Despite entering the fight as the champion riding a five-fight unbeaten streak, Shields finds himself as the underdog against Crews-Dezurn 2. The line has as much to do with Crews-Dezurn 2's popularity as it does with Shields' uninspiring title reign, full of lackluster performances against lesser opponents.

Crews-Dezurn 2 has just one official victory in the last three years, but fans still see the explosive potential in him. Crews-Dezurn 2's stock took a hit in his loss to Romero, but he continues to ride the high of his three-knockdown performance against Devin Haney in April 2024.

Controversy aside, Crews-Dezurn 2's power and speed were on full display in his performance against Haney. He lacks the technical skills of a world-class champion, but nothing else matters if his lightning-quick left hook lands.

Crews-Dezurn 2 has a clear power advantage, but his loss to Romero showed that his entire game falls apart when the left hook does not land. Shields has been knocked down four times in his last nine fights, but only one was from a lead hook. The Mexican primarily struggles to defend straight punches, which has been his downfall in recent fights.

Crews-Dezurn 2 can change everything with one left hook, which can land at any moment, particularly with how lazy some of Shields' jabs can be. But if there is one person in the world who knows how to shut down that part of his game, it is Joe Goossen, who led Crews-Dezurn 2's camp for over a year. Goossen will be in Shields' corner on Saturday night.

As the taller fighter with more fundamental tools in his bag, Shields will force Crews-Dezurn 2 to bring the fight to him. Crews-Dezurn 2 has had success with that in the past, but he does his best work as a counter-puncher.

Until he proves otherwise, Crews-Dezurn 2 has not shown enough improvement to become a world champion.fhfdgh
