Crawford vs Canelo prediction thread.

From this perspective I agree with you. Not so much because neither of them shone in their last fight (Canelo less so than Crawford in my opinion), but because ever since the fight was announced, it seemed forced to me, a match made only because two big names will bring in a lot of money, with complete disregard for the fact that a super middleweight will face off against a boxer who, in his last fight, fought for the first time as a super welterweight and will now jump up two weight classes to fight at super middleweight (which is why I say weight classes exist for a reason).

I think the fights for both of them were more logical and natural. At super middleweight there are three contenders who deserve a title shot, Mbilli, Pacheco, and Iglesias (the Cuban is my favorite of the three), and it would have been interesting to see one of them against Canelo (instead, there's already talk of Eubank Jr. after Crawford....). While Crawford also had several interesting options, such as Murtazaliev, Ortiz Jr., and Ennis (who recently announced his move to super welterweight), I'm not exactly excited about Canelo vs. Crawford, I was more interested in Benavidez vs. Morrell.

 

I'll just leave this here, my post about this fight back in january.

Though I have much more confidence in Bud right now than before, taking him by close decision.

 

I'm rooting for Crawford with absolutely no confidence in him winning...............I'll leave it at that

 

Yes, you are right.
Eubank Jr or maybe Sharaz afterwards for Canelo.
Definitely not Benavidez!

I think Crawford retires after Canelo.

 

Crawford SD Canelo
(but it really should be a UD, one judge will find some bizarre way to score it for Canelo)

 

I think Crawford can do a number on this version of Canelo.

Canelo feet are getting slower, and he struggles to cut off the ring..

Crawford just needs to stay off the ropes and keep circling..

Vs Eroll Crawford done some nice covering up with gloves as a face guard and used a strong jab he will need that jab here too .. small details Crawford has to fight a perfect fight..

Crawford via SD

 

Canelo UD with a knockdown or 2 in the fight

 

Yeah I could see that happening.
