Promoter Bob Arum says that Crawford’s ability to change the hit of will “befuddle” Canelo Alvarez in September and predicts that his former warrior will defeat the Mexican star.
Posture switch strategy
Arum believes that the change of attitudes is that all cups must defeat Alvarez (62-2-2, 39 KO). If Crawford wins, changing all night, he could be fooled. This is not David Avaneyan or Jeff Horn, which he is going on.
This may require something more than the changing position of Terenca to defeat Canelo, because these things did not work well for the native Nebrask in his last fight with Israil Madrimov. He brightened, switching from Southpaw to the Orthodox. Madrimov repeatedly nailed him with his hands from both positions and looked as if he could not miss this right.
“I like Crawford in this fight. I think he is a better talent, a better athlete, a better boxer and I think he will win this fight,” said promoter Bob Arum to Sean ZittelAnticipating that Terenka Crawford will defeat the WBA, WBC and WBO Super Middle Wwweight Canelo Alvarez, if they fight on September 13.
Arum can be sentimental to Crawford, because he was his child from the beginning of his career, fighting the highest rank by 2021, so that the arum could talk to a warrior who spent 13 years in his company, it seems strange. Crawford was a family with the highest rank and he would probably be with them if he did not go to the Free Agent’s route after the victory over Shawn Porter in 2021. Interestingly, Crawford fought only three times since he left Arum, defeating David Avanes, Errola Spence and Israil Madrimov.
He should have been fighting much more than three times in four years of leaving the highest rank, but this reflects the lack of ambition. This inactivity will turn around and bite Crawford’s ass against Canelo, because you cannot be a diminutive warrior part -time at the age of 38 and expect that you will defeat the warrior of this caliber.
Arum forecast
“After the announcement I felt that Crawford would win. I told him:” It’s a great fight for you. You’ll win this fight. ” I do not think that he would take this kind of weight, “said Arum, when he was asked if he was an additional weight that puts off Terenca, slowing him against Alvarez.
Arum may not have recently followed Crawford, but it looks like it is packed for good feeding of 20 pounds and hit weights. He is still five months to continue the fight before fighting Alvarez in September, and until then it will probably be fine. He no longer looks like a slim, agile warrior, whom he was two years ago, when he took his best career with Errol Spence on July 29, 2023.
“In addition, Crawford has a occasional ability to be indifferent and switching from Southpaw to the Orthodox as the fight goes on. It will be Canelo. Like most fighters, he was not in this kind of opponent. I think that it was that that made it uncomplicated to fight Spence.
Canelo fought many fighters who can change positions in 20 years in which he fought as a professional. This will require much more than Terenka to defeat Canelo with his trick, such as changing attitudes. It worked on Errola Spence, because he lost his game so much from this car disaster in 2019 and it looked like he was not physically or mentally present when he fought Crawford in 2023. Spence operated with 25% capacity.
“A fighter when he trains, he generally trains Southpaw or Orthodox in sparring,” said Arum. “Now, if you fight a guy who goes smoothly with Southpaw to the Orthodox and is as effective as you train for it? It’s tough. You don’t get sparring partners who can do both. They are not around.
“Crawford, because he is a unique type of warrior that others did not see other warriors, and the ability that he must change, the fighters are not used to it. They don’t train to it,” said Arum, who asked who would win in the fight between Crawford and the main Floyd Mayweather Jr. “I think Crawford is a very, very special talent.
“It has nothing to do with his ability as a warrior. Perhaps his ability as a dispute, I can say. But as a warrior he is a special better guy,” said Arum.
Madrimov concerns
Crawford will have to significantly raise his game from the last performance against Israil Madrimov on August 3 last year to beat Canelo, because this fight was essentially a draw. He was aimed at a very good warrior who overtook him and went outside in the first nine rounds before he fell apart. Against Canelo Crawford will face a greater blow that will make him pay if he tries to fight aggressively.
Based on some things that Bud and his trainer, Brian “Bomac” McIntyre, spoke in interviews, focus on Canelo’s boxing, remaining out of reach, and tied him when he is close enough to land their great shots of power.
On February 22, the rematch between the undisputed heavyweight champion, Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol, brought 340k PPV buys worldwide.
The ring reports PAY-PER-View purchase rate for Beterbiv-Bivol 2. Although these numbers may seem reasonable at first glance, they do not reveal what PPV is buying for the USA, probably the largest fight market.
They were thought to be low. You can’t celebrate 340 thousand All over the world, because it ignores the lack of interest of American fans in this event because of a faint headliner. Rematch Beterbiev vs. Bivol was a bad idea.
Tedious bivol
Their first fight was tedious to watch, and the fans who remembered how tedious it was, they were not interested in the second clash four months later. It’s like watching a bad movie and asking to see it again. People don’t want it. Saudis must get a clue and understand that fans are not interested in seeing Beterbaview and Bivol again.
Too few fans want to see these two battles for the third time. Low PPV sums for the event on February 22 inform about everything you need to know. People hate this duel and it’s understandable why. Bivol is so tedious to watch, and Beterbiev has become elderly and ponderous. He can no longer cut off the ring and did not let his hand release, as he used to be when he was younger.
