When someone predicts success for Terence Crawford (41-0, 31 KO), they often recall the unsuccessful fights of Saul Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KO), including a rather unclear fight against William Scull (23-1, 9 KO). However, Scull still considers the Mexican to be the favorite.
In early May, Canelo won against the Cuban on points — 115-113, 116-112 and the absurd 119-109 from Danrex Tapdasan, who simply disgraced himself with that score. Crawford also likes to counterattack, but his talent is rated much higher than Scull's. The problem is that he is in two weight categories above, as indicated by the Cuban.
“Alvarez remains my favorite with an advantage of 75 to 25. He will lose weight, while Crawford, on the contrary, will gain, and this will matter. Perhaps, if Terence had established himself in the super middleweight earlier, having another fight to gain experience and see what he is made of... But he didn’t do that, so I prefer Canelo. If the result is different, I will be very surprised. I think Canelo will stop him before the start of the twelfth round. The weight limit in which they will clash speaks in his favor. Although Crawford looks physically strong now, the jump in categories is too great, and this will have significant implications. Therefore, I bet on Alvarez,” Scull added.
The Canelo-Crawford fight for the Mexican's titles according to the WBC, WBA, IBF, and WBO in the super middleweight category will take place on September 13 in Las Vegas. The broadcast will take place on Saturday evening on the Netflix platform.
