Garcia: Crawford needs a perfect fight, doubts in power against Canelo
Published
1 year agoon
Danny Garcia claims that the power of Terence Crawford will not be enough at 168, to have a chance to defeat Canelo Alvarez for his unquestionable championships with a super medium weight on September 12. Garcia notes that Crawford’s power “did not raise” to 154 in her fight with Israil Madrimov on August 3 last year. He says that when Crawford now jumps two weight classes to 168 to fight one of the biggest strokes in the division, Canelo, it will be “arduous”.
Crawford’s decision, in order not to get up and take one or two melodies in the Super Middle Wweight to prepare for Alvarez, will make his work more arduous. He decided to play safely, sit down and wait for a gigantic fight against withdrawals, instead of risking your skin in front of one of the rivals. What does this say about what the real goal of Terenka was to fight Canelo? He says it is for heritage, but his actions suggest that it is for cash.
168 Power deficit?
“I rate Crawford’s last performance when he went to 154 against Madrimov. I feel like his [Bud] The power did not reach so much until 154. So I feel that 168 is arduous – said Danny Garcia WarriorDoubting that Terenka Crawford has enough pop in its shots to be a threat to defeating Canelo Alvarez on September 12.
Crawford’s power did not raise from 147 to 154 in its last fight. He was never a substantial blow, even at the age of 147 and He looked frail in the junior of the medium weight against Israil Madrimov. Some of them are an older age that bred an ugly head. When you are 40 years antique like Crawford and you only fight once a year from 2020. “Little GGG” Madrimov knocked with Crawford chips with his right hands, hitting his head many times. At the end of the fight, Crawford’s face looked like he was hit by a truck. Unlike this, Madrimov looked like he wasn’t even in battle.
One win to rule them all?
“If it pulls it up, you must put it there Three of the best all time. This means he [Crawford] All four lanes in three divisions are unified. Going up all weight classes to defeat Canelo, “Danny said. “If he wins this fight, you must put it in the top three. But it will be a steep, steep hill to climb. It will be arduous.”
You can’t call Crawford “three of all time” if it causes Canelo’s nervousness because he is exaggerated and is not close to his best career at that moment. If Crawford defeated the Canelo version in 2017, which fought the controversial draw against Gennada Golovkin in their first fight, you can put it in the first 30 or 40 of all time, but not in the first three. At that time, 35-year-old GGG was unveiled. Canelo was 27 years antique.
In order for Crawford to be in the top three of all time, he would have to defeat these warriors:
– David Benavidez
– Dmitryry Bivol
– David Morrell
– Artur Beterbiev
– Jai Ottaia
You do not get the highest three places of all time, beating an antique barn like Canelo, and then you say you are one of the best? Danny must slip if he thinks everything he needs is that Crawford defeats Canelo to be among the great all time. It will not even be in the top 50, if he overcomes faded antique Canelo.
“If he can do it, he praises everything, but I think it will be too much for him. He is a naturally bigger guy [Canelo]. You’re talking about a guy [Crawford] who started his career at the age of 135, fighting at the age of 168. It’s crazy. When he begins to be hit with these bombs, he will be like “Whoa” – said Garcia.
If Crawford moved to 168 and got a few tuning fights to show what he can do, he could have a chance to beat Canelo. He should have participated in a few quick fights with pretenders to super medium -sized weight, Oslyys Iglesias and Christian Mbilli, before fighting with Canelo. If Crawford was physically in one piece after these matches, the fans would give him a better shot in winning with Alvarez. What Terenki does will raise by 14 pounds after a frail performance in its debut in 154 against Israil Madrimov, does not look good for him. He will still get a $ 100 million Paydation, which is probably the only reason why he conducted a campaign to fight Canelo. But when it comes to victory, I do not see this happens, even in relation to this washed version of the Mexican star.
Lost mobility
“Crawford likes to fight,” said Danny, asked if Terenka would be Canelo’s boxing, as he did against Viktor Postole in 2016 at 140. “He can make it easier, but he just likes to fight. That’s why he is sometimes hit. He hits and presses this pressure.”
Crawford no longer has the same mobility as he had when he fought with Viktor postol at the age of 28. Bud is going to be 38 years antique on September 28. He is not an applicant that almost a decade ago, when he fought with postol, until he is packing up to the 180s of 180s, he would not be airy enough to move.

