Can Crawford’s “trick” be overcome by Canelo? The theory of switching arum attitude questioned by Crawford’s last performance

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.

World champion claims Conor Benn pulled out of fight after ‘setting up the whole deal’

World champion says Conor Benn pulled out of fight after the ‘whole deal was set up’

Conor Benn could be ready for a world title fight against Ryan Garcia, but there is one reigning world champion who claims the Briton recently pulled out of a title shot even though “the whole deal has already been done.”

Benn made his Zuffa Boxing debut earlier this month. defeating Regis Prograis in a 150-pound catchweight bout – his first fight at sub-154 pounds in four years – and now he looks ready to fight for world titles at welterweight.

Although his position as mandatory challenger for the WBC title put him in line to face Garcia, WBA 147-pound champion Rolando Romero claimed that Benn had withdrawn from the title fight.

I’m talking to Fighting Hub TV“Rolly” explained why he doubted the Garcia fight would happen and revealed that he expected to fight Benn until “The Destroyer” changed his mind.

“Conor Benn waived me, we had the whole deal done, we were supposed to fight on May 30 in Fresh York for my world title, and then he just disappeared out of nowhere.

Conor Benn was there begging to fight me. By the way, we already had everything planned, but he’s in Fresh York trying to create all this fuss and stuff – he did it for advantage. Same with this, he can do this with Ryan too to gain strength.

“They’re out there trying to do all this stuff, I don’t do this imitation beef. That throws me off, you go and do all this imitation beef and then you come here and act like a gigantic, tough guy and then you run away and don’t fight.”

“Maybe he was doing it with Ryan because Ryan would have knocked him out cool.”

Garcia and Benn could collide this summer in Las Vegas when Benn returns to the welterweight division in a direct world title fight.

Jermell Charlo picks Tim Tszyu to defeat Errol Spence Jr

Charlo then launched into a longer explanation, questioning what version of Spence would emerge after his years outside the ring and claiming that style favored Tszyu.

“He has little defense. Errol will come in softly. He doesn’t really move his head. Tim moves his head. He throws a few stone hay shots. “I just follow my fighting style and be realistic.”

Jermell looked like a war veteran and described the fight, giving reasons why he chose Tszyu to beat Spence.

For years, these two towers were the “Twin Towers” of Derrick James’ gym in Dallas. They shared celebrations, sweat and secrets. The problem is that Errol was very vocal about these sessions, essentially telling the world that he was “teaching” Jermell.

For a guy like Charlo, who carries enormous pride and has built his “Lions Only” brand on being the alpha, having a former teammate claim dominance over him is a stain he can’t wash off in a sanctioned fight.

Having never fought professionally, these gym stories are the only narrative that exists and you have to wonder if it’s still eating at him.

Charlo also indicated the location, with the fight expected to take place in Australia.

“He’s going to Australia there. I see Tim Tszyu winning that fight,” Jermell said.

X is having a field day because Charlo looks like a man who sat in a dim room and watched Spence’s training videos over and over again. Fans call this the “villain arc” energy. He spoke quickly, louder and louder, and seemed personally interested in the answer.

During the prophecy, Jermell had a diabolical look in his eyes, as if he were performing a technical exorcism on his elderly rival.

When he has such wide eyes and high energy intensity, he tends to rely on his “Only Lions” personality, which thrives on perceived disrespect. In this case, the disrespect is the years in which Errol Spence Jr. he claimed to be the “substantial brother” at the gym.

“I don’t have to fight Errol Spence and I don’t care about fighting Errol Spence,” Jermell said.

Jermell is essentially using Tim Tszyu as a proxy. Since Charlo hasn’t fought at 154 pounds since 2022, he needs Spence to lose to someone else to prove that the elderly era (the Derrick James era) is over. If Tszyu destroys Spence, it will validate Charlo’s technical criticism and make his inactivity look like a calculated move rather than a decline.

Roy Jones Jr sums up Tyson Fury’s chances of beating top-ranked Lennox Lewis

Roy Jones Jr sums up Tyson Fury’s chances of beating a prime Lennox Lewis

Britain has produced some great heavyweights in recent years, ending an almost century-long curse and seeing success in the division ever since. Predicting the outcome of the clash between two of the best fighters in the country, Lennox Lewis and Tyson Fury, Roy Jones Jr said it would be a “great fight”.

Bob Fitzsimmons became the first British world heavyweight champion in 1897, and he and Jones remain the only two fighters in boxing history to have won both middleweight and heavyweight world titles.

However, Great Britain struggled for success in the division after the Fitzsimmons fight, unable to claim heavyweight supremacy until Lennox Lewis became WBC world champion in 1992. Britain has since crowned its title 11th world heavyweight championFabio Wardley, who follows in the footsteps of Fury and Anthony Joshua.

In an interview with Grosvenor CasinoJones said he would give Lewis an advantage over the “Gypsy King” if they met in their prime.

“Tyson Fury vs. Lennox Lewis? That would be a great fight, but my first thought was Lennox Lewis because of his power. But my second thought was also that Tyson Fury was great at making adjustments. I would go with Lennox Lewis.”

At least one heavyweight world title is expected to remain in a Briton’s hands for some time, with Daniel Dubois scheduled to face another Briton, Fabio Wardley, for the WBO belt next month.

In the meantime, we hope 21-year-old Moses Itauma can continue Britain’s success for many years to come, with the youngster considered by many to be the hottest prospect in boxing.

As for Fury, he is focused on the UK-wide megafight with Joshua – their own ‘Battle of Britain’ after Lennox fought Frank Bruno in 1993.
