Jose Benavidez sr. He believes that Terenka Crawford will fight in the same way as Jermell Charlo and William Scull against Canelo Alvarez, running around the ring all night on September 13.
Benavidez sr. predicts that Crawford works
Benavidez predicts that Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) will do so “lifeless,“And he thinks that the fans are naive if they think he will fight” fingers “with the unquestioned champion of the super medium weight Canelo (63-2-2, 39 KO). He says it’s “too much weight” for Crawford.
38-year-old Crawford moves on two divisions after a delicate show in his debut in 154 to challenge Canelo for his four lanes in 168. Terenca should be obliged to defeat two or three killers in Super Middle Wweight before he received the title. Because he does not have to do this, there is no guarantee that he will put in any effort. Its payment is already guaranteed.
“Eddy Reynoso and Team Canelo do a great job. They still generate a lot of money and do everything they want,” said Jose Benavidez Sr. Fight Hub tv. “They have these hostage belts. So they can do what they want. But we’ll see The same fight as [Jermell] Charlo. The same fight with which we saw [William Scull. ”
Jose Sr. is right. Crawford will move like Scull and Jermell Charlo did against Canelo to keep from getting knocked out. His estimated purse of $50 million for the fight will be there regardless. So, he doesn’t need to worry about losing out on any money by not trying to win, and running the entire fight. You’d think Turki Alalshikh would have studied the Jermell fight and seen what Crawford’s game would be. He’s not coming to win. It’s all about the payday.
The Gauntlet Crawford Should Face
What Turki should have done is insist that Crawford earn the fight by beating two of the apex predators before he’d agree to give him that giant $50 million. Crawford should have had to run this little gauntlet to get his golden parachute retirement payday:
- David Benavidez
- David Morrell
- Osleys Iglesias
“It’s going to be the same thing with Terence Crawford. He’s a little guy. He’s coming up two divisions to fight Canelo Alvarez, and you think he’s going to go toe-to-toe with Canelo? Come on, man. Terence Crawford is a great fighter, but that’s too much weight for him,” said Jose Sr.
Benavidez Sr. left out Crawford being old and small. He’ll be 38 in September, and he’s going up 14 lbs after looking weak in his debut at 154 against Israil Madrimov. The bulking up that Crawford did by power-feeding and weight training isn’t going to give him the natural strength of a fighter like Canelo. He’ll be the same old Crawford as when he was thin & wiry at 147, but he’ll be slower due to the weight. He’d be better off staying his normal size, as when he was fighting at welterweight, and trying to use speed to win.
“So, he’s going to try to survive, move around, and try to win the rounds. That’s what’s going to happen. I think Canelo, at this stage right now, the legs aren’t the same,” said Benavidez Sr. “The body is not responding the same. So, I think he’s going to have problems trying to catch Terence Crawford. I think it’s going to be the same fight. It’s going to be a boring fight.”
I agree with Jose Sr. We’re going to see nonstop movement from Terence to try and survive, and get hit as seldom as possible by Canelo. It’s too much weight and natural power that Crawford will be giving away to Alvarez. The Nebraska native, “Bud” Crawford, and his trainer, Brian “BoMac” McIntyre, likely have this all mapped out to go into survival mode, move, and pick up that big check. The alternative devious plan would be for Crawford to use the hit-and-run approach, hoping to win a decision. He’d be borrowing from Shakur Stevenson’s fighting style, but he’d be using it against the wrong fighter. Canelo is too big a star to be robbed by the judges.
“I’m hoping it’s going to be a little bit exciting because I heard that Canelo was the worst fight on pay-per-view to throw the fewest punches in history [against Scull]. So we hope that we will see a great fight, but this is not an thrilling duel, “said Benavidez Sr.
Crawford copies of Scull’s Canelo Style
Canelo-Crawford will be a bit more thrilling than Alvarez’s clash with William Scull on May 3. But it will not be much more thrilling for watching, because Crawford was the driving force of his entire career and will fight the terrified when he tastes Canelo’s power. The way Terenka praised Scull, saying that he shows “General of the Ring” against the Mexican star, it is clear that he would utilize this style as his plan.
