Bud vs Canelo who takes it?

Crawford just has to get on his bicycle like he did against Pity Pat Postol and it's a relatively easy nights work for him, just as long as they don't stack the deck with a shoe box sized ring that is. It'll be boring as hell but Clenelo's feet are just way too slow. If Crawford tries to stand and trade with him his shaky chin will get cracked by one of Clen's clenbuterol bombs.

This is not like a Clen vs Usyk match up where in addition to everything else he has over him the later also has a iron chin and can beat him numerous different ways, Terry's CV is devoid of legit punchers and on the few occasions he has fought one he's been hurt or dropped and his chin is not clenbuterol-proof. Terry considers Egis and Cuban leprechaun Gamboa his toughest fights.

'What Crawford can do is identify what has been his toughest fight to date. He tabs two: his first lightweight title defense against former unified featherweight titlist Yuriorkis Gamboa, whom he stopped in the ninth round of an Omaha, Nebraska, homecoming fight in June 2014, and a welterweight title defense against “Mean Machine” Egidijus Kavaliauskas, who he also stopped in the ninth round of a December 2019 welterweight title defense at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Crawford had a rocky start against Gamboa, who controlled several early rounds before Crawford knocked him down four times en route to the victory. Kavaliauskas didn’t win many rounds but he gave Crawford some problems and appeared to score a knockdown that referee Ricky Gonzalez ruled a slip.

“I believe I made the ‘Mean Machine’ fight harder than it could have been,” Crawford told The Ring. “Gamboa, I think I was still a little green and he was seasoned. He was real skillful. He did a lot of things right and I started off doing a lot of things wrong, and he picked up on that.”

In the Kavaliauskas fight, Crawford said his issues were because “I was not being patient. I was fighting his fight.”
