Benavidez sr. He accuses Canelo Alvarez of transforming boxing into a “circus” with SCULL and Crawford duels

Coach Jose Benavidez sr. Baked Canelo Alvarez in an interview with his plans to fight with the little-known William Scull on May 3 in Riyjad, and then the 154-pound owner of the Terenka Crawford belt on 13 September in Las Vegas.
Benavidez sr. He claims that sanctioning bodies should not allow these fights. It simply turns sport into a “circus”. He annoys Jose Sr. He runs with it.
Jose Sr. He believes that Alvarez should have higher standards and focus on fighting the best guys in 168 and 175, instead of taking fighting at the circus level at the end of his career. Floyd Mayweather Jr. He did the same at the end of his career. Perhaps Canelo learned from him.
“Who is Scull?”
“Scull, what the hell did he achieve? Who is Scull? I didn’t even know who Scull was,” said Jose Benavidez Sr. Fight Hub tvTrashing Canelo Alvarez for his plans to fight with the little -known super middle champion IBF William Scull next May 3 in Riyjad.
Jose Sr. He is not the only one who doesn’t know William Scull. Many fans have never seen him fight before, and those who were not impressed. He received a 12-round unanimous decision about Vladimir Shishkin in Germany on October 19 last year.
“Terence Crawford, come on. He looked really bad in his last fight [WBA 154-lb champion Israil Madrimov]. He goes up two divisions. Come, man. We tried to go to the fight [Oleksandr] Usyk in heavyweight. David is not ready yet. I also don’t think Crawford is ready for it. “
Crawford is definitely not ready to fight for 168 with talent like Canelo. Turki should have made Canelo Fight Fight a conditional based on Crawford up 168 and defeating two solid fighters. It didn’t happen. He gets a lot of money to jump on two divisions from 154 to 168 after a faint performance against Israil Madrimov in August last year. Fans should perceive Canelo-Crawford as a duel that you need to see, 50-50, but this is not the case. Unless there is a great card for this event, many fans will decide not to order it.
“So I see two fights straightforward for him [Canelo in 2025]And that’s what they want. People allow it, and organizations allow it. So he will continue to do it. Why not? As he says, he can do what he wants and does what he wants – said Benavidez Sr.
There is no way that sanctioning bodies or commissions can stop Canelo from fighting Crawford. Titles are not significant for this fight. It’s about money and mindless, junk entertainment. Only hardcore fans take care of the titles. This is only Canelo Fighting Crawford in a boxer -type match vs. Puncher match. Crawford is not well known by free fans and is not a great attraction with hardcore fans because of his penniless CV. His combat style was not fun enough for him to have a wider appeal like Canelo.
Fate of boxing?
“Boxing turned into something that is not so good. Before, we had Fernando Vargas fighting Shane Mosley, fighting Oscar de la Hoya, Julio Cesar Chavez, all these warriors, fighting with these good fights. But now only one that fights everyone, is David Benavidez, challenge after the challenge.
Sport has run a circus route since Floyd Mayweather Jr. He began a tendency in 2018, when he fought the novice Conor McGregor in Nevada in a professional struggle for Nevada sanctioned by the commission to break the Rocky Marciano record. From there, the circus lasted, and YouTubers entertain sport, and Francis Ngannou fights with Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.
Canelo decides to defend his unified titles of super medium weight against the former 154-Funt champion Jermell Charlo, and now he is expected to face Trystka Crawford in September. Even if the fight could not happen in Nevada, Canelo can find a country or country that would sanction him.
“When he intended to fight the Caleba plant, they said that Caleb would make him look bad. Boo Boo intends to take him to school and make him look witty. David Morrell from the great school of Cuba. Those warriors whom you see only every 30 years, and looks at what happened. There are types of fights that people want to see,” said Jose Sr.
“Here they do a circus, and Canelo does what he wants. Good for him. The organizers allow it. It does not matter what people say. They are still doing it,” said Benavidez Sr.

October/November Trilogy Bivol-Betiview: Do Bivol Ciszy doubt the third meeting?
Published
57 minutes agoon
May 12, 2025
Eddie Hearn says that the match of the trilogy between IBF, WBA and WBO Airy Heavywegt Champion Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev will take place in October or November. He states that Bivol (24-1, 12 KO) “experiences” a slight injury, which he suffered in his victory over Beterbaiev (21-1, 20 KO) in their rematch on February 22.
