Canelo -Crawford: Vegas Fight Confirm – Boxing News 24

Canelo Alvarez confirmed that his fight against Terence Crawford will be in Las Vegas on September 13. He says they are still working on the struggle that is being staged at Allegiant Stadium.

Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 food) mentions that Las Vegas is the ideal location for his collision against Crawford (41-0, 31 COs) because it is perfect for Mexican Independence Day. It is alleged that Southern California or Texas are the two other options to set up the Canelo-Crawford match, but it seems Vegas seems to be where it happens.

The 40-ish Crawford will essentially rise to Welterweight, three divisions, to challenge Canelo, 35, for his undisputed super-middleweight championship. One of the marketing angles for the fight is that it allows Crawford to become an undisputed champion of three divisions.

It is doubtful that someone else will care about the ultra-hardcore stat freak fans focusing on records. Regular fans just want to see a good fight between high quality, well -known fighters. It would have helped a lot if Crawford had gone up to 168 and recorded David Banavidez to earn the Canelo battle instead of giving it on a silverboard through Turki Alalshikh.

Allegiant stage: Place update

“We are still working on it, but we’re going to make sure everything is best,” Canelo Alvarez told the media When asked if the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas is still being considered for his fight against Terence Crawford on September 13.

Performance Canelo against Crawford makes sense to Las Vegas because it benefits from the Mexican superstar from California, Nevada and Texas. It is ideal to set up the fight at Allegiant Stadium, to have a great multitude to put the fans intrigued by this new battle at the latest level.

“It’s a fight the people should enjoy in Las Vegas.” When asked where the fight would be staged, Canelo said: ‘Vegas. Yes, of course. There is no better weekend in Vegas than the Mexican Independence Day. ‘

Putting the fight in Riyadh will harm interest due to time, and it can be difficult for the outdated Canelo. He looked Hellies in his last battle, and on May 3 he struggled in Saudi Arabia to defeat William Scull. Alvarez, 35, looked at every bit of his age and then some. I don’t know that we can blame the poor performance of Canelo on him in a different time zone in Riyadh, because it seemed more like he was showing signs from across the hill.

If you take the 27-year-old version of Canelo who first fought Gennadiy Golovkin in 2017 against Scull in May last year, he would probably have destroyed the Cuban. Unfortunately for Alvarez, he no longer fights that way, and he was fortunate that Scull no longer showed aggression because he probably would have lost.

Canelo explains Riyadh form

‘Of course, it was a new experience. Everything was very different for me to fight as a night in the morning. It’s hard. Your body feels off. You feel disoriented, but it is part of the experience, ‘says Canelo, and explains why he did not perform well, and fight in a different time zone than in North America.

Notice the excuses of Canelo? He does not want to admit that he has grown old and does not even deal with timid, poor fighters like Scull. Let’s be clear about this: Canelo did not struggle against Scull due to the time zone. He had problems because he was no longer a spring chicken with the same with the soon 38-year-old Crawford. Both are remnants from a bygone era

He looked in his last battle against Israel Madrimov on August 3, and then looked spiritually unaware and said that he was “He’s hitting him.” Crawford even rejected “Little GGG” Madrimov’s power and told the media it was “nothing I’ve never seen before”.

It was difficult to see Crawford seriously bruised with his face badly, and more noticed than any fight in his 17-match card. He looked like a tractor trailer ran over him, and yet he put Madrimov’s power down after the fight. However, Turki Alalshikh still wanted to use Crawford for the Canelo fight rather than young talents like David Benavidez. I would never have given a different thought after the Madrimov struggle if it was me.

“I’m glad I reached one of my dreams to fight outside the US or Mexico. Very good. I am very happy to work with him, ‘Canelo said about his thoughts on working with Turki Alalshikh.

I can imagine that Canelo’s happiness works with Turki. He has rumored to get $ 150 million For the fantasy-level circus fight against Crawford. I would also be happy to fight a welter weight of 40 instead of earning the dough that David Benavidez is fighting.
