Emotional Defense of Andre Ward: Exposing the supposed Frotis campaign against Terence Crawford

Andre Ward says people used a “Frotis campaign” To try “Bury” Terence Crawford led to his fight against the title against the Super indisputable champion Canelo Alvarez last Saturday night in Las Vegas.

Ward states that “Them” He said Crawford (42-0, 31 kos) was not a draw and could not speak. He did not mention that fans believe that Crawford has no charisma, a style of boring struggle, rarely struggling and has a minimum presence on social media.

Crawford changed your mind?

It is questionable if Crawford changed the fan’s perception after last Saturday, as his performance against Canelo (63-3-2, 39 kos) was low-level entertainment. He was constantly moving, rarely involved, and not stopped in the trenches to make the struggle exciting.

Turki Alshikh had said at the final press conference: “I want to see blood, broken faces and broken bones.” How could we see something with Crawford running throughout the creation last Saturday?

Crawford’s emotional defense of Ward

“They tried to bury Terence Crawford to say It wasn’t a draw when the numbers were there For you to see it. It was a frotis campaign with his personality. “He doesn’t talk. No one wants to hear him. No, you don’t want to hear him,” said an Andre Ward who sounds emotionally All the smoke Channel, working on Terence Crawford’s victory over Canelo Alvarez.

Crawford has not been a great draw and the numbers reflect it. Prior to last Saturday’s struggle with Canelo, the only time Terence attracted large crowds was when he fought Errol Spence and when he fought at home in Omaha, Nebraska.

“I do not hear the frotis campaign now. He said,” Give -Me my shot. I’m going to show -in “and he did it again against Canelo,” said Ward.

The reality of his career

What is Ward talking about? Crawford has been making his shots in the titles. How did Crawford become a world champion of four divisions before fighting Canelo if he did not have his chances of fights? The only time Crawford had to wait for the opportunity to fight for a world title, was when he tried to get a shock against Errol Spence.

When Crawford first moved to Welterweight, he was given an immediate title against WBO champion Jeff Horn on June 9, 2018. Crawford did not have to wait and was not blocked. It was his first struggle in the division. Making Crawford sounds as a victim does not affirm the reality of his situation. It has been treated as gold from the beginning.

The reality is that Terence did not deserve a title against Canelo for the undisputed championship of Super Middleweight, because he had never fought in the weight class.

Questioning the equity of struggle

Turki Alralikh caused the struggle to spend his money, but it was totally useful and unfair to contestants such as Christian Mbilli and Lester Martinez, so that Crawford gave him the green light to advance two weight classes, jumping on them to get a direct shot.

I do not think that Crawford could have physically won a title title if I had to defeat Mbilli, Martinez or Osleys Iglesias to face Canelo for his four belts in 168. In my opinion, the race against Canelo would not have worked against these three happy. They would have arrived in Crawford and had shown what happens when two weight classes jumped at the age of 38.

The struggle should not have been sanctioned as a professional competition. It was a fight against the exhibitions, making a mockery of the sport.
