Has there been any official sources? Nothing but bootleg sites confirming this.

This waiting on official source

This waiting on official source

the only official sources would be turki, canelo, or bud themselves...anything else, depending on who is saying it and their cred, is either a strong rumor or some ol bullshyt

 

[merklman]

Canelo will beat the shyt out of him if he isn't weight drained

 

[WesCrook]

Crawford by a very comfortable decision

Y'all sound like the folks in 1963 who swore up and down that Liston was gonna whoop Clay

At least they were in the same weight class

Canelo hasn't stopped anyone in a couple years now. Crawford probably thinks he can stick and move using his length and boxing to survive and maybe stack rounds against a slower aging Canelo. Sparring is not a real fight but apparently Crawford has whupped on bigger guys like Andrade in his camps

Crawford is 3 years older than Canelo

 

[Pressure]

He wants the payday

Canelo has more wear and tear

Canelo has 66 fights vs Crawford with 41

I think he probably saw how he performed against Charlo (who he believes he can easily beat) and saw some stuff that made him think he can outbox Canelo without getting KO'd

Also I feel Crawford's logic is that:

1. Canelo is not a "true" 168 pounder, seeing that Canelo started his career as a Welterweight and moved up.
2. Most of Canelo's fights at 168 have been against fighters who were 160 pounders that moved up to 168
3. Canelo has been weighing at 166 pounds in alot of his fights at Super Middleweight, under the weight limit

 

[R=G]

You want to be in the same continent as Roy Jones? Better make it look easy, Crawford.

An interesting second fight after beating Errol

 

[R=G]

Terrance is going to get knocked out

If he takes a clean power shot..he might get shocked by getting knocked down. He needs speed and his defense has to be at its best
