Ortiz named the favorite for the Alvarez - Crawford fight

WBC interim bantamweight champion Virgil Ortiz is confident Saul Alvarez will beat Terence Crawford.

"I think Crawford is too small. I know he weighs 82 pounds right now. But making weight and being at your natural weight are two different things. I would understand if Terence fought someone of a smaller caliber, but we're talking about Canelo. This dude is good. He's been ruling boxing for a long time. I think it's going to be a clean win. Crawford misses punches. He misses them like everybody else.

Sometimes Crawford misses clean punches. If you miss a clean one from Canelo, that's bad. It's really bad no matter who you are. Canelo is fast. He's not a slow puncher. He's going to catch you off guard. It's different.

Crawford is a proud guy. You've seen him stay at close range. I don't think he should stay there if he wants to win, but sometimes pride takes over. Sometimes you just have to fight," Ortiz said.
