Crawford’s “Gimmickry” can defeat Canelo? Arum’s switching theory challenged Crawford’s recent performance

Promoter Bob Arum says Terence Crawford to change the will “BEFUDDLE” Canelo Alvarez in September, and expects his former fighter to defeat the Mexican superstar.

Posture switching strategy

Arum believes that the change of positions is all that Bud needs to defeat Alvarez (62-2-2, 39 kos). If Crawford is banking to win by changing the positions all night, it could be fooled. This is not David Avaneyan or Jeff Horn who faces.

It could require more than Terence that would change positions to defeat Canelo because these things did not work well for Nebraska natives in their last fight against Israil Madrimov. It was lit from Southpaw to Orthodox. Madrimov nailed him with his hands repeatedly from any of the two positions, and it seemed that he could not miss this right.

“I like Crawford in this struggle. I think it is a better talent, better athlete, best boxer, and I just think he will win this struggle,” said promoter Bob Arum a Sean ZittelPredict Terence Crawford will defeat Canelo Alvarez, Super Middleweight, WBC and WBO champion, if they fight on September 13.

Arum could be sentimental to Crawford because he was his baby from the beginning of his career, fighting with the first rank until 2021. For Arum to talk about a fighter who spent 13 years with his company, it would seem strange. Crawford was familiar with the highest rank and would probably be with them if he did not go to the free agents route after his victory over Shawn Porter in 2021. Peciónly, Crawford has fought only three times since he left Arum, surpassing David Avanayan, Errol Spence and Israil Madrimov.

He should have fought much more than three times in the four years since he left the first place, but this reflects the lack of ambition. This inactivity will turn and bite Crawford on the back against Canelo because you cannot be a small part -time fighter at the age of 38 and wait for a fighter from this caliber.

The arum forecast

“Once announced, I heard that Crawford would win. I said,” It’s a great struggle for you. You will win this struggle. “I don’t think he will put this kind of weight,” Arum said when asked if the additional weight Terence will put it against Alvarez.

Arum may not have followed Crawford recently, but it seems to have been full of power of 20 pounds and hitting the weights. He still has five months to continue to increase before his fight against Alvarez in September, and will probably arrive until the 190’s. It no longer resembles the agile and agile fighter who was two years ago when he won the best race against Errol Spence on July 29, 2023.

“In addition, Crawford has a rare ability to be ambidextre and move from Southpaw to Orthodox as the struggle continues. This is going to puzzle in Canelo. Like most fighters, he has not dealt with this type of opponent. I think this made such an easy struggle with Spence. It was totally bewildered,” said Arum.

Canelo has fought against many fighters who can change his position during the twenty years he has fought as a professional. Much more Terence will be required to defeat Canelo using his trick, how to change position. It worked at Errol Spence because he has lost his game so much from this car accident in 2019, and seemed to be physically or mentally present when he fought Crawford in 2023. Spence worked with 25% capacity.

“A fighter when he coaches generally coach for a southpaw or an orthodox in Sparring,” Arum said. “Now, if you are fighting a guy who goes perfectly from SouthPaw to Orthodox and is equally effective, as is trained for this? It’s difficult. Don’t get partners that the two can do. Not many.

“Crawford because it is a unique fighter type that other fighters have not seen and the capacity they have to change, the fighters are not used to it. They do not train for it,” Arum said when asked who wins a fight between Crawford and a Floyd Mayweather Jr. “I just think Crawford is a very, very unique talent.

“This has nothing to do with his ability as a fighter. Maybe his capacity as a litigation, I can say things. But as a fighter, he is a unique superior boy,” Arum said.

Madrimov’s concerns

Crawford will have to raise his game considerably from his last performance against Israil Madrimov on August 3 last year because he defeat Canelo because this struggle was essentially a draw. He faced a very good fighter who struck him and beat him in the first nine rounds before removing. Against Canelo, Crawford faces a larger punch, which will pay him if he tries to fight aggressively.

Based on some of the things that Bud and his coach, Brian ‘Bomac’ McIntyre, they have said in interviews, focus on the boxwood box, being out of the rank and tying it when it is close enough to land their great traits of power.
