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.
Canelo Alvarez came out with a clear win over Christian Mbilli over the weekend, but not everyone thinks so highly of his performance. Speaking to Fight Hub TV, David Benavidez explains why he wasn’t impressed by what he saw out of Canelo and believes Canelo owes a better effort to the fans and those who pay him a fortune to fight. Here are some excerpts of what he had to say below.
“He earns all this money, he’s supposed to be the greatest fighter in the world, right?” Benavidez said. “We expect him to go in there and knock this guy out. We don’t expect him to just go in there and look for counter shots. If the other guy is not throwing any shots, then be Canelo. Go in there, put pressure on, use your defense, use your head movement, go in there — just like how he did it with Caleb Plant…
“So, in my opinion, you’re getting $40M, $50M, that’s a lot of money. You [should] be ready to push it to the limit every single round, from round one to round 12. And I’m not trying to talk sh-t or nothing, but is that not true? Is that not what you guys see? There’s just a lot of waiting going on. As a fighter, Canelo is way better than Mbilli. You guys seen it, he has more tools. It’s just that he wasn’t pursuing the knockout like he should be.
“I think if you’re better than the fighter, you have more skills, put them skills to the test, especially if you’re getting money like that. That’s just the way I think. I think it was a great performance by him but he just needed to — I don’t know, I think he could take all these guys out, could knock them out, especially like Mbilli. Mbilli was fighting scared but you know you’re going to get a guy to fight scared — put the pressure on, do some Julio Cesar Chavez and get that knockout.
“He’s too much of a good fighter to just be cruising like that, especially earning them top dollars.”
Jake Paul putting his career on the line against Cédric Doumbé tells you everything about how little danger he sees coming back at him. Paul claims he will retire if Doumbé pulls off the upset on Christmas Eve in Dubai, though anyone who follows combat sports knows retirement often just means a paid vacation.
“If he wins, I will hang up the gloves and call it a day,” Paul announced while promoting the eight-round cruiserweight bout. He promised a knockout too, which is quite the claim for someone returning from a broken jaw after Anthony Joshua stopped him in six rounds last December.
Paul brings 14 pro bouts into the ring against Doumbé’s single appearance. The French striker captured two kickboxing world titles and collected 45 knockouts in that arena. He certainly knows how to land devastating punches. Paul simply figures that stripping away Doumbé’s kicking game removes the setup that makes those strikes lethal.
That makes plenty of sense for a return bout. Paul built his entire run by taking combat athletes out of their primary disciplines, hyping their resumes, then forcing them into traditional boxing rules. The retirement angle is just his latest pitch to convince fans the outcome carries real finality.
Doumbé does not even need a knockout to expose the cracks. Slipping shots, landing clean counters, and dragging Paul into deep waters will quickly reveal the lingering toll of a year-long layoff and facial surgery. Paul expects his ring craft to settle matters before those questions get asked.
A Doumbé victory would give social media plenty to chew on over the holidays. Even so, hand Paul several months of rest and the right payday, and boxing will see exactly how long that retirement lasts.
Promising retirement is the oldest trick in the fight game to inject drama into a matchup that lacks real sporting legitimacy. It turns what should be an ordinary matchmaking exercise into a make-or-break event, giving casual viewers a reason to tune in just to see if the loudmouth finally gets silenced for good.
If Doumbé catches him or puts him away, Paul might step back for a while to let the dust settle and let his jaw heal further, but walking away entirely makes no financial sense. Paul runs Most Valuable Promotions, controls his own dates, and draws massive paydays regardless of whether he wins or loses. The loss to Tommy Fury did not slow down his business, and getting stopped by Anthony Joshua did not keep him away either.
The minute someone dangles an enticing name or a massive check in front of him, that retirement pledge will be forgotten overnight. He is selling a spectacle, and the bet is just part of the sales pitch.
Naoya Inoue is eyeing up a move into the featherweight division, with each of the reigning 126lb champions seemingly keen to secure a lucrative shot at the pound-for-pound king. Now, after scoring a fifth consecutive win inside of the distance, one featherweight ruler has publicly called for a clash with the Japanese sensation.
Inoue has issued a March deadline to Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez as hype around their potential match-up continues to first build and then be dampened by a possible collapse, as Rodriguez toys with the idea of remaining at bantamweight or challenging for the undisputed super-bantamweight throne.
Regardless, it is believed that Inoue will make his move into the featherweight division next year, with current world champions; Angelo Leo (IBF), Bruce Carrington (WBC), Brandon Figueroa (WBA) and Rafael Espinoza (WBO), each jostling to be selected as the man that Inoue wishes to challenge.
On Saturday, Espinoza managed a fifth straight knockout win in as many outings since becoming a world champion and during the aftermath of his victory over Ricardo Blandon, ‘Divino’ unveiled his plans to either unify or take on Inoue, on the DAZN broadcast.
“The truth is, I want to unify. I want a unification fight. I want to be able to say I’m the best featherweight, and also wait for that big fight with Inoue. That would be a dream. My biggest dream is to become one of the pound-for-pound best. That’s what I want, and that’s what I’m going to pursue.”
Inoue’s move to featherweight hinges on Rodriguez’s next move, but it is expected that the pair will collide in Marchbefore the Japanese superstar ventures up to what he has declared will be the highest and final weight-class of his career.
