Crawford is an opponent of Canelo – and boxing fans – they need

Published

on

Another fight of Canelo Alvarez and another opponent who did not want to engage him, led to the disappointing night in which the boxing super star won, but the fans lost.

Again.

This alarming trend must stop and I hope that Terenka Crawford will force Canelo to fight because fans deserve something better.

Unfortunately, Canelo brought it.

The unanimous victory in the Canelo decision (119-109, 116-112 and 115-113) over William Scull on Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia was the last in his last series of fights without drama or emotions. In the fight against Scull, Canelo threw a total of 152 blows. This number is the first of the first blows thrown into the 12-round fight in the 40-year compubox history. This is fatal, even according to low Canelo output standards. However, he was in the ring with a warrior who was not interested in winning and just wanted to survive, because Scull was approaching the ring and landed 55 out of 293 blows. Nothing that landed had no consequences, and Canelo was not remotely threatened by the previously undefeated Szula.

The reality is that Canelo deserved it.

Because in May 2022 he lost to Dmitryjum Bivol, Canelo spent the last three years, loading his bank account, fighting with a smaller opposition and leaving fans who wanted more. He received a pass for fighting the aging Gennadiy “GGG” Golovkin two years too overdue, and following her back home against John Ryder. Then, however, he is expected that he will have more than a distinguished David Benavidez, a compulsory pretender WBC. Instead, Canelo decided to fight the undersized and filled Jermell Charlo and unjustified opponents of Jaime Munguia and Edgar Berlang. There will be those who say that Canelo had to fight Scull to become unquestioned again and blame IBF for installing an unverified warrior as a compulsory opponent, but it’s only half true. The reality is that Canelo can do what she wants, and the only real obligatory opponent (of course dictated by fans) was Benavidez. For any reason, Canelo did not want this fight. And here we are.

To be forthright, the fight with Jake Paul would be better than what we saw with Scull. Sure, Paul doesn’t deserve either, but would anyone doubt that he would at least win? In the end, Canelo was close to fighting Paweł before Turki Alalshikh, chairman of the general entertainment authority of Saudi Arabia, he could not refuse with the Canelo offer.

This trend would not be so bad if Canelo provided exhilarating fights. Instead, his last trips seemed too sheltered, choosing financial security before taking risks and sending opponents at a distance. He was too conservative. And even when he had opponents on the proverbial ropes, he apparently let them reach the last bell. His recent opponents south and did not try to win. And Canelo was nice enough to let them break away from several additional zeros on her bank account.

He will not have such a luxury against Crawford when they meet on September 12 at the Allegian stadium in Las Vegas.

Of course, Canelo will have a significant advantage of greatness, because Crawford – the undisputed champion in welterweight and welterweight – entered two consecutive weight classes to challenge him. But Crawford is one of the best fighters of this generation and has an average run that will not allow Canelo to a cruise to another decision. Instead, at some point, Canelo will have to bite his eraser and fight Crawford. This is something that we haven’t seen that Canelo has been doing Bivol since the fight. He spent the last three years in adored sparring sessions without a sense of danger.

At this stage of her career, Canelo needs a challenge that Crawford represents. He spent the first two -thirds of his career, charging his CVs with high quality names, but the last third saw how he avoided hard challenges, while depositing gigantic controls. And before you say he deserved that fans and critics also deserved to call him.

Although it can be great for Canelo, fans deserve it. The so -called “boxing face” should push the sport further into the mainstream. These fights work exactly the opposite.

The latest Canelo offer with the Riyadh season will continue to appear, but fans deserve to see one of the biggest boxers of this era in a hard fight.

And it should be a fight with Crawford.

