Fernando Vargas Jr. He says that he does not think that Terenka Crawford will be able to “withstand” Canelo Alvarez power in their fight on Saturday, September 13. Canelo (63-2-2, 39 KO) strikes too tough, and for Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) is too gigantic to go from 154 to 168.
Vargas Jr. He predicts that 37 -year -old Crawford will succeed early, landing that they get up, that they slammed Canelo. But when Alvarez warmed up, he will put him on Crawford and it will be down for the pretender.
Canelo’s IBF, WBA, WBC and WBO Super Middle Wweight titles will be on the line of this fight at the Allegiant stadium in Las Vegas. Crawford has the opportunity to become three unquestioned champion. He was allowed to ignore the initial fights with a super -medium weight, Oslyys Iglesias, Diego Pacheco and Christian Mbilli to get this title against Alvarez. He is similar to the team that goes to Super Bowl without competing in Play -Ff.
The difference in CV is clear
“I just see Kanelo, he is his biography. He enters this fight with the fight against Cotto, Mayweather and Trout. He fought with those various warriors who give him this mental advantage,” said Fernando Vargas Jr. Ring magazineGiven his reasons why Canelo Alvarez will defeat Terenka Crawford on Saturday.
There is no comparison between CV Canelo and Crawford. The Mexican star has fought the high -level opposition since 2013. In addition to the names of Vargas Jr., Canelo fought these well -known fighters:
Gennadiy Golovkin X 3
Dmitriry Bivol
Sergey Kovalev
Erislanda Lara
Callum Smith
The only names of Crawford fighters fought that they did not go well, they were Israil Madrimov and Viktor Postol. Although Crawford fought with Shawn Porter, Errol Spence, Yuriorkis Gamboa and Ricky Burns, they were on career defects.
“Regardless of whether people say it falls or not, it makes it a more competitive fight,” said Vargas Jr. About Canelo. “I think he will succeed from Canelo, maybe backing up,” said Fernando about Crawford.
Vintage Canelo for Crawford
The Canelo version, which two years ago defeated the former undisputed master of mediumwear master, Jermell Charlo, on September 30, 2023, may prove to be too powerful for Crawford. In this fight, Canelo was in the vintage style, landing huge shots that made Jermell hesitate to stand in place and trade. Jermell is bigger and probably stronger than Crawford. If he could not cope with a two -level jump towards Canelo, it is doubtful that Terencia would do it.
Can Crawford hit?
“I think Canelo will end up putting her blows and I think the power will be too high. I do not think that Terenka Crawford can withstand the best Canelo shots. But this makes it a good fight and a fight that fans want to see – said Vargas Jr.
If Canelo is able to land like shots with which he hit his last three opponents, Crawford will be arduous. Although Bud is fighting in a training camp to prepare for Canelo’s power, it’s not the same as being in the ring with a real thing.
Fans who are skeptical about Crawford’s chances of winning would have fewer doubts if he took one or two melodies in 168 against the great puncher who could bring Alvarez the power to bring. Crawford decided not to fight in 13 months when he left the ring, and this is a red flag, which he is heading towards oblivion.
Mexican style versus sweet science
“I understand the sweet science of hitting and I don’t wear. Mexican style is that in the middle of the finger ring to my fingers.” I don’t care how many times you hit me. I hit you twice, “said reporter Claudia Trejos to Netflix. “This is the relentless spirit.”
As Claudio notes, Canelo has a Mexican style to make “Duke it out” with her opponents, and head against a more defensive Crawford. Some fans who did not watch Crawford’s previous fights assume that the way he fought aggressively against Errol Spence Jr. In their match on July 29, 2023, he was as always fought.
It was an exception rather than a rule. Crawford has always been an opponent who avoids hits. It is unrealistic to expect that it will change in this fight, especially with the biggest hit in his career.

Next month, Ryan Garcia will go toe-to-toe with Conor Benn in the first defence of his WBC welterweight title, and now former pound-for-pound king Terence Crawford has doubled down on his prediction for the clash.
Crawford hung up the gloves whilst recognised as the pound-for-pound number one in December, but that has not stopped ‘Bud’ from developing a heated rivalry with Garcia since his retirement, with the pair making regular jibes at one another in recent months.
