Ring Crawford Rust Nightmare: Will long release reveal “Bud” against Canelo Alvarez?
Published
1 year agoon
Many Robles’s coach believes that the inactivity of Terence Crawford and a two -level Up jump will count against him in their title a challenge against the unquestioned master of the super medium weight Canelo Alvarez on September 13.
Annual release: Red flag
Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) comes out of the release at almost 38 years and fights in a division where he never competed. It allows him to skip the line, not to receive guy No. 1, Christian Mbilli. It takes a shortcut to the top.
“When it comes to knocking Crawford, I don’t see it. He is too elusive, too keen, too glossy and too wise,” said Many Robles coach to FINO boxingCanelo Alvarez vs. fight analysis Terenca Crawford. “He can fight the orthodox style, Southpaw’s attitudes and is just a complete warrior.”
Crawford is an applicant and will avoid knocking out by Canelo. It is like the version of Cuban Erislanda Lara, who was an outstanding applicant when he fought Canelo in 2014 and was detached. Bud is not near the level when Lara lost the controversial 12-round decision against Alvarez.
Skepticism in the “pound for a pound”
“For me it is one of the best pound fighters in the world. I understand that activity matters,” said Robles about Terenu. “So it can come back and influence Crawford, but he is such a skillful warrior. On the other hand, Canelo remains busy and is a substantial boy. He is a super medium weight.”
Robles sounds as if he is pouring the views of ordinary fans who do not have critical thinking. You can’t say that Crawford is a pound-funt with your tender CV, without fighters at the elite level. Who fought Crawford to say that there is a pound for a pound? Jeff Horn? The car disaster destroyed Errol Spence?
“You have to wear someone like that for 12 rounds. It’s extremely complex. It’s a fight 50-50. It’s tossing. Skill skill, I have to convey it to Crawford, I think everyone is agreeing,” said Manny.
How could this be a 50-50 fight, when Crawford never fought in 168, showing age at the age of 38 and approaching a dubious decision in his move to 154 in August last year? Age, inactivity, indigent CV and jumping with two divisions will be played by the factor.
“As for weight, strength and of course This activity counts also. Canelo can give everyone problems, “said Robles.” It’s about being created. I don’t think I would fight a guy who doesn’t fight, “said Robles about the last fight with William Scull.
Has Crawford’s ambition disappeared?
Activity will have a huge factor in this fight. Crawford fought only five times since 2020, fighting only once a year. He was outside the ring for 13 months, when he fought Israil Madrimov in April last year and looked terrible. Now Crawford does it again, escorting another 13-month release. Ambition, Terenca has long passed. Now he is just fighting for money. Turki Alalshikh decided to enjoy Crawford, instead of telling him that he must get a fight, passing through mini-three fights through these sharks:
- David Benavidez
- David Morrell
- Oslyys Iglesias
Canelo received a great payment for fighting William Scull, and his back was against the wall. It was either a fight or to face someone risky, such as David Benavidez, Christian Mbilli or Diego Paczeco. Scull was the least threatening fight for Canelo.
“He didn’t really take a risk. He didn’t want to win that night. At least he would try, but he didn’t even.
Canelo wanted the IBF belt back so that he could have the unquestioned medium -scale championship on the line to fight Trystka Crawford. That is why the Mexican star fought with William Scull. It was for superficial reasons.
The unquestioned mastery in the fight with September 13 is an additional angle to attract the interest of boxing fans who care about such details. Bud has the opportunity to become a champion of four stripes with three divisions.

Tommy Morrisons Son Died Twice: Brothers Battle with Cancer
Published

August 23, 2026
Tommy Morrison’s son Trey has revealed for the first time that he has “died twice” while putting past differences aside to support his brother Kenzie through his fight with stomach cancer.
Trey Lippe Morrison made the revelation while asking people to pray for Kenzie, one day after World Boxing News reported that the 36-year-old had been diagnosed with cancer and a GoFundMe had been set up to help with medical bills.
The two sons of former heavyweight champion Tommy Morrison have had their differences over the years, something Trey acknowledged openly before making clear that none of it matters now.
“No 2 other people have had their differences like my brother and myself. F*** our differences!” Trey said.
“My brother Kenzie Morrison is in the fight of his life. I want him here! I love him.”
Trey Morrison ‘Died Twice’
Trey asked those praying for Kenzie to believe that his brother can recover before revealing something he had never previously made public.
“I’ve never shared this, but I’ve died twice, I’m still here, it didn’t matter how tough I was, it was all HIM,” he said.
Trey did not elaborate on when or under what circumstances those incidents occurred and has previously kept his personal health private.
The older sibling suffered serious injuries in a 2023 car wreck that left his boxing career in doubtwhile Kenzie’s own fighting career was interrupted by injuries and inactivity before his cancer diagnosis.
Both followed their famous father into boxing and displayed the considerable punching power associated with the Morrison namebut neither was able to build the momentum once expected.
Now, boxing has become secondary for both brothers.

