Eddie Hearn asks Canelo Alvarez at 35 and predicts retirement if Trywford secures the victory on September 13
Published
11 months agoon
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.

Sergei Gorokhov KO toppled after ring invasion in Turkey

April 27, 2026
Gorokhov (16-11-2) had already done damage with large shots, finishing Kalkan (7-0, 4 KO) with a spotless knockout that forced the referee to wave his hand. The task has been completed.
After being detained, Gorokhov walked to the opposite corner, where a fight began. That was enough. The cornermen ran inside, the voices became piercing, followed by punches. Within seconds, many people entered the ring.
The situation got out of the referee’s control. The horns could not be separated. Once the non-fighters make it through the ropes, the result will be written in the record books.
The footage showed flying chairs and people trading on ropes as security tried to take control of the situation. The recording shows objects thrown near the ropes. The announcements to stop the fight didn’t change anything. The ring is already gone.
The sanctioning authority has confined powers and the ruling follows standard procedure. When the ropes are broken and extra hands are involved, the score cannot stand and is removed from the scoresheet.
An investigation is ongoing and suspensions and penalties are expected once reports are submitted. The verdict now comes from the officials, not the blows that ended it.
Kalkan keeps his undefeated record in the books. Gorokhov leaves without the victory he earned. Disciplinary action is expected following the investigation.

Oleksandr Usyk said he “can’t run away” from the newly emerged title challenger: “I will bully him”

April 27, 2026
Although Oleksandr Usyk presented his three-fight plan, a recent challenger entered the fight with hopes of taking a shot at the Ukrainian and winning the unified world heavyweight titles.
Next month’s meeting with Dutch kickboxer Rico Verhoeven kicks off what Usyk envisioned as a series of three hand-picked fights before his planned retirement in 2027, with his next dance partner being the winner of Fabio Wardley vs. Daniel Dubois.
However, the WBC is expected to demand that Usyk fight mandatory challenger Agit Kabayel in his next fight, and promoter Frank Warren believes he will be stripped of his belt if he fails to face the undefeated German.
Meanwhile, the WBA and IBF titles are not on the line against Verhoeven, which has fight fans wondering whether Usyk could soon be stripped of those belts as well.
Although if Usyk defends the WBA crown, Jarrell Miller will be waiting for him after him on Saturday evening he defeated Lenier Pero in the WBA eliminator final rise to title contention.
I’m talking to Fighting Hub TV after “Gigantic Baby” won, he told Usyk that there was nowhere to run or hide when fighting him.
“He’s a great fighter, man, but when you’re fighting a bully like me, there’s nowhere to run or hide. Usyk doesn’t really have crazy punching power, and he has trouble with guys who punch to the body and throw a lot of punches.”
This performance [against Pero] it was just a taste of what I could do. So the most essential thing is to go back and get the drawing board back. Let’s work and be ready for everyone.
I want Usyk to come back after the Rico fight and I can spank him.
If Usyk loses the WBA title, Miller could find himself in line for a title fight with current WBA Regular titleholder Murat Gassiew, who expected to be promoted to full champion. Although Moses Itauma would probably get the first shot at the proposed scrap with the Russian.

David Benavidez has no room for error in the fight against Ramirez

Benavidez enters Saturday’s fight with Gilberto Ramirez in a situation where even a tiny defeat may have a higher price than one defeat in history. Greater opportunities lie ahead, but those plans depend on beating Ramirez cleanly and leaving Las Vegas intact.
Benavidez will meet Ramirez on May 2 in Las Vegas in a fight for Ramirez’s WBA and WBO cruiserweight titles for $79.99. On paper, this is a bold move as Benavidez makes the jump from lightweight heavyweight to challenge an established titleholder who has already established himself in the division.
The pressure on Benavidez goes far beyond physical titles. For months, his name has been linked to huge opportunities at 175 pounds, most notably a clash with Dmitry Bivol. A loss to Ramirez would immediately derail those plans, forcing Benavidez into a rebuilding phase and delaying any significant career moves for the foreseeable future.
Winning in an ugly or narrow way can still invite skepticism. Benavidez is known for his constant pressure and high efficiency, and recently he has had a record of immaculate shots and has been forced to persevere in hard moments. Facing naturally larger opponents makes these defensive mistakes much more steep in the long run.
Ramirez may lack elite strength, but he has the experience and durability of a seasoned cruiserweight. He also enters the ring with much less weight on his shoulders than the challenger. All the pressure to perform rests entirely on Benavidez.
Therefore, the risk for Benavidez is much higher than for the man holding the belts. A victory will ensure that his path to mass fights remains clear, while any other result could immediately ruin his momentum and force him to spend time fighting Ramirez again. Getting stuck twice in the Ramirez fight would be a nightmare for Benavidez.