It was the last hope for a fatal boxing weekend. After Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia, and even Canelo Alvarez managed to disappoint fans on Friday and Saturday cards, it has been the undisputed champion of Super Bantam in the heavyweight of Nayy Inoue and the high ranking of Ramon Cardenas to save what should be wonderful three days of boxing. In 29-0 Inoue was a clear and legitimate favorite. Despite this, at the weekend, where Ryan Garcia is defeated by Romero, everything was clearly possible, even for 26-1 Cardenas.

Jab Inoue told the story of the first. Cardenas rejected a solid combination in the first part of the second. Inoue answered a fresh, speedy hit in the whole round. However, Cardenas was won in him. Indeed, he sent Inoue, who crashed into a mat at the end of the round. Inoue defeated the count – but he was clearly shocked. Cardenas impressively marked his man in the third, although Inoue landed more often with strokes and power shots. One thing became surprisingly clear – the power of Cadena had an impact on Inoue.

Inoue fired a burning combination on cadets in the fourth. Then he thundered as a pretender. Both men threw lightning, but Inoue was a slightly more busy warrior in the fifth. It was a great fight. Inoue nailed Cardenas to six, and then hit him on the ropes. However, Cardenas got a second wind. Inoue exploded again, almost ending the fight in front of the bell. After the seventh round, in which every man trades at crushing blows, Cardenas was sent to a mat. He defeated the count and survived the round.

Inoue bombed his man again in the eighth – and this time the judge stopped fighting. Cardenas could be able to survive, but the damage he received was brutal, which made the judge’s space completely understood.

A great fight.

Bradley Blasts “broken” Haney, Garcia and Lopez after the deadly fury “garbage”

Published

Image: Bradley Blasts "Spoiled" Haney, Garcia & Lopez After "Trash" Fatal Fury

Tim Bradley destroyed Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia and Teofimo Lopez for the collective tender performances last Friday evening at the Fatal Fury Event at the Times Square in Fresh York. Bradley thinks that they just looked like a broken fighters after Turks Alalshikh paid them a huge money for the Dazn PPV party and did not show any passion, driving or hunger. “

Tim equals a lot of his criticism in Haney (32-0, 15 Kos), whom he feels that he fought, as if he suffers from “PTSD”, deciding to run around the ring all the fight with Jose Ramirez in battle. He said Haney looked like a former USAIN Bolt sprinter with a run he made. Bradley believed that Devin should have been on earth and a pressure fighter fought from him instead of moving.

“No real warrior”

Ryan Garcia is not a real warrior at all. All year free? You had one that rehabilitates [Ryan]and the other that does not rehabilitate [Devin Haney]He also set up a *** program – said commentator Tim Bradley Fight Hub tvSpeaking of the terrible performances of Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney in his fights last Friday evening during the Fatal Fury Event at Times Square in Fresh York.

I completely agree with you, Tim. You tell him. Ryan showed that he is not a “real warrior” last Friday in the evening, folding a tent and withdrawing when he tried Rolly in the second round. It was one long, bitter retreat for Kingra for the rest of the evening after he was drained in the second round from the left hook by Romero.

“Haney was to return to the drawing board and improve. Do you think he was better? Absolutely not. Just because you will add Hall of Famer to your team [new coach Shane Mosley]Not better. I haven’t seen any improvement in Ryan. I haven’t seen any improvement in Haney.

“Ryan Garcia does not want to be a warrior. All Ryan Garcia wants is money. That’s all, and Ryan didn’t even want to fight Devin. It showed me. Not even entering gas and trying to throw one combination all night. Are you kidding me, man? Devin didn’t want to fight. He didn’t want to visit it again. “

Haney definitely worsened. You could see that the loss with Ryan in April last year influenced him mentally, deceiving his confidence, leaving him in a state similar to a veterinarian with a shell, which is jumped on every sound and is not able to get to the front line. Haney did not look like he belonged to the ring. He seemed to be afraid of hitting; That is why he ran around the ring throughout the 12-round fight, doing little more than a stab and hold.

