Questions Avoid
Turki seemed to want Canelo to start marketing ‘The Big Fight’ early, as he calls it, against Crawford, and he didn’t want to. The true big battle is Canelo against David Benvidez, not an elderly, non-deserved Crawford, which in his debut in 154 looked awful. You can not blame it for not wanting to be like a puppet stretchedsaid the words Turki wanted him to.
This is the game that Turki really wants for some reason, although Terence has never fought at 168, two divisions would go up and in line with many contenders who worked hard for their lap.
If Turki is an old school box traditionalist, he should have insisted that Crawford go up to 168 and earn the title against Canelo as fighters in the past. What he does is not an old school.
Crawford should have to go to Super Middle Weight and Start this little gauntlet To prove himself worthy of a title shot:
– David benavidez
– Osleys Iglesias
– David Morrell
– Diego Pacheco
– Christian Milli
If Crawford beats all five fighters, he will have earned his title against Canelo. This is the old school method. Apart from that, Crawford does not judge the opportunity to meet the king of the division. How would Crawford feel if he kept four titles at 154 and an old guy out of the 140-pound division wanted to move two weight classes to fight him in a one-off to get a retirement? He doesn’t want to do it.
That’s all you can call it. An old old, bud, with a bloated resume takes a year off to prevent him from losing and moving on two weight classes to challenge Canelo for a one -time. It is no different than former UFC champion Francis Ngannou, in his debut in Boxing, Tyson Fury in Riyadh – just pure circus. These are things that influence.
Canelo bends off
Alvarez refused to say in Riyadh on May 3 at the press conference today for his match against Scull (23-0, 9 COs)
Todd Grisham, “Canelo, everyone knows that a possible performance with Terence Crawford awaits in September. He decided not to fight until then, but you said you were going to fight in May. Why take the risk? “
Canelo Alvarez: “I like to be active. We don’t have a fight in September. We have this fight, and then we see the September battle. But I’m 100% focused on William Scull. “
Turki Alalshikh: “Hello everyone. You know, I respect the Cuba Boxing School, but now I ask as a fan. My question is for Canelo. There is one item missing from you. Will you be completed on May 3 on May 3 on September 12 in Vegas in Vegas The great struggle (Crawford)? Complete the items (ie, collect the missing IBF 168-pound belt to become an undisputed super-middleweight champion).
Canelo: “Hey, man. I’m going to look good (Canel choose not to answer Turki’s front question to start an early promotion for the Crawford Celebrity Fight). “
Turki: “There is one item you are missing. That belt (Turki points to his ring magazine undisputed title). “
Canelo: “The belt. I got you. Don’t worry. “
Here is one corner of the face. You can see here; They bring the WBC belt and Turki shake his head no! pic.twitter.com/b8iw3sifrs
