Terence Crawford jumping the middle weight division for a retirement payment against Canelo Alvarez poses a problem for sports

Former Rival of Terence Crawford, Egidijus Kavaliauskas, with heavy weight, chose him to defeat the champion of four largest belts Alvarez in his super struggle on September 13 in Allegant Stadium de las Vegas.

Ring’s Ring IQ of Crawford Property

Kavaliauskas fought against Crawford on December 14, 2019 and was eliminated in the ninth round. Kavaliauskas, nicknamed Crawford (41-0, 31 kos) has the IQ to overcoming the upper size of Canelo.

“I think Crawford is too fast and too smart for Canelo. When you see Usyk’s struggle and what Usyk did to older boys like Joshua and Fury, the size of this does not matter,” said Kavaliauskas to fight Hub TV.

There is a big difference between Usyk that defeat the British heavy weights, Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury, and Crawford, 37, jumping against Canelo in 168. The Mexican star is still close to its beginning. He is not someone who built a race to defeat Wladimir Klitschko, 40, as Joshua and Fury did. Alvarez has surpassed high -level fighters, defeating Gennady Golovkin, Erislandy Lara and Caleb Plant.

“Looking at how he built his body, listening to what I am listening to behind the scene, I think Crawford will face, collide the rounds and win seven rounds to five,” said journalist Gareth A. Davies A Talksport BoxingChoosing Terence Crawford on the four -pound four -pound champion Canelo Alvarez.

The problem with most added

Gareth is an example of how many social media fans are turning around their wagons around Crawford, choosing it to win based on the size it has been packaged in the last year, increasing the training. Fans have not seen Crawford use this new size, but they still believe it translates into an added power, turning it into a real average weight.

It is a nonsense to choose a fighter based on its large amount. If they have not shown what they can do with this added size, you must be skeptical. A better way to measure the operation of Crawford with the Massive Added is to look at its last performance against the champion of WBA Junior Middleweight Israil Madrimov on August 3, 2024.

Crawford increased the struggle and was slower, more cozy, and its power was not massive. When he landed, the head of Madrimov did not move. However, the features that Madrimov connected were Crawford’s head in each round. The struggle resembled an older heavy weight fighting a young young man and better qualified.

“Yes, he (Crawford) (he will have the decision). If we get a close enough fight, they will also make a second. It’s a great time for Dana White and Turki Alralikh. It’s one of those Superian struggles we can’t wait to see,” said Davies.

It makes sense to predict a resale if the Canelo-Crawford struggle is competitive, close or controversial. There would be enough interest in the fan to see a second. Ideally, the winner of the struggle should move to fight Dmitry Bivol, David Benavidez or Artur Beeterbiev. Having two consecutive fights can be boring for fans.

Earn the resale or continue

If Crawford wins, Turki should offer him a fight against one of these three. Assuming he says no, he should move on instead of giving -resale with Canelo. It must be through Turki’s rules, because many X belief fans are that Crawford’s reason to jump the 160 -pound division and to 168 for Canelo’s struggle is only for retirement money. As such, if you defeat Alvarez, Turki should set foot on the fire and win the resale fighting one of the sharks in 175, Bivol, Bertabev or Benavidez.

My choice is David Benavidez. Let Crawford prove against the “Mexican monster” before he was given the reanimation of Canelo on a silver dish. He has already been given the title against the super -heavyweight championship of Canelo without having to work for him, whipping head of the contenders to 168. Turki should make Crawford win the resale walking through a bed of hot coals at his naked feet, taking one of the three great to 175, Benavidez, Beterbiev or Bivol.

“Terence Crawford is not a mega-starry crossover in American life. Although it is a sports star, this is its great moment. Now this is four divisions of weight. It will climb six divisions in total to fight an average weight,” said Gareth.

Why Crawford is not a crossover star

Crawford is not a Crossover star because his style of struggle has not entertained enough to attract the attention of North -Americans. It was a fights like Gennadiy Golovkin or Canelo. Crawford has always been a counterpoint that reacts, moves a lot and stands. This style does not reson with the average fan in the United States

“” I think Bud is a better IQ boxer. I think Bud is strong and I think he can beat Canelo Alvarez. I take into account, “said WBC light champion, Shakur Stevenson, X, who meets Crawford to defeat Canelo on September 13.
