Terenka Crawford still insists that in his last fight he put up a “great performance”, raising to 154 against Israil Madrimov, and he feels that what he showed in victory has shown that he is ready to challenge Canelo Alvarez in 168.

Crawford from Nebrask receives a free title against the undisputed master of the super medium weight Canelo (63-2-2, 39 KO) on September 13 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Crawford can move up two divisions from 154 to 168 to get a uncomplicated title without fighting any of the rivals.

Movement, power did not travel

Fans believe that Crawford’s victory over the WBA Master Madrimov Junior champion was less convincing, raising doubts about the 38-year-old’s ability to fight 168 pounds. At the age of 154, the power of Terence did not exist and looked like he was five from the previous fight with Errola Spence in 2023.

Madrimov showed that Crawford does not belong to the fight for 154 or any higher weight class. Terence’s decision not to go to the goal, which is the undisputed in the younger most essential attractions in the average weight, which he recognized that he would not be able to achieve it. Masters, Bakhram Murtazaliev and Sebastian Fund, would be too substantial, too powerful and too youthful for Crawford.

Movement, hand speed and the power that Crawford had in the lower weights did not go to 154. It will not be in 168 without finding the youth fountain until September 13. The reputation of Terence was built mainly on his success in the fight with 135 and 140 pounds. The opposition of Crawford fought in 147. There were smaller fighters and several antique, faded masters. Many fans believe that he was overrated because of the restricted CV, sterile elite names. It is hard to argue with it, looking at his actual winnings.

Crawford rejects the concerns about the authorities

“I thought it was a great performance. I thought I did what I wanted in the ring. I thought I picked him up when I wanted. Sporting News Australia About your last fight with Israil Madrimov last year in August.

It was not a great performance of Crawford. He defeated Madrimov narrowly, gaining a unanimous 12-round decision of the results 115-113, 116-112 and 115-113. The fight showed that Crawford is not the same warrior at the age of 154, that he was in lower weights, and certainly will not be better until 168.

“Styles are fighting. So Canelo has a different style than Israil Madrimov. We just go from there. Not at all,” said Crawford, asked if he noticed any difference in his ability with power and shooting.

Crawford never knocked out an elite warrior in his list during a 17-year professional career. Although Terenki detained Errola Spence and Shawn Porter, both were faded versions of their antique self, used from age, long career, weight drainage and inactivity. Crawford fought them both at the right time.

George Cambosos Jr. He predicts that he will defeat the welterweight master of IBF Richardson Hitchins and Detro him in his first defense on June 14 at the theater in Madison Square Garden in Recent York. The event will be shown live in Dazn.

Cambosos predicts that hitchins are nervous

There were a unified champion of 135-pounds Cambosos Jr. (22-3, 10 KO) claims that there is no money for him. He is already a millionaire after two fights with Devin Haney, clashes with Vasily Lomachenko and Teofimo Lopez.

He says that it is more about returning to the place where he captured his lithe belts against Teo in 2021 at MSG. The little “emperor” Cambosos wants to become a two -time world champion and prove that many people are wrong.

It is believed that the only chance of the past of his summit Cambosos, 31 -year -old, is to win, it is to make him fight the jump, sometimes scratchy shy Hitchins and follow him early. He can’t afford to wait, because Hitchins died and will build a wide advantage early.

When Richardson gets an advantage, he sits on him using his own Shakur style hit-and-myth style To avoid contact. It’s tedious but effective. This is one of the reasons why Hitchins is so desperate to opponents. Nobody wants to fight him because he is tedious, fans booed, and massive money is not like more popular fighters.

George’s motivation: no money

“It’s not about money, don’t twist it, I earned a lot of money as ***. It’s about catching this feeling again and I’m coming back to the same place where I caught this feeling earlier,” said Cambosos Jr. Matchroom boxing. “It’s about proving the world who I am, a champion I am, a champion I was. I was in this place, I proved as weaker and I come again.”

It seems that Cambosos misses the elderly times, when he became one hit with a nervousness of injury, moved by the ring and the unmotivated Teofimo in 2021. Cambosos gave this winning in a fortune, earning millions. He is trying to recreate this magic with another nervousness, although against much less popular Hitchins.

The reason why Hitchins decided to defend himself against Cambosos:

1. Strategic supplies: This is part of the Hitchins team’s career management. Putting him against a guy who has little chance of winning
2. Defensive style without action: Richardson’s defense style makes him a pariah. In the style of Hitchins Cambosos is the best it can get in given circumstances.
3. Zero deepening and attractiveness of fans
4. Recognition of the name: Cambosos is well known for his brief time as a united master of lightweight, he fights with Teofimo, Lomachenko and Haney.

