No rehydration clause.

What does that mean exactly?

They weigh in how many hours before the fight?

Crawford is incredible. He was just better in just about everything.  Congrats to the champ!

It means that a boxer can gain as much weight as they can after the weigh-in.  Weigh-in is a day before the bout.

I picked Canelo to win but was happy to see Bud perform so well.

I picked Bud to win. Mainly because Canelo has been fighting bored. He wasn't hungry for the knockout,  couldn't summon the energy to cut off the ring, didn't force the fight etc... he just fought very uninspired for a few years now, burnout.

My only hesitation was the weight and how it would affect Bud, but it turned out to be a non issue.

Canelo got 150m Bud 50m how is that right.

It didn't really live up to expectations, did it. Canelo looked powerful, and you could see his gameplan early on, but he just had no urgency. As you say, it was uninspired. Crawford boxed well but he was just a little too cautious, IMO. It wasn't quite the dominant boxing masterclass one would have hoped for. He could have taken more risks and put a bit of a beating on Canelo in those last few rounds.
