Paulie Malignaggi believes that Terenka Crawford has a good chance of defeating the united champion Super Middle Wweight Canelo Alvarez in September. He says that he initially did not think that Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) can win because he is “too compact”, but he feels that Canelo (62-2-2, 39 KO) is no longer in his leader.
Malignaggi states that Crawford has a fighting style similar to Floyd Mayweather Jr, and he feels that Canelo surrendered when he lost to him in the fight in 2013. The Mexican star is much stronger than then, and it will not be weakened at all.
Crawford’s hunger
Paulie says Crawford is hungry, which gives him a good chance to beat Canelo. Of course, he can’t be so hungry to sit inactive for a solid year from the last fight. Crawford could be afraid of fighting for losing to one of the younger medium scales, and then his great payment day against Canelo disappearing. Terenka did not want to test in 168, which is understandable if he was worried about defeating.
“At first I thought Crawford was too compact. I think Crawford was a much more complete warrior than Canelo. This is not excluded [that Terence wins]- said Paulie Malignaggi WarriorDiscussing Canelo Alvarez vs. Terenka Crawford, which is to take place in September.
Crawford may be too compact to stay in your pocket and fight Canelo as he will have to have a chance to win. He looked faint in his debut in 154 against Israil Madrimov and was consistently overtaken by a much stronger WBA master. Moving up two divisions to face even stronger Canelo, it doesn’t look good for Crawford.
Canelo
“This Canelo is not the main Canelo. This Canelo is trying to steal bags, while half-****-said Malignaggi. “When Canelo was in challenging situations in which he had to dig, what did he do? He did not really dug and went to break the fights in which he lost. “
“He just accepted the loss. We saw it against Floyd [Mayweather Jr.] too [as well as against Dmitry Bivol]. He never really risked Floyd when he was outclassed. He just accepted it. Since then [the Bivol fight]He treated the level of his opposition enormously – said Paulie about Canelo.
You can pass Canelo for his losses Mayweather and Bivol because he was in a challenging position. When he fought the stationary version of Mayweather in 2013, he was only 22 years aged. He deteriorated, agreeing to 152 pounds. During weighing, Canelo looked exhausted and had to sit down to gather. He didn’t look good.
“He [Crawford] He is a guy who reminds me of Floyd and is hungry, motivated and wants to be the best, “said Malinggi. “He has this mean series in the ring. Crawford wants to go to this Gusto. This does not mean that Crawford wins because it is compact. I believe more that Crawford can win than when it was first said. “
It cannot be said that Crawford wants to fight best, because since his fight with Madrimov has not turned out to be interest in fighting another guy at the age of 154. So you can’t say that he always wants to reach for “Gusto” because his CV is too faint to prove it. Crawford only won with Errola Spence and Madrimov to prove that he was fighting the best.
He didn’t want to move to 168 to test. If Terenka really believed in himself, he would do it. Crawford knows his boundaries and just wants to pay against Canelo, not test.
“I would like to see how Crawford wins, because if Canelo gets this payment day, which will be a great payment,” said Malignaggi. “If he also won from this, this is too much reward for repealing Benavidez and permission to repeal the mandatory pretender and hold all the hostage belts for so long and not allowing the weight class to conduct its course as it should.”
Heritage or payment?
If you look at it from a neutral point of view without anger at any warrior, it seems that Crawford will not win because of his experience at the age of 168, lack of power and age. In addition, he can take this fight for all the wrong reasons, rising to fight Canelo for a payout day, and not because of his heritage.
Crawford says he did it for older purposes, but it sounds like Hogwash. If he did it because of this, he would rise and fight with one of the best pretenders, such as David Benavidez, David Morrell or Diego Pacco. It’s more about money.
“I think that Crawford wins for better boxing because he started his career in the right way, trying to chase best all the time. I feel that he is constantly being tested. This Madrimov fight was very impressive. Madrimov is a very good warrior. This fight was neck and neck. It could have been a draw. It was a high level chess.
“To be able to maintain this concentration at the age of 30 against this newborn, high warrior IQ with an explosive and naturally larger warrior, it was impressive for me. He [Crawford] Perhaps too compact on Canelo, but it is definitely not close to Crawford’s skills.
“Perhaps he is better than Canelo with right -handed attitude and this is not his attitude. Crawford is mainly Southpaw. Crawford is more versatile in one attitude than Canelo, but is he too compact? One thing I noticed in Madrimov’s fight was Crawford to give more land than usual. Canelo in the Golovkin rematch pressed. One thing that Canelo is doing well is a well -cutting ring. Can you take a smaller guy spacing [Crawford] Because he will need intervals because he is much smaller. I don’t know – said Malignaggi.
Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao and world -class world champion WBC Mario “El Azteca” Barrios For the second time at a press conference in Los Angeles on Tuesday, after a press conference in Las Vegas on Saturday, everything to view their main event, which takes place on Saturday, July 19, in which the PBC Pay-View star was staged on the best film with MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Here’s what the fighters had to say from events on Tuesday at Novo in La Live and Saturday with House of Blues Las Vegas:
Manny Pacquiao
“Fire, determination and willingness to work challenging is still there. I still like to lead the mountains. Not every warrior has such a feeling. This is a blessing because I have experienced so many great fights in my career and I am still here.
“For boxing fans around the world, thank you for accepting me again. I hope that on July 19 this fight will entertain everyone. Everyone here will work challenging in a training camp so that the fans are satisfied with July 19.
“Barrios is a kind of warrior who gives people good fights. Me and he will satisfy fans in the ring and that’s what I want.
