“I told you” – the glorification of the Hoya of Crawford’s victory does not recognize a nearby battle

Hoya’s promoter Oscar struck today, giving the old man “I told you” On the loss of Canelo Alvarez against Terence Crawford last Saturday night at the Allegant Stadium de Las Vegas.

A wrong victory lap

De la Hoya said that he had planned to have Canelo (63-3-2, 39 kos) lose the fight and saw it as a unilateral thing with Crawford (42-0, 31 kos) playing with the superstar all night. Obviously, this was not the case.

Crawford barely won a unanimous 12 round decision and would have lost if Canelo had not disappeared in the last three rounds. I had it marked as a draw.

“I told you. I predicted Canelo-Crawford’s struggle as a fortune. Canelo’s feet were found in the canvas and was hitting air,” said Hoya’s Oscar promoter this week CLAP back to Thursday’s editionThat the loss of Canelo Alvarez against Terence Crawford took place last Saturday.

A “Tom and Jerry” struggle

Canelo constantly pressed the attack on Crawford, which clearly followed William Scull’s model of rotating the ring for three minutes in each round, throwing sporadic punches. Alvarez’s feet were not “centered on the canvas”, as Hoya says wrongly. Was always attacking Crawford, which required a movement due to the fight to be a Tom and Jerry type struggle.

Turki Alshikh wanted blood, broke the faces and broke. Instead, he obtained a performance by Jerry-Esque de Crawford and possibly lost the $ 50 million he paid.

Crawford’s “relic” style

Alralhikh would have gained more value for the money he spent if he had used Christian Mbilli, David Benavidez, Sebastian Fundora or Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis as the opponent of Canelo to fight instead of Crawford.

Canelo-Crawford was a very, very boring struggle last Saturday. It only shows how promoters may be mistaken Excessive payment with a style of Mayweather, antiquated, This does not fit this time, where you have to entertain fans or be forgotten. I see Crawford’s style as a Mayweather’s relic that does not fit the sport today, where fighters need to be all shares and have a trick to sell.

“He only played with Canelo, made him look silly. Before starting with your things (things) on Canelo, you just know that Crawford is bigger. This is not an excuse here. (Crawford only) played with him. Even Mayweather knew that Crawford went to school. He put $ 50,000 in Crawford,” he said of La Hoya.

Oscarscar overlooks a couple of things.

1. Canelo-Crawford was a nearby pointt. Crawford was not played with the Alvarez School last Saturday. Hit and ran for 12 rounds. It was only in the new round that Bud had briefly fought. The rest of the struggle was movement. The scores were 115-113, 115-113 and 116-112. These are not the type of scores seen in a unilateral struggle.
2. Alvarez’s upper curriculum: Crawford, 37, is older than 35 -year -old Canelo, but has not faced any of the elite -level fighters Alvarez. Terence did not absorb punishment because it was less lethal punctures in the divisions of 135, 140, 147 and 154 pounds than those that were treated at 160, 168 and 175.
