Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs. Bud Crawford September 13
I have a feeling this fight might end in a draw, setting up a potential trilogy between them.
Both fighters are highly competitive, and I don’t see either of them getting knocked out. It’ll most likely be a close, tactical match, and with that kind of fight, controversies often follow. A rematch would be almost guaranteed, and from there, a full trilogy could easily happen.
Whoever wins in this fight, let's expect a trilogy between the two fighters. After all, that's what fans want. A battle between 2 of the best pound-for-pound fighters.

Like you, I don't see it happening as well. It will be a battle of skills, and power until the final ring of the bell. I favored Crawford to win on this one just because he's undefeated, and he's more skillful than Canelo IMO. We saw Canelo fight William Scull in his last fight, and if that's the type of Canelo that we will be seeing against Crawford, he has low to no chance on winning against a skillful fighter like Crawford.
So, my guess Terence Crawford will win this fight via KO.
Let's not forget that in Canelo's whole professional career in boxing, he has never been KNOCKED OUT or even KNOCKED DOWN even once. No one can knock him down. Not even Mayweather, or even Triple G, and for this reason, I don't think there will be a knockdown that's happening so most probably it will end up in a decision - possible a split decision.