“If you fought Lopez, Haney twice and Lomachenko, when I fought them, they would beat you in the ass, and I would beat you ** June 14,” said Cambosos.

Hitchins vs. Haney would be a drop. Richardson would lose to Teofimo and Vasily Lomachenko, because these guys have too many offensive talents for him. He would not be able to think about his way to the ugly victory.

The fight of many boxing fans is interested in the event on June 14, there is a lithe pretender Andy Cruz (5-0, 2 KO) in the face of Hironori Mishiro (17-1-1, 6 KO) in the eliminator of the IBF title.

Promoter Eddie Hearn was again on his soap, telling the media how great Shakur Stevenson is and surprised that he is not yet “American Superstar“Before fighting William Zedaa on July 12. The promoter of the match simply did not understand him. He thought he found pure gold when he signed Shakura and tormented that he was not moving.

Hearn is trying to be interested in the lightweight champion of WBC Shakur (23-0, 11 KO) for fighting Zepeda (33-0, 27 KO) to justify him fighting Gervont Davis later this year. Much depends on how Stevenson works on July 12, whether it wins and whether he can do it without running.

He will also come down to whether Turks Alalshikh wants to be involved in helping the fight against Tank Davis vs. Shakur. Without his commitment, it is doubtful whether Gervont will want to bother with the fight with Stevenson. He won’t want to chase him around the ring if he doesn’t get involved. He will have to look golden against Zepeda. It starts here.

“I said he was one of the best promoters in sport and I think he proved to be well,” said Shakur Stevenson Sports media YSM About Eddie Hearn.

Why Shakur is not a superstar

“We just started working. Give me a chance,” said Hearn about Shakur. “I said about Shakur before we represented him. These guys, Terence, should be American stars because of their ability they have. The good news is that he is [Shakur] 27. “

Boxing style Mayweather era

Shakur and Terenka Crawford are not superglaries because they have a lifeless, antiquated style of fighting with old Floyd “Money” Mayweather of the boxing era. If you found working time, Shakur and Crawford got stuck in it and sent them back to the 90th and early 2000, would fit. But in this contemporary era of this sport they are freaks. If you are lifeless, you are imperceptible in this era. You have to have fun. If you have a lifeless style, you’ll never be a star. It is better for Hearn to understand that sooner than later, because he can save a lot of money, without signing Shakur to extend after fighting Zeda.

If Hearn wants to turn Shakur into a star, he can transfer him to England, ask him for a false British accent and match him to the fighters. It can be adopted by the British as one of them. I doubt, but this is his best chance.

Sooner or later, Hearn will have to recognize that he chose Albatros to try to transform into a star. He can’t force Americans to watch Shakur. And no amount of glazed Shakur will also work, because we, fans, listen to Hearn, believes that he went crazy when Shakur’s praise.

“It is crazy that imagine that you are a world champion in three collections and never interrupting sweat. Look at what he did [Oscar] Valdez [in 2022]Hearn said. “I looked as a fan. I didn’t know that one day we would be able to cooperate, but I watch it:” I can’t believe how good this youthful man is. “

Shakur did not fight with a good enough opposition at 126 and 130 in his title of victory so that he had to work demanding. His fight with Joet Gonzalez for the title of WBO 126-LB in 2019 resembled a sparring session. It seemed that Joet didn’t try to win. They looked more like friends than enemies.

Shakur’s de los Santos Stuggy

In the fight of Stevenson with Edwin de Los Santos he definitely sweated because he ran in the ring, looking stressed after he made substantial shots at the beginning of the competition. Shakur was close to losing.

Fans booed Stevenson’s performance

The judges gave a 12-round decision, but it was not impressive. T-Mobile fans booed Shakur from the fourth round and continued him when he was questioned in the ring. Even when Stevenson went to his wardrobe, the fans still fooling around. I’ve never seen anything like that. Hearn could not see this fight because Shakur looked apoplectic inside the ring, chased by de los Santos all night.

“He should be a mobbed, not me. I’m just a chunky promoter from Essex. This is a superstar. This is something that you dream that all fighters have such talents. You look at a pure size with this youthful man,” said Hearn.

Shakur did not do enough to be a superstar in the USA, winning titles in 126, and 130 did not impress the boxing audience, because the Stevenson opposition fought and the divisions were not particularly popular among Americans. He captured his lightweight WBC title in an ugly way, moving non-stop in a narrow decision about Edwin de los Santos.
