Oscar de la Hoya promoter has done himself today, giving ancient “That’s what I told you” About the defeat of Canelo Alvarez from Terenka Crawford on Saturday evening at the Allegiant stadium in Las Vegas.
Incorrect lap of victory
De la Hoya pointed out that he predicted that Canelo (63-3-2, 39 KO) would lose the fight, and saw it as a unilateral case with Crawford (42-0, 31 Kos) playing with supergiviation all night. Of course it wasn’t that.
Crawford barely won a 12-round unanimous decision and would lose if Canelo did not go out in the last three rounds. I got it as a draw.
“I told you so. I predicted that Canelo-Crawford was fighting like Fortune Teller. Canelo’s feet were cemented on canvas and he hit the air,” said Oscar de la Hoya promoter this week CLAP back Thursday editionPower about the defeat of Canelo Alvarez from Terenka Crawford last Saturday.
Fight “Tom and Jerry”
Canelo constantly pressed the attack on Crawford, who apparently followed the plan of William Scull from the circulation of the ring for three minutes of each round, throwing sporadic blows. Alvarez’s feet were not “cemented on canvas”, as de la Hoya says. He has always been attacked by Crawford, who required movement due to a fight Fight Tom and Jerry-Type.
Turks Alalshikh wanted blood, shattered faces and broken. Instead, he received Jerry’s performance from Crawford and probably wasted $ 50 million, which he paid him.
Crawford’s “relic” style
Alalshikh would get a greater quality of quality to the money he spent if he used Christian Mbilli, David Benavidez, Sebastian Fundor or Jaron “Boots” Ennis as an opponent Canelo to fight instead of Crawford.
Canelo-Crawford was a very, very lifeless fight last Saturday. It just shows how promoters can do it wrong to make a mistake overpaying with the dated retro manweather style It does not fit in the era in which you have to play fans or be forgotten. I consider Crawford’s style as a relic from the Mayweather era, which does not match the sport today, in which fighters must be a action and have a trick to sell.
“He just played with Canelo, made him look stupid. Before you start with yours [stuff] Oh that Canelo is ancient, just know that Crawford is older. This is not an excuse. [Crawford just] I played with him. Even Mayweather knew Crawford went to school to him. He submitted $ 50,000 to Crawford, ”said De la Hoya.
Oscar overlook a few things.
Canelo-Crawford was a close warriorT. Crawford did not play with the School Alvarez last Saturday. Mostly he hit and ran through 12 rounds. It wasn’t until the ninth round that Bud was aggressively briefly. The rest of the fight was a movement. The results were 115-113, 115-113 and 116-112. These are not the results that you see in a unilateral fight.
Alvarez’s highest CV: 37-year-old Crawford is two years older than 35-year-old Canelo, but he did not face any of the elite fighters at the Alvarez level. Terenka did not absorb the penalty because he was less deadly punchers in Division 135, 140, 147 and 154-pounds than those they advised in 160, 168 and 175.

After positive steps towards making a fight, Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson are said to be moving on after their teams could not finalise terms behind the scenes.
The pair of elite world champions have been linked throughout 2026, but the match-up appeared off the table earlier in the year due to a dispute over the weight.
Stevenson, who has fought just once at super-lightweight, wanted to meet at a catchweight of 144lbs, and was even said to be demanding a 10lbs rehydration clause.
Team Haney at first remained firm on the welterweight limit of 147lbs, where he beat Brian Norman Jr. last November to become WBO world champion.
Earlier this month, the fighters appeared to have a breakthrough, publicly agreeing to 145lbs on social media. Fans got excited, and predictions began flooding in.
Today, Stevenson said that, despite the initial agreement, he received an email from Haney’s lawyer saying that they were now switching back to 147lbs. Haney hit back, saying Stevenson ‘went missing for days’ after they had agreed to 145lbs, and that his rival ‘did everything’ for the fight not to happen.
Whoever is at fault, the fight now seems dead in the water.
Boxing Scene‘s Lance Pugmire now reports that Haney will revisit a fight with IBF champion Liam Paro. The Australian won the belt from Lewis Crocker in June and has since called on all champions in the division – Haney, Ryan Garcia and Teofimo Lopez – to unify. Bill Haney, father and trainer to Devin, previously announced that November 28 in Atlanta was the target for his son’s return.
Who Stevenson now targets remains unclear, though fans will begin to criticise the inactivity. He has not been in the ring since an impressive victory over Teofimo Lopez in January, a particularly frustrating period of inactivity due to a high-profile promotional deal with Zuffa Boxing announced in July.
In the wake of a proposed clash between Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney falling through, Tim Bradley believes one man, who he describes as the “biggest duck in boxing”, is solely responsible.
The two pound-for-pound stars were in talks to collide later this year, with November 28 and Atlanta having been suggested as the potential date and location, respectively.
According to Stevenson, however, negotiations reached an impasse at the “11th hour” due to Haney’s lawyer demanding that they fight at 147lbs.
This, if accurate, would have meant a refusal to meet at 145lbs, which both sides had seemingly decided was a sensible catchweight for their showdown.
But while Stevenson claims he was willing to jump up from 140lbs, the slick southpaw has accused Haney of going back on his promise to drop down from welterweight.
As a result, Hall of Famer Bradley has said on his YouTube channel that, in his mind, Devin and his father and trainer, Bill Haney, are to blame for the fight not happening.
“I’m gonna name you ‘Deebo Dev’ – the biggest duck in boxing. And all y’all thought it was Shakur Stevenson [avoiding Haney] all along.
“Bill [Haney]how you gonna get out of this one? What happened – you got cold feet? This man [Stevenson] gave up the weight; this man gave up some money.
“You got your lawyer involved. You said you wanted this fight – you agreed to 145[lbs] and all. Come on now – Shakur agreed to it as well. And now we can’t get the fight because you wanted it at 147[lbs]. Is that true, Bill?”
While Stevenson comes off a unanimous decision victory over Teofimo Lopez in January, Haney has not fought since dethroning Brian Norman Jr last November.
With 41 knockouts between them from 43 victories, few expect the contest to go the distance.
Wardley, sporting Ipswich Town’s newly-launched third kit with his name printed on the sleeve, was still bearing the scars of his punishing defeat in Manchester five months ago.
A cut across the bridge of his nose, first sustained during his 2024 draw with Frazer Clarke, reopened against Dubois and left his face badly swollen and bloodied.
The punishment he absorbed has raised questions over whether his decision to take an immediate rematch has come too soon but Wardley remains confident he can reverse the result.
“It’s simply seek and destroy now,” he said.
Promoter Frank Warren is predicting a “blockbuster” 2027 for the heavyweight division, with lucrative fights awaiting Saturday’s winner.
Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua will finally meet in Cardiff on 11 December, while British prospect Itauma is set to return in January following his world-title defeat by Hrgovic.
Warren confirmed there is no clause for a third fight between Dubois and Wardley but the Queensberry Promotions boss refused to rule out a trilogy if the Ipswich fighter avenges the only defeat on his record.
“If that happens it’s a natural fight,” Warren said. “That’s what’s so intriguing about this. Who will they fight next year? We want to find out who is the best.”
