Crawford vs. Canelo: An Expert Analysis for an Epic Clash<\/h2>\n\nTerence Crawford moves up two weight classes on Saturday to challenge Canelo \u00c1lvarez for the undisputed super middleweight championship. The fight, which promises to be a milestone in boxing history, will be broadcast on Netflix at 9 p.m. ET.\n\nCrawford, with an impeccable record of 41-0 and 31 KOs, has conquered titles in four different divisions and was undisputed champion in super lightweight and welterweight. If he manages to beat Canelo, he will become the first boxer to unify the four major belts in three different categories.\n\nCanelo (63-2-2, 39 KOs) conquered the undisputed 168-pound championship by defeating Caleb Plant by TKO in the eleventh round in November 2021. He successfully defended his title on four occasions before the IBF stripped him for not facing the mandatory challenger, William Scull. Canelo regained the championship by defeating Scull in May.\n\nWill Crawford be able to succeed in a higher division? Will he maintain his speed and power to surprise the favorite Canelo? Or, will Canelo be the first to defeat Crawford, even achieving a knockout?\n\nTo analyze this anticipated match, we asked boxers, boxing experts, and trainers to share their perspectives on the possible development of the fight and predict a winner.\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\nAmir Khan, former super lightweight champion; lost against Canelo and Crawford<\/strong>\n\n\n
\n

Canelo’s power is devastating, and with the combination of punches he throws, he’s still much faster than people think. He’s not a fighter who starts fast, but he’s a powerful fighter.<\/p>\n\nAmir Khan<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nKhan, the only one who has shared the ring with both boxers, considers it a difficult fight to predict. He sees Crawford with an advantage for being the fresher fighter, but believes that Canelo will have to resort to his aggressive style to be successful.\n\nRay Beltran, former lightweight champion; lost against Crawford<\/strong>\n\n\n

\n

Crawford must keep his distance, be smart and not get involved with Canelo, as he is obviously too big for him. Crawford must be smart, and I think that will give him the victory by decision.<\/p>\n\nRay Beltran<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nBeltran highlights Crawford’s intelligence and his ability to adapt to weight, suggesting that he can win by points if he avoids direct exchange with Canelo.\n\n\n

Darrelle Valsaint, welterweight, Canelo’s main sparring partner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\nValsaint, who has had the opportunity to train with Canelo, believes that Canelo should be true to his style and be patient. For Crawford, he suggests studying Canelo’s previous fights and replicating strategies to get into the distance and unbalance him.\n\nEdgar Berlanga Sr., manager and trainer of Edgar Berlanga, who lost against Canelo<\/strong>\n\n\n

\n

Crawford doesn’t have the power to knock out Canelo. He must use angles and good defense, counter-punching every time Canelo opens up.<\/p>\n\nEdgar Berlanga Sr.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nMr. Berlanga believes that Crawford can win by decision if he uses angles, defense, and counterattacks. For Canelo, he recommends shortening the distance, attacking the body, and seeking the knockout.\n\nHolly Holm, former champion, International Boxing Hall of Fame member<\/strong>\n\nHolm highlights Crawford’s intelligence and his ability to switch stances, but also mentions Canelo’s size advantage. She believes Canelo will seek the knockout, while Crawford will need to use his skill and strategy.\n\nAdditional Predictions:<\/strong>\n\nMike Tyson: Crawford by decision.\n\nTimothy Bradley Jr.: Crawford by decision.\n\nShawn Porter: Crawford by decision.\n\nChristy Martin: Crawford by decision.\n\nMichael J. Fox: Crawford by KO in the eighth round.\n\nRosie Perez: Crawford.\n\nSam Rockwell: Crawford by points.\n\nDamian Lillard: Crawford.\n\nJohn Leguizamo: Canelo.\n\nAnthony Ramos: Canelo.\n\nRamon Rodriguez: Crawford by decision.\n\nNelson Lee: Canelo.\n\nMichael Mosley: Canelo.\n\nSaid Taghmaoui: Crawford.\n\nCris Cyborg: Difficult, possibly Canelo by points.\n\nBig E: Crawford by decision.\n\nDamian Priest: Canelo by split decision.\n\nLola Vice: Canelo by KO.\n\nGrayson Waller: Crawford by KO in the tenth round.\n\nThe fight between Canelo and Crawford promises to be an unforgettable event, with both boxers seeking to leave their mark on boxing history.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
