Lonnie Thompson believes that the additional weight Terence Crawford will make his challenge for his challenge against the super unquestionable champion, Canelo Alvare, will get tired, which he lost on September 13. Thompson says that the power of Canelo’s shootings will further bring the 37 -year -old Crawford.
“I think Crawford is good, but when you look at his fight against Madrimov in 154, he gave him problems,” said Lonnie Thompson to FANT OF THE PRO boxSpeaking of the problems Terence Crawford had gone from 147 to 154 in his last struggle when he barely defeated Israil Madrimov last August.
Madrimov gave Crawford a lot of trouble and possibly defeated him last August. The difference in power was noticeable. Madrimov was much older and bouncing shots at Crawford’s head all night. It was clear to see that struggle that Terence’s power had not occurred since 154.
“He is climbing two different classes of weight. Crawford is an excellent boxer, but I think his heart is too great sometimes,” said Thompson. “I think if you are in a game with Canelo, it will be bad for you. I can see him overcome Canelo for five or six rounds. The only thing that worries me is the last rounds.”
It would be a crazy idea that Bud goes to the war with Canelo, because it will not have enough pop in its punches to combine it. Canelo’s last opponent, IBF champion William Scull, was larger, stronger, younger and faster than Crawford. I didn’t want to mix it with Alvarez once it was hit a few times.
“After six, when Canelo begins to hit the shoulders and hips, because you can increase in weight,” said Thompson. “But when you are accustomed to fighting with a minor weight, putting all the weight can tire you. It’s not as if it had taken a tune in 168. He went to find the jugular in 168.”
Crawford will not want to mix it with a channel once hitting a few times. He will take a minimalist approach, trying his way to a victory. This will not work against the Canelo Superstar because the judges will not give Crawford’s decision if he tries to get a cheap victory.
“I think as the rounds continue, it can be bad for Crawford because Canelo can hit himself. He is used to fighting the biggest bodies. Although he is a blow, Berlanga, he is an older boy. So, with Crawford he feels a 168 explosion, I am more inclined to Canelo to win,” said Lonnie B.
It is not just the size that will cause problems for Crawford. It is his age, and he will come out of a one -year dismissal. He barely escaped with his long dismissal and a leap of a division in his last fight against Israil Madrimov. Now, he goes up two divisions after a 13 -month dismissal just before his 38th anniversary.
