Promoter Eddie Hearn says that Canelo Alvarez does not seem to have this desire at the age of 35, and he feels that he can retire if Crawford defeats him on September 13. He chooses Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) to defeat Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KO) because he sees him as “fresh and more physically preserved warrior of them.

Crawford fought Only two good opponentsErrol Spence and Israil Madrimov, during his long 17-year career, while Canelo fought over 20. There is a huge difference in the opposition level, which was fought by the Mexican star compared to Terenka. That is why he is a bigger star. He took the risk, which Crawford is not. This year, the inactive seat shows the lack of risk taking Crawford. Departing from Nebraska, there is no same ambitions that Canelo has shown.

He is a good speaker, but he did not show readiness to test, raising the weight earlier in his career. When Crawford finally took the risk, approaching 154, he made his dubious decision over Madrimov and began to press on paying against Canelo. Lack of desire to people to risk in his career makes him unworthy Being one of the great all time.

Physical decrease in Canelo

“Not only the fact that he could not cut off the ring [against William Scull]. I just feel time and age – said Eddie Hearn Fight Hub tv About what caused him to choose Trywford over Canelo Alvarez to fight on September 13. “Canelo is amazing. Not only because of his ability and what he achieved, but also the fact that he still wants these training camps and fighting.”

The way Cuban Scull moved in the fight against Canelo on May 3, very few warriors could reach him, or without catching his quick meters. Not only did he move well, but his hand speed, power and counterattack were at the highest level. Alvarez stopped risking after he was caught early on some Sculla meters, and made him realize that he was too powerful to risk.

“I just feel that the desire is a bit disappearing, not because of his love for [boxing]But only because of his age and life, “said Hearn.” Crawford’s fight will definitely be missing for it. I don’t think he wanted to lose to Crawford, a much smaller guy because he is at the end of the road. The fight is so huge and the money is so great that he has to take her. I assume that after this fight he retires. “

It seemed obvious that Canelo’s motivation was not his last three fights with Scull, Edgar Berlang and Jaime Munguia. He was seen as favorite in these fights, and few fans gave these warriors every time they defeated Canelo. The fights that Alvarez achieved well in the past are those in which he was seen as a strenuous time.

Motivational questions

“Why should you continue? You fight Crawford. Who else is for Canelo to fight? Do you think Benavide will return to 168?” Hearn said. “I don’t think Canelo would like to lose again [David] Benavidez, because he is not a warrior he was. There are many pride for these guys. “

There are many other fighters to fight after Crawford. It is nothing compared to fighters who want to see the fight in Canelo. The Mexican star is fighting Crawford just because Turks Alalshikh wanted to see her. If we talk about fights that boxing audience wants to see in the USA and elsewhere, they are fighters who are interested in much more than the novelty of Crawford:

– David Benavidez
– Jaron Ennis
– Dmitryry Bivol
– Artur Beterbiev
– Jai Ottaia
– Chris Eubank Jr.
– Conor Benn
– David Morrell
– Edgar Berlanga: *Rematch
– Hamzah Sheeraz

A huge fortune of Alvarez

“He earned a huge amount of money. Maybe she just fought in Saudi Arabia, against a negative opponent [William Scull]And all such things – said Hearn about Canelo. “I sat next to the kennel of the whole fight and thought:” I think he will be [Crawford] He probably beat him. “

Apparently Fortuna Canelo is $ 275 millionAnd it will probably double if he ends the remaining three fights with a contract with Turka Alalshikh and will continue to fight a little longer. Canelo will probably retire nearly $ 600 million with a fortune.

“Don’t get me wrong. This is a very complex fight for both guys. Great fight. Terenka Crawford and Ring IQ, and he looks like a newborn, fresh warrior, although they are 36 years senior [Canelo] and 38 [Crawford]. It’s amazing, “said Hearn.

Crawford has become better and looks 10 years younger than Canelo. This is a combination of genetics and terrain that fought for a much weaker opposition. If he had complex fights that Canelo had, he would not be a warrior he is today.

