Canelo Alvarez’s expected victory over Crawford and the credit he will never get

Canelo Alvarez has already acknowledged that if he will not receive credit for defeating the ‘smaller’ Terence Crawford in the fight that Turki Alalshikh wanted this weekend in Las Vegas. Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 food) realizes that he is in a no-win position, where, regardless of the outcome, he will not be praised by fans and media.

With the many people suddenly jumping aboard the Crawford wheel wheel and predicting he will defeat Canelo, the Mexican star must receive full credit if he beats him in their super fight on September 13.

The credit he will never get

This probably won’t happen because Crawford has essentially moved three weight classes for this silverboard event that Alalshikh gave him, without requiring him to jump through hoops to get it.

If not for the massive payday that Turki gives to Canelo, estimated at $ 150 million, Mexican superstar Crawford (41-0, 31) is unlikely to have fought, because there is nothing to fight against him.

Terence did not move up to 160 or 168, and in his recent detection he did not look impressive for a fight against Israel Madrimov in 2024 a year ago. Crawford won the WBA junior middleweight title in that battle, which ended Madrimov through a close one-round unanimous decision.

According to ESPN, Crawford’s WBA 154-Pond title will be stripped of him at the moment he arrives in the ring on Saturday. Current WBA -Tussentage champion Abass Baraou is being raised for the new champion.

The no-wen scenario

“If I beat him, no one would say,” Ah, he beat Crawford because (Canelo’s) is a good warrior, “Canelo Alvarez said earlier ESPN. “He is also (a) pound-by-pound large, But he is smaller. You’re going to start seeing ‘but he’s small and that.’

Canelo can be right. He did not receive much credit from fans for his victory over junior middleweight Jermell Charlo two years ago on September 30, 2023. People regularly noted that Jermell moved up from 154 to 168 for the fight when he discussed the victory, which had a bit of victory for Canelo.

The inevitable excuse

It could be even more so for Canelo who defends against Crawford, as he is older at 37, smaller than Jermell, and his career began at 135. It is an automatic excuse for Terence if he loses as he arrives two divisions and has been fighting in his fifth weight class since 2007.
