This Saturday, Saúl Álvarez returns to action against American fighter Terence Crawford at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. Just hours ahead of the bout, artificial intelligence has already forecast the likely winner.

According to Copilot’s analytical model, the favorite is Canelo Álvarez, who has proven experience at super middleweight (168 lbs). By contrast, Crawford will have to step up two divisions from his usual weight.
