Terence Crawford Vs. Amir Khan Live Results, Purses, Odds

Terence Crawford is a big betting favorite when he faces Amir Khan on Saturday night on ESPN PPV. But Khan is adamant that he has a chance to win. And you know what? He’s probably right. He’s got fast hands, he’s a good boxer and he’s never been beaten as a welterweight. Yes, there’s the pesky chin problem that has led to him getting knocked out three times in his career.

But to say he has no chance vs. Khan is incorrect.

“I am confident I can win this fight because he has never fought anyone like me,” Khan said. “I have power, speed, and movement, and he has certainly never fought a welterweight like me. I've grown into my weight. I'm not just another number on Crawford's record.”

Crawford isn’t looking past Khan, even though a lucrative fight vs. fellow welterweight titlist Errol Spence could be on the horizon (though it certainly won’t be an easy bout to make between the two promoters).

 

But there’s a good reason Crawford is such a big favorite. He is, after all, one of the two-best fighters in the world. He’s also still fighting for respect, because he doesn’t feel he gets the credit he deserves for the good fighters he makes looks ordinary when he faces them.

“Sometimes it bothers me, but that just shows how dominant I am,” Crawford said. “When you got undefeated gold medalists and world champions, where before the fight a lot of writers and fans think that they're going to steamroll me or they're too big for me, and this is going to be the toughest fight of my career. After the fight, they say, 'He wasn't that good,' or 'He was a stand-up fighter,' or 'He was slow,' or 'We knew you were going to do this, we just had to hype up the fight.' So they discredit me. When you look at the fighters I've fought, most of them haven't been the same after they've fought me.”
