Terence Crawford is one of the best pound-for-pound boxers and is currently undefeated. He won all 38 career bouts. Moreover, his last decision victory came back in 2016, and since then he has finished every single match. 

On the other hand, David Avanesyan hasn’t lost a match since 2018. Egidijus Kavaliauskas was the last one to defeat Avanesyan. The latter rebounded by winning back-to-back six matches and is coming off a first-round TKO victory against Oskari Metz. 

Both Crawford and Avanesyan seem to be in great form. But, Crawford is the current favorite to win this upcoming bout. So, will he be able to retain his title or will Avanesyan pull off an upset?