Event organizers must understand the market. If they see that the fight is tedious and has low PPV numbers, configuration of the rematch is not a good idea. Because Bivol’s fighting style is terrible to watch fans for us, it is engaging to match guys like him against youthful killers. 40 -year -old Beterbiev is too free And elderly to chase Mover like Bivol around the ring for 12 rounds.
Bivol should have entered a rematch, fighting with one of the best airy pretenders to heavyweight. He should have been on the card of February 22 of the “Last Cresendo” event, and not to receive a rematch after losing. He was beaten by Beterbavie in their first fight in October last year. Like all beaten, they should go into queue and return to the return, not a revenge that fans do not want to see.
Last Cresendo’s Undercard
Carlos Adams vs. Hamzah Sheeraz
Shakur Stevenson vs. Josh Padley
Zhilei Zhang vs. Agit Kabayel
Ziyad Almaayouf vs. Jonatas Rodrigo Gomes de Oliveira
A kind of fighters with whom Saudis should match a tedious runner, such as Bivol, are guys who can cut off the ring and cross it to oblivion, like David Benavidez or someone with power like David Morrell. 40-year-old Artur Beterbiev has no youthful people to chase Bivol around the ring, and fans do not want to watch these tedious fights.
Promoters Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren still hope to see Mega fighting between former world champions heavyweight Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.
A challenging part is to lure the Fury back to the ring, which will be challenging after it was broken by mentally by the cruiser’s weight “Oleksandr Usyk in December last year. Gilded age Mansion in the style of Vanderbilt.
Even this amount may not be enough to restore Fury to fight Joshua. He could stop $ 200 million, which would be a crazy amount of money for his current level of fight. Tyson is no longer fighting at a high level. It is not a spring chicken and looks closer to 50 than forty.
Both promoters did not give up the capabilities of the Gypsy king versus .. Aj are fighting. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look good. Oleksandr Usyk took something out of fury (34-2-1, 24 Kos) with winners at the back. Tyson entered these fights sounding conceit, as if he could walk on the water, but after Usyk learned twice, he disappeared in retirement.
Mowing millions
“Aj Fury, who knows what the future will bring?” said the promoter Eddie Hearn Boxing DAZN Asked which fight he wants to see, calling Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua All-British Clash
“The same answer. It is a fight that we all wanted to see. We, the British and fighters wanted it, but it is never too overdue. For some reason it did not happen. Who knows if Tyson decides if he is fed up with mowing the lawn, it may happen,” said the promoter Frank Warren in the fight against Fury-Joshua.
Apart from boxing fans in Great Britain, there is not much interest from the world, seeing that these two spoiled British ponderous scales are fighting at this overdue stage of their career. Even when Fury and Joshua were at its best, they were bad. This is pointless now, because there is no interest.
Joshua descends from a brutal knockout against Daniel Dubois and has not defeated a good warrior since his victory over 40-year-old Vladimir Klitschko in 2017. Fury’s last win with Vladimir in 2016. These two gave their victories over the washed wlad in a mega mega, which shows the meaning of the match.
It is now official that Caleb Plant will defend its short-lived WBA 168-punting belt before Jose Armando Resendiz in the main event, and Jermall Charlo will come out of Mothballs to fight the talented Thomas Lamanna on May 31, live in the best boxing film PBC in boxeria in the forest.
Road to a great fight
Plant and Jermall take effortless presentation fights to prepare them for fighting. The point is that they look like pure gold, beating their opponents of a low level, to tighten the appetite on fans, and then establish a clash of PPV between them this year. Plant vs. Charlo is still not a great fight for salary. He focuses more on fans who remember these two when they were at the top of their game.
While Plant vs. Rosendiz and Charlo vs. Lamanna is technically not a PPV card, fans will still have to have membership in Amazon to see the event on May 31. This membership costs USD 14.99 per month or USD 139 per year, so it is not free. If fans really like duels, they will appear.
The only problem is that these two warriors are considered terrible mismatching without hope for competition. It is understandable why the 35-year-old former world champion with two divisions Jermall Charlo (33-0, 22 KO) decides to fight Lamanna (39-5-1, 18 KO), taking into account that he fought only once from 2021.
Thanks to such inactivity, Jermall needs tuning, because he was not from the ring for too long and he has not lived in the Spartan lifestyle over the years. You would like to think that Charlo has been training for years, remaining lively, but unfortunately not.
Tuning time
Critic here is the former master of IBF super master, because he was lively and is already coming out of the fight on September 14 last year against Trevor McCumba. The plant does not need another fight for a balmy -up. He should face a high ranking, such as Oslyys Iglesias, but of course we know why he doesn’t fight him.
“On May 31 I come to the show and I leave no doubt that I am one of the best in the world,” said Plant.
“I know it will be a arduous fight, but I will prepare as challenging as possible to win and devote this win to my beloved Mexico,” said RESENDIS.
