Stephen Fulton Reveals Bold Pick

As fight week begins, Canelo is the betting favourite and will be eager to retain his titles. Crawford is moving up to 168lbs for the first time, chasing legacy as a three-division undisputed champion and four-division lineal champion.

Discussing the fight with Fight Hub TV, Fulton said: “I’ve always went with Crawford this fight. It’s nothing against Canelo, ‘cause Canelo is a hell of a fighter. I don’t know how he is as a person. I don’t know how neither of them are as a person, but I like Crawford for challenging himself.

“That’s the type of things I do and I’ve done, so I like anybody that’s willing to challenge themselves. Whether it’s money or not, you still have the heart to go in there and challenge the bigger guy, so.”

Fulton added: “I think if Crawford uses his boxing ability, then it’d be a better fight for him. If Crawford wins, then it makes his resume 10 times better.”