Garcia has now revealed his intentions to tempt the undefeated southpaw out of retirement if he retains his title against Benn, but the Omaha-born sensation has declared his belief that Garcia will lose his belt to the Briton, favouring the challenger’s size and power.
Now, as fight week edges closer, Crawford has once again insisted that Benn will pull off the upset, as he told Fight Hub TV that he is picking ‘The Destroyer’ to come out on top.
“It’s going to be a good fight. I got Conor Benn!”
Benn will be competing at welterweight for the first time in nearly five years, looking to wrestle away the belt that Garcia won back in February with a win over Mario Barrios.
The event takes place on Saturday, September 12, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and on the undercard, Jai Opetaia is set to take on current WBC cruiserweight world champion Noel Mikaelian.
It currently remains to be seen whether the Armenian will still be the reigning titleholder when fight night comes around though, due to rumours that Mikaelian will be stripped for avoiding a fight with David Benavidez.
Terence Crawford faced and defeated 42 different opponents during a 17-year career, but super-middleweight icon Carl Froch believes that there is one welterweight who would have put an end to Crawford’s unbeaten streak if they were to meet in their primes.
Crawford became the first post-war boxer to claim the undisputed title in three separate weight divisions last September; a run which began as a super-lightweight in 2015 by defeating Thomas Dulorme, then unifying against Viktor Postol before halting Julius Indongo in an undisputed title showdown.
‘Bud’ then moved on to the welterweight scene and knocked out Jeff Horn to capture the WBO world title on his 147lb debut, making five defences of the title before colliding with fierce rival and three-belt unified titleholder, Errol Spence Jr, in 2023.
In a unforgettable fight, Crawford brutally beat Spence down in an authoritative ninth-round stoppage win to capture the undisputed welterweight throne. Talk then turned to an unprecedented three-weight move up to super-middleweight to take on Canelo Alvarez.
After stopping off at super-welterweight to dethrone Israil Madrimov on his way up, Crawford debuted at super-middleweight in a challenge for Canelo’s undisputed crown and outboxed the Mexican superstar in an iconic win last year, hanging up the gloves three months later.
Despite those legendary achievements, Froch picked Floyd Mayweather Jr to come out on top in a potential fantasy fight against the Omaha southpaw, in an episode of ‘Froch on Fighting’.
Mayweather’s achievements speak for themselves, retiring with a perfect 50-0 unbeaten record after claiming world honours in five divisions, with his most impressive reign coming at 147lbs, where he defeated the likes of Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley.
Mayweather has been rumoured to make a comeback, but while there would be huge finances that would be on offer, Crawford has revealed that he would have no interest in ending his retirement for a bout with ‘TBE’, believing that the 49-year-old is ‘old’ and ‘done’.
Terence Crawford has been hailed by many as the best fighter of this generation following his retirement, and now WBC welterweight title hopeful Conor Benn has shared how he thinks ‘Bud’ would have fared against six-division world champion Oscar De La Hoya.
Crawford became boxing’s sixth five-division world champion with an iconic win over Canelo Alvarez back in September; joining Thomas Hearns, Sugar Ray Leonard, De La Hoya, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao in that elite and exclusive club reserved only for legends of the sport.
Of that group, only De La Hoya and Pacquiao have gone on to conquer a sixth division, with De La Hoya’s 2004 WBO middleweight world title win over Felix Sturm seeing the Californian become the first boxer to ever become a sextuple champion.
Crawford could have joined ‘’The Golden Boy’ and ‘Pac-Man’ in achieving that feat, having been offered a middleweight world title shot during the aftermath of his triumph over Canelo late last year – a proposal which later fell apart due to a failed doping test by Janibek Alimkhanuly.
Continuing the praise that the Omaha-born southpaw has received since announcing his retirement last December, Benn told Daily Mail Boxing that he would favour the undefeated star to get the better of De La Hoya, if they were to meet in their primes.
Benn also went on to predict that Crawford would retain his unbeaten streak against other greats of the game, picking him to come out on top against each of Mayweather, Julio Cesar Chavez, Pernell Whitaker and Roberto Duran.
