The WBC -Tuss -interest featherweight champion Bruce Carrington says Canelo Alvarez’s push can be the ‘red flag’ for Terence Crawford because he had problems with the shots of his last opponent, Israil Madrimov.
Carrington notes that if Crawford (41-0, 31 COs) had problems with former WBA Junior Middlight champion Madrimov, in his move to 154 a year ago on August 3, 2024, he will be on the leading Superweight Champion Canelo (63-2-2, 39) on the leading battle in Las Vegan.
‘The obvious red flag we have to look at is the power of Canelo. When I watched Buch and Madrimov, I expected Madrimov’s style to make the fight challenging. But he said it was the power. He did not say that it was the style, ‘said WBC’s interim springweight Bruce Carrington to Sean Zittel About Terence Crawford’s last fight against WBA junior middleweight champion Israil Madrimov.
The movement and constant Feints used by Madrimov also seemed to have caused Crawford problems because he looked as if he never knew when he would throw. When Madrimov threw, he repeatedly catches him.
Carrington did not mention that the year of the dismissal Crawford in the Madrimov fight, his age whether he rose from 147 to 154. He spent a year out of the ring after Crawford’s victory over Errol Spence on July 29, 2023, was not the wise thing to do. Now Terence did this again and remained inactive for a year.
“If the power is the problem, Canelo has a lot of it. He has a lot of it, and that’s a big problem,” Carrington said. “I feel like Canelo has been adapted to a man like Crawford in terms of style. The way Crawford can adapt to someone’s style, and he is a switch. He also boxes and has long arms. ‘
Israil Madrimov’s bumps marked Crawford’s face upwards, and he didn’t load on his shots. He reaches out to hit him with quick shots. If Madrimov was busier in the second half of the fight, he would have won because he was not busy in the last six rounds.
Being a switch is not enough for Crawford to win because Canelo is doing well against Southpaws. So, if Terence chooses to fight out of the leftist attitude on September 13, it will not be the advantage that he or she fans believe it will be. Canelo has too much experience to move from Right to Lefty through Crawford all night. Changing views can hurt Crawford.
“He is taller than Canelo and has the great advantage. He is not broader in terms of muscles. He has what is needed to upset the boxing world and to be the victor in that struggle. I really believe that Bud is going to be the one lifted by his hand, ‘says Carrington.
Crawford’s range is similar to that of past Canelo opponents, including William Scull, Edgar Berlanga and Jermell Charlo. Terence’s reach is 74, and theirs were 73. Canelo could still be his shots on their land, despite reaching 2 1/2 inches. Alvarez’s reach is 70 1/2 ″.
