Fight Breakdown: Crawford v Khan complete analysis preview

The Spence fight has a much slower pace to it, and that suits Crawford's counter-attacking. Against Khan it's very high pace, Khan will be moving all over the place. I predict Spence vs Crawford will be very cagey and I actually think it'll be a snoozefest. Whereas Khan vs Crawford will be a fight where both men are accurate and land and where the momentum clearly shifts between rounds.

 

Khan will get stopped late in the fight.

 

Indeed. People high on Khan's speed - which is fair enough, he's damn quick - but Bud doesn't exactly box in slow motion. Personally, I think it goes a little longer then 3, because against Khan there's no need to rush or panic... he will provide the opening, eventually. Crawford will just let the errors come, so he doesn't need to force them.

Khan will probably look pretty good for the completed rounds and we will read on here how he was ahead at the time of the stoppage....

 

I think Crawford thinks he can adjust to Khan in the ring and this is where the problem for Crawford will be, the type of handspeed and style Khan has before you know it he 5 or 6 rounds up, then Crawford will have to press and go looking for Khan..

I think it depends on what Khan has left in tank, if Khan can have gas for 12 rounds and doesn't let Crawford on later in the fight Khan has a great chance to win on points, for Crawford to win he has to stop Khan late, I don't think Crawford can outbox Khan over the distance..

 

When comparing Canelo to Crawford you forgot to mention the 25-30lbs on fight night weight difference..

Khan will actually be the bigger guy in the ring this time.

 

When we talk about anything relating to Khan vs Canelo people must understand every shot Canelo lands is amplified due to the weight disparity so the whole contest is flawed and unfair to judge.

A body shot from Canelo has more of a effect than anyone as same weight as Khan.. Canelo body shots really hurt Khan and slowed him down.. Khan was already very hurt to the body before Canelo landed the KO punch.. Therfore him setting up for that right was result of the weight difference and Khan being hurt and not thinking like he normally thinks.. If Canelo was same size as Khan, Khan could of kept moving and outboxed Canelo over 12 rounds who knows..

Again Bud no way hits as hard as Canelo and tell you the truth we don't really know if he a big puncher at 147 anyway...

 

I would like to see a wiring diagram for your head.

 

Did you read anything I said in my last post? Lol

 

Everybody continues to chalk up Canelo's sensational stoppage of Khan to "weight disparity" all in an effort to discredit Canelo's big win. The fight wasn't at 160 lbs people. It was contested only 8 lbs above welterweight, the same amount of weight between the Middleweight and Super Middleweight limits which Canelo had no problem moving up to a mere 3 months after beating GGG lmao.

It wasn't like Kell Brook who had to move up the full 13 lbs to fight GGG since GGG refused to meet Brook at a catchweight. Canelo Khan was essentially a Super Welterweight bout. The weight was a factor of course but fighters move up from 147 to 154 all the time so stop acting like a single lb higher than that was some massive leap for Khan. Canelo was very fair to Khan in agreeing to meet him at 155, unlike other catchweights where fighters tried to drain their opponents, Canelo vs Khan is an example of a catchweight that made sense and benefitted the fighter coming up.

That said, to your point, of course Bud in no way hits as hard as Canelo and that's a big reason why Khan has a shot vs Bud. Not only the weight of Canelo at 155 lbs vs Bud at 147 but also Khan retaining his speed at 147 by not bulking up like he tried to do for Canelo. Khan tried to bulk up those 8 lbs vs Canelo and in doing so it affected his speed and stamina. In this fight we should see a fitter trimmer Khan who should have better stamina than he did vs Canelo.
