Crawford, who's spent most of his career at welterweight, is making a big jump up two weight divisions for this fight. He's coming off a win against Israil Madrimov in Los Angeles last month, where he nabbed the WBA super-welterweight title. Now, he's aiming even higher.
Many fans see Crawford as the underdog because of the weight difference. But some boxing experts think he's got a real shot at pulling off an upset.
Zab Judah, who used to be the undisputed welterweight champ himself, is one of those experts. In a recent interview, Judah didn't hold back in his support for Crawford:
"Crawford, no hesitation. Big 'Bud'. We gonna have to roll Canelo up. We gonna have to pack him up baby. It's a very big challenge. With his skills, the way he's adapting to the size, brother, when I see them standing toe-to-toe and side-by-side, I said game over, Terence Crawford. And listen, don't be surprised if he stops him. Don't be surprised if Terence 'Bud' Crawford stops Canelo."
Judah's not the only one backing Crawford. Deontay Wilder, the former WBC heavyweight champ, also thinks Crawford's got what it takes to win.
The fight is just weeks away, and fans can't wait to see if Crawford can pull off the upset or if Canelo will defend his titles. It's shaping up to be one of the biggest boxing events of the year.
