Erislandy Lara says that Terence Crawford must keep moving and not let Canelo Alvarez hit him in his weapons in his fight on September 13. Cuban Lara lost a 12-round division decision to Canelo (63-2-2, 39 kos) in 2014 and succeeded by a joke from the outside.
Lara fought too defensively, leaving the judges more remedy than to give it to Canelo, who took more possibilities and landed the toughest punches.
Erislandy now wants Crawford (41-0, 31 kos) to fight similarly and believe it will work. This will do well with Turki Alralikh if Crawford moves for 12 rounds, imitating the Lara and William Scull style that were used against the Super indisputable Canelo champion.
“I see it as an interesting struggle 50-50. I feel that Canelo is very strong right now and I want to see how Crawford manages power, especially in the first rounds, and what will happen,” said Erislandy Lara a FighthypeDiscussing the crash of Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford in September.
Canelo will launch the whole struggle with power, not just the first rounds. Crawford will have to make these shots for 12 rounds. If you run as you did against Israil Madrimov last August, you will lose because the judges will not give him another decision as they did in this struggle. Madrimov defeated Crawford, but the judges went with the fighter A.
“I remember fought against Canelo 14 years ago (Correction: 11 years ago in 2014). I remember, I used very good legs. While Crawford uses his legs and does not let Canela hit him in his arms and hit him in his arms, he has a very good chance of winning, “said Lara.
Crawford is paid 50 million dollars For this fight against Canelo. I would be crazy if he chose to adopt the Jerry style that Erislandy Lara recommended. This is not the much smaller bag that Lara received when he fought Canelo more than a decade ago.
Turki Alshikh has been paying for tens of millions of dollars, which has labeled this “century struggle”. Given the drum that surrounds the struggle and the massive purse that receives Terence, it would be a mistake on the part to use the legs and to work the way Lara did.
Although Crawford remained obediently the Lara Councils, the great crowd who would attend the event at Las Vegas Allegiating Stadium Would make it out of the building. This is Las Vegas. They have no patience for Tom and Jerry’s fights in this city.
Canelo Fighting Lessons 2014
This Lara Council will not be practical against Canelo. It did not work for Erislandy in 2014, as he moved too much, without making possibilities and trying to win a cheap decision by throwing only punches. Canelo was the one who pressed the whole struggle, landing hard blows whenever he could catch up.
The style that Erislandy used against Alvarez was similar to the one used by Cuban William Scull against him last May. He did not want to involve and run around the ring, throwing punches and sometimes combinations when Canel would catch him. Scull fought better than Lara, but there was no chance that the judges would give him the decision because he was too passive.
