Climb a defeat: why Crawford’s size won’t save him from Canelo

Terence Crawford seems unrecognizable since its ancient self with the weight it meant while launched for its title against the super indisputable champion Canelo Alvarez, on September 13, by allegiating Stadium de las Vegas.

Canelo exposes a false 168

Crawford’s fans believe that the size he has set will be a change of game, leading him to dominate Canelo as he had done while he campaigned in 147. Canelo fans know it better. They saw Alvarez defeated an Edgar Berlanga of 193 pounds rehidrated last year.

Crawford is believed to have put between 14 and 20 pounds of muscle of the year that has been outside the ring since its last struggle on August 3, 2024. It is banking in the weight to guide the victory over Canelo. Terence’s photos on social media show a fighter who has a look of 185 pounds.

Fans are naturally skeptical of Crawford’s possibilities to win the fight with its added size. They claim that weighing weight to become a super weight, it still does not make Buda a real 168-free fighter capable of going to war with a fighter like Canelo or even some of the contestants in the division.

Crawford’s non -secure shortcuts for a heavy payment day

With 39 days to start, Crawford (41-0, 31 kos) seems very unpleasant and voluminous with the size he fought against Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 kos). The problem is that Terence is cutting off the corners, choosing to go directly to the summit without acclimating -first in the super medium division.

Even the size it puts will not be helping him to make any fighter shots like Canelo. It seems like a wrong approach to Crawford, with him quickly adding to his frame, without adjusting and jumping directly to a fight against Canelo. He says he chases the legacy. The fans are promoted by pure greed and the desire to earn money without work.
