Former Crawford Opponent Jeff Horn Predicts Possible Stoppage

Whoever you’re backing in Canelo vs Crawford, excitement is building for this superfight. Opinions differ on how it could play out, and former Crawford opponent Jeff Horn has weighed in. Asked if he feels Crawford can stop Canelo, Horn said:

“Possibly, yeah. Sure. He’s got super accurate shots, and if he’s able to weather the storm early from Canelo, if that’s what Canelo’s strategy is, that could tire him out.

“And that could allow a window for Terence Crawford to start seeing if he’s able to pick the holes and land the good shots; he could certainly tire Canelo out and stop him later in the fight. It’s definitely possible,” said Horn.
