?

    Mbilli is tailor made for Canelo tho, so it will be a good fight.

    A decision loss is still the most likely loss scenario for him but there comes a time for everyone where there chin will be cracked if they continue fighting top guys, Chavez being floored by a relative non puncher in Randall for example.

    Canelo looked the most notably hurt I've seen him, since fighting the other Cotto brother at 19, in the last few seconds of the Crawford fight and while Crawford's a more skilled fighter than Mbili by far, I doubt he packs the same kind of power at 168.

    Beterbiev would need to be wrapped in bubble wrap for protection prior to the fight just for safety

    Mbilli has to win by knockout, he could win 10 rounds and lose a decision here.
