    Southpaw? Or Orthodox? Or will he switch?

    He needs to come out in SP and stick with it!

    I would say that the thing to do is to use the Mayweather blueprint so orthodox it is.

    An Eduro. Might be a bumpy road. But I will be pulling for him.

    I said he’d stick with southpaw against Spence, and for this I say he’ll switch to try and befuddle Canelo, he needs to as the much smaller man.
    I didn’t think he’d go orthodox against Spence because Spence is is a southpaw and Crawford probably isn’t as good at fighting southpaws whilst being in the orthodox stance and it also would give Spence an advantage.

    Same, I just think Canelo wrecks him at some point.

    I believe he will use both stances. But I feel he'll more than likely be in southpaw most of the night simply because Canelo uses his jab well to set up over hand and strong hook.

    At the end of the day. Canelo is still flat foot like Spence so Crawford will use a lot of angles when he gets in and out. Footwork gave guys like Amir Khan multiple opportunities of success for multiple rounds until getting clipped. Crawford being a better fighter than Khan and much smarter, we shouldn't be surprised to see him find many of those same successes and for a longer period of time than Khan.

    He just needs to stay in the southpaw stance he always seems to get clipped when he switches and he doesn't want to get clipped by Canelo.

    No, Bud doesn`t fight like Floyd, the southpaw stance will set up different shots for him.

    No, he`ll use his usual movement, Canelo is methodical, his fights start out cagey.

    Crawford has games he can play off the lead hand control.

    Canelo often drags his rear foot while punching leaving him open to counters.
