Potential Keys to Victory & What Could Make a Difference

• Canelo’s Pressure + Body Work: If he can land his body shots early, cut off ring nicely, force Crawford to fight at closer range, that could slow Crawford down.
  
  

• Crawford's Speed, Adaptation & Footwork: Using footwork to neutralize Canelo’s pressure, switching stance, staying mobile, avoiding being trapped or pinned.
  
  

• Stamina & Adjustment: Moving up in weight might affect Crawford’s stamina; Canelo has more fights and rounds in bigger-weight fights, which might give him an edge late in the fight.
  
  

• Mental Game / Ring IQ: Crawford is known for reading fights and making mid-fight adjustments. Canelo’s experience and counter-strategy will be tested.

Risks & Weaknesses

• For Crawford: Size difference could become cumulative, especially in later rounds. He may lose some speed moving up. Also, punching power generally goes down a weight class jump unless well managed.
  
  

• For Canelo: If he starts too slow or underestimates Crawford’s speed, he could get caught in combinations. Also, defensive lapses (especially at range) might be exploited.

What Makes This Fight Special

• A rare fight where two of the modern greats meet at high stakes, both with a lot on the line.

• Crawford's perfect record vs. Canelo’s legacy and undisputed status make it appealing for both hardcore fans and casuals.

• The fight being in Las Vegas, massive crowd (including many Mexican fans), streaming online — big global reach.

If I had to pick: Canelo by decision seems to be the most likely outcome, maybe around 12 rounds or more. But there’s enough in Crawford’s skillset and punch power that a surprise can’t be ruled out.
