TC got too much skills and dog in him. He wins this one.

Bud is going to hurt a lot of Mexicans feelings like ICE showing up at Home Deport early in the morning

Has TC even had a fight in super middleweight? Moving up 2 divisions is crazy, especially at his age.

One of the biggest robberies in boxing history. Good job giving Roy HIS gold medal. Nice gesture

[QUOTE=j3lademaster;15031169]Has TC even had a fight in super middleweight? Moving up 2 divisions is crazy, especially at his age.[/QUOTE]

Canelo will outbox him to an easy decision. If GGG couldn't catch Canelo, Bud isn't going to either. Canelo 9-3.

Canelo is one of the most skilled boxers I've ever seen, and his ability to hide being hurt is super impressive but I can't help but feel like he's either lost a step or has been coasting a bit. Hopefully it's the latter. TC is so explosive too, if he can retain that while gaining 14 lbs of muscle and power and not pull the Mikey Garcia weight gain then we have ourselves a fight. If TC puts on the weight correctly he's actually a bigger fighter than Bivol, that reach is no joke.

Its only 6 possible outcomes

Canelo knocks him out
Bud gives him a spence level beating exposing canelo as a hypejob
Bud knocks out canelo
Bud runs the whole fight like charlo and never even attempts to win after he feels his power
Canelo wins by a landslide 10-2
Draw


i douvr any other non robbery outcome happens. Its one of the 5

Highly unlikely. If for some reason that DOES happen? It'd be because Canelo wasn't hungry, didn't prepare properly, and is resting on his laurels.

He's fought almost 70 times and has taken on pretty much anyone and everyone in his class along the way. There is no "hypejob" with that type of career.

Having said that I believe that Crawford will win but it'll be close and I think goes the distance.

It's mostly based on Canelo perhaps taking it differently. Because I don't want to say lightly.

I'm not positive about this of course but he hasn't fought all that much recently and Crawford is a blitzer. I could see him hurting him early, maybe a knockdown, and then hanging on.

Are you a boxer? Cause it sounds like you have CTE or something with these ridiculous outcomes. Exposing Canelo as a hypejob? Knocking out Canelo?


Sit down and put Sesame Street on with that brain of yours.

I can definitely see Crawford winning, I don't think Canelo has seen a southpaw of his caliber and I think Crawford actually has more reach than Bivol. My main worry for Crawford is, knowing he has the reach advantage, he changes up his style too much and tries to be an out boxer at key points. But TC is MY age and I just have a hard time thinking I'd be able to gain 14 lbs of good weight if I were asked to. Adding weight almost always affects the footwork, may not see it in round 1 or 2; but by 5 or 6 it'll be there. I just have to give the benefit of the doubt to Alvarez's greatness and skills really. It took him taking a huge risk to move up to light heavy to actually lose, as far as super middle Canelo has been pretty dominant.

I can't see Crawford jumping 2 weight classes and doing anything real damage to Canelo. If freakin GGG, who connected flush on Canelo's chin a few times, wasn't able to put him down, I don't see Bud doing anything of note. Canelo cruises to a 9-3, 10-2 victory, then everyone realizes that Crawford moving up was too much.

Bivol hit him with a clean counter at light heavy, too. Canelo ate that like Kobayashi.

I don't see Bud knocking out Canelo or even seriously hurting him. I do think he has enough power to gain Canelo's respect. Bud is very crafty and adjusts well. He is not small, he spars heavier opponents. I know sparring may not mean much but I think Bud can hold his own. I see this as a close fight that Bud can win by UD. To be honest, I would like to be proven wrong. Not exactly a TC fan but Canelo has been outboxed before.

It's amazing how after all these years, all these suckas out there still don't have respect for Canelo. Canelo has knocked out or beaten so many fighters throughout the years.

I wouldn't be shocked if Crawford wins, but Canelo getting knocked down by a smaller guy when he went 24 rounds with prime Triple G and didn't get knocked down seems unlikely.

Fore sure. I'm just going going out on a limb a little and thinking TC is hungry and Canelo might not be. Probably not true but it's what I'm telling myself.

I want Canelo to win but will emotionally hedge as necessary :lol

Bud by decision.

Time to buy some chips and queso

Congrats to Terrence Crawford for beating Canelo. He is now a first ballot hall of famer. Canelo and Spence being his biggest win.

canelo must have lost a massive step, or took a dive. that was a horrible performance.

Took a dive, really.

[QUOTE=highwhey;15033633]canelo must have lost a massive step, or took a dive. that was a horrible performance.[/QUOTE]

Huge disservice to everything that Bud has done right tonight. Canelo had no plan and could not adapt mid fight. Usual bud fight where he downloads a ton of data in the early rounds and works you up on the latter rounds.

Called it. We eating chips and queso toniiiiiiiiight


Class act by Canelo. The sportsmanship is top tier, elite.

What's next for Terrence Crawford? I think he vacates the title at 168. And fight Vergil Ortiz Jr at 160 next uear.

Absolute props to Terrance Crawford. Guy had the performance of a lifetime. Stood in the pocket with Canelo and was able to land with success. Canelo's better days are clearly behind him. You could sense his frustration not being able to land cleanly on Bud.

He was first ballot no matter what he did this fight.

Damn Canelo fans are quiet. Lol Take your time.



Anyway this is probably the most classiest title match I’ve witnessed. Bud returns belts personally. High fives kid and wife.

Good call, Gobb. But it's easy to be gracious when you win, we all been there.

[QUOTE=highwhey;15033633]canelo must have lost a massive step, or took a dive. that was a horrible performance.[/QUOTE]

He doesn't jab anymore. He just looks for the power punch and that will not work with a faster boxer in Crawford. Terrible gameplan by his camp.

[QUOTE=j3lademaster;15033690]Good call, Gobb. But it's easy to be gracious when you win, we all been there.[/QUOTE]

The respect both showed each other speaks volumes. Do not downplay what took place and what we saw. Easy to be gracious when you win? What fighter did what Bud did? After he won he gave Canelo respect. Post press fight respect. It never wavered win or lose (Canelo showed this). Sorry but you don’t see this exchange often between two fierce competitors.
