Can Terence Crawford’s power translate to 168? Tarver questions if he can injure Canelo to achieve a definite victory

Commenter Antonio Tarver says Terence Crawford “Can’t win a decision” Against the superstar Canelo Alvarez on September 13.

Tarver does not believe the judges will make Crawford (41-0, 31 cost) decide if he surpasses and seems to win the undisputed super-middleweight champion Canelo (63-2-2, 39 COs). This is the popularity advantage that Saul Alvarez has that will prevent B-Sy fighter Crawford from nodding through the judges.

Knockout is the only way

Tarver is questioning whether Crawford (37) can hurt Canelo because he can do so to strike him. Bud was unable to injure his last opponent, Israil Madrimov, in their fight on August 3, 2024. Crawford has not fought since the battle and will fight for the first time at 168.

Canelo against Crawford will stand at Netflix at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on September 13. The Netflix subscription price is $ 7.99 with ads per month, $ 17.99 advertising free.

“Can he hurt Canelo? This is going to be the key because you can’t knock out anything that you can’t hurt, ‘the commentator Antonio Tarver said Fight Hub TVTalk about Terence Crawford about whether he could injure Canelo Alvarez. “If Crawford is here to do 12 grueling rounds against a strong fighter like Canelo, I think his best game plan is to be in and out.”

Crawford did not show enormous power last year in his debut on 154 against Madrimov. If the extra muscle on which he was packed gave him more power, he could buzz. Crawford will be risky to sit on his shots, because Canelo is an excellent counter-puncher.

Age and discharge concerns

The duel with two divisions moves in weight, 13 months of dismissal, and his increasing age will make it difficult for him to get into a war with Alvarez. Crawford turns on September 28, 38. So, he is essentially 38, and there are not many fighters who still perform at a high level at that age.

“Never stop to allow Canelo to get three or four in you with your back against the ropes. Canelo only needs one punch. That’s what it comes down to,” Tarver said. ‘Also threatening is the controversy. Can Crawford win a close decision? I don’t think so. This is Canelo. ‘

If Crawford never keeps quiet, his chances of striking Canelo are slim. He will not be able to injure Canelo by throwing push on the flight. It is not the Errol Spence that is with a car-crash wreck that Crawford is fighting.

A tough battle for Bud

“It can be a situation or a problem. If Crawford wins 8-4, they say it is a draw, or they give it to Canelo. I think if Crawford is going to guarantee victory, he should stop him. This will be the challenge. Can he hurt himself, and he can prevent him from being knocked out?
