Former two-weight world champion Zab Judah has offered his prediction for a potential rematch between Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez.
‘Bud’ Crawford entered the boxing history books once again last Saturday night as he defeated Mexican icon Canelo at a sold out Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas to capture the undisputed super-middleweight world championship.
The 37-year-old from Omaha put on an impressive display as the three judges at ringside scored the bout 115-113, 115-113 and 116-112 all in favour of Crawford who became the first male fighter in the history of the sport to win an undisputed championship in three weight classes.
There is already speculation growing about a potential rematch between the duo taking place next and one man who has had his say on this is former undisputed welterweight champion Judah.
Speaking to ESNEWS, Judah said Canelo has no option other than push to ‘run it back,’ although he makes no mistake in backing ‘Bud’ to get the job done once again.
“Canelo is a tough, solid Mexican and the Mexican eyes, from all my Mexican homies that I know, they all say they got to run that back, you got to run that back, let’s run it back.
“[The rematch goes] the same way, he [Crawford] maybe this time stops Canelo, you know what I’m saying? But as a solid tough guy in that position, run it back.”
There have been rumours circulating about both men finally calling time on their respective professional careers following their historic battle, but it appears they have both confirmed that they will fight on into the future.
