CANELO ALVAREZ VS TERENCE CRAWFORD - THE BOXING WORLD PREDICTS

The big one is nearly here.

Two of the greatest fighters of this generation going toe-to-toe in Sin City in their bid to go down in the history books as one of the sports greats. 

Mexico’s four-weight world champion and the current undisputed super-middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez taking on America’s four-weight world champion and two-weight undisputed world champion Terence Crawford. 

It’s a fight that has split the boxing world in half when it comes to predictions. 

Many believe that Canelo’s size will be too much for Crawford but then many believe Crawford’s boxing prowess will be too much for Canelo. 

Let’s be honest, no one has a Scooby Doo what’s going to happen and if someone who isn’t affiliated with either fighter claims they’re more than 70% sure on the winner, they’re a liar.
