The Breakdown: Terence Crawford Versus Amir Khan

If these two fighters were race cars, they’d be close in specifications and horsepower with the difference being one is driven by a NASCAR champion (Crawford) and the other a skilled weekend racer (Khan) who has never qualified for the circuit. Bud has no stylistic weaknesses and, as Bruce Lee said, he’s like water capable of forming and adjusting to whatever he’s confronted with. Crawford can do everything a fighter can be asked to do in a boxing ring. His fundamentals are very good, he knows what he is good at, and above all he has a great boxing mind. This leads him to know what punch or punches to throw at the exact right time. And if that scenario changes, he does too—he feints, he sticks, he probes, he pivots, he tantalizes and baits, and he can fight orthodox or equally effectively as a southpaw.

Good analysis, amigo!! :TU:

I expect Khan to roar off the starting line to an early lead but Bud will run him down before too long.

Yeah, Crawford knows Khan can only keep up the speed for 4-5 rounds. As soon as Khan takes his foot off the gas, Crawford is going to make short work of him with a highlight reel KO.
