Tim Bradley Blasts Turki Alalshikh’s “Garbage” Undercard for Canelo vs. Crawford, asking “Who are you guys to the hell?”

Tim Bradley is critical of Undercard, which Turki Alalshikh gathered to support the “fight of the century” between Canelo Alvarez and Terenka Crawford on September 13 in Netflix.
Undercard “Garbage”
Bradley says that the Undercard event is “Garbage” and Skarka Turki for not arranging the card, as in the past with the events of the Riyadh season. Tim states “Who are these guys?” This attention was repeated by fans in social media who do not know many fighters.
Turki recently gave a justification for choosing fighters for the card. He said: “We have the biggest fight, we don’t need a lot of fight on the card.” In other words, he believes that the fight of Canelo-Crawford is vast enough to make the base irrelevant in terms of quality. Some fans on X believe that Turki spent so much money on Crawford and Canelo purse. So he decided to turn into the rest of the event on September 13.
Main foundation
- Callum Walsh vs. Fernando Vargas Jr.
- Christian Milli vs. Lester Martinez
- Mohammed Alakel vs. John Ornelas
Foreplay
- Serhii Bohachuk vs. Brandon Adams
- Ivan Dychko vs. Jermaine Franklin
- Reit Tsutsumi vs. Javier Martinez
- Sultan Almohammed vs. Martin Caraballo
- Steven Nelson vs. Raiko Santana
- Marco Verde vs. Marcos Osorio Betancourt
Departure
“For the first time I saw the basis of this great ** fight that is not promoted,” said commentator Tim Bradley canalCriticating the pad that was packed with the fight Canelo Alvarez vs. Terenka Crawford on September 13. “What’s going on? You have already spent $ 300 million or $ 500 million. What is happening with Undercard, Turks?”
Empty card, no interest
It is understandable why Bradley was missing Bare Bones Undercard This was gathered at the Canelo-Crawford party next week, because the fans ignore it because he lacks the fights for high caliber.
Probably the best of the group is the fight of Christian Mbilli vs. Lester Martinez. It was not even possible to resonate, because Martinez did not fight any significant opposition during his career. The same applies to Mbilli. It would be better to utilize Oslyys Iglesias or Diego Paczeco as an opponent of Mbilla, because these two would have a great chance to defeat him. There would be more interest.
“This is not such, Turks. You establish the main cards of events. Every fight can be their main event and you will give us rubbish here?” Bradley said about the Canelo-Crawford card. “Come, ancient. Hey, there is no such thing as in the middle of fraudsters. Don’t be half, doing it.”
It’s too overdue now. Turki already has a set of card for Canelo-Crawford and does not talk about adding any additional fights to bring it to fans. This is great negative because many fans who are not interested in watching how Canelo fight the aging 37-year-old in the fight against a trick.
This is not sporty, because Crawford never fought at the age of 168 and sat waiting for his fight.
I think that in the way Crawford looked in his last fight, he would lose to five of the 10 best rivals in the super medium weight division.
Some fans perceive this as catching money and retirement withdrawal for Crawford, taking into account his success in lower grades. His similar to the equivalent A golden watch transferred to an employee to retire from the company in the past.
“If you are going to do it, Turks. Do it as if you were doing it, Turks. Don’t be half, man. I don’t know anyone on a damn card. Who is your guys to the hell? I am:” Who? “I can’t even say some of these damn names on the site,” said Bradley.
It is worrying that Turk’s events of July 12 and February 22, 2025 had better backlights than the Canelo vs. card. Crawford. The same applies to all four Turk’s events in 2024.
Turk’s loaded events in 2024:
- December 21: Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr uyk 2 rematch 2
- October 12: Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitriry Bivol 1
- September 18: Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois
- August 3: Terence Crawford vs. Israil Madrimov
“The world will observe how Canelo Alvarez-Terreence Crawford Fight of the Century in Netflix. And for this I want to load under Undercard with teenage, hungry warriors who deserve the chance to express under radiant lights,” said Turks Alalshikh to call the warehouse, giving his justified to choose compact skyscrapers.
Fighters that Turks chose to Undercard Canelo-Crawford are definitely “teenage” and “hungry”. However, the fights he added to the card failed to resonate with the fans and are completely overlooked. There is no noise in the fight of coefficients between Callum Walsh and Fernando Vargas Jr.
Social media fans do not talk about fighting.
In my opinion, Undercard acted as a dead weight, hurting this event more than helping. Turki could just as well eliminate the card and left with the main event as the only fight on the card on September 13.
The main event is everything that matters
“The whole basis about talents, because we have the biggest fight, We don’t need a great fight based on “,” He said Turks to Sports Illustrated, explaining why the card has no convincing fights.
There is straight from Turki. He believes that the fight of Canelo-Crawford is a “fight of the century” and that the event does not require massive names on Undercard to arouse fans’ interest, to subscribe to Netflix to watch it.

