Coach Stephen Edwards claims that the year, apart from the Terenka Crawford ring, will not negatively affect his performance against Canelo Alvarez on September 13. Edwards emphasizes that Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) has never shown rust rust for many years, when he was inactive, and believes that he would not hurt his performance against the unquestioned master of the super medium medium weight Canelo (63-2-2, 39 KO) in his mega-wave.

Crawford can’t hurt Canelo

Fans believe that 37-year-old Crawford shoots at the foot, sitting off the beaten track, giving power to massif and choosing not testing against the best 168-Funt player to prepare for Alvarez.

“I always like Crawford in battle. I think Crawford will win,” said coach Stephen Edwards Fight Hub tvChoosing Terence Crawford over Canelo Alvarez in their fight on September 13. “I just think it will be too much. Yes,” Canello has a great chin, but everyone can be hurt every night. “

Crawford will not hurt Canelo. Let’s get to it now. It does not hit enough, and if he sticks out, trying to knock out the Mexican star, he will be on the shooting line to be blown up. Canelo fought Gennadiy Golovkin, Sergey Kovalev, Callum Smith and Dmitry Bivol three times to mention only a few fighters with much more power than Terenka.

Effortless Crawford opponents after release

“Every time it arranges, he never looks rusty,” said Edwards, asked if Crawford’s inaction would be a factor against Canelo. “He is one of those guys who never look rusty. This applies to many fighters, but they oppose logic because it doesn’t look rusty in their releases.”

Edwards conveniently does not mention the level of opposition Crawford fought after his long release. He didn’t fight any killers. The best warrior Terenka fought in the last five years, with his free time, is Israil Madrimov and deserved a lost fight in the eyes of many fans. Canelo says he saw Madrimov as a winner. Crawford fought with Errol Spence, Kell Brook and Shawn Porter, falling off from long layoffs, but everyone was washed off.

None of them was near the place where they were when they were in the best condition. This would be a different story if Crawford returned from his four dismissals against the killers, such as Bakhram Murtazaliev, Dmitry Bivol, Jaron Ennis, Vergil Ortiz Jr, Janibek Alimkhanuly and David Benavidez.

Crawford had five extended exemptions from 11 months to 1 year from 2019. The only exception was his last fight with Israil Madrimov, which he probably lost, but he received victory.

“It seems that he has a very rapid processing mind. It seems that it can adapt to everything,” said Edwards about Crawford. “He is like a Savior on a boxing ring. He probably can’t even explain how he adapts to everything. He can simply adapt to everything in the fight. He is a great warrior.”

Who is Crawford to adapt to? When you fight such guys as Avanesian, the car accident broke Spence and his main porter passed, you don’t say much that you can adapt to what they do.

Signs of the fall of Crawford

“Sure,” Edwards said asked if Crawford has any advantages about Canelo. “Better strength, better condition and better feet. Of course, Canelo is a more hard puncher and probably a stronger guy. But I think he [Crawford] It has better dexterity and greater agility. It will be better in later rounds. He is a little higher and his arms are longer. Yes, I think he has many advantages. “

Stephen is right that Crawford has better strength, arm length and height than Canelo. However, he did not look so agile or skillful in his fight with Israil Madrimov. He looked as if he had rust in the joints from idleness. This happens when the warrior takes a year free between fights for five consecutive years. If Crawford was busy, fighting three times a year, he would not have this problem.

“I do not agree with this. I think Crawford will be a stronger warrior in later rounds. I think the early part of the fight is a place where he must be careful,” said Edwards. “I think that the early part of the fight can be cut, if it is not cautious. But I think it works better in later rounds than Canelo.”

Crawford did not look mighty in 11 and 12 rounds against “Little GGG” Israil Madrimov in August last year. He brightened his right hands and resembled a 40-year-old. There was nothing mighty in the way Crawford looked in the last two rounds and definitely did not look youthful, unless you compare it to one of the long -lasting Huge pool treeswho are over 4000 years elderly.
