Promoter Oscar de la Hoya doubts that Terenka Crawford will be able to defeat the united champion of super medium weight, Canelo Alvarez when he moves on two divisions to challenge him for his lanes on September 13. De la Hoya states that “a good little man” “never beat a good large man.”

(Loan: Melanie Pizano/Matchroom)

Fighters who defeated larger guys:

• Sugar Ray Robinson
• Roy Jones Jr.
• Sugar Ray Leonard
• Manny Pacquiao

Too much jump?

Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) is achieving this feat, because he will basically move three classes of weight after a delicate performance in his debut in August 154 against Israil Madrimov. This fight was close enough to be a draw, but the judges gave it to Crawford and you can understand why. He was a page A.

Crawford’s reluctance to fight in 160 or 168 to remain busy and prove that he is another reason why he does not intend to defeat Canelo. Terenka apparently paired with warriors in these weight classes and knows that it would be a bad idea to compete with one of these killers before he started fighting Canelo.

“I have been in this game for so long and I like to say that I am a historian. There has never been a good little man who beats a good vast man. It did not happen,” said Oscar de la Hoya Warrior When asked about his thoughts whether Terenka Crawford can transfer two classes of weight to defeat Canelo Alvarez in super middle weight.

“Pacquiao can defeat me an exception, but this situation was completely different. I was at the end of my career, I was a warrior, and Pacquiao came, and he defeated me. But a good little man who is Crawford, never defeated a good large man who would be Canelo in the history of this sport.”

Crawford’s age

Of course, many fighters have moved many divisions to defeat larger fighters in the past. What makes Crawford’s task more problematic for him is his advanced age, inaction and lack of impact strength. Bud will be 38 years elderly in September; He looks it. What’s more, Crawford fights only once a year since 2020 and releases from 13 months of release.

The fighter can escape from this kind of inaction when they are younger or fight with a smaller opposition, but when they age, and move and fight with someone good, they lose. Maybe Crawford doesn’t care if he will be beaten. He was in advance about one of the reasons why he wants to fight Alvarez so much. It’s money.

Crawford, from Nebrask, can nowhere near the same type of cake fighting at the age of 154, and some guys in this weight class threw him off the fries. Guys such as Bakhram Murtazaliev, Vergil Ortiz Jr., Sebastian Fundor and Serhia Bohachuk would elderly Crawford. If he fights only once a year, he would never fight even half of these guys before he was defeated.

“If Crawford can do this, give this man the title”The largest in history. This is probably motivation for Crawford and his trainer. “Look, if you can beat Canelo, you can go down as one of the historical best fighters in the world.” This is sufficient motivation for every warrior. I just don’t consider it a warrior.

“Canelo is a great blow. Yes, he goes to Quicksand, and this is one thing that Crawford can apply against him. The pressure of a heavier guy. Canelo will be 200 pounds on this ring. So it’s a complex fight, but I will admit Crawford if he pulls it out,” said De la Hoya.

Shopnonn Canelo?

De la Hoya exaggerates with what Crawford would have achieved if he defeated 35-year-old Canelo Alvarez soon. Terenka would not be “the greatest in history” if he defeated Canelo, because the Mexican star has been disappearing over the last three years and has not fought from 2022.

If Crawford defeated this faded version of Canelo, he would only beat a guy who would probably lose many times if he fought with the best 168 pounds instead of avoiding them. Canelo twisted the former super medium-sized weight of David Benavidez and David Morrella, and now he is clearly avoided the best 168-pushers.

Crawford’s victory against Alvarez would only prove what boxing fans already know: Canelo is above the hill. That is why he does not want to fight real killers at the age of 168 and why he avoided Benavidez and Morrell when they were in the division.

Jermall Charlo Will They emerge from hibernation mode Once again, fight at the Super Middle Wweight on May 31 at the PBC event in Las Vegas. He will fight on the basis of the former IBF champion 168-lb Caleba Plant.

Charlo (33-0, 22 KO) turns 35 May 19 and did not fight within two years of defeating the former pretender to the welterweight Jose Benavidez Jr. in 2023. Jermall looked quite bad, and then he laid a two -year release, and now he does it again.

Before Jermall stopped fighting, he never beat any most contemporary fighters during his career at the age of 154 and 160. He was known mainly for his victories over former opponents of GGG Sergiy Derevyanchenko, Julian Williams, Austin Trout and Cornelius Bundrage.

What is the goal?

