Crawford vs Khan

[Baofeng]

Terrence Crawford vs Amir Khan on April 20
Venue: Madison Square Garden (MSG)

Crawford will defend this WBO 147 lbs title against Khan. It's a good match up but Crawford has the tools to beat Amir though. Amir Khan is a great fighter, but I think he is no longer in his prime and Terrence is riding high and considered to be the pound for pound best fighter right now. So I will go on Crawford here, maybe 10 rounds or less.

This is something that you really appreciate with Khan though, he has the balls to face very tough opponents. And for those who are not aware of, he was brutally knock out by Canelo Alvarez, yes the same Canelo who faced triple G.

He has a china chin and once Crawford hit that, it will easily break. I don't know that the odds are, but Crawford will be too much for Amir and he might end up being KO again.

Agree!

China chin yeah with that glass jaw, his only option is to outbox Crawford, which is very difficult.
I was an Amir fan in his prime and I hate to admit that he might got badly hurt again.

[Sanitough]

Crawford as well, Khan is a good fighter but I like how Crawford fight, and I guess he is the favorites here.
The only fight I watched was when Maidana beating Khan in their match, and I say this guy is soft.

[alisafidel58]

I used to love Khan and I thought that he was going to be like Manny when it comes to speed and firepower that faded away easily. I will go for Crawford in this fight. It will only take 5-7 rounds before Khan will be knockout.

He can out box him in the first couple of rounds but when Crawford adjusted to his style, sooner or later he will be caught by that upper cut.

Yeah, he did had China chin, lol, and who ever touch that chin then it's lights out.

Obviously, Terrence Crawford will be the favorite here. For me, Amir Khan skills is going down in the last couple of years and that fight against Alvarez has done so much damaged in him. Thanks for sharing the early odds, but I will skipped this one. Will probably go on my favorite betting place, my local barber shop.  .

I used to love Khan and I thought that he was going to be like Manny when it comes to speed and firepower that faded away easily. I will go for Crawford in this fight. It will only take 5-7 rounds before Khan will be knockout.

They used to be so close, specially when both are under Freddie Roach. But they went on separate ways. There were reports that Amir Khan is interested on fighting Manny Pacquiao, the plan didn't push through.

Crawford as well, Khan is a good fighter but I like how Crawford fight, and I guess he is the favorites here.
The only fight I watched was when Maidana beating Khan in their match, and I say this guy is soft.

I advise you to watch Khan vs Prescott. You will know how Khan was exposed as having a weak chin.  . He was KO in under a minute, if I'm not mistaken. When he was still under Roach, they did try to his something to at least "strengthen" his chin, by giving him some neck exercise with weights, but that didn't help out.

This is suicide for Amir. He got the courage but i think he got no tools to dethroned Crawford. He is in here for the money again. Only if he land that money fight with Pacman, i think he is long gone from the boxing scene. That might be his biggest paycheck and this fight won't happen anymore.

I agree. Amir thinks he can still mess around, his best days are over, Crawford in on a different level, and Amir Khan is just a B-level fighter, and that weakness of his can't be overcome in training. He was born with China chin, simply as that.

He should fight Kell Brook instead, his local rival and make a lot of money and then retire. Brook is also ballsy, fought GGG, broken his orbital bone, fought Errol Spence and was KO in round 11 to take his IBF belt.

This is Amir response when asked:

“This fight against Crawford might be a bit less money than the fight versus Brook, but I’m doing it for my legacy and the chance to become world champion again.

So he still wanted to be a champion that's why he chooses Crawford over Brook, and we all know that his chances are very slim. But, I do believed that these two bitter rivals will clash in an all-English match in Wembly stadium wherein the capacity is 90,000 I believed. I agree that we would take it when he is about to retire and take that final pay.

[YuginKadoya]

I really like Amir Khan to win this and I surely am a fan of Amir Khan but looking at Crawford massive build and reach against Khan I really think that there is an advantage with Crawford in this fight but I can not say for sure because of Khan's punching speed might manage in the fight, But again the punching power of Crawford is a devastation for khan so he needs to be very careful with it, But I will still bet for Amir Khan.

Obviously Crawford is the favorite with his perfect stats(34 WINs) but on the other side Amir Khan is great boxer as well although he is not like what he was some years ago.
Related to betting, spending small amount on Khan seems worth enough as we have high odds although the chance is small but anything may happen on the ring so I think I'll place few bucks on Khan.

[mich]

I reckon the undefeated champ Crawford here gets the victory by way of stoppage.
Khan is a big named fighter in his native country and if Crawford looks impressive in winning he will get bigger fights like Pacquaio or Spence.
If Khan wins media might consider it the biggest upset in many years.

I just hope we will see the real fight here and not just another Mayweather-Pacquiao showdown. But with Amir's determination to become the world champion, we might see a better fight here. Maybe, I will bet on Khan, good profit in case he showed his true power in the ring and showed what he's got.

I don't think Khan is a great fighter, yes he is a good fighter but not great. I saw him fight but it's not that explosive as Crawford. In this fight I would go for Crawford for 7-9 rounds.

Do actually agree on these points given or written out on this article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/brianmazique/2019/04/04/terence-crawford-vs-amir-khan-is-a-gross-mismatch-in-every-way-but-one/#23b9642a7d8e

Its mismatch on any angle yet the only edge that Khan have is its hands speed but it wouldnt be enough.

Thanks for the link, I agree, Crawford is going to be a very difficult fight for Amir Khan. Amir is like good in the early round because he was fresh so that he can throw fast combinations. But for me, he doesn't have a strong mindset and don't know how to adjust because he thinks he can over power his opponent with his speed. But when he is caught, and because of his weak chin, he doesn't have that mentality anymore, like Victor Ortiz. So yes it could be a mismatch, and the betting public knows that. Just look at the odds.

Sounds like a good idea. If I place a bet $10 to Amir Khan according to current odds now at +883 for Khan, payout will be $98.30
But looking at his boxing record an upset is very unlikely to happen. He last fought Samuel Vargas and won via UD last September 8, 2018. His last taste of a KO was last April 21, 2018 over Phil Lo Greco. Out of his last 6 winning fights, 5 of them are UD and 1 through TKO. If this fight will go through distance, I guess Crawford has the edge. 5 out of 6 of the last fights of Crawford we're TKO or KO.

If someone wanted to go for the underdogs, then Khan is a 'live' underdog here.

Just a small amounts wouldn't hurt for gamblers, so most probably that odds can chance though once the fight gets closer. But I will go with the sentiments here, Crawford is riding on a momentum and on his on peak as others have stress while Khan is on the downward, nothing against him, but they are not in the same level.

I reckon the undefeated champ Crawford here gets the victory by way of stoppage.

If Khan wins media might consider it the biggest upset in many years.

If Crawford wins impressively, then Crawford vs Spence could happen. But it's going to be difficult to negotiate as both have different managers who hate's each other, Crawford - Bob Arum while Spence is under Al Haymon. It's gonna be like Pacquiao and Mayweather again, it took years before they can finally agreed to fight.
