Turki Alalshikh on Canelo vs. Crawford Undercard: Presenting juvenile talents at Netflix
Published
1 year agoon
Turki Alalshikh said today that Canelo Alvarez vs. Terenka Crawford is such a great fight that “they do not need much fight on undercard” to September 13. This is the same method that promoters used in the past mega struggle with the participation of stars from the past, especially those in which gigantic bags were paid for the stars.
Undercard Vision Turki
Alalshikh wants to take this opportunity for juvenile talents to present himself to the undercard for the event of the Canelo-Crawford event in Netflix. The warrior manager would contact the TKO group and the decision will be made whether they will be added to the card.
Fighting the card is aimed at introducing fresh talents. This is not about 50-50 fights. Has Dana White UFC similar to this. This is what he did with UFC, with one good fight in the main event and approach with fights for future fighters.
White promotes the Canelo-Crawford event. So it is understandable why Undercard uses the same model he has been using in UFC for years. Some fans may like this approach while others do not. Those who have become accustomed to seeing competitive fights on the basics may not be satisfied with the given approach.
In connection with the display of the event in Netflix, fans that are not boxes will make up for the difference from conventional ones, who may not be excited to buy an event with a card filled with little -known perspectives.
Is boxing Canelo-Crawford the largest?
It also boils down to how many fans Canelo vs. Crawford. Turki refers to the fight as “The biggest fight in boxing” In the last 10 years, but many people do not agree. This fight is not seen as the greatest.
They are two older fighters approaching the end of their careers, coming out of terrible performances against William Scull and Israil Madrimov. Crawford has been fighting only once a year since 2020 and has never been a draw during his career. It is probably less popular than warriors, such as Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney and Teofimo Lopez.
Although Crawford captured world titles in four weight classes, his biography is mediocre, filled with bangs and elderly dinosaurs. He waited too long to go to 154 and fought fighters at an average level of 147. He defeated Errola Spence’s car crash and next to his main Shawn Porter in welterweight, but he escaped from the division when Jaron Ennis wanted to shoot at the motor title.
Crawford’s career reflects his career Adrien “The Problem” Bronerwho also captured four division titles and fought with a smaller opposition, such as Bud, to capture his belts. It is not clear how long Alalshikh was a box of boxing. If he was a free fan so far, it makes sense why he is so in love with Crawford.
Sees what many naive, free fans Make when they look at Crawford’s confirms. “They don’t see that Crawford fought the second level warriors to capture these lanes and create his record 41-0. You must be a Hardcore fan again to see that Crawford has a feeble, plastic record and that he is false gold. It’s smoke and mirrors with bud.
Choosing the fight Crawford Alalshikh Crawford
Turki likes Crawford. That is why he is fighting Canelo. This is his preference. Usually, promoters combine fights between warriors who know that boxing audience is willing to see. In this case, it is a fight that Turki likes, not society.
When you have money to combine strange fights, you can do everything. We saw Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury fight the former weighty UFC Francis Ngannou. It was Total. Now that. Canelo fighting crawford.
They are no longer able to overcome the best fighters in their weight classes and keep their careers together only thanks to artificial funds, such as careful creation and avoiding hazardous opposition that would defeat them.
For example, Canelo will not fight David Benavidez or David Morrell. For his part, Crawford decided not to fight Bakhram Muratazaliev, Vergil Ortiz Jr. and Sebastian Fund. We know what result Crawford fought with these three warriors. They would reveal him. These are warriors when you fight when you are juvenile and vigorous, not elderly, looking for money to retire.
Recent boxing talents platform
“This is the biggest fight in boxing and history over the past 10 years and maybe more,” said Turki Alalshikh to mediaSpeaking of the Canelo Alvarez vs. competition Terenka Crawford on September 13. “This is a really great opportunity for talent in boxing. We will do the whole talent card because we have the biggest fight.
“We don’t need a great fight based on the card. We’ll give you a chance for talent for this purpose. If you think you’re ready for a Canelo-Crawford pad, come with us, or maybe you’ll have a chance,” said Turki.

Usyk nearly suffered his own shock defeat in May when he was pushed to the limit by kickboxing star Rico Verhoevenand two months on it was nrw teammate Joshua’s turn to come close to a massive upset loss that would have stunned the heavyweight division.
The Brit was dropped twice by massive underdog Prenga in the opening round of their clash in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, but ‘AJ’ managed to recover and record a big knockdown of his own in the second round that resulted in the stoppage victory.
Joshua and Usyk now train together, having famously had two battles for the unified world heavyweight title in 2021 and 2022, and the Ukrainian has had his say on his stablemate’s victory over Prenga.
Speaking to TalkSporttwo-time undisputed champion Usyk praised Joshua, insisting ‘AJ is back’ before predicting that Joshua will now claim a knockout win over long-term rival Tyson Fury in his next bout.
“Anthony Joshua is next undisputed champion. First round it’s a test but AJ is back.
It’s boxing, [the] big upper cut is good, it’s a knockdown. AJ [come] back and win.
“Greedy Belly [Fury] will speak now and say weak chin, Greedy Belly get out. AJ wins [against Fury], [he will] knock him out.”
Fury was victorious on Friday as he earned a seventh round retirement win against Mariusz Wach in Thailand, paving the way for the showdown against Joshua later this year.

Anthony Joshua may have earned a knockout win over Kristian Prenga but the fight certainly didn’t unfold as most people expected.
Joshua was facing the Albanian in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, and it looked like a massive upset could be on the cards when he was dropped twice in the opening round.
‘AJ’ was able to recover and went on to secure a second round knockout victory to prevent the shock lossseemingly paving the way for the battle against Tyson Fury later this year.
One man who was ringside to witness the battle was former cruiserweight world champion Tony Bellewand he praised Joshua’s ability to turn things around in the fight after describing it as ‘chaos’.
“We predicted round two but I don’t think we foresaw that. That was chaos. He doesn’t see the uppercut coming and finds himself on the floor without knowing how he got there.
“The second one he did see it coming and he was able to clench down on the jaw. He got up and then the experience that he has he used tonight because he tied him up. Against Andy Ruiz he didn’t know what he was doing and didn’t know how to do that, but tonight he did.
“He showed once again there is no quit. To be that hurt in the first round and get up, that’s the recoveries of power. People talk about your chin, but it’s not, it’s the level of fitness that gets you up from the floor.
“When Joshua gets a fighter hurt he’s the best finisher in the division. Whenever he hurts someone they’re gone. I haven’t seen him drop anybody and they survive, only Andy Ruiz. He’s a ruthless finisher.”
The clash between Joshua and Fury is now expected to be announced soon for later this year, after Fury won his own interim fight on Friday by defeating Mariusz Wach.
