Helping to build a building you end up boxing in is crazy.

If Canelo didn't have the machine behind him, I would feel more comfortable picking bud. I'm not saying that something like that is going to go down, but I also watched Canelo GGG 1. It helps having home field advantage, and Canelo is the face of boxing.

Edit: sorry for all the typos, I'm using hand tracking to type in my headset

As long as Crawford establishes a strong and consistent jab like Mayweather and Bivol did against Canelo and fights behind it, Crawford should be fine.

 

[TheGrat1]

I only really caught the last 2 rounds (making food) but based on the decision and commentary the entire fight was basically what I saw every time I peeked in.

Wonder how much he got paid for this fight

 

[MaestroMike]

Bout to make over $100 mill for this fight haha

 

[RedC]

Got damn, they're wasting time. It's past my bedtime.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

Why is he bringing a guitar to the ring

 

[TheGrat1]

Epic lip sync. Caught in 4k.

Why did Crawford come out to Mexican music?

Why did Crawford come out to Mexican music?

 

[MaestroMike]

Ilia Topuria called him out for a boxing fight and Crawford used his entrance music

Here we go!!!

Canelo 10-9 Round 1 . What do you think?

 

[RedC]

Rd 1
10-9 Crawford

 

[TheGrat1]

Round 1: Even
Akvarez: 10
Crawford: 10

 

[paolo11]

Round 2 is close. Maybe Crawford? But looks like either or. Still very close. Chess match

 

[RedC]

2nd rd was too close to judge, so I'll default it to Canelo
19-19 tie

 

[TheGrat1]

Alvarez is favoring that left hook to the liver, with Bud's arm up I can see why.

Round 2: Crawford

Alvarez: 19
Crawford: 20

 

[paolo11]

Round 3,Crawford but very close again.

Seems like warm up rounds. Still checking the distance .

 

[RedC]

I think Crawford edged that 3rd round but I doubt the judges will see it that way.

29-28 Crawford.

 

[TheGrat1]

Canelo is too passive. I understand being careful but he does not look quick enough to straight out-box Crawford.

Round 3: Crawford
Alvarez: 28
Crawford: 30

 

[paolo11]

Round 4 Canelo because of that good shot at the end

 

[RedC]

4th Round
39-37 Crawford

 

[TheGrat1]

Crawford with a couple flicker jabs, there. Canelo is not throwing very much but he is doing a great job cutting off the ring.

Round 3: Alvarez

Alvarez: 38
Crawford: 39

 

[paolo11]

Round 5 is too close to judge but Canelo.

 

[RedC]

Rounds too close, I will just give to Canelo
Rd 5
48-47 Crawford

 

[TheGrat1]

There was a period of about 12 seconds where Canelo just stood still while Bud jabbed him. Neither is getting through clean much but Bud is busier. Skipper scoring all 4 rounds for Crawford seems wild to me.

Round 5: Crawford
Alvarez: 47
Crawford 49

 

[paolo11]

Crawford found 6 for sure

 

[RedC]

Round 6
58-56 Crawford

 

[TheGrat1]

Crawford is putting on an out-fighting showcase. Actually landing more cleanly now.

Round 6: Crawford
Alvarez: 56
Crawford: 59

 

[paolo11]

Round 7 very close again but Canelo?

 

[RedC]

Round 7
68-65 Crawford

 

[TheGrat1]

Crawford is just consistently busier.

Round 7: Crawford.
Alvarez: 65
Crawford: 69 (nice)

 

[MastAndo]

I've got Crawford ahead pretty convincingly in this one, 5 rounds to 2 (though a couple could have gone either way). Bud is doing more work and just landing the cleaner shots.

 

[paolo11]

Round 8 Crawford

 

[RedC]

Round 8
78-74 Crawford

 

[TheGrat1]

Alvarez landed cleanly more often. Crawford is counter-hunting when he covers up.

Round 8: Alvarez

Alvarez: 75
Crawford: 78

 

[paolo11]

Crawford heating up!!!

 

[TheGrat1]

I am not sure if I could even call that a headbutt. Canelo punching Crawford moved their heads together.

 

[RedC]

Round 9
88-83 Crawford

 

[paolo11]

Crawford's defense is superb round 9 goes to him

 

[TheGrat1]

Crawford was absolutely ripping into Canelo at the start of that round.

Round 9: Crawford
Alvarez: 84
Crawford: 88

 

[MaestroMike]

 

[paolo11]

Canelo round 10 however he seems frustrated by Bud's defense

 

[RedC]

Round 10
98-92 Crawford

 

[TheGrat1]

That was the closest round since round 1. Crawford edged him with the work at the end.

Round 10: Crawford
Alvarez: 93
Crawford: 98

 

[MastAndo]

Max Kellerman definitely has a picture of Canelo in his locker.

 

[RedC]

Round 11
108-101 Crawford
