Terence Crawford looked great at the ceremonial setting of today, and it seems he was in the highlight of the 170s for his title challenge against the undisputed super-middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez on Saturday night at the Allegiant Stage in Las Vegas. Crawford looked bigger than Canelo on stage when they stood for their face.
A slower, heavier passage
After weighing on a career-high 167 1/2 pound earlier Friday, Crawford (41-0, 31 COs) had nine rounds to hydrate before the ceremonial weighing in at 9pm. At that time he gained a lot of weight. Crawford had a swollen appearance, such as someone who had a lot of water weight in a short period of time.
An old man’s appearance
Crawford was so heavy that he looked like an old man with his heavy corridor, who waved to the stage. You can see that the weight has delayed its normal step rate. His body looked like a large, muscular muscular, muscle weight.
The way the 38-Ish Crawford looks like he should try a knockout earlier, because I believe he will hit a lot by Canelo (63-2-2, 39 COs) in this battle because of the loss of speed and the weight he carries. He looks much bigger than he did in his last fight against Israel Madrimov in 2024.
Madrimov recently warned against Crawford who followed up for the Canelo fight and told Fight Hub TV: “The only thing Terence should avoid is to gain weight. I would never gain weight for Canelo. I will stick to what Crawford is.”
It seems that Crawford did not have the advice of Madrimov to him, and he could pay for it tonight if he walked in the ring against Canelo. He should have listened to Madrimov because he was too slow for battle and took more punishment than he had ever had before.
The Canelo power test
“I think the key to this battle is the power of Canelo. It’s going to be a lot to do with. He goes to the body and he goes to the chin. Eddy Reynoso, if he goes through the little feints, he wants you to do everything hard. So, if you do it wrong, it’s night. weigh-in For Canelo’s fight against Terence Crawford.
Many people forget that it is not just about Crawford’s weight. Tonight’s struggle is determined by how well Crawford can take Canelo’s power. Although Terence now looks like a true super -middle weight in size, it does not mean that he will be able to take Alvarez’s push.
‘Canelo was not in the best form for his fight against William Scull. He told me in training camp that he is always better than May. ‘