Roy Jones Jr Names Heavyweight Who Will Give Moses Itauma Substantial Problems: ‘He’s The Only One’
Published

Roy Jones Jr believes Moses Itauma is the most “exhilarating heavyweight” since Mike Tyson, but he named one man who would perhaps derail his explosiveness.
Despite not having fought any top-level fighters, Itauma is widely regarded as a future world champion who can reign supreme for many years to come.
The 21-year-old easily scored his biggest win to date in March steamrolling the typically durable Jermaine Franklin in five rounds.
In this way, Itauma became a mandatory challenger to the winner of the Fabio Wardley vs. Daniel Dubois fight, which will take place on May 9 for Wardley’s WBO heavyweight world title.
However, at this point in his promising career, the precocious talent had yet to prove himself at a world-class level, and his only two notable victories were victories over the faded Dillian Whyte and the overmatched Demsey McKean.
Nevertheless, in both cases, in 2025 and 2024 respectively, Itauma finished in the first two rounds and showed his potential at the world level.
After passing the eye test, heavyweight legend Jones believes Itauma is capable of knocking out anyone in the heavyweight division except Alexander Usyk, who still holds the WBC, IBF and WBA world titles.
I’m talking to Grosvenor CasinoJones explains that Usyk’s elusiveness and experience will likely cause problems for the Briton, presenting him with a style he has never encountered before.
“Is Moses Itauma the most exhilarating heavyweight since Mike Tyson? Right now, yes, I think so. He has the explosive punching power that Mike Tyson had. If you can hit them before they hit you, most of the time you’ll knock them out.”
“That’s what Mike did. So if [Itauma] if he does this, he will knock out most heavyweights. However, in Usyk’s case, he’s a bit difficult to hit.
“Moses gives all the heavyweights a difficult time. You can’t say he beat them until you put them in front of him [him]because you haven’t actually seen it cracked yet, but it’s the only one I can see [giving] For him, Usyk is the biggest problem.”
While many consider Usyk vs. Itauma to be the most breathtaking fight in heavyweight boxing, it’s difficult to imagine the pair ever crossing paths in a competitive sense.

Ryan Garcia is calling for his next fight after winning the WBC title

“I want to fight so bad to fight 😩 I feel even more now that I have the belt. CHAMPION wants to fight. SOMEONE RUNS THE SCRAP” said Ryan Garcia on X.
Ryan probably talks a lot so as not to get stuck in a mandatory defense that pays a pittance. By demanding Conor Benn or celebrity rematches, he forces the hand of his promoters.
The reality is that Ryan holds the WBC belt, but the division is currently a waiting game. If someone like Turki Alalshikh doesn’t find Benn worth the investment despite his struggles with Regis Prograis, Ryan could be in for a close fight, which he definitely doesn’t want.
If Ryan had a “fight anyone, anywhere” mentality, he wouldn’t be in this situation. “Sugar Ray Robinson” would have already signed a contract to fight the most perilous guy available to prove his point.
Ryan’s current situation is a perfect example of a player falling into the trap of his own financial expectations. Because he has such a huge fan base, he feels like he can’t make a “normal” title defense if it wasn’t a blockbuster event.
It’s telling that Ryan’s interest in Benn increased right after Benn appeared to be the one to beat against Regis Prograis on April 11. It’s a business-first attitude. He is looking for the highest payout with the least technical risk.
Rejecting Rolly Romero as an option but going after the guy whose eyes the 37-year-old Prograis just slashed, Ryan shows his hand. He wants a name he thinks he can easily beat.

WBO super lightweight world champion Shakur Stevenson is a fighter that many in the sport seem to want to avoid, but there is one other world champion who is hoping to make weight and secure a matchup with the undefeated southpaw from Newark.
Stevenson became the third-youngest world champion in boxing’s four divisions when he dethroned Teofimo Lopez in January. increasing his success at featherweight, super featherweight and lightweight.
Stevenson was expected to return to lightweight and defend the WBC belt in 2023, but the sanctioning body stripped him of his lightweight crown due to unpaid sanctioning fees. As a result, it appears the 28-year-old will remain at 140 pounds, but if he decides to drop back down, WBC super featherweight champion O’Shaquie Foster wants to meet him there.
I’m talking to Fighting the noiseFoster said facing the pound-for-pound star after his fight with Raymond Ford next month is the “first option.”
“I’m just excited to see what’s next, when we knock him down [Ford] If we lose, we’ll have the gigantic fight that Shakur and I want, and the sky is the limit.
“This [fight with Shakur] would be the first option, but if we can’t get him, maybe a Roach-Zepeda winner.
Foster – Who and Ford will collide in Houston on Saturday, May 30, while Lamont Roach Jr and William Zepeda have been ordered to fight for the vacant WBC lightweight title that Stevenson held until February.
Meanwhile, Stevenson has also been linked with a move to welterweight, but has maintained that a rehydration clause should be included in his contract for any potential 147-pound fights.
