Canelo vs. Crawford: Alvarez Confident, Crawford Defiant on Fight Strategy for September 13 showdown

Canelo Alvarez looked ready and confident at the press conference in Riyadh today and told Terence Crawford that he will not win “in Las Vegas on September 13.

Interestingly, it seemed as if a challenging sounding Crawford had sent a message to Turki Alalshikh without mentioning his name and saying: “I’m not going to let anyone tell me how to fight.” In other words, if Crawford prefers to use movement, as his coach Brian ‘Bomac’ McIntyre mentions he would, he will. That’s what I was afraid of. Notice the attitude with Crawford?

Alvarez confident, Crawford Defiant

What else would you expect from an outdated fighter who pops up two weight classes to challenge Canelo at 168? Turki will be furious if Crawford turns the fight into a Tom and Jerry show, but it will be too late by that time. Why in the world chose Turki Crawford?

The way in which the undisputed super-middleweight champion Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 COs) spoke, you can say that he will beat the living daylights from Crawford (41-0, 31 food) when he comes to fight and does not run.

Turki’s ko bonus unlikely

Turki mentions that there would be a ‘bonus’ for a ko in this battle. It is clear that it is not something that Crawford will benefit from, because he has shown no power in his recent build -up from 147 to 154 in his fight against ‘Little GGG’, Israil Madrimov last August. He got bigger, but his power did not carry.

‘Any fighter can be knocked out. Canelo has a granite -know. He has been injured several times, but given the right circumstances, someone can be knocked out. I’m always going to get up to a big opportunity. That’s my moment, and I don’t let it take it away from me.
