Ahead of Saturday night’s highly-anticipated bout between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford, Hard Rock Bet received some insight on the matchup from boxing legend Mike Tyson.
In an interview with rapper Fat Joe at a Hard Rock Bet VIP event at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood, Florida, Tyson offered his take on what many expect to be the boxing match of the year:
“Oh, that’s gonna be interesting because I would like to see Crawford do it. I can’t see, listen, on paper he doesn’t stand a chance. It has to be some kind of miracle, something happen, cause he can’t run from Canelo. Canelo is fast, I don’t know, Canelo’s still out. He’s not really out of his peak, he’s still good. He’s not washed up.”
After Fat Joe replied with his own prediction, stating that he believes that Crawford isn’t going to lose, Tyson added:
“I don’t want him [Crawford] to lose.”