Brothers Put Differences Aside
Kenzie revealed his stomach cancer diagnosis after spending around a month dealing with stomach and back problems.
In his latest update, Kenzie provided further information about his situation and the urgency surrounding his search for specialist treatment.
“It’s not too late, but we don’t got a lot of time,” Kenzie said.
For Trey, whatever differences existed between the brothers have now been pushed aside.
“I love you Kenzie, and I’ll be with you every step and breath of the way,” he said.
Trey also emphasized his faith throughout the message and asked others to share Kenzie’s fight as widely as possible.
“I truly believe he will do HIM and heal my brother,” Trey said of his belief in God.
“Share everything about my brothers fight, get the word out there, everybody BELIEVE!”

The brothers may have taken different paths since following their famous father into boxing, but Trey’s message makes his priority clear.
He wants his brother here, and intends to be alongside him throughout the biggest fight of Kenzie’s life.

Teofimo Lopez Targets Next Opponent After WBA Welterweight Title Victory Over Rolly Romero

Teofimo Lopez already has his next target in mind following his victory over Rolly Romero.
Lopez claimed the WBA welterweight title with a majority decision win over Romero at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, becoming a three-division world champion in the process.
Fans have already began to speculate over who Lopez may turn his attention to next, and it didn’t take ‘The Takeover’ long to make his intentions perfectly clear.
Speaking in his post-fight press conferenceLopez revealed that he is looking to face the winner of next month’s WBC welterweight title fight between Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn.
“September 12th you’ve got Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn. We’ll see what happens there, we’ll watch. Obviously Keith Connolly [Lopez’s manager] manages Conor Benn so if he wins it’s a great fight to take across the pond, and I’m rooting for it anyway.”
Lopez also admitted he could be interested in a battle with IBF champion Liam Paro, but explained why he wouldn’t want to take on WBO champion Devin Haney just yet.
“I’d rather wait for Devin at the end, and the only reason why is to reclaim the whole situation with undisputed, not undisputed. We’ll see what Devin does on that end, so it’ll either be Liam Paro next or the winner of Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn.”
Lopez is referring to when he campaigned at lightweight and insisted he was undisputed champion following his win over Vasiliy Lomachenko, only for Haney to be recognised as the legitimate WBC titleholder, meaning there is plenty of history between the pair.

Shakur Stevenson Analyzes Rolly Romero After Teofimo Lopezs Victory in World Title Fight

Teofimo Lopez defeated Rolly Romero to win the WBA welterweight title on Saturday and now Shakur Stevenson has shared his reaction.
Lopez appeared to be in control for the majority of the bout at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, though the scorecards had it much closer than people expected, with ‘The Takeover’ only getting the nod by majority decision after scores of 114-114, 115-113 and 116-112.
Romero did have a successful fifth round where he was able to rock Lopezbut other than that he failed to get any real foothold in the fight, as he lost his WBA crown and Lopez claimed world honours in a third division after previous reigns at 135lbs and 140lbs.
It was back in January when his time as WBO super-lightweight champion came to an end, suffering a one-sided unanimous decision defeat to the aforementioned Stevenson at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Stevenson has now posted on social media with his verdict on the win from ‘The Takeover’, praising his former rival for becoming world champion in his first bout at 147lbs.
“Yea Teofimo 3 division champ that’s 🔥”
Stevenson also paid tribute to Romero, saying he had ‘respect’ for the former champion for taking on anyone.
“Respect to Rolly a champion who will fight anybody Respect champ!!!”
Respect to Rolly a champion who will fight anybody Respect champ!!!
— Shakur Stevenson (@ShakurStevenson) August 23, 2026
Lopez now may look towards potential unification fights at 147lbs following his victory, with the winner of next month’s WBC title fight between Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn a possible option, along with battles against WBO champion Devin Haney or IBF champion Liam Paro.