Charlo was a good warrior, but in some of his fights he took many penalties, showing that he was not at the level of the aging Gennadiy Golovkin or Canelo Alvarez. These are two fighters he pressed in his youth when he was still vigorous and motivated.

Now, at the age of 35 and basically four years of idleness, you can’t expect much from Jermalla Charlo. He returns, but the only thing he can count on Canelo throws him a bone or Riyada season, offering him mega-million as an opponent of someone like Teupers Crawford. We hope not Canelo, because nobody wants to see this kind of careful.

Lance Pugmire reports that Jermall will fight on the basis of the plant. There is no word about who Charlo will be, but of course it will be a low -level opponent for tuning purposes. We hope that this is someone from the 168-Funt division, not a guy two weight classes below, as in the last fight of Jermalla in 2023.

This latest return does not look promising for Charlo, but if he hopes that he will offer a package of money to fight in one of the seasonal events in Riyadh, I think it’s worth it. Apparently he does not win the title of world champion in the last age of his career. Again, this is probably not his goal in this return.

Any hopes of the title?

Considering the diagnosis of Jermalla among older fans who remember him in the best years of his career in 2016-2021, he could get the title of World Champion in 168, if he looks half the decent May 19. The united master of super medium weight, Canelo Alvarez, has recently focused on an uncomplicated opposition, and the fight with Jermall would be on his alley if he looked like a beating in his return.

Former world champion with two divisions, Jermall Charlo, was an excellent warrior and one of the biggest names in sport. However, after the exhausting fight with Juan Macias Montiel on June 19, 2021, Charlo stopped fighting for two years and was not motivated to return to the ring. He had the opportunity to win a huge challenge for Canelo Alvarez for his unified titles super medium weight on September 30, 2023.

Jermall decided not to fight because of personal problems. Instead, his twin brother, Jermell Charlo, took up the fight for a gigantic payment day. Interestingly, Jermell also stopped fighting and has not been seen in the ring since then.

Jermalla’s best career wins:

– trout Austin
– Sergiy Derevyanchenko
-Julian ‘J-rock-Williams
– Juan Macias Montiel
– Bundrage Cornelius
– Brandon Adams
– Jose Benavidez Jr.

In less than a year, Mikael Mayer and Sandy Ryan perhaps developed the most cruel and fierce competition in the history of women’s boxing. The insults threw themselves at this and back both before and after their fight in September last year, and the decisive decision of the judges in this fight led us to the Saturday rematch in Fontainebleau Las Vegas.

And don’t forget that Ryan suffered an attack on his way to Madison Square Garden for the first fight. Leaving her hotel in Fresh York, a can of red paint through someone on the street hit her. Ryan blamed Mayer and her team, which they denied.

There is also a problem of trainers. “Coach Kay” – Kay Koroma, who, for most of her career, trained by most of her career, went to coach Ryan to fight Mayer and will be in Ryan’s Corner again this weekend.

Mayer (20-2, 5 KO), a 34-year-old American, will be the first time to defend the WBO semi-edited weight title after the first fight ended when she made the decision on the majority (95-95, 97-93, 96-94) over Ryan (7-2-1, 3 KO), 31 and England. Here’s how we came to this moment in Ropienia.

January 24, 2024: Mayer, from Colorado, but based in Las Vegas, debuts in a welterweight, but loses a divided decision for Natasha Jonas in Liverpool, England. Mayer calls on an immediate rematch.

Mayer, who prevailed as a united junior featherlight champion for two years, until she was beaten by Alycia Baumgardner in 2022, does not get a rematch, but her mighty performance after increasing the weight to face Jonas, places her on the radars of other leading wooden wispas.

March 24, 2024: Ryan from Derby puts himself on a collision course with Mayer, defending her WBO -two -edge scale title with an excellent four -shaped victory over Terri Harper. Ryan’s best win in his career as one of the leading characters in welterweight.

Then Ryan calls Jonas and Chantelle Cameron, her English rivals, but they have other plans. Ryan wants a well -known name, but who is available? Competition with Mayer is bored behind the scenes and is going to explode.

June 26, 2024: Mayer claims in social media that Ryan has rejected the offer to fight her. Ryan responds in social media: “I will fight you at any time and every day of the week the queen of the drama. But when the offer was terrible to me, that I would defend my belt and nothing else comes to you through my team.”

A bad feeling emanates Ryan’s move to train with trainers who worked with Mayer. Ryan started working with coaches Kay Koroma and Flick Savoy after her draw with Jessica McCaskill in September 2023, and this upset Mayer. The American has trained with Koroma for eight years and felt that there was a conflict of interests since she wanted to go to a welterweight. So Mayer left Koroma to train with Kofi Yantuah after her defeat with Jonas. A few weeks after online exchange Ryan vs. Mayer is announced on September 27.

