Crawford vs. Canelo: generational fight or junk food?
Published
3 weeks agoon

Terenka Crawford calls his clash with Canelo Alvarez “Generational fight “ What he believes that he will “talk for years” when they meet on September 13 in Las Vegas. Fans don’t see it that way.
Fans do not agree: fight “junk food”
This fight is seen as junk food and will be forgotten immediately. Alvarez and Crawford are senior. Casuals, who perceive this fight as similar to Sugar Ray Leonard, moving to medium weight to fight Marvin Hagler, do not know what they are talking about. Crawford is not as talented as Sugar Ray, and Canelo is not at Hagler’s level who fought Leonard.
They consider it strange, from Crawford (41-0, 31 KO), who approaches several divisions and received an immediate shot against Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KO). This is not a fight for which he asked the audience from Canelo. They did not press the Mexican star to fight another smaller warrior, especially the senior one approaching 40.
Some fans perceive this as a way to avoid complex fights that want to see how it took place against David Benavidez, Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiew. The 168-Funt division was emptied with Benavidez and David Morrell, passing to 175. What was left in the top four did not show interest in the fight. He would prefer to face Crawford.
“I wanted to go from 147 to 168 just because I wanted to challenge myself, and this is joy,” said Crawford Ring magazine About why he decides to go to Super Middle weight to get a elementary title with the undisputed champion Canelo Alvarez on September 13.
Crawford omits the role in which he raises for money, because it is not really a challenge. If he were about it, he would move to 168 and take the best pretenders who are waiting in line for a well -deserved title.
If it was a challenge, Crawford would show that he is worthy, beating these contenders in Super Middle Wweight
– Christian Milli
– Diego Pacheco
– Oslyys Iglesias
– Caleb plant
– Edgar Berlanga
“It’s a struggle for heritage. This is generations [money] fight. It will talk about it for years, “said Crawford.” I feel that I got speed above Canelo. I got coverage. It may be size, power [youth and toughness]But I got better skills. Everyone says: “Man, you are crazy.” Yes. All my life I have fought with people greater than me. I’ve always been maneuvering and I always went to the top – said Crawford.
Terenca disappearing skills, Canelo fuel tank
The skills are equal. Crawford’s last fight with Israil Madrimov showed that he was qualified and had to rely on his better engine to win a narrow decision.
Madrimov had a better technical ability than Crawford, but allowed him to fight in championship rounds. Israil still deserved to win based on his more complex, cleaner shots in the eighth round. However, Terenka was a page A, so it was obvious why he won. I had it 8-4 for Madrimov. He looked like the GGG version in the era and could not miss his right hands.
Canelo has sufficient technical ability to win, but its fuel tank is the only problem that could stop him. If it disappears after four rounds, as we saw in his last three fights, Crawford can enter and steal him in master rounds, as he did against Madrimov.
“Crawford, though great, is effective in a welterweight to 168,” said Chris Mannix.
That’s true. Crawford is basically a welterweight, an senior one that may not have enough to defeat Alvarez. Fighting once a year from 2020, it is doubtful whether Terenka will be edged enough to beat Canelo. He looked like he lost a lot of fight with Errola Spence Jr. In 2023, in the expression of a 13-month dismissal to challenge Madrimov for the title of WBA Junior Middle Wich on August 3, 2024.

Gary Antuanne Russell expresses disappointment when Richardson Hitchins avoids unification

Gary Antuanne Russell, the WBA Lightweight Welteight champion, today expressed disappointment that the IBF Richardson Hitchins champion did not show interest in fighting him in unification after defeating Veteran George Cambosos Jr. last Saturday evening. Russell pointed out that he defeated Hitchins four times in amateurs and had a title in his weight class, but he did not show any interest in fighting him.
Turki Alalshikh would have a solid sport if the next fight between Antuanne Russell and Richardson Hitchins. It would take a while. We would see what is it, whether Hitchins is real or bogus.
Hitchins: Business Over Legacy
The answer is obvious. Hitchins (20-0, 8 KO) is not interested in heritage. His career concerns business, which is why he ignored his compulsory opponent No. 1, Subriel Matias and decided to fight Cambosos Jr. last Saturday. Australian has entered the fight with the record of 2-3 in the last five fights, and one of these victories was a very doubtful decision about Maxi Hughes.
The choice of Cambosos has shown that Hitchins focuses on the fight against money and wants to make sure that he will not be beaten. Russell would be incensed with Hitchin. It can hit, be robust and overwhelms Hitchins with his power.
Hitchins mentioned the desire to fight the pretender to the welterweight of Devin Haney and the master WBO Teofimo Lopez, but not Russell (18-1, 17 kos) last Saturday evening after throwing over the overcrowded elderly Cambrian in the eighth round in an unconscious fight in Madison Square Garden in Modern York.
As a guy can lose 4x in amateurs, we both have belts in the same division, but you don’t even want to fight me. Boxing is supple.

