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.
Ok, I have to check my sports record then, and I won at 1.59x ML on Crawford. So yeah, he might be the favorite there. But now, Crawford is a huge underdog and we all know what is the reason behind.
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.
It's because he was really new and it was the first time that he fought in the US. Although Oscar that time has saw a lot of potential in Canelo that's why he brought him in the US and then fight Floyd during his best years. Canelo later admitted that Floyd is one of the best opponent he has face in his career and it's obvious that Floyd defense is very hard to crack. Gonna be hard to pull that one, Crawford is good but not as elite as Floyd. We have seen him hit by his last opponent at 154 lbs and he almost go down.
