Promoter Bob Arum meant this month that Canelo Alvarez became “businessman“He focused on collecting payments, instead of choosing humorous fights for fans to watch on PPV.
Avoiding the challenge of Benavidez
The Mexican star has not given fans the value of their money in recent years thanks to its money -based approach. He avoided one warrior whose fans asked him to fight, David Benavidez, And instead, he sold them secondary matches at the premium price.
The choice of Canelo opponents and avoiding talented contenders hurt his popularity. Some fans compare what he does with the performance of Floyd Mayweather Jr. Over the past few years in sport.
“Money” Mayweather chose many fighters who had a chance to beat him. However, from time to time he took a risk against Manny Pacquiao after waiting six years and against Miguel Cotto. Canelo doesn’t. He practically ceased to take the risk after his losing to Dmitry Bivol in 2022 and since then he has been cautious about his opposition.
“Bob Arum said this week that he was looking at Canelo much differently than it used to be. Canelo was a pound elite talent, a type of guy like” “. YouTube canal. “Many people have said similar things since Canelo decided not to fight David Benavidez. Is Canelo a boxer or businessman?”
It was a bad career movement for Alvarez so as not to fight Benavidez’s “Mexican monster” because he made him look cowardly, delicate and caring his CV. The last thing the fighter can afford is to perceive the threat chasing them at the elite level and calling them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Arum apparently changed his view of Canelo after he saw him avoided Benavidez for years and fights easier. Alvarez was still after 30 years, when Benavidez began to call him four years ago.
Strategy of the “Pension Route”
“I would agree with Bob Arum. I think he is more a businessman than a boxer, but it happens when you are a PPV star, “said Sergio Mora.” Whenever you are so long in a tooth, like Canelo, he is 35 years aged with over 65 fights as a professional, I think he deserved to be right and choose anyone who wants at this stage of his career.
Arum talks about Canelo during a long pension route, accusing his fans to see how he fights for unlimited fights. He lost the picture he had once when he fought the best from time to time. Even when Canelo was in great shape, he was still calculated with his choices. He decided to fight many best warriors when they were washed, not a threat.
Canelo’s older fighters fought
– Shane Mosley – Miguel Cotto – Gennadiy Golovkin – Sergey Kovalev – Floyd Mayweather Jr – Carlos Baldomir
“I think that deservedly is an operative word there. Fighters who achieved what Canelo achieved have gained the right to selectivity towards their opponents,” said Mannix. “This is not a primary career strategy [to cherry pick]. Considering the fight with low risk and reward, it is exactly what Canelo does. Canelo, go back to early years. Mayweather fought. He fought Erislanda Lara when Lara was a killer, or at least a difficult warrior at that moment. “
The fact that Canelo fought with some of the best warriors earlier in her career does not mean that he deserved the right to being a businessman and selling his fights with the gentle PPV accents. Asking boxing fans to pay that Alvarez is fighting tomato cans or smaller, older, shortbread fighters, such as 38-year-old Crawford, he is not fair. This is a businessman’s approach. Canelo is not a boxer at the moment. He only chooses fights with defeated guys such as William Scull, Crawford, Edgar Berlanga and Jaime Munguia. These should be free fights under Dazna subscription, not PPV.
P4P Canelo debate
“Gennadiy Golovkin fought when he was close to his best [Note: GGG was 35 when Canelo finally agreed to fight him. He’d been asking for a fight for three years since he was 32]. Bivol got up and fought, and he was a pound guy for pounds, said Mannix.
It wasn’t until Golovkin was in his thirties, Canelo finally agreed to fight him, and even then he came after his delicate performance against Kell Brook. GGG has been chasing Canelo for three years since he was 32 years aged without happiness.
“The question is when these pound lists appear for pounds, should we still have a Canelo Alvarez? After his performance against William Sculle, is Canelo still a pound war? [pound-for-pound]? “
Canelo should not be on the list of 10 pounds per pound for these reasons:
Avoiding the best warriors: I’m sorry, Terenka Crawford doesn’t count
Indigent performances from 2022
Skills are falling: deterioration in skills
Zero knockout from 2021
“Of course. When you are a PPV star, it gives you a seniority and the seniority keeps you in the top ten,” Mora said.
