Terence Crawford has placed its current 186 pounds of weight While preparing for his September 13 match against the Unified Upper Middleweight Champion Canelo Alvarez. If Crawford rehydrates to that weight, he will be slow and slow, making him easy for Canelo. To add weight does not go the Fountain of youth For Crawford. He will only be an old 190 pound, several weight classes above where he has to be 147.
This battle is similar to Turki Al-Sheikh’s novelty fights, who involved former UFC champion Francis Ngannou that Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have been adopted in boxing matches without proving himself.
Crawford does nothing to show that he deserves to move two divisions to challenge Canelo for his super -middleweight titles. That’s why it was strange that Turki fought against Canelo against Jake Paul on May 3. Turki argued that Canelo fighting Jake will not help set the ‘big fight’ against Crawford in September.
This is a lot of weight Crawford, 37, will have to lose if he cuts off until 168 for his undeserved title against WBA, WBC and WBO champion Alvarez in Turki’s Riyadh season.
No tune-up
Crawford is not going to fight to prepare himself for his match against Canelo, which is a sign that he is concerned about the loss of someone and misses the payday. Terence almost hit his last fight and moved up to 154 against Israel Madrimov.
To stand up, nebraska native Golovkin-Esque or his chin is not going to magically. He will be the same Crawford who showed zero in his last fight at 154. He will still be a 38 fighter moving to 168 without getting a big bag and then retiring or returning to 154.

“I don’t want to say it’s impossible for Crawford, but if he really wants to win against Canelo, he’ll have to do everything,” Keith ‘says once’ Thurman to Fight Hub TV About Terence Crawford has to do something special to defeat Canelo Alvarez.
“You’ll have to run uphill. You will have to practice at great heights. You will have to do every little thing that meditates you that athletic lead and a lot. You must see the victory before the victory manifests.
‘Whether I’m going to set the trap. He will want to counter me, so I’m going to counter his counter. I’m not going to say that it is impossible for Crawford, but it is one of the things to be planned, trained and methodically delivered on the battle night. “
Thurman speaks as usual a lot of nonsense. Crawford can meditate on all he wants to meditate and run on the hills, but he will still be old and too small to beat Canelo at 168. For Crawford to have a chance to beat Canelo, he would have needed to move a long time to Super Mid -Light ago. He does not have the power, true size and youth to pull out a dismay. I don’t think that’s what this fight is all about.
The payday
It is only Crawford who gets a pension payday and Turki, a fan of him, who helps him. If Turki wanted to make it really interesting, he would have said Crawford to move up 168 and hit one or two of the top fighters. He doesn’t.
“The other thing is how athletic is that he’s going to move on to him with the extra weight. Like I said, ”Crawford said. “It’s important to train and have the best camp you can. The high height, get all the oxygen and use all the bio-hacking things to your advantage to make a dismay.
“You’re going to go home a winner. You did wonderful things in boxing, Crawford, that is. Canelo too. They must be both winners. Both must be legends, but if Crawford wants to be something that can never be compared.
‘Floyd beat Canelo, but we know what Canelo Floyd beat. He beat the young Canelo, not really ready for the Big Boys Canelo. If Crawford beat, he beat Big Boy, Canelo, ”says Thurman.