September 26, 2024: During the Fight Week, the surname Koroma inevitably appears malicious exchanges at media events.

Mayer: “You knew I came to 147 pounds, why should you move to America and start training under my team? It doesn’t make sense.”

Ryan calls Mayer a “cheesy woman” after a meeting in which Mayer raised the middle finger.

Sandy Ryan accuses someone from the band Mikael Mayer in a painting attack

Sandy Ryan explains why he thinks that someone from the opponent’s team Mikaeli Mayer threw a red paint at her.

September 27, 2024: Before arriving in Madison Square Garden to fight, Ryan feels siege. When he leaves his hotel in Fresh York, Ryan is hit with a can of paint, leaving her splashed in red.

Emotional and shocked Ryan sits with Marek Kriegel ESPN after arriving at the garden and says: “I left the hotel room to meet my band down, and there were cars waiting for us to enter and I was to get into the car when something crashed in my stomach.

“When I looked down, it was a can of paint. He looked up and a hooded guy, he ran, jumped into the car and drove away. He would hit and run.”

Ryan thinks he knows who is behind the attack. “Mikael Mayer definitely gets it,” says ESPN. “This is definitely a configuration of her team. Who knew what time I was going out [of] hotel? I kept peaceful throughout the week, and they are still trying to ruin my way of thinking. “

Later in the evening, the fight itself is brilliant, tenacious scrap. Both warriors have good moments. In the opening round, Mayer shakes Ryan with a huge right hand. Round 3 is intensively canceled from the fingers. During the fight, Mayer lands keen combinations and Ryan weighty left hooks. Mayer has a greater success in the 10 round, and her combinations and a mighty finish may make a difference on results cards. According to Compubox statistics, Mayer will land 41% of its power strokes compared to 37% Ryan. But the history of the fight applies to what happened before they got to the ring, like playing 10 rounds.

September 30, 2024: Ryan releases the statement that the paint attack was not the only thing she had to fight on the day of the fight.

“Of course, the painting attack received a lot of coverage, but I was also subjected to a disgusting and pathetic smear campaign on the day of the fight, in which hundreds of leaflets containing my image and defamating the text were widespread and placed on the streets surrounding my hotel and Madison Square Garden both before and after the fight,” Ryan wrote.

“ESPN won two rounds [ESPN’s Kriegel scored it 96-94 in favor of Ryan] I know that many other respected boxing observers also won the fight. In the featherlight of everything that happened, I think that an immediate rematch should be ordered.

“Boxing deserves much more than this type of bandit.”

Agent Mayra, George Ruiz, denies the claim This Mayer’s team was behind him, addressing Ryan directly: “Let me explain: no one associated with Team Mayer had nothing to do with the attack on you or leaflets and alive anonymous unsafe messages that, as you say, you have received.”

December 28, 2024: Ryan releases material from CCTV from the painting attack on its social media channel.

The film shows an unidentified person leaving the SUV driver’s seat parked in front of the hotel and slowly going towards Ryan, carrying the object in his right hand, and then throwing this object in Ryan from escaping to the car.

January 30, 2025: The rematch has been announced, and Ryan claims that this time it will be a different fight. “After what happened before the fight last time, I fought angrily and it clearly influenced my performance,” he says.

February 5, 2025: The quarrel continues “The Ariel Helwani Show. “” You don’t like me, because I called you on your s — “Mayer says.” You came to my country and tried to train with my team, even sent me a letter with information: “I’m sorry” … “

Ryan says again that she achieved worse results in the first fight because she was affected by the attack before Congress.

“He thinks I’m mentally broken, mentally frail and so on,” said Ryan.

“We’ll see who will be broken one after this fight. I believe that this time I will stop him. I did not sit on my shot because I fought for emotions and anger. Let’s see if he can make shots when I connect this time.”

February 16, 2025: Mayer suggests that it could have been The fan who carried out the painting attack.

He says in Great Britain Talksport: “The rumor is that Sandy is not a very nice person in his hometown, so he is probably on my turf, trying to find a band because he can’t find one house. Maybe it was someone who just despises Sandy. … It may be very straightforward to be a fan.”

March 9, 2025: Despite the controversy around Ryan’s first fight and her intensive competition with England, Mayer is called British Boxing Board of Control’s Foreign boxer of the year.
