Saul Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford – Who wins super-fight?
Pound-for-pound kings Saul Canelo Alvarez (63-2-2) and Terence Crawford (41-0) lock horns for the undisputed super-middleweight championship on Saturday, September 13 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, live on Netflix.
BBN asked their panel of experts who they are picking to become boxing’s biggest star after the final bell sounds.
Erik Morales: “Crawford is the longer fighter. He has more speed, better technique. If things go as planned, Crawford could take the fight.”
Brian “BoMac” McIntyre: “Canelo stands in front of you. It’ll be easier to box him and add up the points as the rounds go on.”
Teddy Atlas: “I liked Crawford before Canelo looked not so good in his last fight. I just think Crawford is really special. I think Canelo is really good. I think Crawford is special. I know he hasn’t fought that resume that everyone wants. But you have that ingredient, I think he has it.”
Tim Rickson, BBN Editor: “This is Canelo’s division, he has made that abundantly clear over the past four to five years. His experience up at 168lbs could count for a lot when in the ring with career welterweight Crawford, who has only fought up at 154lbs once. But, when it comes to skill and ability, I have to place ‘Bud’ above ‘Canelo’. He won’t have to go looking for the Mexican, so I think Crawford could land some very eye-catching combinations on him to win on points.”