Roy Jones Jr urges Tyson Fury to avoid two men ahead of Anthony Joshua fight: ‘They could spoil the party’

As Tyson Fury searches for an August opponent, fan-favorite four-division world champion Roy Jones Jr. advises “The Gypsy King” to stay away from two rumored opponents who he believes “could crash the party” ahead of his highly anticipated fight with Anthony Joshua.
Although AJ is scheduled to face Kristian Prenga on Saturday, July 25 in preparation for his clash with Fury, the latter is yet to announce who will be in the opposing team’s corner for his next fight.
As a result, many names have been linked to an attempt to thwart Fury’s plans for a “Battle of Britain” between himself and “AJ”; with Nelson Hysa understood as the current “leading option”.
However, both Andy Ruiz Jr and Jarrell Miller were also mentioned for away corners. I’m talking to Betting showroomJones told Fury to avoid both men, believing that any “real challenge” could foil his plans.
“I know what they’re doing and I understand the warm-up fights for both of them. I just hope they’re warm-up fights and not real challenges, because if they’re real challenges, no one will win.”
“It happens every time. Every time they fight a real challenge, before they start fighting each other, someone gets defeated.
“So I hope they take real warm-up fights and not real fights, because if they take two real fights, someone’s going to lose. I hope it’s not Andy Ruiz and I hope it’s not ‘Huge Baby’ Miller for Fury.”
“I think Fury can really beat them both, but Andy Ruiz ruined the party on Joshua’s side one time. Please don’t let him ruin the party again.
“Miller is no bum either. Both Miller and Andy Ruiz can crash a party.”
Fury’s opponent is expected to be confirmed soon, along with his The “run out” is scheduled to take place in August.

Devin Haney must defend against Keyshawn Davis or the title will be vacant

Devin Haney may have his sights set on the long-talked-about fight against Shakur Stevenson, but the WBO has made it clear that another opponent is on the agenda.
Haney and Stevenson recently exchanged messages online in which both men appeared ready to face each other at the 144-pound catchweight division. With neither fighter currently scheduled to return, speculation surrounding the matchup quickly escalated.
However, the sanctioning body maintained its position regarding Haney’s responsibilities as WBO welterweight champion.
“Devin must next release himself from his mandatory duties,” the WBO said Ring.
The statement was released after Keyshawn Davis was elevated to No. 1 in the latest WBO welterweight rankings following his decision to begin his full-time campaign at 147 pounds. The Ring reported that Haney’s mandatory title defense is scheduled to take place in August, leaving little room for alternative plans if he intends to retain the belt.
Keyshawn has already hinted that he is done competing in the welterweight division after victories over Jamain Ortiz and Nahir Albright earlier this year. He later reinforced that commitment by turning down the opportunity to fight Lindolfo Delgado for the vacant IBF 140-pound title.
Haney publicly acknowledged Davis as a potential opponent, but also maintained that the highlight would be the fight with Stevenson. Meanwhile, Stevenson insisted that any fight between the pair would have to be at the 144-pound catchweight.
If Haney fights Stevenson next, it appears the WBO is ready to strip him of his welterweight title. If he wants to remain a champion, the organization’s message remains unchanged: Keyshawn Davis comes first.

Shakur Stevenson says Prime Minister Sugar Ray Robinson vs. Prime Minister Floyd Mayweather ‘wouldn’t be competitive’

Hailed as the number one pound-for-pound advantage in boxing history, Sugar Ray Robinson is appreciated by purists, while Floyd Mayweather is considered by many to be the best fighter since the turn of the millennium. Now undefeated four-division champion Shakur Stevenson has commented on what a fight between the two would look like.
One of the reasons for the pound-for-pound classification is that Robinson lost only one of his first 132 professional fights and is considered by the masses to be the greatest boxer to ever grace the sport.
But speaking further Ward’s Art Podcastcurrent pound-for-pound star Stevenson has stated that he doesn’t believe a fight between Robinson and Mayweather would be competitive at all, confidently choosing contemporary great go upstairs.
“Floyd Mayweather [would have won]without a doubt. Floyd Mayweaher, no doubt, not even close, nothing to even think about.
“I don’t think it would be a competitive fight.”
Stevenson then expanded on his opinion, stating that Mayweather’s style is simply much more “evolved” and that his defensive advantage would prove too much for Robinson to overcome.
“Floyd Mayweather had a different look, so Floyd put his hands up [high guard]he would have his hands right here [in front of his chest] sometimes he had it here [Philly Shell]he had a different look. I feel like his game was much more developed than Sugar Ray Robinson’s.
“A lot of times, if you watch Sugar Ray Robinson, his hands were always there [left hand low, right hand on chin]. From an offensive standpoint, Sugar Ray Robinson would be harder to deal with than Floyd Mayweather.
“But from a defensive standpoint and who could have done more, who has the better boxing, IQ and skill, I think Floyd Mayweather was way ahead of Sugar Ray Robinson.”
This debate is arguably one of the toughest fantasy matchups in boxing, not only because of their extraordinary talent, but also because they competed in very different eras, under different rules, training methods and levels of competition, making any direct comparisons speculative.
