Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford settled for September 12 in Las Vegas in the middle of “Figh of the Century” Hype

Turki Alshikh announced the “Big Fight” by Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford “Big Fight” for September 12, at Las Vegas Stadium. It says “Fight of the Century ”, something that does not reflect reality. It looks more like the “struggle of the month” for September.

Crawford entered the ring after the unanimous victory of the 12 Canelo rounds on the IBF champion Super Middleweight William Scull. The victory made Canelo (63-2-2, 39 kos) an indisputable champion twice. He needed this title as a point of sale for Crawford’s struggle because he is an old undisputed champion of two divisions, after having done so in 140 and 147.

Surprisingly, Bud Crawford seemed bigger than Canelo tonight. During the face, it was possible to see that he was thicker and heavier than Alvarez, who looked in his fight against Scull in the 180’s. Crawford has eaten well for the nine months that he has been outside the ring since his victory near Israil Madrimov in his debut on 154 August 3 last year.

“Now, we want to make the struggle of the century. The struggle in September between the two great fighters of our generation, Canelo Alvarez and Crawford,” said Turki Alshikh, Inside the ring After Alvarez’s victory over IBF champion Super Middleweight William Scull. “It will be at the Las Vegas stadium on September 12.

Many casual boxing fans are not Crawford fans. It is popular with a segment of the Hardcore Boxing Fans who enjoy seeing the fighters who practice the style that they do not. ” It does not fight aggressively enough to be popular with the main fans.

Turki did not mention the price of the PPV for the “great struggle” between Canelo and Crawford. There will be many unhappy boxing fans if the cost is $ 100As with the struggle of Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao. Given that the fight against Cane-Scull tonight was $ 60 Dazn PPVYou should think that the Canelo-Crawford event will be at higher price.

It is a good struggle, but not close to the level that turk the label. Crawford is not the struggle that fans want to see. They want Canelo to fight against David Benavidez, not the aged crawford.
