Terenka Crawford still denies that the only goal he went to 168 to Canelo Alvarez to get a immense, unregistered payment on September 13. He says that he goes up two weight classes from 154 to his “Legacy Fight”, which sounds like gibberish.

Legacy DoubleTalk

This is only one -time for Crawford and has nothing to do with the legacy. He goes to one fight with Canelo at the age of 168, and then returns to 154 or retires. In this case “Heritage ”is simply a code Because “I’m going up to get a payment day.”

If Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) was stern about his legacy, he would raise by 168, defeating the best pretenders to fight Canelo. He would not skip the line like now, jumping two divisions straight into the fight for the title of world champion with Alvarez. It is so unfair. This should not happen if the box was regulated.

Crawford allows you to take a shortcut to build a pseudo-League, and this is not original. In other sports you have to get the way to a great game. You don’t jump straight to the finals or to Super Bowl without the season. What Crawford did at 154, 147, 140 and 135 did not give him the right to challenge Canelo for his three titles of super medium weight.

Unjustified at 168

Nobody would have a problem with raising Crawford and the fight for the world championship title if he worked on the progress of defeating the best rivals. If he started and defeated guy No. 1, it would show that he earns a fight, not just money -hungry. Turki Alalshikh would tell Crawford that he must beat the two or three best guys aged 168 to fight Canelo.

The problem with the fact that Crawford would lose with all the best pretenders. He would not defeat Oslyys Iglesias, Christian Mbilli or Diego Pacco. These fighters knocked down Crawford chips, leaving it in broken pieces on the canvas.

“What can they say that I enter into two weight classes? If Canelo is undisputed again [by defeating IBF champion William Scull on May 3rd]And I beat Canelo, could they say? They would find something, but what could they really say? “Said Crawford to Cigar conversation About the desire to silence your critics, moving around two divisions, to defeat Canelo Alvarez at the age of 168 and take his four titles.

“So this is a heritage for me. Many people say: “He is mounted. He looks at money. I’m trying to pay. I have been receiving money for years and I am not stupid with my money as you can see. I don’t buy Ferraris or Lamborghini, I walk with 100 people around me and I got all this jewelry, “said Crawford.

The WBC master of medium weight Carlos Adames, 24-1, defended his title belt on Saturday before 21-0 Hamzah Sheeraz in Saudi Arabia. The fight was scheduled for 12 championship rounds. The first was a process for every warrior, because both men were strategically patient. The higher Sheeraz was able to keep his man at a distance in the second. Adames tried to get to his man in the third. Sheeraz still did a good job, keeping his man’s range in the fourth.

Until the fifth it was worth wondering how long Sheeraz can consistently keep a distance from Adames, because the fight was scheduled for a full 12 rounds. Adames could finally get to his man in the sixth. Did Sheeraz leisurely down or did he just remove the round? Adames kept the pressure in seventh place. Adames caught his man in eighth place. Sheeraz landed well. Then he returned to the defensive movement.

Things remained close to ninth place. Together with the upcoming rounds of the championship, it could still be everyone’s fight. The tenth was intriguing because Sheeraz was able to keep Adamas on their reach. Sheeraz fought closely in eleventh. It may not be an exhilarating match, but it was definitely a high level. They were professionals conducting their trade and fascinating it was that the fight was developing. The twelfth and last round recorded a rather tempered performance of Sheeraz, which may not work in his favor.

After all that was said and made, the fight was recognized as the division by judges by the results 115-114, 118-110 and 114-114.

“Recognition for Parker,” said Lopez. “He is still fighting with a bacon. Regardless of the fact that this is a complex fight. But as a warrior I have to give a bacol props for being slow. He literally got on for the second in the morning, and now he intends to fight in a few hours. “

When Dmitry Biovol performs another swing at Artur Beterbaview in the Headliner, Lopez did not hesitate to ask if he thinks that Bivol may have a chance to turn the tables after abandoning a close decision about Beterbaiew in October.

“No, no, I don’t think,” said Lopez. “I think it can even be a slow knockout – I think the 10th round. I think they understand each other a little better. The only way this type went a bit for Bivol is that he is tranquil with a powerful, speedy pace early. “

Lopez, who recently fought in June, in the disappointing decision to win on Steve Claggett, is theoretically in a queue to face Arnold Barboza Jnr, who gave Jacek Cattteral in Manchester in England, last Saturday in a free transient fight for the title, which basically served as an eliminator.