Canelo’s most complex opponents

– Dmitryry Bivol
– Edgar Berlanga
– Gennadiy Golovkin X 3
– Miguel Cotto
– Callum Smith
– Jaime Mungia
– Caleb plant
– Billy Joe Saunders
– trout Austin
– Floyd Mayweather Jr.
– Sergey Kovalev
– Liam Smith
– Jose Miguel Cotto

“We had a fight [Canelo-Scull] Very close. Don’t get me wrong. Canelo won. After eight rounds they set the result of Chris Mannix on the screen and it was an eight -person Canelo. He [Crawford] It was like: “I have Sculla winning the fight at this stage.” In the end he did nothing more, and Canelo did a little more and won the back end of the fight, but he was very close, “said Hearn.

Canelo definitely won the rounds in the last half of the fight, when Scull basically gave up the attempt to win and play safely. However, Alvarez still looked impoverished, throwing little blows and simply shuffling ahead like a person much older than his chronological age 34. Physically, Canelo resembled a warrior in the mid-1940s. His last fight with Edgar Berlanga pulled something out of him, eating great shots from much younger and larger 193-Funts of Brooklyn, coming from Novel York. A hit by a newborn warrior the size of cruisers is not good for a thirty person, such as Canelo.

Crawford IQ ring

“115-113, 116-112, I think it’s true, but Bud is watching this fight and goes:” Oh “. His IQ ring is amazing and watches this fight, goes, “I know exactly how to beat him. ‘Now doing it is different, and the divergence of weight will of course be a problem. But I think he actually turned into a favorite. “

Crawford knows how to beat Canelo, but he won’t do it unless he manages to enter the trenches and snails with him. If he thinks he gets a inexpensive victory over Canelo, it doesn’t happen. He has to go to war and makes ponderous shots, which are more complex than the “Little GGG” Israil Madrymov repeatedly hit him in August in Los Angeles.

“I think he [Crawford] He can win. Everything is just on the rush. Canelo is fighting Scull. He probably wasn’t very motivated. So he is a great competitor. I don’t think he ever wanted to fight Crawford, and not because he is afraid of Crawford. Just because he thought: “Why should I fight a guy for two or three divisions lower than me? If I beat him, no one will give me any recognition and I hate removal. He hates the fight against moving,” said Hearn.

You cannot blame the Canelo performance against Scull because of the lack of motivation, because he looked almost so bad in his previous two fights with Edgar Berlang and Jaime Munguia. It’s age and impoverished cardio. He is not a warrior he was in 2016 until 2021. He lost a lot of punishment in battles, a training camp and natural aging.

Fighters in the mid -1930s, such as Canelo, are usually above the hill and leave the sport. Only a few few fight success and go away. Canelo extended his time at the top for selective matches.

Katie Taylor has left quite a mark on boxing

Published

on

Author: Sean Crose

While it’s true that many female boxers contributed to the golden age of women’s boxing, you can’t talk about the rise of women in the world of the sweet science without mentioning Katie Taylor, who is reported to be set to sing her swan song when she takes on Floa Pili. Taylor is undoubtedly a legend of the sport. After all, she won eight world titles and competed in some of the most stimulating matches you will find… among both male and female boxers. In miniature, Taylor helped accomplish what some thought was impossible. And that makes women’s boxing must-see TV.

I remember seeing Taylor fight live at the Boston Garden a while back. That was the only time I saw Taylor get incensed. Her opponent simply didn’t want to engage and it was clear that Taylor was annoyed. After all, this was Boston with a huge Irish crowd. Even Conor McGregor was there. Taylor wanted to impress and was not allowed to do so due to her opponent’s inactivity. But that night she didn’t mock her opponent or show any irritation. She simply raised her hand, showed her irritation, and went on with her business. Then she won the fight.

However, it was Taylor’s epic trilogy against Amanda Serrano that truly proved to be the standout moment for the Irish compatriot. I marked both the first Taylor-Serrano fight and the second Taylor-Serrano fight as fights of the year on Boxing Insider. They were so good. Indeed, there were moments in these fights that reminded me of Hagler-Hearns. That my friends are highly praised by everyone, especially by venerable time fight fans.

It’s infrequent to see two fighters give their all as these two women did in these three fights. These were bloody, bruising, high-octane events, the kind of sporting events that make you wonder how far each combatant will kick. And yet they kept digging. Digging. While it’s true that the third fight wasn’t as stimulating as the first two, these first two fights should be watched as long as you watch boxing. They really were that good. In fact, the first two fights could have ended with any result. While Serrano has never beaten Taylor, there is no doubt that she could. And Taylor probably wouldn’t complain.

