Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford Betting Tips
Terence Crawford to win by Decision @ 3.20
While Canelo is deservedly the pre-fight favourite, we really like the look of the odds on Crawford to win by Decision (Split, Majority or Unanimous). Unlike Canelo, Crawford has never experienced defeat in the professional world, overcoming every challenge thrown at him. His speed, deceiving power, stamina and accuracy represents a lethal combination, which could see him spring something of a surprise in Sin City.
Either fighter to be knocked down – No @ 1.60
Before a fight of this stature, many casual boxing bettors flock to the markets which look at KOs and knockdowns to occur. Sometimes it can prove fruitful, other times not so much. In this case, we believe the latter is more likely. Neither Canelo or Crawford has been knocked down in their professional careers, which is quite remarkable given the quality of opponent they have each faced. Instead, this contest should be more about pure boxing technique and skill, a real fight for the purist. Expect plenty of quality punches to be landed, but a knockdown may be a stretch too far.
