Too big, too soon? Crawford’s weight gain could cost you Canelo

Terence Crawford seems enormous right now, possibly in the 180’s, as his fight against Mega-Money’s champion begins against the champion of Super Media Unified Canelo Alvarez on September 13. Israil Madrimov published a video of the meeting with Crawford on social networks, and the difference in size between them is amazing.

SlowPoke now

Crawford is already larger than Canelo right now. At this rate, it may be large enough to pass until 175 to assume who ends with the four belts of the Artur Beterbeiv vs. Dmitry Bivol. Crawford could have to go through David Benavidez to get a shot for the winner, but maybe not.

If Turki Alralikh wants to soften things for Terence, achieving -a direct shot without having to work for it, he can do it. He helped Crawford with Canelo to get a title shot. If Crawford had to work for the shot of traits through Osleys Iglesias, Diego Pacheco and Christian Mbilli, he would probably fail miserably again and again.

Last August, the former Middleweight Junior champion of WBA, Madrimov, was larger than Crawford (41-0, 31 kos) in his battle in Los Angeles. But since then, Crawford seems to have put about 20+ pounds and looks bigger than some of the super pesos in the division. Of course this is just size. It does not necessarily result in an increase in power.

Crawford’s struggle against “Petit GGG” Madrimov showed that his power did not take him from 147 to 154. He was the weakest fighter and took a lot of punishment from the correct hands, who ate all night in Madrimov .

Crawford that draws all this weight can again storm it when it is put inside the ring with Canelo because it will stop it, putting it on the fire line. It will probably not rehydrate in 193 pounds as Edgr Berlanga did. Therefore, taking Canelo’s punch will not be easy for an old age of 38 to fight once a year since 2020.
