Too huge, too rapid?

Crawford ate his way until 168 because he quickly gained weight from the last fight in August. It no longer looks toned and you can say that he fed power. Crawford just looks like a typical warrior he has He was in a feed bagExcessively, thinking that it can transform into a super medium weight, eating alone.

He says that Crawford will decrease to 168 to earn weight, and then hydrate until the mid-1970s to challenge Canelo (62-2-2, 39 KO) for his belts. This additional weight that Crawford puts in a fight, will not transform it into another Gennadiy Golovkin In terms of energy. It will not be what he has never been designed. He would be a welterweight and very snail-paced.

Crawford will first conduct 175 in a fight in his 17-year professional career, fighting a warrior who has been competing for many years. In other words, it will not end well for the 38-year-old Crawford. It will be slower, weaker and became stronger than ever it has been hit.

“Crawford comes from 154. He will go 160 and move straight to 168,” said Rob Acosta’s coach Warrior About Terenka Crawford connects with 154 to challenge Canelo Alvarez for his unified titles in Super Middle weight in September. “Let’s say Crawford is about 180. These 12 rounds will go down to make 168”.

Crawford’s decision not to stop at 160 about the fight against one of the best guys in this weight class was a mistake. If he were against the idea of ​​tuning in 168 to get my feet damp, at least he should stop at the age of 160 and fight Janibek Alimkhanuly to feel that he would face a greater warrior with greater power. Janibek is one of the biggest strokes in medium weight and would be better prepared to fight Canelo at the age of 168. Did Terenka be afraid that he would be revealed by an average weight?

Food?

He ate until 180. Understand it. He did not work out until 180 – said Acosta. “It’s a difference. So if you’re going to eat, eat, eat, you are to greater weight, assuming that because you’ve burned the heavier guys, assuming that you can appear at the highest level against the guy [Canelo] which has been there many times and is very convenient in this weight and going down from more importance. It’s a completely different animal. “

The sparring sparring of the inexperienced, snail-paced Lester Martinez is not the same as the fight with the killer like Canelo. If Buda paired someone like that Oslyys IglesiasIt would be a much better preparation for Canelo, but this guy probably knocking Crawford in the camp. The last thing Crawford needs is to start fighting with Canelo in half a sparring with Iglesias.

“The last two weeks of a very camp is always the most vital time, because then the most stupidest things can go wrong,” said Acosta. “It is very arduous to come from 154 to 168 at a certain time and perform as if you had 140, 147 and 154. We saw what happened when it went from 147 to 154. It wasn’t a bad performance.

“Crawford scored a few good shots. What do you think will happen in 168? Canelo was touched by GGG, one of the most arduous boxing strokes. Do you want to tell me that Crawford will simply go up and tidy it? I don’t see how it happens.

“What is he [Crawford] Are you going to hydrate? 175? You walk after this weight. Let’s see what will happen when you enter there with the best competitor, such as Canelo, “Acosta said.

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua look set to face each other later this year in what could be one of the biggest British boxing events of all time.

Another British legend, Naseem Hamed, presented the course of the fight in a surprising way.

Fury had his ring returned within a a decision victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov earlier this monthshaking off ring rust at the age of 37 and allegedly preparing for a showdown with Joshua that the “Gypsy King” was set to take place this summer.

However, ‘AJ’ instead maintained that he would prefer a warm-up fight first, with the Londoner expected to return to action in July, ahead of a long-awaited meeting with his arch-rival in November.

I’m talking to talkSPORT BoxingHamed was looking forward to this match and suggested that a draw could be on the cards.

“Who do I think will win the fight between AJ and Fury? Well, that is the question and everyone wants to know.

“Years ago, Tyson had this awkward style for me where he could make AJ look stupid, that’s true. Now everything has changed. Tyson seemed to have backed off a little bit.

“But with Tyson Fury you never know, maybe one night he’ll show up and box amazingly and do what he did to Wilder. Those first few rounds [against Makhmudov]I was a little disappointed that he didn’t go from the start.

“This is going to sound crazy to you, but would it be unbelievable if I said it could be a draw?”

It is unclear whether Fury will also fight in the summer or whether he will avoid risking a lucrative romance with Joshua and wait patiently on the sidelines.
