The face of boxing, Canelo Alvarez, is alleged to get a payday of more than $ 100 million for his fight against Terence Crawford on September 12 at Las Vegas Stadium. Canelo (63-2-2, 39 COs) could earn a wallet of up to $ 150 million to defend its undisputed super-middleweight championships against Crawford (41-0, 31 COs).
Terence is expected to amount to about $ 100 million, which will be ideal for acting. He repeatedly said he was taking the fight with Canelo for a legacy “purposes, but fans believe it is a code for” I am looking for pension. “
Decreases visible
Turki Alalshikh calls it ‘The Fight of the Century’. You can’t blame him for going a little overboard with this enthusiasm for this game, because former four -divised world champion Crawford is one of his favorite fighters. It’s a good fight, but not what Turki calls it. Think of it as an old-timers type between fighters who were once at the top, but faded and approached.
The fans will enjoy seeing the two lions fighting. However, you cannot call the winner the true best at 168 because they do not fight the talented fighters Christian Mbilli, Diego Pacheco and Osleys Iglesias to prove it.
Although the outdated Omaha, Nebraska fighter nowadays rarely fights and seemed to have lost half a dozen steps in his last appearance in 2024, he may have enough left in his work pocket to defeat Alvarez. The Mexican star looks much worse. In his fight last Saturday night against the IBF Super Middleweight Champion, William Scull.
Punch statistics
– Canelo: 56 of 152 strokes thrown for a 36.8% connection rate
– Scull: 55 of 293 for 18.8%
Canelo looks ominous in his 12-round victorious victory over William Scull (23-1, 9 COs) in their undisputed super-middleweight championship fight last Saturday night at the Riyadh room. You could see the decline in the 34-year-old Canelo, as his ability to cut the ring was not there. In addition, his punch output was ominous.
Plodding -style
Alvarez looked awful and old throughout. The way he threw the ring around was hard to look at. His reduced athletics will make him vulnerable to Crawford, which would not normally have a chance against an excellent version of Canelo from 2016. At 34, the Mexican star becomes less entertaining to watch with every fight.
Alvarez’s last fight against the 193-pound Edgar Berlanga seems to be a lot to get out of him. He easily won the fight, but he took large shots of the Brooklyn, New York, in the second half of the fight after the tiring. Those blows may have taken the best part of what Canelo has left, and left behind the shell we saw against Scull last night.
“It’s the biggest battle in my career, and I look forward to it. I’m excited,” Terence Crawford said Ring magazineRespond to his mega-money fight against superstar Canelo Alvarez on September 12 in Las Vegas. ‘Canelo looked at the landscape of boxing and the opportunities and achievements.
‘The size of him and things like that. I know we’ve never been in a ring before, but it’s a wonderful opportunity for me (read: $$$) and my career. It is very exciting for me. It’s like throwing gasoline on a fire. I am very competitive, and I want to be competitive in a fight in September, ‘says Crawford.