Modern money in boxing
Hitchins is now a up-to-date kind of fighters in sport. They don’t focus on fighting the best. They just go after some fights or are looking for payments against fighters who have already arrived.
Promoter Eddie Hearn helped Hitchins in this place, setting him on a supple touch Cambosos. Thanks for getting, Hitchins announces that his contract is in the match last Saturday, and now he is a promotional free agent. He hopes for more green pastures with someone. However, it will not be Turk Alalshikh.
“When Hitchins stopped him, it was pure pain. He ached. He hit him with the first body and his face changed. The whole fight changed from there,” said coach Greg Hackett on Tbise About the victory of Ricyardson Hitchins over veteran George Cambosos last Saturday.
Although Hitchins looked into the ring last Saturday, it is not surprising that he was hurt by much smaller Cambosos. It looked like a fight between a welterweight and a tiny tiny weight. Hitchins can somehow gain 140 pounds on the weight of the ward. But he should fight at the age of 147. He has no strength to fight in the welterweight. It is understandable why he kills to stay in a lightweight welterweight as long as possible.
Hitchins’ size at 140
“Hitchins was already at the forefront, but at that moment you could see that he was ready to cause damage,” said Hackett. “With its size [at 140]You can do it to the boys. Fight 5’10 1/2 ″ at the age of 140. He is one of the giants aged 140. The kind of punishment that he can impose on guys if he believes in himself. “
Hitchins can overwhelm smaller fighters such as Cambosos, but his chances of doing this against the elite in 140 are tiny. Place him against Russelle, Matias, Keyshawn Davis and Ernesto Mercado, and he will probably be unveiled. This may be the reason why he did not want to fight with any of them. He looked good against Cambosos, but almost everyone would. The last opponent of Cambosos, the little -known Australian national warrior, Jake Wylie, gave him attacks.
“I think a fight is a great fight,” Greg said about the fight between Hitchins and Devin Haney. “None of them is known as a great puncher. They are both boxers. They both have a good height and long shoulders, but the mentality of two thinkers. That night they will be fighters. Get to the point where they will realize:” I can’t think about it now. “

