Who Do Celebrities Think Will Win?
Teddy Atlas
Legendary trainer and analyst, Teddy Atlas, has given his prediction for the fight:
“Crawford [wins the fight]. Crawford might be the most instinctive fighter I’ve ever seen. He’s one of the only guys in this era of fighters who creates his own tunes.”
Speaking to ShowTime Sports, Atlas also added, “And one other thing, he’s a freaking junkyard dog.”
Conor Benn
Benn, a man steeped in controversy who hopes to be challenging for these titles one day, has weighed in. This is what he recently said to Behind the Gloves:
“I know me and Spence have had our words, but that aside I think he’s a great fighter, a great talent. He’s accomplished a lot in the sport of boxing. But not being biased, I would lean towards Crawford. I would probably say eighth, ninth, tenth – around then.”