Sergio talks about popularity, not performance. The criteria for switching on fighters should not be based on their popularity, but how well they work compared to other warriors. If we talk about pounds for pounds, which is a popularity competition, the name should be changed to “the most popular list of fighters”.
Promoter Frank Warren said that he wants his heavyweight, Moses Itaum, gained experience before he fights for the title of world champion. Warren says he could get 20-year-old Itauma (12-0, 10 KO) shot for the world champion, but he wants him to develop. Ituma will fight an unsuccessful opponent on the 19 July Stadium in London.
Warren delays the title of Ituma
Frank did not mention who Ituma can fight on the card, but it will have to be someone lasting to get any value from it. It must develop its strength. This is useless if it is matched to a different low level.
For some fans, it seems that there is no real intention to develop Moses Itum. It’s about creating a noise to enter the shoes of a retired Fury Tyson to keep money flowing on the plug.
It is not a real step with Ituma. It seems that his career has been designed for another purpose, which is things of smoke and mirrors, which give artificial appearance. There are rumors Ituma has a glass jaw.
Two names, the aforementioned Francis Warren, Jermaine Franklin and Otto Wallin, as potential opponents of Ituma to fight in July, were criticized. Both are perceived as Hako and nonsense by fans who have no power or talent. Wallen lost the 41-year-old journeyman Derek Chisory. This shows the value he has as a potential opponent of Ituma.
Better ITAUMA fight options
– Filip Hrgovic – Richard Torrez Jr. – Zhilei Zhang – Bakhodir Jalalov
Criticism of ITAUMA duels
WBO decided to give itauma ranking No. 1 after his second round of 36-year-old Mike Balogune last Saturday in Glasgow. Considering the feeble opponent and plastic Itauma, filled with unclear second -level opposition fighters, you can argue that it should be classified on 15 #sanctioning bodies.
Ituma is still fighting a compact league opposition and it is not fair to him or fans that he moved to the first place in the rankings. WBA Moses took 3rd place, and IBF #7.
“Parker is now a momentary champion of WBO, so it will not happen on July 19. We couldn’t afford it on Undercard in Wembley,” said Frank Warren Ring. “We could throw ankle and get Moses for the title of world champion, but his career is a marathon, not a sprint. I want him to get to know his trade. We will look at his options for his next opponent in the next week.”
Terenka Crawford still insists that in his last fight he put up a “great performance”, raising to 154 against Israil Madrimov, and he feels that what he showed in victory has shown that he is ready to challenge Canelo Alvarez in 168.
Crawford from Nebrask receives a free title against the undisputed master of the super medium weight Canelo (63-2-2, 39 KO) on September 13 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Crawford can move up two divisions from 154 to 168 to get a uncomplicated title without fighting any of the rivals.
Movement, power did not travel
Fans believe that Crawford’s victory over the WBA Master Madrimov Junior champion was less convincing, raising doubts about the 38-year-old’s ability to fight 168 pounds. At the age of 154, the power of Terence did not exist and looked like he was five from the previous fight with Errola Spence in 2023.
Madrimov showed that Crawford does not belong to the fight for 154 or any higher weight class. Terence’s decision not to go to the goal, which is the undisputed in the younger most essential attractions in the average weight, which he recognized that he would not be able to achieve it. Masters, Bakhram Murtazaliev and Sebastian Fund, would be too substantial, too powerful and too youthful for Crawford.
Movement, hand speed and the power that Crawford had in the lower weights did not go to 154. It will not be in 168 without finding the youth fountain until September 13. The reputation of Terence was built mainly on his success in the fight with 135 and 140 pounds. The opposition of Crawford fought in 147. There were smaller fighters and several antique, faded masters. Many fans believe that he was overrated because of the restricted CV, sterile elite names. It is hard to argue with it, looking at his actual winnings.