Great fighters are scarce when they are still in a perfect career. Four great fighters met in two matches. The only thing was that they were both masters, not in the best shape.
Future World Heavyweight Champion Rocky “The Brockton Blockbuster” Marciano had 37-0 when he met Joe “Brown Bomber” Louis, 66-2 with 52 downtime in October 1951 at Madison Square Garden. Louis lost the title with the former master Ezzzard “The Cincinnati Cobra” Charles, 66-5-1, at the Yankee stadium in Up-to-date York, in September 1950 his record was still good, but not quite a warrior he was once. He won eight fights since losing for the second time in his career. There was no title at the stake.
After seven rounds, Marciano overtook cards 4-2, 5-2 and 4-3. In the eighth round he dropped Louis with his left hook on the 8th Hold from Judge Rudy Goldstein. Then Marciano sent Louis through the ropes to the knockout. There was no number; The fight is over.
Marciano adored Louis, and in the cloakroom he dropped tears. Louis never fights again.
Five fights later Marciano won the title of world champion, rejecting “Jersey” Joe Walcott, 49-18-1, in the thirteenth round. Walcott was overtaken after twelve rounds 7-4, 4-8 and 7-5.
One of the stabils of Marciano, Hank Cisco went to the Walcott wardrobe and heard the ring doctor said: “This man should never fight again. He has a broken bone under the eye and he would be knocked out the first solid blow. Tob had a walcott and put it in a rematch eight months later, probably with money on Marciano. In 2:25 Marciano he married a walcott. in the first round.
Marciano ended his career from the canvas in the second round with the lightweight heavyweight champion of Archie “Aged Mongoose” Moore, 149-19-8, who was a knockout king. Marciano fired four knocking down, stopping Moore in the ninth round, ending his career 49-0 with 43 stops. The record reached sixty -two years before Floyd Mayweather, Jr. He detained Conor McGregor, who made his debut professionally without amateur experience and was a former MMA master.
The next match was probably the two biggest pound fighters for pounds of all time. Former world champion with three divisions Henry “Hank Hank” Armstrong, 132-17-8, lost to the future champion of “Sugar” by Ray Robinson, 44-1, in Madison Square Garden according to a decade. He was a former champion for ten years.
Armstrong would fight for the next six years, passing 17-2-1, then lost his last duel in February 1945, ending the record of 149-21-10 with 99 stop.
Three years later, Robinson won the global welterweight and then the title of medium weight. Before points, he could not continue due to heat outside 104 degrees at the Yankee stadium in Up-to-date York in June 1952 against heavyweight master Joey Maxim, 78-18-4. Robinson was on the cards at 10-8, 9-8-1 and 7-3-3 at that time. Judge Rudy Goldstein was replaced in the tenth round due to heat.
Robinson will lose its medium weight title in 1957 to Gene Fullmer, 37-3, in Madison Square Garden. He will end his career in 1965, losing to Joey Archer, 44-1, ending with the record 174-19-1.

Shane Mosley: Canelo Alvarez is too substantial for Terenka Crawford, mobility lost at the age of 37

Shane Mosley says that Canelo Alvarez is “too substantial” for Terenka Crawford and will not be good at this fight because he is not the applicant. If he could move, he would have a better chance of winning. The legs disappeared for 37-year-old Crawford (41-0, 31 KO). September 13 will be a bad day for Crawford.
Mosley: Canelo size advantage
“I think Canelo is too substantial for Crawford. If Crawford was the applicant like the rest, maybe he could have a good chance with Canelo, “said Shane Mosley Warrior When asked about the chances of Teupers Crawford against Canelo Alvarez.
Crawford will surprise when he enters the ring from Canelo and begins to get him. He is bigger and stronger than Crawford’s last opponent, Israil Madrimov. When Crawford begins to be hit by Canelo, he will understand that this is a completely different type of warrior than his last fight against Madrimov. It will be more challenging for him due to the lack of size and advanced age.
“I think that being Crawford is a warrior, it will be a problem. He is a warrior. He wants to fight. He may move a bit, but his heart does not move. So he will have to sit there and fight Canelo,” said Mosley.
Crawford’s aging legs, mobility
Crawford is so vintage and his inactivity hurt his mobility. He fought only one year from 2020. It helped receive his mobility. He felt comfortable when he began to earn millions and made an absolute minimum to remain busy. When the warrior becomes indolent after becoming a millionaire, you get it. Crawford lives like a king, affluent and rarely fights. Now he will catch up against him against the “box of boxing” on September 13.
“If you sit there and fight Canelo, he is much bigger than you. I don’t know. But everyone thinks Crawford is a great boxer,” Mosley said. “He is one, he is the one who is. He is a great warrior. I think he was a great warrior at the age of 140 and 147 and seems to be good at the age of 154. Now we’re going to 168.”
They affect the rules of the Turk’s fight
Even if Crawford is initially planned to move to defeat Canelo, he probably changed his mind after hearing the Turk’s directive Alalshikha about the lack of the fight of Tom and Jerry, including running. Crawford will not want the dissatisfied Turki. So he will fight more aggressively than differently, which could work badly for him.
“He is a champion now. He was in the ring with everyone,” said Mosley, asked how much better Canelo won since he fought him in 2012. From a delicate weighty weight to up to 154, “said Mosley.
Canelo has all kinds of experience during her 19-year career and met with much better opposition than Crawford. There is no comparison. The only two good opponents of Crawford fought during his 17-year career are Errol Spence Jr. and Israil Madrimov. Spence was not the same warrior in which he was a disaster in front of the car, and Crawford used it.
