Israil Madrimov says that Terence Crawford has a “50-50” shot when defeating Canelo Alvarez, only if its weight is less than 168 for its struggle on September 13 at the Allegiating Stadium in Las Vegas. He thinks that if Crawford has increased the fight, he will lose.
Bud (41-0, 31 kos) surely looks excited, similar to a very medium weight now. He has been hitting the weights and added a lot of muscle that has transformed his appearance into a person with a different appearance. If Madrimov is right, Crawford loses 100%.
“This is an intriguing struggle right now. The whole world is looking at. No one was waiting for it, but thanks to (Turki Alshikh) and Riyadh, we are getting this struggle,” said Israil Madrimov Fight Hub TV As for the struggle of Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford next month. “I would like to help Terence in preparation, but I’m not in the stage of helping him right now with my skills.”
Although Madrimov helped Crawford, it would not be useful. His style of struggle is nothing like Canelo. If it were something, Crawford would work against Madrimov to help himself because he would hurt his self-confidence, as he would be dominated in Sparring sessions.
“Terence has everything. Maybe it’s the highest IQ Boxeador in the world. It can turn into right, left, he has powerful, strong and physically endowed,” said Madrimov on Crawford. “He is a great athlete and has all the tools.”
The five missing ingredients from Crawford
“Canelo is a caneal. Everyone knows him and what his strong sides are. He can fight 12 rounds,” said Madrimov. “I think it can adjust to anything. The question is, what will the physical?
“If Terence will be himself and he will weigh under the limit of 168 and he is only himself, I see it as a 50-50 struggle,” said Madrimov.
It’s too late for Crawford to be “himself” for this struggle. It has increased until the 180’s, perhaps low in the 190’s, and it does not look physically nothing like the fighter who was in his last competition against Madrimov in 2024. If this is what Snac has transformed Terence, it is a mistake on his part. He should have heard Madrimov and remained light so he could use his speed.
