Canelo-Crawford photo ignited debate

New era marketing
That, that new school The approach to hiping their struggle is strange to the traditionalists, who speak trash, mood and intimidation during the build -up for fighting to create interest. Fans of the old school expect to snub and pure anger between two fighters on their way to the fight.
There are many fans who have the Canelo-Crawford match as a Business -driven opportunity rather than a sporty one. Crawford has never fought on 168 and is moving two weight classes from 154 to 168 to challenge Canelo (63-2-2, 39 COs) for his undisputed super-middleweight championship.
Terence is about to turn 38 has chosen not to wet his feet by adjusting at 168. For Crawford to take at least one vote at 168, it makes it clear that he just goes up for the money. It is probably his retirement pay day to allow the old wolf to live like a king Beverly Hills, Call Air or Holmby HillsCalifornia, along with other mega millionaires.

“After the last performance of Canelo, he struggled against a man to cut off the ring, a longer man who didn’t try to make it a fight,” Sergio Mora said Fighting typeTalk about Canelo Alvarez’s last fight against William Scull on May 3.
Does Canelo lose his lead?
The performance of Canelo looked terrible against William Scull. Alvarez threw only 152 strokes and landed 56 in the entire 12-round battle. You also can’t blame it on Scull’s movement because he was very quiet, but Canelo looked too tired to attack. Age caught him in that battle.
‘Canelo lost a step. Let’s be really, ‘says Mora.’ It is a man with over 65 battles. He has been fighting professionally since he was 15 years old. There are wear and tear and injuries. He can grow old overnight. And believe it or not, he’s younger than Crawford, but Crawford doesn’t have those miles. Crawford is 37 years old. He can grow old overnight, but I still like Crawford. “
Canelo looked like a classic example of a rinsed fighter against Scull. He couldn’t pull the trigger, look old and tired. The years trapped him in that battle. Fighters grow old overnight, especially if they take very heavy shots from a fighter in the crossweight like Edgar Berlanga.
Fans do not realize how hard Berlanga has hit Canelo in the championships. He hit harder than he had since his first two fights against Gennadiy Golovkin.
“He’s a common guy. He had gained nicely, ‘Mora said of Crawford. “He did it properly. He now looks bigger than Canelo, in terms of height and shoulders. I think it’s going to be a decision of the decision. I think Crawford is in this battle. And I don’t think Canelo leaves intact. ‘
Crawford did not look good against the WBA junior middleweight champion, Israil Madrimov. He was fortunate to achieve victory. If Madrimov did not go out in the championships, Terence would lose that battle. It was close.
“I think he’ll have a little bruised and beaten, but he’ll still win the decision,” Mora says, forecasting a win for Canelo over Crawford.
