Canelo Alvarez says he wants to show the improvements he has made in his game in the last twelve years against Mayweather-Esque Terence Crawford in September. Alvarez (62-2-2, 39 COs) is still bitter about his first loss in the pro ranks, losing a 12-round majority decision to Floyd Mayweather jr. In 2013.
The code cracking?
If Canelo Crawford, 37, can defeat, he will have proven to be of his loss of Floyd Jr. He will have cracked the code by beating Mayweather 2.0, although a parent, less talented version of the old fox.
The then 23-year-old Canelo did not have the seasoning to defeat the bad, much more experienced 36-year-old Mayweather. He feels that if he fought Floyd at another time in his career, he would have won.
Crawford has a mayweather style, but with more power and slower hand speed. His style is reminiscent of the old legend, and it can have problems for Canelo if he has not developed since the defeat. Although the Mexican star insists that he has improved, he does not look like him.
He has just grown, older and calculated about choosing his opponents. For example, Canelo never fought David Benavidez or David Morrell. He fought poorer opposition like John Ryder, Jaime Munguia and Edgar Berlanga.
“That’s the plan. That’s what they want, and everyone wants that fight, but in my mind I have to take care of the May’s match (William Scull), and then we’ll see. Who knows what happens? ‘ said Canelo Alvarez Ring magazine When asked about a possible battle against Terence Crawford. “I know what the people want, but I have to look after the fight first.”
Canelo said all the time that he didn’t want to look past his next battle peel. He knows that it would be a mistake to assume that he was going to beat the talented Cuban, because he was no longer a spring chicken.
In Alvarez’s last two fights against Edgar Berlanga and Jaime Munguia, he looks at his early time. He looked through four rounds like 24k gold, but then delayed dramatically. Therefore, these two were able to waive the full 12 round.
Canelo both had on the mat early, and it looked like he was going to beat them with ease. The 34-year-old’s age caught him and prevented him from completing Berlanga and Munguia. We will probably see the same in the Scull Fight, but this man has the talent to win rounds based on his technical skills he has learned to grow up in Cuba, and fight the best competition daily.
“Otherwise now”
“Yes, it could be. To show people that I am now different with the experience with the fighter I am today, “Canelo said or a fight against Crawford, which has a similar style to Floyd Mayweather Jr., would allow him to show that he has developed since his loss to him in 2013.
“I always think I need more years before I fought Mayweather. Things happen, and I learned a lot. I don’t blame myself because I learned a lot. But yes, it’s an opportunity to show the kind of fighter I am now, ‘says Canelo.
