Age, Ring Rust and Canelo’s Power: An obstacle to Crawford’s two-weight class

Terence Crawford coach Brian ‘Bomac’ McIntyre says he is more determined to prepare Crawford for his fight with the undisputed super -middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez now that supporters doubt his fighter. McIntryre notes that fans are skeptical of Terence’s chances of winning because he moves two weight classes from 154 to 168 to challenge Canelo (63-2-2, 39 COs) for his four titles on September 12 at the Allegiant Stage in Las Vegas.

Crawford’s age factor

Why there is doubt about Terence

1. Age: Crawford will be close to 38 by the time he is fighting against Canelo. His birthday is on September 28. He looked old and weak in his previous battle against Israel Madrimov. The physical decline in Crawford was visible in that battle, and it seems he lost, but made a questionable decision.
2. Inactivity: It was 13 months since Terence last fought when he walked in the ring against Alvarez. For that, Crawford was inactive for 13 months and looked rust and slow in his debut on 154.
3. Perception of battles for money: People believe that Bud Crawford’s biggest motivation for the fight against Canelo is for the $ 100 million he gets for this fight. They point out that he showed no ambition to move to 168 and walk the shelf against the deadly peak predators, David Bansavidez, David Morrell and Osleys Iglesias to show that his focus is on true competition.
4. Alvarez’s power: Canelo’s power is still formidable, despite the fact that he delays with age. The shots he landed on his last two opponents, William Scull and Edgar Berlanga, hit Gate through Crawford’s fragile, bird -like frame. He is not designed to be hit by the robust, truck -like Canelo.

“We’re not looking for a knockout. We’re going in there to try boxing because it’s the name of the game. But if the knockout comes, we will be in shape to get it, ‘said coach’ Bomac ‘McIntyre to Millcity Boxing On whether Terence Crawford can beat Canelo Alvarez on September 12.

Bomac leaves the cat out of the suitcase here by revealing that Bud is coming to ‘Box’ Canelo instead of trying to score a knockout. He has said in other interviews that he is Canelo’s losses to Dmitri Bivol and Floyd Mayweather Jr. And that they would use the two as the blueprint to use against the Mexican star.

“The first big battle we had (against Errol Spence car accident) doubted them, and we did the work. Now we are going to act two weight classes, and they say, ‘This is the stupidest thing to do. ‘It is clear that we believe in ourselves because we are going up for the challenge.

Boxing’s fake era

What is Bomac talk about? Of course, Crawford would still fight against Canelo, even if he didn’t think he could win. The inactive old lion is paid $ 100 million To fight the Mexican star after a year outside the ring, and a controversial decision against Israil Madrimov. It’s all about money. If it wasn’t about the green stuff, Crawford would have moved up to 168 and went up against it the walking guillotineDavid Banavidez, to earn the title shot against the undisputed super -middleweight champion Canelo in the traditional way. This is what Turki Alalshikh should make Crawford doing instead of just giving him the fight.

The Weng Division is that Crawford gets the fight against Canelo in the first place, because he doesn’t deserve it. This is just another of the circus fights we see, with boxing that is converted into a fake sport.
