Alvarez vs Crawford prediction

A difficult call to make and that is exactly how it should be when a fight of this size happens.

Dmitry Bivol and Floyd Mayweather have provided examples on how to beat Canelo, but we are yet to see anyone come close to getting the nod over Crawford.

Despite his unbeaten record, there was just enough in his last fight, a points win over Israil Madrimov, to suggest that Crawford could be slowing down due to age and climbing through the weights.

Canelo will have been given confidence after watching the Madrimov fight and if he applies a similar approach using superior skills and strength, then should be enough to see him take a points verdict in a fight where Crawford will also emerge with credit.

Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford form and history

Pass the popcorn, and crack open a drink of choice - this has promised fireworks for the best part of a generation, and it seems unlikely it won't deliver in the ring.

On one hand, you have Canelo - arguably the face of international boxing beyond the heavyweight division, a superstar whose appeal stretches around the globe.

On the other, you have Crawford - a four-weight world champion, typically considered one of the most dangerous fighters of the modern era with an unbeaten record.

Something has to give in Las Vegas. Either the Mexican's mystique is handed a third defeat or the American walks away with the first zero of his career on canvas.

The markets favour Alvarez, and why not? Much like Naoya Inoue and his battleground home of Japan, the star has turned Nevada into a safe seat for his performances.

But don't come in here expecting a walkover. Plenty think the weight and the size will be too much for 'Bud' to handle - but the man is a born competitor in rich form himself.