“It meant a lot to me if I became the world champion again. Manny Pacquiao always surprises fans. This is my passion and it is very vital to me. I want everyone to be satisfied with this fight.
“My goal is to leave the legacy of boxing fans. I want to inspire the teenage generation who dreams of becoming a champion.
“On July 19, there will be a lot of action. There are many great fights on this card. I know what is capable of and I know that we can entertain fans.
“I was able to rest and it was good for me. Now I came back and I am excited that I can give fans a great fight. I know that Barrios is challenging to defend myself.
“For many years I have been, and even years in which I was not a box, I was still thinking about boxing. I even have a boxing gym in my house and always practiced. I really missed boxing.”
Mario Barrios
“I’m here, I’m ready and I’m not a master.
“All the other great fights that I prepared me for a moment. Defense of my title against legend and I couldn’t be more honored.
“In the face of Manny is something I have never imagined, and now he is here on one of the largest cards in the year. On July 19, it will be a box of boxing that you don’t want to miss.
“This is a great honor for a legend like Manna, to want to come back and fight for my title. This is my greatest fight so far and I am excited that I can take it.
“Come on July 19, I will have to face the legend opposite me. I have respect for him outside the ring. But inside the ring he is simply another man who is trying to take what is mine. I am a master for some reason and I will show it.
“I think I can do a lot, which I learned from fighting Gervont Davis. The way it closes the distance and works from speed and even size is similar. All my great fights really prepared me for the moment.
“I saw people who are heading from Manny at such press conferences since I was a child. He is not too sedate, except when he is in the ring. I know that he will bring him when we enter the ring.”
Jamaican boxing legend Mike McCallum died at the age of 68.
McCallum died on Saturday in Las Vegas, according to the Clark Coroner’s office, but no details were disclosed.
Known as “The Bodysnatcher”, McCallum was one of the most terrified boxing punchers during his career, which lasted in 1981–1997. He retired in 1997 with a record of 49-5-1, and then he was a successful coach in Las Vegas.
Born in Kingston in Jamaica, on December 7, 1956, McCallum represented Jamaica at the Summer Olympic Games in 1976. He turned to a professional in 1981 and won his first 32 fights, and 29 came through a knockout. McCallum became the first world -born world champion in 1984, won world titles in the junior medium weight, medium weight and lightweight, and was introduced to the International Gallery of Sław in boxes in 2003.
“It was with complete and complete sadness that I learned about the death of a three-time boxing master in Jamaica Michael McKenzie McCallum,” said Sport Minister Jamaica Olivia Grange. “I express my personal condolences to his mother, siblings and his children. On behalf of the Ministry of Sport I will take this opportunity to extend our sympathies to the family and friends of this legendary Jamaica.”
McCallum was worshiped for the brutal blow of the body, but he was also recognized as a highly qualified boxer with an amazing chin, as evidenced by the never knocked out in his 55 career. While McCallum wins over Julian Jackson, Donald Curry and McCrory, he was never able to fight the thunderous opponent, because Duran, Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler and Thomas Hearns did not decide to face him.
After winning the WBA Super Welter Wich, beating Sean Mannion in 1984, McCallum created six successful defense of the title, and all this comes. In 1988 he suffered his first loss in his career when he challenged the challenge of WBA Middle Wweight in 1988. But McCallum would ultimately won the free average title in the following year, beating Herola Graham because of a divided decision. Later he avenged a loss with Kalambay before he fought the companion of Hall of Fames James Toney divided in 1991 and lost his decision in the 1992 rematch.
McCallum won the title of world champion in the third weight class at the age of 37, when he defeated Jeff Harding in 1994. He would do one defense of the title before he lost three of the four four fights, and two of these losses came to Toney and Roy Jones Jr. After passing, McCallum was a lasting element in Las Vegas.
Arrangements they have already falling apart In the fight of Teofimo Lopez vs. Devin Haney Mini-Mega August 16 in Saudi Arabia. There is no word about what the cause of the fall was, but it is probably one of these two Prima Donnas priced, asking for more than Turks Alalshikh was ready to pay. One of these two wanted a gold face and it didn’t happen.
Lopeza tough tender style
It was anticipated last night that the negotiations would quickly fall apart between Teo and Haney, leaving them both where they started. For fans who know Teofimo, they are not surprised if he caused the breakup. It is a tough opportunity in negotiations.
“Negotiations have fallen for the proposed fight between Devin Haney and Teofimo Lopez on August 16 in Riyjad, Ring Magazine found out. Haney and Teofimo won the wins wide on May 2 on Times Square,” said Mike Coppinger. Xrevealing bad news.
Haney’s dad confirms the fall
Dad Devina, Bill Haney, published today on X, confirming that the conversations fell for the fight with Lopez. However, a few moments ago he removed the post. Perhaps this is a sign that negotiations have returned.
Both Haney, Lopez needs a fight
These two are now in need. None of them can be negotiated on this fight, because their options for other convincing fights are petite. 26 -year -old Haney conducts a welterweight campaign, but there is a lack of attention -not -noted names that he can fight for the type of money he received in the last two competitions against Jose Ramirez and Ryan Garcia.
Haney (32-0, 15 KO) and Lopez (22-1, 13 KO) looked terrible in their fights on the Turki card on May 2 at Times Square, Recent York. Of these two, Teofimo looked worse because he showed, cladding and didn’t even try to fight the opponent, Arnold Barboz Jr.
At least with Haney he accelerated him in the second half, dominating Jose Ramirez and looked decent. Still, he looked like he had experienced retrospective Sometimes from the previous fight with Ryan Garcia.
