Regis Prograis backs Canelo Alvarez to defeat Terence Crawford

“I’m going Canelo. It’s great big man against great little man. Usually the great big man usually wins,” said Regis Prograis to Fighthype, picking Canelo Alvarez to defeat Terence Crawford. “The same thing with Mel [Jermell Charlo].”

“Skill-wise, Crawford is great. Historically, you can put him in as one of the greatest fighters ever,” said Prograis. “But with that size difference. When Mel went up when they were facing off, Mel was looking big. He was looking bigger than Canelo. They were like, ‘Damn, Mel looks big.’ On fight night, you could see the difference.”
