Crawford's last fight was in August against Israil Madrimov. It was Crawford's first time fighting at 154 pounds, and he won the WBA super-welterweight title. Crawford won by unanimous decision, but it wasn't easy. Some people think it was his toughest fight yet.
Now, Madrimov's got something to say about Crawford's next fight. He told Boxing News what he thinks will happen:
"I think Canelo will win by decision. It's a very different weight class."
Madrimov knows what he's talking about. He was the last guy to fight Crawford, after all. But he's not just sitting around. He's got his own fight coming up next month against Vergil Ortiz Jr. for the WBC interim super-welterweight title. He's trying to bounce back after losing to Crawford.
Tim Bradley, who used to be a champ in two weight classes, has his own ideas about the Crawford-Canelo fight. He thinks one of them is going to completely dominate the other.
We'll have to wait and see what happens when Crawford and Canelo finally face off. It's going to be a big deal, with Crawford trying to become a champ in yet another weight class and Canelo defending his spot at the top.
