SuperStars Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford will fight in Las Vegas in September. The location and date have yet to be determined. Fans have already responded Negative to Crawford (37), gets a world title on Canelo’s three Super Mid -weight titles without first beating a top wager in the weight class.
The setback
Crawford is allowed to skip the traditional method for fighters to get title shots by contenders. It’s like an NFL team that goes straight into the Super Bowl in their first battle of the season with a record of 0-0. If allowed, it would make a joke of that league, but Crawford does it in box.
Fans have a problem with Canelo-Crawford fighting with three 168-pound titles at stake. If it is called an exhibition match, it would not be seen negatively because it is only cheap entertainment without any value behind it, such as Mike Tyson against Jake Paul –junk food entertainment.
It is believed that it will be without a catch weight at 168, making it impossible for Crawford to win. At 5’8 ″ he is the same height as Canelo, but has a smaller frame. He does not have the power to fight at Super Middle Leaver unless he improves dramatically in this area.
According to Ring Magazine, the Unified 168-pound champion Canelo (62-2-2, 39 costs) and Crawford (41-0, 31 COs) will fight in Vegas in September.
On paper it is a complete mismatch. Crawford has never fought at 168. He will come off a year -long dismissal and look impressive in his debut. He moved up against Israil Madrimov from 147 in his last match, on August 3.
Boxing fans will be less angry than Turki al-Sheikh the Canelo-Crawford match in the $ 20 Series PREE and the bottom map with excellent battles, as he finished with his February 22 Riyadh season map.
The price point
If priced at $ 80 to $ 100, And it seems to be a maladjustment with Canelo who dominates Crawford, fans will feel to swing their money, will be angry, and many people can choose to go away to pay for future battles on PPV.
The concern is that Crawford is not young, which turns 38 in September, and that he will come into battle, with Alvarez who never fought at 168. Crawford skips the contenders to the super -middle weight to get a straight shot at Canelo’s three titles.
