Terenka Crawford showed his greater figure and movements, which he plans to exploit when he raises two divisions from 154 to 168 to challenge WBA, WBC and WBO Super Middle Wich Champion Canelo Alvarez [or perhaps four] Titles on September 13 in Las Vegas.

Avoidance tactics

Still looking like a younger medium weight, Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) today showed a lot of movement in its tiny training clip. It is believed that it will be larger, stronger and younger Canelo (62-2-2, 39 KO) to stay outside the fire line. Fans of ignorance of Crawford’s career know him mainly from the fight against Errol Spence and they mistakenly believe that he always fought aggressively in this way.

Crawford was not fighting. He was simply aggressive in this one fight, because he faced a sluggish, tired weight, broken up by the car version of Spence, which was an uncomplicated victim. Usually Crawford fights, as he did against Israil Madrimov, boxing, playing chess and making it uninteresting.

Terena will sit for a year, not fighting than to move to 168 to fight one of the best pretenders, such as Olsleys Iglesias, Diego Pacheco or Christian Mbilli. If he did this, he could remain sharply, acclimatize to the Super Middle Wweight Division and show the fans that it is not only about obtaining a retirement withdrawal.

For boxing fans who have their heads on the shoulders, this is the only conclusion that you can draw. Crawford says that he moves to 168 to fight Canelo for heritage, to prove its size, but first does not fight in the division.

Heritage or money?

What’s more, he plans to leave the 168 pounds division after retiring or returning to 154. This makes it seem obvious that it is about money. If Crawford does not do it for money, why will he not take tuning at 168 first?

It would be great for people who order this event at PPV if Crawford came to fight rather than run on the ring, like a 154-pit Jermell Charlo, when he moved at 14 pounds to challenge Canelo’s challenge for belts in 2023. Jermell was like a larger, stronger version of Crawford, but he did not want to not mix it with Alvarez after in combat early. He spent most of the fight in motion, running and the fans were furious.

Crawford showed no power in his move to 154 of August 147 last year against Israil Madrimov, and his face looked badly dressed at the end of the fight. It was almost as bad as Vergil Ortiz Jr’s face when he fought Madrimov last Saturday.

Vergil Jr. He did a better job, defeating Madrimov than Crawford, but he was younger and more willing to get involved. Crawford fought defensively and still had many penalties.

Teofimo Lopez Jr. He is a champion of WBO in the welterweight. Lopez is a former WBO, WBA and IBF Lightweight champion. He won the WBO Junior Wytreight title with a unanimous victorious decision over Josh Taylor in June 2023.

As an amateur, the Lopez boxer won the National Golden Gloves 2015.

Former world champion of many weight, Mikey Garcia, believes that Terenka Crawford must firm on his fight with the United Master of the super medium weight Canelo Alvarez on September 13. Mikey wants to see the Crawford box (41-0, 31 KO), change their attitudes and angles to Outsmart Canelo (62-2-2, 39 KO).

On the other hand, Mikey says Crawford will get “Money bags“In your fight with Canelo and that’s what it is. Even if the 38-year-old 38-year-old Crawford is concerned by Canelo, he will return home with lots of money. The fans will be bad, but only those who are not aware of what this fight really is – not sport. In sport, an athlete must get a chance to compete for gold. Crawford doesn’t. This is a celebrity match.

Garcia thinks that Crawford should not flood this fight because he will not be a stronger warrior against Canelo. In his last fight with the former WBA champion, the younger medium weight champion Israil Madrimov on August 3, Terenka showed that his power was not the same in 154 as in 147 and other weight classes.

No tuning

Crawford goes another two divisions after releasing from 1 -year fighting Canelo in 168, probably will cause his power to be even less significant in this weight class. Terenka showed that he is not fighting for acclimatization in a super medium weight or simply be acute. He would prefer to sit and wait, making some fans suspecting that his main goal of this fight is bankingTo exploit people who pay him a lot of money.

Dear thing for Crawford to do them, because the boxing audience and he would be to achieve until 168 and defeat the best pretender to experience before meeting Canelo in September. The fight is already guaranteed for Crawford. So what does he have to lose, first receiving the melody? Turks Alalshikh will not change their minds about the fight against Canelo-Crawford, if Terenka loses in the fight for a warm-up. Crawford’s resistance to Tune up explains that it is all about money for him, adding to his retirement socket egg, with Golden handshake Corporations give presidents when they go out the door.

“Crawford is very talented, one of the most talented fighters I’ve seen. I think the size is critical at the moment, because you have already seen a bit when he fought Madrimov – said Mikey Garcia Warrior About the fact that Crawford is a bit too diminutive to fight Canelo Alvarez in Super Middle weight. “It wasn’t Crawford we saw.”

The size is critical in this fight. We saw Israil Madrimov easily made the weaker shots of Crawford and lit it, thanks to which his head looks like an vintage -fashioned pinball machine. Crawford has no power at the age of 154 and will definitely not be in 168. That is why he will not tune up and stop talking about the willingness of the undisputed in the age of 154.

“Now the transfer of two additional classes will be a substantial challenge, but they both return home with bags full of money. That’s all that counts. They will face their biggest challenge, but you will leave with all this money, and then just experience there, the same win.

“I’m saying a box. Do not try to face strength and size when you fight Canelo. I really like to see him [Crawford]. Don’t try to be as forceful as Canelo. Box, box, box. Be elusive or quick and exploit your experience. Turn Southpaw and return to right and mistake Canelo. That’s what you have for you.

“Canelo has a size. Fighting combinations, pressure and exploit of advantage to be heavier all night. Apply your power. This is how Canelo must do, “Mikey said.

Lifeless fight?

We have already heard from coach Crawford, Brian “Bomac” McIntyre, about the game plan Canelo Fight. Bomac said that they would follow the plans of Floyd Mayweather Jr. And Dmitry Blivol by boxing, stabbing, moving and holding Canelo to stop him from landing. It will be an ugly fight, very lifeless to watch, and the fans will feel as if they were cheated.
