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.
Edgar Berlanga did not bring importance today, bringing 169 1/2 pounds to weigh his tenfold fight with Jonathan Gonzalezem-Wortiz for Saturday evening at Caribe Royale, Orlando, Florida.

Featherlight hefty?
This is a clear sign that Berlanga must go to a featherlight hefty weight [175] Because he reportedly hydrated until 193 to the last fight. He must fight in the weight class he can do. It is understandable that he does not want to move to 175, because all the killers are there. The lightweight division of heavyweight is full of talented fighters who would destroy a restricted guy such as Berlanga, and his career ended almost immediately.
Even with a protective promotional company, such as Top Rank or Matchroom, they couldn’t do much with Edgar if he competed in a featherlight heavyweight. There are too many good fighters for them to maneuver Berlanga around them all.
Berlanga (22-1, 17 KO) claims that he had flu and knew that he would not be able to bring weight, but decided to stay on the card. However, he looked strenuous for months, apparently celebrating his loss with the super medium weight master Canelo Alvarez in September last year.
By revealing that he was fighting flu, he could utilize Berlang if he lost to Gonzalez-Ortiz (20-0-1, 16 KO) or if he tries to win. Despite this, there is a bad appearance for him to miss the weight by 1.6 pounds, because he intends to become a free agent. Saturday is the final struggle about the great weight of Berlang’s average weight with his contract with Eddie Hearn, and says that he wants to sign a contract with another promoter or network to be done “Immense bag. “
If you are a promoter, you need to look at the colossal size of Berlanga for the 168-pound division, his unilateral defeat with Canelo and his frail CV and the statement that he is not someone who will be useful to fight the opposition at the highest level in a super-valuable weight. This is if it can bring weight at all.
It will be suitable for one fight with one of the pretenders, which he will probably lose badly, and then it will end. Berlanga is a type that should be adapted with a destitute opposition, the way the highest rank worked and how Hearn maneuver it.
Warrior or frail?
“People don’t know, but I had flu. I fought with my health and knew at some point, I couldn’t do it – said Edgar Berlanga WarriorExplaining why he lost weight today, reaching 1.6 pounds in relation to the 168 pound limit for his main fight with Jonathan Gonzalezem-Ortris on Saturday evening in Orlando.
Having influenza does not explain why Berlanga looks like a circuitous weight since its defeat from Canelo in September last year. He was always large, but it looks like it was filled after this defeat.
“Everyone who is there knows that I take this sport very seriously, especially in my health. There is nothing to say. We are still fighting. I want to tell my fans that the second is not what it is. We could withdraw from the fight if we wanted to based on my health situation. I am a warrior, man.
“I will just go there and make the program happen. I had many fans here, buy airline tickets and tickets, flights from Puerto Rico. We intend to arrange tomorrow. Target tomorrow. You will see what will happen.
“He has something to prove. Look what happened to Munguia, “said Berlanga with his little-known 35-year-old opponent, Jonathan Gonzalez-Ortiz, who today looked in a pathetic physical condition during weighing, wearing his dad’s body. “It can’t be of us on March 15,” said Berlanga.
When George Cambosos Jnr goes through the ropes this Saturday in Sydney, he will know that he will have to put a huge performance in the ring and will have to be apparently best to overcome the fainted Indonesian impact Dauda Yordan. Whatever less and it’s over.
Over the years, Cambosos Jnr took a strenuous path and knows something about pressure and fight through adversity.
After thirty -seven years, Yord has been fighting for almost twenty years and since he was a teenager. His only losses concerned the Englishman, Anthony Crolla about Points in 2018, lost in the twelfth round to the South African, Simpiwe Vetyeka, Chris John about Points in 2011, Celestino Caballero at points in 2010 and a sentence without a competition in 2009 with Robert Guerrero.
A man known as “cino” is tough as nails and can fight, and when he passes through the ropes in Sydney, he will know that the perfect time on his right hand will bring him the title of world champion, and with them change money.
While Yordan was in five fights in a super lithe position, fighting in Asia, Cambosos Jnr mixed him with the best in the world.
Since the defeat of Teofimo Lopez, to become a united champion, Cambosos Jnr was satisfied with the challenge to face Devin Haney twice in 2022, and Vasyl Lomachenko in 2024. He was beaten and outstretched, but fought the incredible conviction inside who made him a warrior he was.
On paper, this fight is a matching of the proud, tedious va Tward contractor, a stubborn hefty fighter, with both of which they know that a defeat cannot be an option. For fans, it can be the perfect storm, war for abrasion with both fighters until they can.
When it comes to height and range, there is not much. Cambosos JNR is approaching weight, so it can be a little slower with a slightly larger pop in its blows. Yordan goes on weight, but he has power. If he still has legs, he should not underestimate him and must be considered a risky man every three minutes. Cambosos Jnr is not considered striking, so his strategy is to fight at a pace, go to the body and take the veteran’s legs and hit him with impacts until he undergoes pressure. Yordan was a distance, but it was a long time ago. Cambosos is a warrior at a distance and it should be a difference in combat.

Richardson Hitchins says he sees Teofimo Lopez vs. Arnold Barboz Jr. As a fight 60-40 or 50-50 for a 12-round match on May 2 at Times Square, Fresh York. Hitchins believes that Teo has talent and athleticism goes to him, but it is not a strategic way in which Barboza Jr is.
Teo: unstable?
He does not fight with a great game plan, such as Barboza Jr. And sometimes it falls mentally in case of adversity. We saw it in Lopez’s fights with George Cambosos Jr., Sandor Martin and Jamaine Ortiz. Was like Complete basket in these matches.
When everything goes to Teofimo, it is perfect, but it simply develops when his opponents begin to succeed. If you’ve ever seen someone who is coming, it looks like that. They consist and begin to do strange things. We saw a lot from Lopez in his fights, in which things do not go on his way.
Teofimo (21-1, 13 KO) will have its title WBO LIGHT WELTER HEALL AGAINST BARBOZE JR. (32-0, 11 KO) on the card, as well as a potential fight with the IBF 147-LB champion Jaron “Boots” Ennis in October. Losing with Barboza Jr. It may cause Teofimo not fighting shoes, but it can act in favor of Hitchins. It will probably be the option of plan B for Turk Alalshikh for apply if Lopez lies with Barboza Jr.
Turki Alalshikh suggested that the result of the fight of Teo, Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney on the card on May 2 will determine what he has for them in October. In other words, they had to win for his planned fights. This is a great pressure on each of them, but especially for Lopez, because it is the least effective in dealing with stress as Ryan and Haney.
Barboza: Strategic mind
I think it is a fight of 60-40 or 50-50. 60-40 for Teo or 50-50, said Richardson Hitchins Matchroom boxingSpeaking of the fight of Teofimo Lopez vs. Arnold Barboz Jr. May 2 in Fresh York. “Barboza is not flashy. It is a bit ordinary, but he has a good time and has a lot of experience.
“I watch him and I:” He is solid. ” Barboza is solid. I was very impressed when he defeated Jacek Cattell, because he has a style in which he can make everyone look bad. Barboza came with the right game plan. So he is a guy with a forceful game plan and I think Teofimo is more based on his talent and athleticism.
“I don’t think he is a strategic guy. I think Barboza wants to fight for so long since they had the highest position. I think Teofimo is waiting for a fight, “said Hitchins.
“I think the fight is definitely waiting. It is one in which I would not be surprised if he went in any way. It’s a really good fight, “said David Damante’s announcer about the start of Teofimo vs. Barboza jr .. “it’s very competitive.”
