    Only 6 outcomes? You really narrowed it down there, bud. Way to go out on a limb.

    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.
    Why do you think TC wins? Especially if you think it's going the distance, that's basically you saying Canelo is going to get straight up out-boxed.

    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

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