Canelo Alvarez says that he hopes Terenka Crawford comes to the fight and does not run on September 13 in their superfiguration in Las Vegas. He wants Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) to get involved and not run on the ring like his last opponent, former super middle champion IBF William Scull.

Canelo wants Crawford to get involved

37 -year -old Crawford received a message yesterday from Turk Alalshikh, when he said he wanted “blood” and “shattered faces” during the main fight on Netflix at the Allegian stadium.

However, Crawford’s immediate reaction to this message in which he said: “I will not let someone else force me or say how to fight.” He opposes openly Turks with this commentary. Terenka, of course, would not say that if the contract was no longer signed to fight.

“SCULL-EQUE” concerns Canelo

If you are Canelo, it is a good idea to plan a style in the style of Scull from Crawford, which will make it arduous for a Mexican star to reach him with his great shots.

Even if Crawford plans to make it amusing when Alvarez’s impact feels, he will enter the bike, as he did against Viktor Postol and will make it arduous for him to land. There is no steel chin, such as Gennadiy Golovkin, who took the great shots of Canelo for 12 rounds.

Alvarez is afraid of the Crawford movement

“I hope that not because we expect a great fight, the fight of the century, right?” Canelo Alvarez said to the media when he was asked if Terenka Crawford would make him a “Tom and Jerry” fight on September 13. “I just think so. I feel the same. I’ll win the fight,” said Canelo Alvarez to media About the fight of Terenka Crawford.

Canelo does not want the former world champion in four Crawford leaves to move, making this fight like a cat and mice like his last against William Scull. Turki Alalshikh strongly raises the fight of Canelo-Crawford as “one of the best fights in the last 10 years.”

With interests in this fight it will be a disappointment if Alvarez is forced to prosecute 37-year-old Crawford around the ring for 12 rounds. If you have been following the nebrase’s career from Nebrask over the past 17 years, you saw that he has used a lot of movement in many of his fights.

The history of the exchange Crawford

Crawford generally uses movement more against warriors with offensive skills. Canelo’s fight would be one in which Terenca could apply movement to avoid the power of the Mexican star, at least in the early rounds, when he is the strongest.

Fights in which Crawford used movement

Viktor Postol
Israil Madrimov
You need a stream
David Avaneyan
Errol Spence
Ricky Burns
Shawn Porter

“I agree with this. People want to see good fights,” Canelo continued for Turks, he doesn’t want to see non-engaging and Jerry. “People want to see good fights, and I agree with Turka Alalshikh, because people come and pay money to see good fights. Then the fighters come and run all night and do not make a good fight.”

Everyone could predict that Canelo’s last opponent, Cuban William Scull, would apply movement, because he has already shown it in his earlier fights. What hindered this fight was power, hand speed and quick combinations of Scull.

Scull revealed that he was powerful and his hand speed was perfect for a super medium weight. Its power and speed look better than Crawford. That is why Canelo did not want to aggressively fight for Scull, because when he imprisoned him, he was hit with vast shots on the stock exchanges. The speed was disturbed by Canelo, as well as power. Crawford does not hit and does not have the speed of the hand.

List of the best opponents of Canelo

“He will definitely be one of my best opponents. Top 8, 7, 6, I don’t know,” said Alvarez about whether Crawford is one of his best opponents. He is a great warrior. Let’s see September 13. We can put up, “Canelo said when he said Amir Khan predicts that Crawford would beat him.

I would occupy Crawford below these previous Canelo opponents

  1. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
  2. Dmitriry Bivol
  3. Gennadiy Golovkin
  4. Erislanda Lara
  5. Miguel Cotto
  6. Jermell Charlo
  7. Callum Smith

The way Crawford acted against Israil Madrimov in his debut at the age of 154, he lost to these fighters when Canelo fought them.

It will turn out if Crawford will be among the 8 best “best opponents” by Canelo, which he has ever faced. This fight can be better than his clash with Jermell Charlo, because Crawford is less powerful than Charlo or Scull and is undersized. The weight he put on does not make it a super medium weight.

One man who was ringside to witness the battle was former cruiserweight world champion Tony Bellewand he praised Joshua’s ability to turn things around in the fight after describing it as ‘chaos’.

“We predicted round two but I don’t think we foresaw that. That was chaos. He doesn’t see the uppercut coming and finds himself on the floor without knowing how he got there.

“The second one he did see it coming and he was able to clench down on the jaw. He got up and then the experience that he has he used tonight because he tied him up. Against Andy Ruiz he didn’t know what he was doing and didn’t know how to do that, but tonight he did.

“He showed once again there is no quit. To be that hurt in the first round and get up, that’s the recoveries of power. People talk about your chin, but it’s not, it’s the level of fitness that gets you up from the floor.

“When Joshua gets a fighter hurt he’s the best finisher in the division. Whenever he hurts someone they’re gone. I haven’t seen him drop anybody and they survive, only Andy Ruiz. He’s a ruthless finisher.”
