The boxing world turns its eyes to Las Vegas this weekend as Saul “Canelo” Alvarez defends his WBC, WBA, WBO and IBF super middleweight belts against undefeated American Terence Crawford.

However, Alvarez’s power record and Crawford’s aggressive style mean plenty of punters are backing a stoppage.

Fight Analysis: Power, Pace, and Punches

  • Alvarez: All six of his recent bouts have gone the full 12 rounds, but with 39 KOs in 67 fights, he has the firepower to finish Crawford late. Odds: 13/2 KO in R11–12.
  • Crawford: Known for explosive early bursts, he’s only gone the distance in two of his last eight. Bookmakers price him at 8/1 to score a knockout in rounds 7–10.
  • Punch Stats Specials: Bet365 also offer unique prop bets, including 7/4 for Alvarez to land over 200 punches, and 8/13 for Alvarez to land the most power shots.

Crawford seemingly has the disadvantage when fighting in the super middleweight division as it’s not his preferred division, but on the other hand Crawford is unbeaten in his fighting career.

What the expert says...
Canelo’s experience at super middleweight is a big factor. Crawford’s unbeaten record and fast starts make him dangerous, but giving away two weight classes is a tough ask in Vegas.
