Looking at this fight more closely I think Crawford has a solid chance. For 1 he's not as small as I thought he would look in the face off, and 2 he has real Dog in him. Let's not forget Canelo hasn't looked too good in his last couple of fights and was taken to school by the smaller Floyd Mayweather. Also Crawford hasn't looked hurt since he fought Gamboa so his chin is definitely sturdy. Crawford is no Floyd, but he's got skills and is probably the best switch hitter in boxing today. I think he's going to give it a good go, and I wouldn't sell him short. Crawford has big time confidence in his abilities, I really think Canelo is in for a fight.
Canelo is getting $150 mill for Crawford. Bud is getting $50 mill. Canelo isn't going to fight DB for less than $200 mill now... smh
The only thing that would make me hesitate putting the mortgage on Canelo is that he has been slowing down every fight, just a tiny bit. Canelo's speed is one of the attributes that made him so successful.
Crawford is much smaller, will be heavily slowed down by the extra weight, and couldn't put much of a dent in Madrimov. Bud has declined just as much as Canelo if not more so and is the much smaller man and smaller puncher, with Canelo also being the most skilled fighter Bud has ever fought. I know people want to believe in Bud but he should be a way bigger underdog than this.
Canelo was never fast. I thought you said Clenelo would punch a hole through Crawford. Why so reluctant a few months later ?
There is no source for it. But people are likely citing Marca or w/e that trash site is. They just pull numbers out of their ass and write clickbait articles for traffic. There are a few more sites like this that are just making up boxing and MMA purses. On some podcast Bud said that he is making 10 mil.
Canelo is now a one-dimensional, low-volume puncher with poor variety in his punches (enough to bruise Bivol’s arm, but nothing more). He’s also flat-footed. We already know what he’s going to do: close the distance, try to disguise a big hook, or try to land a big uppercut. That’s all he does. He will eat many of Crawford’s punches along the way. Crawford should not miss his opportunity here.
Thats overkill by Canelo got a feeling Turki will rob him now just for making him pay up that much just to get him the ring.
