  • Odds show slight variations across sportsbooks, with Crawford’s chances improving
  • New prop betting markets reveal fight expected to go the distance

More major sportsbooks have jumped into the action for the Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford superfight. DraftKings, BetMGM & Caesars are now offering their own betting lines alongside FanDuel’s earlier release.

The September 13 showdown continues to generate buzz across the betting landscape, and the price differences between books are giving sharp bettors something to think about.

Caneno vs Crawford Odds Comparison Across Sportsbooks

SportsbookCanelo AlvarezTerence Crawford
FanDuel-205+158
Caesars-200+150
DraftKings-195+155
BetMGM-190+160

The numbers tell an interesting story. BetMGM is offering the best price on Canelo at -190, though that’s from their 3-way betting market that includes a draw option.

For straight 2-way betting, DraftKings has the best Canelo price at -195, while FanDuel has him as the biggest favorite at -205. For Crawford backers, BetMGM’s +160 gives slightly better value than Caesars’ +150, but again, that’s with the draw factored in.

These small differences might not seem like much, but for serious bettors putting down real money, shopping around could save them some cash or boost their potential payout.

Canelo vs Crawford Prop Betting Markets Emerge

FanDuel has rolled out the most extensive prop betting menu so far, and the numbers paint a clear picture of how oddsmakers see this fight playing out.

The “Will the fight go the distance?” market heavily favors YES at -340, meaning the books expect these two to trade leather for all 12 rounds. That’s not surprising given both fighters’ defensive skills and Crawford’s tendency to start slow.

DraftKings backs up this thinking with their total rounds market. Over 10.5 rounds sits at -390, while under 10.5 is way out at +265. The heavy juice on the over tells you everything – they’re expecting this fight to at least reach round 11, if not go the full 12.

Fight Duration MarketsOdds
Fight Goes Distance (FanDuel)-340
Fight Doesn’t Go Distance (FanDuel)+240
Over 10.5 Rounds (DraftKings)-390
Under 10.5 Rounds (DraftKings)+265

Method of victory props show some interesting splits. Canelo by decision sits at +105 – basically even money – while his knockout odds aren’t much longer at +360. Crawford tells a different story: if Bud wins, the books think it’s much more likely by decision (+220) than knockout (+800).

Method of VictoryOdds
Canelo by Decision+105
Canelo by KO/TKO+360

Draw+1400

That split is worth paying attention to. It suggests that if Crawford can crack the code on Canelo’s defense, he’d most likely need to outbox him over 12 rounds to win by decision. But if Crawford does manage to hurt Canelo badly enough to get a stoppage, those +800 knockout odds offer serious value for bettors backing the upset.

Round Betting Reveals Expectations

The round-by-round betting markets show just how unlikely early fireworks are expected to be. Canelo finishing Crawford in Round 1 sits at astronomical +10000 odds, while even a Round 6 finish is priced at +3800.

The grouped round betting is more realistic. Canelo winning in rounds 7-9 gets the shortest odds at +1100, suggesting that’s when his size and power advantages might start wearing down Crawford if it’s going to happen.

Group Round BettingCanelo OddsCrawford Odds
Rounds 1-3+3100+6500
Rounds 4-6+1700+3400
Rounds 7-9+1100+2400
Rounds 10-12+1500+3100

For Crawford, his best knockout window also appears to be rounds 7-9 at +2400 – much longer odds than Canelo’s, but still his best shot if he’s going to pull off a stoppage. After he’s had time to figure out Canelo’s timing, but before the bigger man’s pressure takes its toll.

What the Odds Movement Tells Us

Since our initial coverage, Crawford’s odds have continued to tighten across all three major books. That original -240 opening line for Canelo has steadily shrunk, and we’re now seeing him in the -190 to -205 range.

This movement suggests a few things. Either sharp money is coming in on Crawford, or the betting public is starting to believe in his chances despite the two-division jump. Maybe it’s both.

Crawford’s perfect 41-0 record and his status as boxing’s pound-for-pound king carries weight with bettors. Even at 36, Bud looked sharp in his last outing against Israil Madrimov, showing he can still adapt and solve problems mid-fight.

Canelo’s lackluster showing against William Scull didn’t help his cause either. That fight set CompuBox records for all the wrong reasons, and it reminded everyone that the Mexican star can look ordinary against awkward, defensive opponents.

Verdict on Canelo vs Crawford Odds

With four major sportsbooks now in the mix, bettors have options. For straight 2-way betting, DraftKings offers the best Canelo price at -195, while BetMGM’s 3-way market gives slightly better Crawford odds at +160. Shopping around these small differences can add up for serious bettors.

The prop markets suggest this shapes up as a technical, distance fight where Canelo’s size gives him the edge over 12 rounds. But if Crawford can land something clean and hurt Canelo, those +800 knockout odds offer huge value given how unlikely the books think it is.

As we get closer to September 13, expect more books to release lines and more props to hit the market. This superfight is shaping up to be one of the year’s biggest betting draws, and the early action suggests it might be closer than originally thought.