Hearn says that he has already talked to Turki Alalshikh about the trilogy and believes that Bivol will be “”Do an even better job “ In the third fight with Beterbiev. It’s doubtful. Bivol will not stand and will not fight Beterbaiev. He will move all night, as in the last two fights.
Unconvincing wines
The trilogy would be nice to fans if Bivol stands in its place, and does not run and hold all night, just like in a rematch with Beterbiew. It was like watching Shakur Stevenson’s fight with Ruch that Bivol used. In terms of entertainment, it was one of the least electrifying fights on the whole card tonight.
This is not Beterbiev’s fault. He was running and held Bivol. When fans buy fights on PPV, they like to watch the action and Bivol is not fighting. He is more Shakur’s warrior. Having both fighters on the same card was a mug of poison.
Many fans are still annoyed by a dubious 12-fired Bivol decision in February last year. They felt that 40 -year -old Beterbiev did enough to deserve a win or draw. Bivol’s victory was seen as A decision based on compassion To compensate for the disputed result of the first fight with Beterbiew in October last year. The results were 115-113, 115-113 and 114-114.
The fans noticed that the Comment Team seemed to favor Bivol. It sounded as if they sometimes cheered him, which caused some to reject the sound to filter stationary from commentators.
It seemed that Beterbiev won these rounds: 1, 4-7, 10 and 12. However, the judges gave Bivol based on his lighter blows and favored his impact style. The judges did not take into account the more arduous shots, aggression and the run that Bivol made. On 12. Beterbiev appeared head on his crime and Bivol looked close to stopping.
Purpose of October/November
“Bivol was also in Saudi Arabia. Do we still improve the fight against the trilogy with Beterbiew?” He said about his Chris Mannix YouTube channelTalking to the promoter Matchroom Eddie Hearn about the start of the trilogy between the united heavyweight champion, Dmitri Bivol and Artur Beterbiev.
“Yes, I believe in October, November. His Excellency [Turki Alalshikh]I talked to him again, “said Eddie Hearn.” Dmitriry had a slight injury, which he passes from the last fight, but I’m sure he would be ready to leave, and I’m sure he’ll do even better work in the trilogy. “
Stop running
It would be better if Turki Alalshikh insisted that Bivol fight David Benavidez before he finished the trilogy match. Of course, the chances of destroying Bivol by Benavidez would be high.
At least it would be a warrior who could cut off the ring and deal with the ugly Bivol run to give fans a real entertainment value. This is what these events should be about. After watching two blunt bivol-bb fights with the so-called best in 175, recent blood must be. Benavidez or David Morrell should be those who are arduous to Beterbiev.

Garcia: Crawford needs a perfect fight, doubts in power against Canelo
Published
3 hours agoon
May 12, 2025
Danny Garcia claims that the power of Terence Crawford will not be enough at 168, to have a chance to defeat Canelo Alvarez for his unquestionable championships with a super medium weight on September 12. Garcia notes that Crawford’s power “did not raise” to 154 in her fight with Israil Madrimov on August 3 last year. He says that when Crawford now jumps two weight classes to 168 to fight one of the biggest strokes in the division, Canelo, it will be “arduous”.
Crawford’s decision, in order not to get up and take one or two melodies in the Super Middle Wweight to prepare for Alvarez, will make his work more arduous. He decided to play safely, sit down and wait for a gigantic fight against withdrawals, instead of risking your skin in front of one of the rivals. What does this say about what the real goal of Terenka was to fight Canelo? He says it is for heritage, but his actions suggest that it is for cash.
168 Power deficit?
“I rate Crawford’s last performance when he went to 154 against Madrimov. I feel like his [Bud] The power did not reach so much until 154. So I feel that 168 is arduous – said Danny Garcia WarriorDoubting that Terenka Crawford has enough pop in its shots to be a threat to defeating Canelo Alvarez on September 12.
Crawford’s power did not raise from 147 to 154 in its last fight. He was never a substantial blow, even at the age of 147 and He looked frail in the junior of the medium weight against Israil Madrimov. Some of them are an older age that bred an ugly head. When you are 40 years antique like Crawford and you only fight once a year from 2020. “Little GGG” Madrimov knocked with Crawford chips with his right hands, hitting his head many times. At the end of the fight, Crawford’s face looked like he was hit by a truck. Unlike this, Madrimov looked like he wasn’t even in battle.
One win to rule them all?
