Canelo Alvarez says underdog Terence Crawford will have to “do something else”, unlike just moving around if he wants to dethrone him on September 13.
Crawford’s underdog challenges
- Lack of power
- Age
- Weight difference
- Inactivity
It does not help that the main reason why Terence takes this battle is for the money. If he thought he could win, he would have moved up to 168 since last year and took a few tune-ups to prepare himself to win.
Crawford has not fought with anyone with Canelo’s power before, and his shots will not be difficult enough to prevent the Mexican superstar from running down. Canelo’s power benefit will be significant in this battle.
The weight differences Crawford will have to do, with two divisions from 154 to 168, it will make it difficult for him against the natural 168-pound, Canelo. Nebraska native Crawford looked average in his debut on 154 against Israil Madrimov.
His power at 147 did not transfer to 154, and he could not fight Madrimov from the way he did against opposition at Welterweight against opposition.
Canelo’s strategic benefits
“I’m not going to underestimate him. I know he’s a wonderful fighter, and he’s going to put his best in training camp. But every benefit I have is going to take it, ‘says Canelo Alvarez to Ring magazine about his fight against Terence Crawford.
It is believed that Crawford (37) will try to eliminate Canelo by hitting, moving and tying him because he does not have the power to strike him.
Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 food) does not know what Crawford (41-0, 31 COs) can do to win because he believes he has the experience of the experience of fighting many talented fighters during his 20-year career.
Crawford did not fight the big names that Canelo has, because the weight classes in which he competed during his best years did not have star power.
“I’ve been with every style. He is different because he changes his guard. I hope Terence Crawford comes with a different mentality (if William Scull) and that people enjoy the struggle, ‘Caenlo says. “For my part, don’t worry about it,” Canelo says of his intention to fight aggressively and hard. ‘
Terence’s boxing game plan
Crawford goes boxing because that’s all he can do. In his last fight against Madrimov, he was forced to box after tasting his power in the early rounds. He tried to sleep it with Madrimov, but quickly abandoned it after eating very heavy shots.
“If he wants to win, he has to do something in the fight. Not just to move around. He has to do something. And I hope he brings everything. This battle is a risk. It’s going to be a good fight, and I’m ready for everything, ‘says Canelo.
