I will be in Vegas for this fight. Alot of people are saying the weight will be too much for TC. I say he will be physically and mentally ready come fight night.
Let's go Champ!

As much as I hate to say it Canelo is to big. He will ko Crawford late. Probably 10th round

What sport do you not follow on social media?

I bet you are counting the days when you can bring us news from USA Pickleball. Winking

They said the same thing about Pacquiao when he moved up to fight Oscar De La Hoya. Pac Man dominated him and sent him into retirement.

A few years ago Crawford might have had issues but Canelo is now up there in age as well. I see Bud winning much the same way Mayweather did.

How much of a weight difference would there even be?

Also, this is clearly a HUGE money grab for both fighters, smart move.

Next is a "exhibition" fight for 20 million.

Been a good long while since we had a fight here in Vegas with this much attention. Concerned about Bud moving up that much weight. But he always finds a way to get it done

I think this is a hellua interesting fight. Both top notch at their trade and both maybe a bit past their absolute prime, but at 35 and 37 they both still have plenty left in the tank.

When Canelo fought Mayweather a long time ago, his hands were plenty fast but his feet were not quick enough to corral him, and I suspect it "could be" the same thing tonight.

I think its critical that Bud gets some respect early and lets Canelo know that he is capable of dinging him, if not, Canelo will try to be all over him.

I'm really hoping Bud can bring it on home, and I hope I'm wrong, but would not be surprised to see Canelo get him in the 8th round or so. Hope I'm wrong.

As you say, moving up to fight 2 weight classes against a champion at his natural fighting weight is the ultimate test of a champion that moves up in weight.

Any information on how the fight is going

Don't think its gonna happen to 10-10:30ish or so our time. Kevin Iole always does a round by round description of how the previous round went. You can probably find him on X (Twitter).

I freaked out because I saw “Crawford” name 4 rounds in - thought I missed half the fight!

Legacy kind of fight for both guys.

Obviously we are all on Team Crawford. I think Bud has the tactical skill to win. I think he is going to win.
