Coach Abel Sanchez says Canelo Alvarez will hit Terence Crawford in his arms and body to bring him on September 13. He does not think that Crawford (41-0, 31 kos) can prevent him from moving because he will not have his feet at 168 he made in 147.
Sánchez says that Crawford should have begun to fight the older boys during his year outside the ring. Terence chose to wait for his crash against Canelo, instead of using his time to prepare for tuned in 168.
“He would have had him fighting older boys and doing much more strength and conditioning because he will need it,” said coach Abel Sanchez at Johnny Boy Boxing What he would have done to prepare Terence Crawford for the fight against Canelo Alvarez.
Sánchez has the right idea. Crawford should have used the year that has been out of the ring to take a couple of tune in 168 to adjust to the weight before fighting Canel. For any reason, Terence chose to sit inactive, only focusing on the grouping. It was a lost opportunity, but it shows that I was afraid to risk that something bad happened.
“It will be faster in the first three or four rounds because it is faster than Canelo. But once Canelo begins to beat in his arms and beats him, he is a big truck that hits him,” said Sánchez. “It will be difficult to keep away from him, unless the fight (William) Scull. But I don’t think he has his legs, especially in 168, which had in 147.”
Terence did not even have his legs in 154. We saw that Israil Madrimov was faster on his feet and landed the best shots. Crawford will not dare or try to turn the struggle into a struggle of Tom and Jerry because I would not want Turki Alralikh. He pays him a lot of money, and Crawford will be forced to entertain -even if he occurs that he is taken out.
“Of course, it will help him (Crawford) at the beginning of the fight when Canelo is still trying to assimilate his speed,” Sánchez said when asked if Crawford’s high boxing coefficient will help him against Alvarez. “Once you get up to date with certain things that Crawford does, it will hit him.”
Crawford’s speed may not be an advantage for him or the first rounds. The weight he has put will slow him down and make it much easier to hit Canelo. He will try to overcome Canelo as Floyd Mayweather Jr did, but he lacks the speed of his hand.
