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.
Shakur Stevenson is regarded as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters on the planet, but one reigning world champion believes the Newark southpaw is ‘terrified’ of him.
Stevenson looked to be a level above Teofimo Lopez when they collided back in January, as Stevenson became the third-youngest four-division world champion in the rich history of the sport.
However, the unbeaten superstar is yet to fight since, despite informing O’Shaquie Foster that he could get his shot if able to defend his WBC super-featherweight world title against good friend, Raymond Ford, back in May.
Foster claimed a majority decision win to continue his second 130lb title reignbut talks for a clash between he and Stevenson then went quiet as the latter signed with Zuffa Boxing, whilst Foster eventually moved on to a three-belt unification with Emanuel Navarrete.
Speaking to Fight Hub TVFoster fumed at Stevenson for going back on his word and declared his belief that the 29-year-old is ‘terrified’ of him.
“I think that he is terrified of me and I think that he hopes that somebody else beats me so that he won’t have to ever fight me. He said it on Twitter, after Lamont [Roach] fought he was talking about ‘it is your time coming, I can’t wait to clown you on it.’ He is goofy.
“He is hoping that somebody else beats me, that is why he was hoping Ray Ford beat me, so that he can chat about it online instead of hopping in there himself with me.
“I am not a bully, but real guys know real guys. You sons, your mans, I beat ‘em up, why you ain’t trying to fight now?”
Navarrete-Foster takes place on Saturday, October 24, where ‘Ice Water’ could inch closer to becoming the first undisputed super-featherweight world champion since Hiroshi Kobayashi in 1969; a feat which Vasiliy Lomachenko is also trying to achieve.
Canelo Alvarez spends some time talking to Mike Coppinger on behalf of Ring Magazine about this state of his career, his October 31 title fight with Christian Mbilliwanting a rematch with Terence Crawfordand more. Read some excerpts from Canelo below with the full video in the link at the bottom.
“He’s a champion and he’s a very aggressive fighter. He go forward, throws a lot of punches and that make me excited because it’s good styles to make a good fight. Could be Fight of the Year.”
On why the fight was delayed from September
“Because I wasn’t ready. I have a little bit of problems with the family I need to fix and everything. And I like to have a pre-camp and then come to the training camp, so that’s why I postponed that fight because I learned from the past, you know…At this level [there’s a tiny margin for error] between win or lose.”
On what motivates him at this stage of his career
“I love boxing. Sometimes I try to say ‘why am I here if I accomplish everything?’ but I love boxing. That’s why I’m here, because I still love boxing and I enjoy it a lot.”
On a rematch with Crawford
“I hope so. If you realize that I always did good in my rematches. So, I always do good in the rematch so I hope that fight happens again…I just try to learn how much I can from the loss and from the other fights and get better, learn more and do better in the ring.
“[I’ve rewatched the Crawford fight] like five times, and it was very close. It’s not that much [that separates us]. But, yeah, it’s very [fine line between winning and losing] but I know what happened and I know my mistakes, and plus Crawford is a great fighter and you need to be 100%.”
Japan’s traditional year-end title bonanza appears to be underway, as U-Next announced a trio of championship bouts on November 29th at Tokyo’s venerable Ryogoku Kokugikan.
Leading the way is some variety of WBA bantamweight title rematch between “world” champion Riku Masuda (11-1, 9 KO) and former titlist Seiya Tsutsumi (13-0-3, 8 KO), who beat Masuda by unanimous decision when both were on the rise in 2023. The timeline here is, as best as I can tell:
And now, here we are. Tsutsumi, who by all rights should be owed a shot at Rodriguez, fights for a crappier version of the belt he never lost in the ring.
On the bright side, odds are we’re in for a treat. Two aggressive finishers with history between them should make for fireworks.
Three pounds south, multi-weight champion Kenshiro Teraji (26-2, 16 KO) makes his first super flyweight title defense against no. 10 contender Jassiel Ramon Amador Gamez (15-0-1, 13 KO). The 25-year-old Amador fights for the first time outside his native Mexico and for just the second time outside his home state of Baja California Sur; his strength of schedule is about what you’d expect, but unheralded Mexican knockout artists cause stirs on the regular and Teraji’s lost a step, so who knows.
Also at 115, WBA champ David Jimenez (18-1, 12 KO) faces former flyweight titlist Seigo Yuri Akui (23-3-1, 13 KO), whom you may remember from his Fight of the Year candidate against Teraji last year. There’s some f***ery at play here; the sanctioning body ordered Jimenez to rematch mandatory challenger John “Scrappy” Ramirez, only to turn around and grant Jimenez a “special permit” for this voluntary defenseclaiming it “has the authority to modify mandatory defense deadlines and grant special permits under justified circumstances.”
At no point in the press release does it say what those “justified circumstances” are. It claims that the winner must fight Ramirez within 120 days, but note their purported authority to “modify mandatory defense deadlines.”