Crawford rejects the concerns about the authorities
“I thought it was a great performance. I thought I did what I wanted in the ring. I thought I picked him up when I wanted. Sporting News Australia About your last fight with Israil Madrimov last year in August.
It was not a great performance of Crawford. He defeated Madrimov narrowly, gaining a unanimous 12-round decision of the results 115-113, 116-112 and 115-113. The fight showed that Crawford is not the same warrior at the age of 154, that he was in lower weights, and certainly will not be better until 168.
“Styles are fighting. So Canelo has a different style than Israil Madrimov. We just go from there. Not at all,” said Crawford, asked if he noticed any difference in his ability with power and shooting.
Crawford never knocked out an elite warrior in his list during a 17-year professional career. Although Terenki detained Errola Spence and Shawn Porter, both were faded versions of their antique self, used from age, long career, weight drainage and inactivity. Crawford fought them both at the right time.
George Cambosos Jr. He predicts that he will defeat the welterweight master of IBF Richardson Hitchins and Detro him in his first defense on June 14 at the theater in Madison Square Garden in Recent York. The event will be shown live in Dazn.
Cambosos predicts that hitchins are nervous
There were a unified champion of 135-pounds Cambosos Jr. (22-3, 10 KO) claims that there is no money for him. He is already a millionaire after two fights with Devin Haney, clashes with Vasily Lomachenko and Teofimo Lopez.
He says that it is more about returning to the place where he captured his lithe belts against Teo in 2021 at MSG. The little “emperor” Cambosos wants to become a two -time world champion and prove that many people are wrong.
It is believed that the only chance of the past of his summit Cambosos, 31 -year -old, is to win, it is to make him fight the jump, sometimes scratchy shy Hitchins and follow him early. He can’t afford to wait, because Hitchins died and will build a wide advantage early.
When Richardson gets an advantage, he sits on him using his own Shakur style hit-and-myth style To avoid contact. It’s tedious but effective. This is one of the reasons why Hitchins is so desperate to opponents. Nobody wants to fight him because he is tedious, fans booed, and massive money is not like more popular fighters.
George’s motivation: no money
“It’s not about money, don’t twist it, I earned a lot of money as ***. It’s about catching this feeling again and I’m coming back to the same place where I caught this feeling earlier,” said Cambosos Jr. Matchroom boxing. “It’s about proving the world who I am, a champion I am, a champion I was. I was in this place, I proved as weaker and I come again.”
It seems that Cambosos misses the elderly times, when he became one hit with a nervousness of injury, moved by the ring and the unmotivated Teofimo in 2021. Cambosos gave this winning in a fortune, earning millions. He is trying to recreate this magic with another nervousness, although against much less popular Hitchins.
The reason why Hitchins decided to defend himself against Cambosos:
Strategic supplies: This is part of the Hitchins team’s career management. Putting him against a guy who has little chance of winning
Defensive style without action: Richardson’s defense style makes him a pariah. In the style of Hitchins Cambosos is the best it can get in given circumstances.
Zero deepening and attractiveness of fans
Recognition of the name: Cambosos is well known for his brief time as a united master of lightweight, he fights with Teofimo, Lomachenko and Haney.
“If you fought Lopez, Haney twice and Lomachenko, when I fought them, they would beat you in the ass, and I would beat you ** June 14,” said Cambosos.
Hitchins vs. Haney would be a drop. Richardson would lose to Teofimo and Vasily Lomachenko, because these guys have too many offensive talents for him. He would not be able to think about his way to the ugly victory.
The fight of many boxing fans is interested in the event on June 14, there is a lithe pretender Andy Cruz (5-0, 2 KO) in the face of Hironori Mishiro (17-1-1, 6 KO) in the eliminator of the IBF title.
Fights with the card
– Andy Cruz vs. Hironori Mishiro – Alexis Barriere vs. Roney Hines – Ernesto Mercado vs. Jonathan Show – Zaquin Moses vs. Carl Rogers – Pablo Valdez vs. Cesar Diaz – nishant dev vs. Josue Silva – Adam Maca vs. TBA
