Promoter Eddie Hearn says that he is worried that the “pumped” body, age and inactivity of Teuchnid Crawford can negatively affect his superfigura against Canelo Alvarez this Saturday, September 13, at the Allegian stadium in Las Vegas.

Hearn says that Crawford is 37 years aged, he fights once a year for the last few years and did not look great in his last fight, 13 months ago against Israil Madrimov. He asks if Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) will cope with the power of the undisputed super middle champion in Canelo (63-2-2, 39 KO), because he moves up two classes to face him.

Hearn also has concerns about Canelo, especially about his age and legs. He noticed that Canelo’s legs showed signs of slowdown with his inability to cut off the ring against his last opponent, William Scull, May 3, 2025.

Hearna’s doubts about Crawford’s body

“I’m worried that I see the size of Crawford. It looks like pumped, much larger than usual. It is very complex to do it for your body and go and perform as you always perform. I don’t know if it will facilitate him,” said Eddie Hearn supervisor Stamping ground About the physical transformation, which Terenca Crawford went through with the size, which he put in the fight Canelo Alvarez.

The additional weight that Crawford put on can make it complex for him if Canelo is pushed to a swift pace. However, it is doubtful whether the Mexican star has Cardio required to force Tereska to fight enough to play his weight.

What can be a decision -maker in this fight is the power of Canelo and his striking body. Crawford was not hit in a professional fight by a warrior about Canelo’s power. Delived from Omah, Nebraska, Crawford, he was wounded in his fights with Yuriorkis Gamboa in 2014 and Egidijus Kavaliauskas in 2019.

Both warriors show their age

“I’m worried if he is [Canelo] The same warrior at this stage of his career. They are both aged in terms of fighters. What is Crawford, 36, 37 [Note: Terence turns 38 on September 28]. Canelo 36 [correction: 35]. I remember watching [William] Fighting with Scull. I just felt that his legs slowed down a little. “

Canelo showed signs of deterioration since the fight against Jaime Munguia on May 4, 2024. He fought well in the first three rounds against Mungui, but then he seemed to get tired, and did the minimum of the rest of the road to get a 12-round unanimous decision.

It was the same in the last two fights of Canelo with Edgar Berlang and William Scull. He fought early, but then he threw the sporadic impact of the rest of the road to win a pair of 12-round decisions.

Fight once a year

“Can Crawford cope with the power at 168? Let’s be sincere. He didn’t look great against [Israil] Madrimov at 154. He was so inactive. He has fought once a year for the last two years, even three years [correction: Crawford has fought once a year since 2021]. At the moment my head slightly bends towards Crawford. I want to see him next week in the scales – said Hearn.

Canelo-Madrimov’s fight was so closed that she could go to Madrimov’s path because more complex, cleaner shots landed. Terenka won a 12-round unanimous decision, but his age, rust ring and lack of power influenced him in this fight. It was an infusion of witches who acted against Crawford in this competition. The judges gave him victory, but in my opinion Madrimov should be a winner. Hearn feels the same. Madrimov won. It was not the perfect performance of Crawford to go into Superfight against Canelo.

“I think they are both aged. It’s almost as if they are getting aged faster. Canelo has not stopped anyone since then [Caleb] Bet [on November 6, 2021]Hearn said.

Crawford’s reflex

Terenka looked as if he had become day by day in his last fight with Madrimov on August 3, 2024, Crawford was out of the ring for over a year since victory over Errol Spence on July 29, 2023. In 13 months after the ring Bud was not reminiscent of the same warrior physically against Madrim, because he was against Spendin.

Crawford has repeatedly hit the uncomplicated Madrimov’s laws of the entire 12-round fight. In my opinion, reflexes for 36-year-old Crawford looked on erosion. Now Crawford is inactive for another 13 months from the Madrimova competition, and he is approaching 38 when he goes into his superpower against Canelo.

Although Crawford was able to successfully fight, despite the repetitive breaks in 2021, the opposition he met with was not starred.

Crawford opposition returning from 3 long annual breaks:

• Israil Madrimov
• Errol Spence
• David Avaneyan