“If it pulls it up, you must put it there Three of the best all time. This means he [Crawford] All four lanes in three divisions are unified. Going up all weight classes to defeat Canelo, “Danny said. “If he wins this fight, you must put it in the top three. But it will be a steep, steep hill to climb. It will be arduous.”
You can’t call Crawford “three of all time” if it causes Canelo’s nervousness because he is exaggerated and is not close to his best career at that moment. If Crawford defeated the Canelo version in 2017, which fought the controversial draw against Gennada Golovkin in their first fight, you can put it in the first 30 or 40 of all time, but not in the first three. At that time, 35-year-old GGG was unveiled. Canelo was 27 years antique.
In order for Crawford to be in the top three of all time, he would have to defeat these warriors:
– David Benavidez
– Dmitryry Bivol
– David Morrell
– Artur Beterbiev
– Jai Ottaia
You do not get the highest three places of all time, beating an antique barn like Canelo, and then you say you are one of the best? Danny must slip if he thinks everything he needs is that Crawford defeats Canelo to be among the great all time. It will not even be in the top 50, if he overcomes faded antique Canelo.
“If he can do it, he praises everything, but I think it will be too much for him. He is a naturally bigger guy [Canelo]. You’re talking about a guy [Crawford] who started his career at the age of 135, fighting at the age of 168. It’s crazy. When he begins to be hit with these bombs, he will be like “Whoa” – said Garcia.
If Crawford moved to 168 and got a few tuning fights to show what he can do, he could have a chance to beat Canelo. He should have participated in a few quick fights with pretenders to super medium -sized weight, Oslyys Iglesias and Christian Mbilli, before fighting with Canelo. If Crawford was physically in one piece after these matches, the fans would give him a better shot in winning with Alvarez. What Terenki does will raise by 14 pounds after a frail performance in its debut in 154 against Israil Madrimov, does not look good for him. He will still get a $ 100 million Paydation, which is probably the only reason why he conducted a campaign to fight Canelo. But when it comes to victory, I do not see this happens, even in relation to this washed version of the Mexican star.
Lost mobility
“Crawford likes to fight,” said Danny, asked if Terenka would be Canelo’s boxing, as he did against Viktor Postole in 2016 at 140. “He can make it easier, but he just likes to fight. That’s why he is sometimes hit. He hits and presses this pressure.”
Crawford no longer has the same mobility as he had when he fought with Viktor postol at the age of 28. Bud is going to be 38 years antique on September 28. He is not an applicant that almost a decade ago, when he fought with postol, until he is packing up to the 180s of 180s, he would not be airy enough to move.

Hearn is trying to quickly unify Ennis – Norman Jr., faces resistance from the Norman Jr. team.
Published
5 hours agoon
May 12, 2025
Eddie Hearn says he wanted to “lock“WBO Master of welterweight, Brian Norman Jr. In the unification agreement at the moment to clash with IBF and WBO Champ Jaron” Boots “Ennis, but Normana Jr. He told him that they wanted to wait for Jin Sasaki in June.
Hearn says that Ennis (34-0, 30 KO) can face Teofimo Lopez because Turks Alalshikh wants her to fight so. He says WBA obligatory Shakhram Giyasov “It’s not a fight we really want“For Ennis. Hearn suggests that they will organize a contract for Giyasov, to go aside, so that Ennis can fight Norman Jr. or, more likely, Teofimo then.
The promoter of Matchroom, Hearn, states that Boots only want “belts and union”. Defense defense is not what he wants. He does not say whether Ennis will continue to take steps with Giyasov or other obligatory pretenders who pop up until he reaches the purpose of being the undisputed champion at the age of 147.
ENNIS probably do to accelerate the process of non -questioning immediately or suffering losses along the way. If the master can escape from extreme unsafe contenders, this is a great way to avoid beating and rapidly capturing belts against tender masters. However, this is a bad precedent when the masters can do it because it is not sporty.
“Blocking” discount?
“He is [Brian Norman Jr.] Absolutely available now. We submitted them to the offer last week. And we even said to them: “If you take this fight [Jin Sasaki]IN Let’s close the fight After that, October, November, December, whenever, “said Eddie Hearn to Chris Mannix YouTube channel About how he recently tried to configure the union between his warrior Jaron “Boots” Ennis and Brian Norman Jr.
