Commentator Max Kellerman today erected Crawford on the defensive, when he mentioned the name Israil Madrimov at his press conference for fighting Canelo Alvarez in Recent York.

Kellerman challenges Crawford Canelo

Kellerman asked Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) why he skipped 160 pounds to go straight to 168 to Canelo’s fight after a arduous time, which he had in his debut in 154 against Madrimov last year.

Crawford made a face during the mention of a arduous fight with the former WBA champion 154-LB Madrimov, and disregarded. The reality is that he was probably beaten, but was saved by three judges who won him through the results of 115-113, 116-112 and 115-113.

Crawford’s performance showed that he is not an elite at the age of 154 and would probably lose his rematch with Madrimov. He would also have sedate problems with many other fighters at the age of 154, such as Vergil Ortiz, Sebastian Fund and Bakhram Murtazaliev to mention only a few.

After this effort, Crawford is not surprising that he skipped 160 pounds and went straight to 168 for Canelo’s fight. If he moved to the medium scale, he would have to fight guy No. 1 in the division, Janibek Alimkhanuly. He would not cope well against him. Janibek is at a different level than Madrimov in terms of power and would be a nightmare for a miniature, senior warrior, such as Crawford.

Medium weight omitting: Why Crawford?

Max Kellerman: “Why are you jumping and skipping the division? You just reached the junior medium weight. You received your best fight in your career in Madrimov at Junior Middle Libra. Who gave you a more arduous fight than Madrimov? Stop it.

Terenca Crawford: “Listen, if you think it was a arduous fight, woo.”

Kellerman: “Well, you beat the hell of most guys you fought. He gave you a good fight. Now you skip the average weight without the rehydration clause, nothing to go to the fight with a guy who dominated this weight class for a decade. Why do it in this way?”

Crawford: “Why not?”

We know why Crawford omitted in medium weight and went straight to Canelo. Money. He would probably lose Janibek through Nokaut, and Payday would not be around $ 50 million, which can fight Canelo.

Adrien Broner Flight Post leaves comeback hanging in the balance

Published

on

Adrien Broner talks at the press conference for his last fight.

Adrien Broner has sparked fresh concern after he shared a late-night post from a flight showing multiple drinks as questions continue to mount over his boxing future.

The former four-division world champion posted the clip with the caption, “I’m almost close to Denzel on this,” referring to the film – a comparison that raises its own questions.

The backlash was almost immediate, with comments ranging from mockery to concern as Broner’s latest appearance came days after a tumultuous run that had already cast doubt on his latest comeback attempt.

Some questioned whether the return rumors had died down, while others took a more direct assessment of the current state of affairs. A smaller number urged Broner to peaceful down, but the overall reaction pointed in one direction: uncertainty.

Same pattern, fresh moment

Fasting is not an isolated moment. It follows a pattern in which failures are quickly followed by promises of redemption.

This comes after a messy period in which Broner was already given a “last chance” opportunity to return to the game after admitting he had returned to street life and was asking for one last chance.

Since then, events have unfolded rapidly, from a 48-hour spiral that required intervention to prevent drinking and driving, to further fallout involving those around him. Each moment reinforced the same question: had anything actually changed?

Adrien Broner under pressure

Broner continues to beg, begging for another chance. The final comeback is already approaching the next evening’s moment, when the former champion reaches the age of 37 and is running out of time to make the same promises.

It seems that Don King has become another promoter who has failed to tame “The Problem” who is intent on chasing quick money while living the same lifestyle – it’s getting tiring to repeat it.

For a fighter once on the verge of becoming a superstar, the gap between promise and reality has never been greater.

What will happen next?

There are no longer concerns about whether Broner will be able to return to the ring.

It’s a question of whether he can stay on track long enough to get back on track.

The recording speaks for itself. The reaction was sobering. The question is now elementary – is it the same cycle again?

Gilberto Ramirez leaves with two fights left

Image: Gilberto Ramirez Eyes Exit With Only Two Fights Left

“I think one or two more fights,” Ramirez told Fight Hub TV when asked about his long-term plans. “I have been practicing this sport for a long time.”

Ramirez, 33, said that while he still wants to continue his career for now, he is already thinking about how his career will end, not how long it can be extended. Ramirez said he has achieved key goals in the sport, including becoming world champion in two divisions, but still wants to perform at the highest level before he retires.

That pursuit begins with Benavidez, a fight that Ramirez believes will define his status and push his name further to the top of the sport.

“I will beat him. That’s my plan, to fight Opetaia,” said Gilberto about his desire to fight former IBF cruiserweight champion Jai Opetaia.

It’s a shoot-for-the-stars plan for Ramirez, but you can’t blame him for wanting to fight Opetaia. The biggest obstacle is not only the fight itself, but also where Jai Opetaia currently sits. Jai is now the face of Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing.

At the same time, Ramirez hinted at one last twist before his retirement. When asked about moving up again, he left the door open to a possible heavyweight fight, even admitting that he may not be the biggest fighter in the division.

“Why not?” Ramirez talked about moving up to heavyweight. “That would be amazing.”

If Zurdo loses to Benavidez, his plan for Opetaia will likely evaporate and he may just go straight to the heavyweight event for one last payday before he suspends them.

Eddie Hearn expects Mayweather vs Pacquiao 2 fight to be canceled and replaced with world title fight

Eddie Hearn expects Mayweather vs Pacquiao 2 to be cancelled and replaced by world title fight

The final decision may come after the Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao rematch drama ends.

Earlier this year, it was announced that Mayweather and Pacquiao were set to fight professionally more than 10 years after their first meeting, with the event streaming live on Netflix and taking place on September 19 at The Sphere in Las Vegas.

In recent weeks the duel was in doubt, after Mayweather stated that the fight would instead be an exhibition, while Pacquiao continues to insist that it must be a fully sanctioned fight.

Since it is currently unknown whether this will actually come to fruition, this has probably given the clearest signal that this will no longer happen.

Conversation with FightHypepromoter Eddie Hearn said he thinks Netflix can now focus on the WBC welterweight title fight between Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn, essentially replacing the Mayweather-Pacquiao event.

“It’s all a mess. I’m surprised Netflix got into this whole circus… Netflix is ​​modern to boxing, but they need to be a little more solid in the routine because you can’t actually call the fight and it just falls by the wayside and it just doesn’t look great.”

“NO [I don’t believe it will happen]not now. Netflix is ​​only going to do so many fights and the Benn-Garcia fight is now said to be on September 12 or whenever that happens, so obviously this is the fight to replace Mayweather-Pacquiao.

“If it happened Mayweather-Pacquiao, they are committed to that fight, but if it doesn’t happen they will want another fight and from the sound of it it will be Garcia vs. Benn.”

The world title fight between Garcia and Benn has been widely discussed this month, and if Hearn is right, it could spell the end of any hopes of Mayweather and Pacquiao fighting again.
