Crawford is going to produce one of the best displays of pure boxing

Perhaps it is a money grab, it's called prize fighting for a reason. Still better than any Jake Paul or 50 year old retired fighter doing an exhibition fight.

 

Another big fish getting fried tomorrow!
Bud wins!

 

Crawfords skillset does not mesh well with Canelo's. I don't know why people have so much faith in Crawford here. What Crawford excels at is offensively countering his opponents. He intentionally punches with his opponent and counters during the exchange. That is Crawfords greatest skillset. When Crawford is being economical and defensively minded he's a good fighter but he's not exceptional. It's only when he turns up the heat that we see him start countering during exchanges. But that's also where we see him get clipped too. Crawford when he's at his best offensively is very open to getting clipped. He has a very dangerous style where he likes to fight in the danger zone. The problem here is that Canelo is very economical and will not give Crawford that many opening. Canelo also has a high fight IQ and is very accurate. Canelo's style does not play into Crawfords hands at all.



Also, I don't think Crawford has put on as much weight as people think. He doesn't look any bigger than his weigh in against Madrimov. He just isn't drained.

 

Canelo hasn't stopped anyone in years and has looked quite lackluster in alot of his fights just doing enough to win whilst not really looking impressive.

People will point to the Madrimov fight but Madrimov has some of the best feet in boxing where as Canelo has concrete feet.

Crawford is taller with a significantly longer reach and whilst its guess work how Crawford will look at 168 I think he has a better chance than alot of people on this forum give him.

 

Canelo looks lean and ripped. He will be much faster than in recent years.

 

Floyd vs Maidana. Joke fight. Maidana will not land a glove.

 

He's gonna be looking for a counter uppercut on the inside.

 

If you think it's gonna be boring your insane. Crawford is coming to f canelo up.

 

You don't even know what's coming

 

I think Crawford will surprise people with his performance. Is this a money grab? Yes but people said the same about Pacquiao/De La Hoya.

Crawford has good movement, he'll force Canelo to press and walk him down and Crawford will evade and counter. I think stylistically this is problematic for Canelo, he doesn't do well when he's forced to chase.

 

I have money on Canelo but I does seem like a good chance with what Bud looks like that he is just going to go to war. It is hard to see what the game plan is other than going to war and letting the chips fall as they may.
I am basically hedged and will be cheering for Bud to do the near impossible.

 

Canelita will **** her pants from the beating she's about to receive, believe you me.

 

What is this misconception of Crawford being a slick boxer lol.

 

Like Michael Spinks attempted display of pure boxing against Tyson?

 

What about his display against Larry?