That’s because Taylor is a real athlete. I respect this sport. It respects its opponents and is grounded in reality. There isn’t enough of that in current boxing and we will miss it when Taylor leaves the ring. Still, the woman deserves to retire. She has earned every penny she has in the bank, every title she has won and every accolade she has received. It’s one thing to slavishly worship someone, but it’s another thing to show true, well-deserved praise.

It’s almost amazing that Taylor, 39, has fought for so long. She had raw talent full of energy that was polished into an icy, effective style. Overall, it was very enjoyable to watch. And it’ll probably be fun to watch her in her final fight, too. Let’s hope he enjoys his time outside the ring. He certainly deserves the rest and relaxation that he will strive for. There are of course many other great players, both male and female, but when someone has left the mark that Taylor is leaving, it’s time to give credit where it’s due. She will be missed.

Aylor would complain.

Image: Jahyae Brown, Anthony Vieira Fight To Split Draw At Fenway Park

Brown, WBC USA Silver super welterweight champion, and undefeated southpaw Vieira engaged in a competitive fight that featured contrasting styles. Vieira consistently pressed the action and dictated the pace, while Brown looked to employ counter-attacks and keen combinations.

Vieira found success early on, outworking Brown and keeping him defensive. Brown responded in the middle rounds, finding openings on counters as the fight turned into a tactical battle between aggression and precision.

The fight was fierce until the final rounds. Vieira continued to apply pressure and appeared to be finishing strongly, with Brown counter-attacking effectively enough to put the match into question.

After eight rounds, the judges scored it 77-75 for Brown, 80-72 for Vieira and 76-76, resulting in a split draw.

In their co-fight, undefeated Shea “Showtime” Willcox improved to 8-0 with a dominant six-round unanimous decision over Salvatore Pugliares.

Willcox controlled the action from the opening bell and scored three knockdowns, including two in the fourth round. Pugliares spent most of the fight moving around the ring trying to avoid exchanges, but Willcox remained patient and consistently landed cleaner punches. All three judges scored the fight 60-51.

Former heavyweight Cassius Chaney returned to the win column with a third-round stoppage of Harold Roy.

After controlling the first two rounds, Chaney hurt Roy with a right uppercut midway through the third and scored a knockdown. Moments later, a left uppercut sent Roy to the ground again, prompting the referee to wave his hand and dismiss the fight.

Among the local fighters in action, Giovanni Daley remained undefeated after a six-round unanimous decision over Stephen Davis, while Bobby Laing improved to 4-0 after being dropped in the fourth round en route to a unanimous decision victory over Jayson Colon.

Peter Campbell needed less than one round to stop Zachary Calmus, dropping him twice before the referee stopped the fight. Michael McIntosh won his professional debut with a four-round unanimous decision over Steven Farrar.

Elsewhere, Robinson Perez stopped Ayo Martins in the first round of their heavyweight fight, and Billy Cosgrove scored a unanimous decision victory over Nicholas Locantore in his professional debut.

Undefeated heavyweight KO artist is ‘leading option’ to fight Tyson Fury ahead of fight with Joshua

Tyson Fury ‘very interested’ in facing ‘one of the most avoided heavyweights’: “Let’s make it happen”

Tyson Fury is ready to put his highly anticipated clash with Anthony Joshua at risk by facing an undefeated opponent in the meantime.

Ahead of what many still consider the biggest fight in boxing, Joshua signed up for the warm-up and it was confirmed that he would face Albanian Kristian Prenga 20-1 (20 KO) on July 25 in Saudi Arabia.

Meanwhile, Fury had initially hoped to meet ‘AJ’ in the summer, not allowing his rival the luxury of an earlier competition. However, after the fight was postponed, “The Gypsy King” confirmed that he would have his own outing, setting a three-fight schedule for 2026.

While an opponent has not yet been officially announced, Boxing News understands that Fury will likely face another Albanian heavyweight in Nelson Hysa. The 41-year-old set a record of 24 fights without defeat, including 22 victories at the distance.

Hysa – considered a leading option, although a contract has not yet been signed – is both a regular sparring partner and promotional companion for Fury’s stable, having signed with Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions last year. The Shkodër-born heavyweight is also considered a major ticket seller in London.

“The Gypsy King” previously announced that it would return on August 1 in Dublin, likely for the Pierce O’Leary vs. Mark Chamberlain fight if that is the date, but could also appear later in the month.
