Crawford vs Khan Predictions, Analysis, and Betting Odds

The WBO welterweight world champion Terence Crawford will defend his title against the British fighter Amir Khan at MSG in New York on April 20. Crawford vs Khan predictions favour Crawford to make another successful defense, with an expected knockout at rounds 5-8.

Amir Khan has side-stepped the long awaited Kell Brook fight in favour of challenging one of the best world fighters Terence Crawford. Crawford, 31, remains unbeaten in 34 fights. He will enter the bout as an overwhelming favourite with 1/10 odds at Bet365 Sportsbook. On the other hand, Amir Khan, the former three-weight world champion, is the clear underdog (11/2).

Crawford has been avoided for the most of his pro career. He is very dangerous, slick and quick. Therefore, we have to give Khan a credit for traveling to the Madison Square Garden to fight Crawford. However, online betting sites in the United Kingdom predict Crawford vs Khan will inevitably end by a knockout for Crawford.

Khan Lost Three Big Fights in last Eight Years

Amir Khan (33-4, 20 KOs) is well aware that he is taking on a very difficult fight. He said to the Independent, “I know this is a dangerous fight if I switch off I will get hurt – but I can win this fight.” There is no doubt that Khan is a very good boxer and a fast puncher, but in the last eight years, he failed to win any of his big fights.

Since 2011, Khan challenged three of the best and lost to all of them. He lost to Danny Garcia, Lamont Peterson and Saul Canelo Alvarez. After a break for almost two years, he came back to win twice in 2018 against Phil Lo Greco and Samuel Vargas. Should Khan win against Crawford, it will be the biggest upset of the year.

Crawford Won the WBO against Jeff Horn

Terence Crawford (34-0, 25 KOs) reigned as the undisputed champion in the light-welterweight division. He moved up to 147 pounds last year to win the WBO title against the Australian Jeff Horn. Despite that, Crawford missed fighting against world best fighters; instead, he fought against lesser guys like Felix Diaz, Julius Indongo, Viktor Postol and John Molina. Therefore, Crawford vs Khan predictions will always give a chance for Khan to pull off an upset.

Khan to be Knocked out between 5-8 Rounds

Online sportsbook news in the United Kingdom reported that many analysts have criticized Crawford for taking on such an easy fight. They even expect it to end up one-sided. Crawford fights out of a southpaw stance, possesses good speed and brings excellent power. Whereas, Khan is somehow slow, and he has been knocked out many times so far.
