Coach Bernie Tha Boxer confirmed that Terence Crawford against Canelo Alvarez is “on September 13.”
Bernie says Crawford (41-0, 31 CO’s) earned the fight against the United Super Middell Midwege Canelo (62-2-2, 39 COs) with what he achieved, and he doesn’t have to move to 168 to beat any not of the contenders to prove himself. What he did from 135 to 154 is enough.
Canelo-Crawford confirmed
Bernie says Crawford’s name will come first before Canelo’s for the 13th September match. Of course, it’s hard to believe. It sounds like a bustle From Crawford and his team, but if Turki al-Sheikh is willing to pay for the 38-year-old knob to get two weight classes to fight Canelo, that’s what he wants. Depending on what the wallets are for Canelo and Crawford, it can make a profit. I don’t think it will be low if the PPV price is low.
Canelo will be the one who brings fans in, because Crawford is not a pay-per-view draw. Even with his fight against Ishmael Madrimov with a bottom map loaded with big fights last August, it didn’t buy much.
‘Super fight, mega-fight. Why should he do this after all he has achieved and all he showed in the ring? Why would he do that? “Did coach Bernie Tha Boxer said Fighting typeRespond to criticism from fans, who feel that Terence Crawford must prove himself at 168 to show that he is earning a fight against the United Super Middell Midwewe Champion Canelo Alvarez.
“The things he did were barely done before. Twice undisputed, united champion in three weights, but (won) four (sections). He has been on the pound-by-pound list for ten years. What can you ask for more? We didn’t get the Pacquiao Fight or Mayweather or anyone from that caliber. That’s the fight, ”says Bernie.
Crawford did not fight a major opposition to becoming an undisputed champion of two divisions. He was like another Adrien Broner and won four divisional world titles against marginal opposition. Terence never beat big fighters to win any of his titles in any weight division. He is well practiced to prevent him from being beaten.

Size does not matter
‘The man (Canelo) is bigger and has a lot of experience. He is young. Canelo is 34 or 35, something like that. Nothing ever comes easy for us. We never got pacquiao or a man of our size with a global impact he has. They made sure they stayed away from us. It’s no different, ”says Bernie.
You may argue that Crawford late in his career evades fighters of his own in the same way Pacquiao did when he was 37 or 38 and showed no interest in fighting him. Crawford does not rush to fight against Jaron Ennis, Bakhram Murtazaliev, Vergil Ortiz or Serhii Bohachuk. He does the same thing that Pacquiao was late in his career, and chooses and chooses.
“We are taking on difficult challengers, and we hit them. So, they give us Canelo Alvarez, a hard puncher an IQ of just the same caliber and a legend. These are the only challenges Crawford was looking for, and that’s just right. We deserved this challenge to be on the big stage in a mega fight in a super fight in what we call a David against Goliat battle.
‘Again, we have many disadvantages in this struggle as far as weight, as far as strength, and many things on an equal footing as far as achievements and skills. We will climb that mountain. It’s on, baby. September 13, look forward to it. Crawford vs. Canelo. Like I said, Crawford against Canelo. Yes, it was confirmed. Crawford vs. Canelo, not the other way around.
“Team Crawford gets up. Pound-for-pound, the best in the world. Soon the Super Middleweight Champion of the World will be, ”says Bernie.
