Fundora Reveals His Pick for Canelo vs Crawford

In a media scrum, Fundora was asked if he favours Canelo or Crawford for September 13: “Canelo,” said Fundora without hesitation.

Fundora was then asked what the most significant part of that matchup was: “That he’s comfortable at 168, you know, that he’s been fighting there. He went to collect all the belts at that weight class. Of course, Crawford has a chance; he has a big chance, being one of the pound-for-pound fighters of the world. But it’s just…the advantage of being there first. You know what to expect in that weight class.

“Crawford’s coming off a 154 fight that he fought last year, so I really don’t consider him even a 154. He’s been fighting at 147 for a while. He had that one fight at 154, and then he stopped fighting for a year again. Of course, he’s probably been training, a high-class fighter. But to be comfortable at 168, you’re gonna have to do some fights in there.

“Going in there fighting the undisputed champion is gonna take a toll.”
