Khan vs Crawford

Khan vs Crawford: A quick glance at the bookies’ odds tells you everything you need to know about the scale of the task facing Amir Khan against Terence Crawford on Saturday night. Khan is priced as a huge outsider at odds varying from 12-1 to 25-1. It’s easy to see why and while Khan has been in decline for the last four years, Crawford has been on the rise.Khan’s last fine display against a creditable opponent was Devon Alexander in December 2014 and that performance suggested he had another world title in him. But he was sloppy in his next fight against Chris Algieri before being brutally knocked out by Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez in May 2016. Madison Square Gardenin pääottelussa ovat vastakkain maailman paras välisarjan ottelija Terence “Bud” Crawford ja sarjan entinen hallitsija Amir “King Khan” Khan. Ottelun mainosarvo on siis valtava ja halli tuleekin olemaan kokolailla täpötäynnä ottelun alkaessa. Promoottori Bob Arum onkin tehnyt valtavan hyvää työtä tapahtuman järjestelyissä.
