Crawford is also untested at 168, where Canelo is already very comfortable at. Canelo has a lot of advantages here than Crawford.

No doubt on paper as the betting odds already say a lot. In every fight, there's always a favorite and an underdog, but if we think this underdog (Crawford) is being undervalued, then it might be smarter to bet on him. This is a big fight happening in two months, so there's still plenty of time. Hopefully, they don’t overtrain and risk injuries, would be a shame if the fight ends up getting postponed.

For me Canelo at 1.56 and Crawford at 2.45 are fair odds. There are reasons why Crawford is the underdog. These are the odds released by Odds Shark. There are other odds but they are mostly within the range. Anyway we look at it, Crawford is really the underdog. And I don't think Crawford is being undervalued because he is the underdog. For example, the thing that I mentioned about him being untested at 168. This matters. This is just one of the reasons that contribute to his underdog odds.

I guess those odd makers have really all the data to put Canelo with that odds and so we can't question them about it. However, if we are fans of Crawford, then it's good to see him a a huge underdog and obviously we will love to bet on him.

Yes, that is one factor that the odd makers have considered, Crawford is untested at 168 and this is the best weight class of Canelo. And I don't think Canelo has been beaten at super middleweight either. His lost to Bivol is at 175.

Yes, of course. If we really believe in Crawford that he will beat Canelo, I want Crawford to be as underdog as possible. The higher his betting odds are, the better. That makes our bets more profitable. If he is 7.00 underdog but we believe he can manage to upset Canelo, that would make us happy. Make it 10.00 even.

But this fight is between two legends that I really admire. I have already thought of not betting. I'm afraid siding with only one of them because of a bet would make my watching it less interesting.
