Crawford vs. Canelo: generational fight or junk food?
Published
2 days 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.

Moses Itauma is fighting on July 19, there is no title yet

Promoter Frank Warren said that he wants his heavyweight, Moses Itaum, gained experience before he fights for the title of world champion. Warren says he could get 20-year-old Itauma (12-0, 10 KO) shot for the world champion, but he wants him to develop. Ituma will fight an unsuccessful opponent on the 19 July Stadium in London.
Warren delays the title of Ituma
Frank did not mention who Ituma can fight on the card, but it will have to be someone lasting to get any value from it. It must develop its strength. This is useless if it is matched to a different low level.
For some fans, it seems that there is no real intention to develop Moses Itum. It’s about creating a noise to enter the shoes of a retired Fury Tyson to keep money flowing on the plug.
It is not a real step with Ituma. It seems that his career has been designed for another purpose, which is things of smoke and mirrors, which give artificial appearance. There are rumors Ituma has a glass jaw.
Two names, the aforementioned Francis Warren, Jermaine Franklin and Otto Wallin, as potential opponents of Ituma to fight in July, were criticized. Both are perceived as Hako and nonsense by fans who have no power or talent. Wallen lost the 41-year-old journeyman Derek Chisory. This shows the value he has as a potential opponent of Ituma.
Better ITAUMA fight options
– Filip Hrgovic
– Richard Torrez Jr.
– Zhilei Zhang
– Bakhodir Jalalov
Criticism of ITAUMA duels
WBO decided to give itauma ranking No. 1 after his second round of 36-year-old Mike Balogune last Saturday in Glasgow. Considering the feeble opponent and plastic Itauma, filled with unclear second -level opposition fighters, you can argue that it should be classified on 15 #sanctioning bodies.
Ituma is still fighting a compact league opposition and it is not fair to him or fans that he moved to the first place in the rankings. WBA Moses took 3rd place, and IBF #7.
“Parker is now a momentary champion of WBO, so it will not happen on July 19. We couldn’t afford it on Undercard in Wembley,” said Frank Warren Ring. “We could throw ankle and get Moses for the title of world champion, but his career is a marathon, not a sprint. I want him to get to know his trade. We will look at his options for his next opponent in the next week.”

Fading Power and Speed Crawford: Too tender for Canelo with a capacity of 168 pounds

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:
- Strategic supplies: This is part of the Hitchins team’s career management. Putting him against a guy who has little chance of winning
- 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.
- Zero deepening and attractiveness of fans
- 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.
