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.
