There\u2019s no way it was that close. Thank God he [Crawford] dominated because otherwise we might be here talking a whole different thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen whether <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.co.uk\/boxing\/story\/_\/id\/46247298\/after-defeating-canelo-boxing-crawford-best-fighter-generation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Crawford<\/a> will retire from the sport or not following this outstanding win, although the 37-year-old seems keen on fighting again. He has suggested that he could make the move down to middleweight next in a bid to become a six-weight world champion.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.secondsout.com\/news\/canelo-on-retirement-after-crawford-defeat\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">What\u2019s next for Canelo remains to be seen. The 67-fight superstar also said that his campaign is not over, however if a rematch doesn\u2019t happen then many fans will wonder what others fight makes sense.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Trainer and analyst Teddy Atlas has criticised the judges that were tasked with scoring the historic showdown between&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":145152,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-145151","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-boxing","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145151","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=145151"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145151\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/145152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=145151"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=145151"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=145151"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
