    Officially set, 4/20 @ MSG on ESPN PPV. WBO welterweight title at stake, 2nd defense of Crawford.

    The challenger is ranked #3 by the WBO and is ½″ taller but with three inches less than has the champion, who is a year his junior. Khan will be returning nine years after he last fought at the garden, knocking out Paulie Malignaggi within eleven rounds. Crawford stopped Henry Lundy in the auxiliary "Little Theater" in 2016 and Félix Manuel Díaz in his main venue debut in 2017.

    I can't see anything other than a Crawford KO.

    If Amir can use and sustain his speed for 12 rounds and use good angle potshots, he can make this a long night for Terrance.

    Ah the wish list before every Khan fight!
    If only he could box at range, get in and out, ambush his opponent with fast flurries, impress the judges, use his strengths, box clever, he'd be king of the worl....oh wait he got caught again, damn!

    Khan is going to be super sharp. World class fast combos....till Crawford hits him on his chinny chin chin.
    Crawford always has stopped his opponent when hurt.

    Khans inactivity & weight jumping will hurt him now... But he actually does better against the slicker more athletic types than the come forward more physical types.. I think he'll have his moments in a fight that is more competitive than people are maybe thinking it will be, but ultimately he'll lose, he's a part timer now with too much wear & tear & inactivity. Good boxer but Crawford is at his peak...

    Gotta be Bud by KO. A points win could happen but hes damn accurate with his punches and it doesnt take much to topple Khan. Khan lands a lucky haymaker? Only chance i can give him.

    As Ive said before what Ive seen of Bud doesn't impress me much
    He hardly looked like the " Cold Eyed Assassin" against Benevidez who was fighting on one good leg & gave Bud all he wanted tull he tired himself out. Khan gas two good legs he could actually box Buds ears off. I m ay be totally wrong about Bud Ive been wrong before ONCE!! lol If he KO's Khan spectactuallyI;ll give him gis dues & admit I was wrong

    Not sure why beating Khan would elevate Crawford’s standing in yours or anyone’s eyes...to me outside of the name recognition of Khan he brings very little to the table and is a low risk - low reward type. I would rather watch him fight Kavaliauskas

    This will be a great fight. I think it goes to a decision. Virgil Hunter will have Khan back boxing and being smart and not trading punches. Tough fight for both fighters. Crawford by UD.
