And if I'm not mistaken, he is a underdog in the Spence fight (correct me if I'm wrong), and although he won that fight, this is a very different scenario for him He will be facing one of the best super middleweight champion in Canelo. That is a tall order even for a elite boxer like Crawford.
No, Crawford was actually a slight favorite in the Spence fight.. Spence was at +125. But this time, Crawford is the underdog, with Canelo sitting at around -180.. that shows the level of respect oddsmakers still have for Canelo. even though a lot of people believe Crawford has a real shot, the odds still favor Canelo.
It’s really hard to take down someone like Canelo, but I still remember early in his career when Mayweather made him look like an amateur. If Crawford can somehow pull off that kind of performance then he has a real chance to win.
This is why it is a very good opportunity to bet if you are rooting for Crawford on this match. Both boxers have already etched their name in this sports, so their popularity is quite good already. For sure, there will be a lot of bettors for both camps.
