Canelo vs Crawford getting closer..... (wink, wink)

[Master]

Close 2 rounds so far both cautious and feeling each other up.

[Master]

Crawford sharpness wins 3rd round.

[Master]

Both landing cleaner in 4th but Crawford was better.

[Master]

Canelo face getting red and puffy by Crawford sharp counterpunching.

4-1 Crawford for me

[Master]

Crawford controlling the contest and enjoying himself. Canelo appears slow footed and loading up.

[Master]

Crawford is winning this but Canelo seems to fight like he knows he will get the decision.

Round 9 looked to be exciting before the accidental head clash.

[Master]

Crawford won the fight handily but will he get the decision?

[Primo Carnera]

Don’t want to sound smug, but went pretty much as I expected it to. Canelo deserves respect for clearly dominating a division (bar one obvious duck) that I don’t think is ideal for him, but he is no ATG. Alarming how few answers he had to closing Crawford down, especially when Crawford was fighting Southpaw.
A good Boxer usually comes out on top against a fighter.
And like I said before, for me, this doesn’t put Bud as an ATG either, simply because he hasn’t done enough through his career, and this one result albeit excellent doesn’t make up for that.
It’s a shame Bud wasted the best part of his career through bad promotional decisions and inactivity. He certainly has the talent to maybe be up there. Too late now, but massive congrats to him.