The warning signs were already before the fight of ROLLY that it was only about money for Garcia’s career, because he fought in the fight with Gervont Davis in 2023, not fighting the fighting, which authorizes to prepare them for an elite warrior. He used his huge social media to fight Tank, which he did not deserve, and was not ready.

“PTSD is true”

“Devin, I felt he didn’t want to fight Ryan Garcia, with the way he fought, how he was afraid,” Bradley continued. “PTSD is a real thing in boxing. This is a real thing and that’s what I saw with Devin, watching him running around the ring. I thought: “Did this guy train with [former sprinter] USAIN BOLT? Who did he train with hell? He runs around the ring as if he were crazy. “

Haney lost his faith in his chin. It seems that he does not believe that he can do a demanding blow without falling again, like many times in the fight of Kingry. At the beginning of the fight last Friday, Devin froze for a second after Ramirez hit him with a pristine left hook on the head. It was as if he lost his senses for a moment. This is not a good sign. He was lucky that the elderly, gray veteran Ramirez was so washed in his game, because it would end bad if he had something.

“I am like:” Stop down and grow balls, elderly, “said Bradley about Haney. “Stand there and carry it and make sure you have returned to this guy [Jose Ramirez] Off you. I was so bad after watching it [Fatal Fury: City of Wolves event]. I wasted time for it. The whole program was rubbish. All fighters have no passion. They have no desire at all, brother. “

Haney could not “settle” his feet down because he was too worried about cutting. Even before he fought Ryan, he was a runner and clinker with Fossed Mayweather Combat style. This approach is poison for fans in this contemporary era, which is why Haney and Teofimo Lopez’s performances were so terrible last Friday. They do not match this era. You put them down at the beginning of 2000, when the antique dinosaur Floyd wandered around the world of boxing, they would be fine and would be perfect. They did not fit in this up-to-date era.

Ryan just looked like a chicken against roll, but he was never good. Garcia is only a one -dimensional warrior whose promoters carefully adapted. He is even less a warrior than Haney, and this says a lot, because Devin is a tender copy of Mayweather. He has the same movements, but he is slower and even more monotonous than Stary G.

Corrupted truth

Nowadays, everyone is spoiled. All fighters are broken and all this for your man [Turki Alalshikh?] This love – said Bradley, talking about fighters, Haney, Teofimo and Ryan, spoiled with millions that Turks pay them. “By spoiling these guys. These guys earn too much money and I understand. To get it? To get this kind of performances? Come, elderly. Without passion, without driving, without hunger. Plain garbage. It was terrible to watch. I was so bad, elderly. And you can still see that I’m still enraged.”

Bradley gets good. Turki pays Haney, Ryan Garcia, and Teofimo Lopez caused them not to fight the intensity they did when they were still hungry, trying to make more themselves. When the boxers become sullied, most of the time, the negative disadvantage is that they lose their ambitions. They rarely fight, for example, like Terence Crawford and Charlos, or when they compete, put very little effort, looking inactive and uninformed. Why would they? They are already luxurious, they enjoy their residences, Ferraris and trophies’ wives, so they do not want to suffer pain associated with being in the war. They would prefer to make it good back in the base, a lot of sleep, not risking your skin.

Only entertainment?

“It was not a boxing event. It was, quoting Unsquote,” Entertainment “. It was the only thing that was attached to this. “It was not a real boxing event. Who, the fuck, appears in the car? Who does it? Because it was elastic. It was in a state of elastic in a state of Fresh York.” Look what we can do “. It wasn’t about fighters.

The fatal event of fury had the impression of WWE, but without theatrical entertainment of one of these events. At least it’s nice to watch with them. They give their best, even though it is false. The Great Trójka, Haney, Ryan and Teo, just went through the movements. They looked as if they were there only for payments. If I were Turks, I would be furious at the product that I received after paying these three Gazillions.

“I never want to see something like this. If you fighters are not passionate about being the best, don’t get up on the ring. Save my time,” said Bradley.
