Turki Alalshikh says that “in the middle” and not on the side of Terence Crawford in his superfigurka against Canelo Alvarez on September 13 at Netflix. Canelo (63-2, 39 KO) believes that Turki is in the corner of Crawford, and pointed out that last Sunday at a press conference in Modern York.

Today Canelo he said Ring magazine“I hope your uncle Turki He pays you enough money because it will be the last,“Informing Crawford knew that his payments were over after losing on September 13.

Canelo believes that Crawford is one of Turk’s favorite warriors and he helped him get the fight he didn’t ask for. Alvarez did not see any point in defense of the belt of super medium weight against smaller, older Crawford (41-0, 31 KO), who never fought at the age of 168 and showed zero ambition to the passage to the weight class to get a fight.

Turk’s neutral attitude was explained

“I’m inside. What is in my heart,” said Turki Alalshikh Ring magazineAsking the perception of some fans that they are on the side of Crawford, heading to fight Canelo Alvarez. “Crawford is bigger than Canelo [size-wise]. “

Fans believe that Turki is on Crawford’s side because he wouldn’t have this fight without him. Canelo’s Mexican Supergivida did not see any value in the fight against Crawford, especially after his battle of life and death against Israil Madrimov in August last year.

Crawford was not on the list of nobody as a warrior whose fans wanted to see the fight with Canelo. They wanted him to fight David Benavidez and Dmitry Bivol. Turki is the one who wanted Canelo-Crawford fights.

Benavidez is the one who deserved to fight Canelo because he had been fighting for years at the age of 168, trying to win the title shot against him. Crawford never fought at the age of 168, and there are chances that he would be thrown if he decided to fight anyone who won the title shot against Canelo in a classic way. Terenka could not even beat Israil Madrimov without controversy among fans.

Canelo-Crawford face

“It started from 5 to 1 and now 2 to 1 and less,” said Turki about the chances of betlo vs. Crawford.

“Now people are starting to look back at the last fights. Now they say:” I think Crawford can do it, “said Rick Reeno. “They no longer look at him as a smaller guy who will bleed up.”

What prevents you from believing that Crawford can win is his performance against Israil Maadrimov in August last year. If the seekers looked at this fight in which Crawford should lose, they would give him little chance of defeating Alvarez on September 13.

Madrimov overtook and let go of Crawford, thanks to which he looked like his age, and then a little. You could see that Crawford was not the same warrior he fought on 147–135. Age was introduced and he hit the ceiling of what he was capable of.

“Crawford, as I told you, is a twice undisputed champion and four-time world champion,” said Turki Alalshikh. “Crawford to Crawford.”

“And he has a lot of confidence,” said Mike Coppinger about Crawford.

Frail enemies built Crawford’s record

Although it sounds impressive that Crawford is a twice unquestioned champion, after examining the fighters he defeated to achieve this, it significantly reduces achievement. The opposition that Bud fought was not good enough to do a great case, becoming unquestionable twice.

The only good name from Crawford Beat fighters was Errol Spence, but until then he was a shell of his former self. We saw that in Spence’s fights after his terrible car accident in 2019. He was seriously wounded in the fight against Yordenis Ugas, and earlier he fought with the washed Danny Garcia.

As Crawford became a two -layer unquestioned champion:

140:

– Julius Indongo: IBF and WBA
– Viktor Postol: WBC
– Thomas Dulorme: WBO

147:

– Jeff Horn: WBO
– Errol Spence: IBF, WBA and WBC

The name that is missing on this list, which would give Crawford credibility, is Jaron “Boots” Ennis. He should have been fighting Ennis before leaving the 147 pounds department.

Why Crawford skipped ennis

The fact that Crawford escaped from the division without shoes suggests that he saw warning signs of what would happen if he stayed. So, It seemed weight class to avoid loss. It was astute, but at the same time pathetic. Time escaping from Crawford escaping from the 147-pound division and the appearance of Ennis, when newborn killers leave the impression that he saw that he was too balmy to stay in the kitchen. So he ran away.