“And they [Team Norman Jr.] He returned and said: “We don’t want to talk about any other fight until we fight.” So I don’t know. We cannot rely on Brian Norman Jr., who chased any size because the purse is outraged in terms of what he created. This is a huge purse in terms of what we offered him, “said Hearn.
Why Norman Jr. would like to negotiate the fight against Boots Ennis before the fight against Jin Sasaki on June 19 in Tokyo, Japan? The value of Norman JR may raise rapidly after this fight if it looked spectacular against Sasaki, and then he would be worth a lot more money in the fight against Ennis. That Hearn would try to quickly negotiate a contract with Norman Jr. To get low-cost, before its value increases. This is the crafty move of Hearna. Norman Jr. He doesn’t fall in love with this. They were not born yesterday and they know what this game is about.
“We don’t want to fight”
“We have mandatory Shakhram Giyasov [for Boots Ennis’ WBA title]IN which is not really the fight we wantBut we understand his position. He moved to the side to let [Eimantas] Stanionis is fighting, and then the second fight is Teofimo Lopez, and his Excellency [Turki Alalshikh] It seems that we want us to take – said Hearn.
As you can see here, Hearn already says that Giyasov will be avoided so that the shoes can take another fight. If he does not want to defend against his mandatory contenders, he must leave or deprive himself of his WBA or IBF title, if he also begins to avoid defense against their mandatory pretenders. I know Ennis wants a surface trick After capturing the undisputed at 147, but what is the achievement if you avoided fighting the obligatory pretenders on the whole road? This is one of the problems that are bad in boxing.
When popular masters win titles, they twist their main competitions, looking for defense against their obligatory pretenders. One example was Canelo Alvarez, who did not defend against David Benavidez when he was his mandatory WBC for two years. This happens with Ennis shoes, avoiding the mandatory WBA Giyasov.
“Teo called it. I love the fight in terms of our skills, our chances of winning this fight. I think it’s a good fight profile,” said Hearn. “Jaron is very clear in terms of what he wants. Belts, union and unquestioned. So when I talk to him about Teo’s fight, it’s a bit like: “Yes, I don’t mind, but what about the titles?”
It doesn’t matter what shoes want. He has mandatory duties if he wants to keep his titles. You don’t win them without having to defend the titles by choosing a fight with anyone you want. Hearn suggests that Ennis will twist his mandatory WBA Giyasova and will either fight at the business level with a smaller, player with a low Teofimo exit, or less likely, fight union against Norman Jr. Giyasov for the second time in a row after he was defeated with the Stanionis unification clash.
Paying to avoid competition
“So if we can’t get the title and If there is a way to deal with Shakhram Giyasov, Regardless of whether in the meantime or anything else, we are open to the fight of Teofimo Lopez. I think it’s a great fight and respect for Teo, if he wants to jump and take it, “said Hearn.
Ennis should fight his obligatory pretenders. What is the master that he bypasses his mandatory duties and only fights with great money with such as Teofimo or united matches? Jaron wants to become the undisputed champion in the age of 147; He should deal with his obligatory pretenders, like any other master, and not have special treatment to twist them to facilitate work.
If Ennis already does this in welterweight, you can bet that he will do the same at the age of 154 if he gets one of the titles. Theoretically, the shoes could twist the ranking of younger killers in medium weight, such as Vergil Ortiz Jr., Israil Madrimov and Serhia Bohachuk, if he manages to capture one of the titles aged 154.
Just Pay them a step away from each other forever. It shows what a warrior can do after supporting a lot of money. When they win the title of world champion, they can twist any of the unsafe compulsory rivals to choose and choose various warriors or masters they want to fight. It’s anti -porting. Imagine for a second what the NBA or NFL team could do if they could pay the main competition to go aside so that they could exploit effortless games. What would leagues be?
“He is [Giyasov] He is our warrior. He is our friend. One thing that we will not do is to be wise and release people, “said Hearn, when Mannix said that Giyasov had already made a favor, pushing to the side to allow him to be able to face the WBA Stanionis master in unification, and not insisting. [Note: Hearn hinting about another step aside deal for Giyasov]. “
Here you go. Hearn suggests a great time that he intends to offer a unsafe Giyasova the next step to the side to get him out of the way so that Ennis shoes can either fight the match of union with Norman Jr., and more likely, a lucrative start with Teofimo Lopez, who says that Turki wants. Giyasov is a more risky version of Karen Chukhadzhian and everything is fine for Ennis, which is struggling with highly qualified Eastern European warriors.
