Canelo – Crawford Clash “One of the largest” in the history of boxing

Recent York – Canelo Alvarez believes that his planned September fight vs. Terenka Crawford will be “one of the biggest fights in the history of boxing.”

Alvarez, the best boxing star, commented during the ESPN interview after the Thursday press conference to promote its undisputed struggle for medium -sized championship compared to William Scull on May 3.

This fight will take place in Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, in the morning on Sunday, May 4, to accommodate Saturday’s evening of the broadcast for Canelo in North America at the Cinco de Mayo weekend.

Alvarez from Mexico has the titles of WBA, WBC and WBO on 168 pounds. In July he was deprived of the title of IBF. This title was won by Scull Kuba through a unanimous decision in October in Germany.

If Alvarez (62-2-2, 39 KO) is successful and appeared without injuries, the plan calls him to defend the unquestioned average championships compared to Crawford in September in Las Vegas. Crawford (40-0, 31 KO) debuted in August 154-pound effort vs. Israil Madrimov. 37 -year -old Crawford would move up two weight classes to clash with Canelo.

“Just look how much he achieved and just see how much I achieved,” said Alvarez 34 years vintage. “Imagine two fighters with these achievements. It’s huge. Huge.

“And I think that’s why I think it now makes sense for many reasons. Everyone says he is a smaller warrior, but I won titles in four weight classes, so I know that great warriors can succeed at higher weights. “

Alvarez, No. 6 pounds for the pound of a boxer, believes that this duel from Crawford (No. 2 Punish-Funt boxer) may be greater than his fight with Floyd Mayweather in 2013.

“He is a complete warrior,” said Alvarez about Crawford, four masters.

For now, however, Alvarez focuses only on Scull and his first fight outside North America.

“It was a dream of fighting in other countries,” said Alvarez. “… at the moment I feel in my career, I need such motivation. … This is the idea to open the door around the world. And for [the Middle East] It is significant to have latinos. “

Jordan argued that the reality behind the proposed Joshua vs. Fury fight differs significantly from public statements, before explaining why he believed the event was already taking place outside the normal promotional structure.

“With all due respect, but first and foremost, the reasons why there is enough money to do this is, as we both know and have discussed many times, that both Tyson and Joshua have slightly different deals with their promoters than other fighters because they are not subject to a broadcasting obligation,” Simon said on talkSport Boxing.

“So when Tyson Fury does a deal, he doesn’t necessarily have to be on a broadcaster that Frank Warren or Eddie Hearn is contracted to.

“Where is this fight? Netflix, right?

“So with all due respect and I mean no disrespect to either Frank or Eddie, neither of them are promoting it.

“It’s a deal with Netflix that ultimately includes some of Turki Alalshikh’s money, so Dana is throwing her two pence into the ring.

“But Eddie promotes AJ and Frank promotes Tyson, so they must be involved.”

Jordan then suggested that White’s connection to Turki Alalshikh is the reason the UFC boss is publicly discussing the fight.

“Dana’s daddy will promote it, i.e. Turki Alalshikh” – said Simon.

Both Joshua and Fury are expected to return to the ring ahead of their scheduled showdown later this year, with Joshua scheduled to fight on July 25, with Fury also discussing a return fight.

Image: Filip Hrgovic Says Dave Allen Has “Loser Mentality”

Hrgovic strongly disagreed and mocked Allen’s approach to the fight while discussing his opponent.

“Yes, that’s his loser mentality. That’s what he achieved throughout his career. That’s why he suffered 10 defeats and I suffered one defeat,” Hrgovic told iFL TV.

“It’s just an underdog mentality. I just take the pressure off myself like, ‘I’m a Doncaster boy.’ I’m here to fight the good fight. I don’t have to win. It puts pressure on him.”

“You know, it’s a loser’s mentality. So OK, I’ll take the pressure. I have to win. I’m a winner.

“He always had this mentality. ‘I’m fat. I don’t train. I don’t need to win. I’m tiny’. Come on, man. Don’t make excuses your whole life. Just train, be professional and go for the win.

“I expect him to be the best version of himself because this is a huge opportunity for him and it’s his hometown. I expect him to be in good shape.

“I think I’m definitely a tougher fight for him than Zhang. Zhang is aged, aged.

“I can also be fat if I don’t train and if I drink beer. I can be fat and be a journeyman and come to every fight and just say, ‘I don’t have to win.’ I’m here to fight the good fight. “

“I think I’m better. I’m faster. I’m better in all aspects of the fight. But you know, it’s heavyweight boxing. Anything can happen and he’s a brave guy. He always comes forward and steps up to the fight. So I think it’ll be a good fight.”

Hrgovic comes into the fight after a tough recent run that has included physical fights with Daniel Dubois, Joe Joyce and David Adeleye. He defeated Joyce and Adeleye after losing to Dubois, with both victories coming after tough rounds and bulky rallies.

The fight will be the main event of Saturday’s heavyweight gala in Doncaster.
