Jermall Charlo says Terence Crawford makes the same mistake as his brother, Jermell Charlo, made when he recorded to get up from 154 to 168 to challenge Canelo Alvarez for his titles in 2023.
Jermell was too slow after wearing the weight and did not have the same speed he had when fighting for junior middleweight. Crawford’s frame is smaller than Jermell’s, and will be an easy prey for Canelo (63-2-2, 39 KO) to beat chips in their battle on September 13 at the Allegiant Stage in Las Vegas.
Jermall questions what Crawford’s general purpose is to go to the super -middle weight for this fight. He notes that Crawford is not a 168-pound, and that he has not fought in the weight class before. He didn’t want to take a tune-up. So what is his rationale?
“My brother fought against Canelo, not me. I like Crawford in this battle, and he looked like to stay big. But my brother even told me that this is the mistake he made, ‘Jermall Charlo told the mediaTalk about his brother, Jermell Charlo, wore weight and moved up from 154 to challenge Canelo Alvarez in 2023.
We saw Jermell stopping trying after being hit with a few shots two years ago in the fight against Canelo. His own blows had no influence on the Mexican star, as his power did not gain from 154. Crawford’s situation is even worse. He succeeded on August 3 on August 3 on August 3 from 147 to 154 in his last fight against Israel Madrimov.
“He thought about going into weight,” I have to get massive. I have to grow up to beat Canelo. “It made him slower.
Jermall is right. With the weight that Crawford has packed over the past year, he will be slow, slow and an easy target for Canelo’s big power photos. Once Terence feels that power of the Mexican star, he will be on his bike and step as quickly as possible to survive.
‘You want to grow up to try to absorb Canelo’s push. But technically, it’s not the Crawford we’re going to see. Crawford will fight against Canelo on 168 if he is not a 168-pound. Where is the motivation? You have to think about it, ”says Jermall.
It is clear what Crawford’s motivation is for him to go to 168 to challenge Canelo. That is money. He wants retirement cash to live like a great king in Omaha, Nebraska. Bud showed us that by not moving up to 168 and only watering his feet by fighting once before his September 13 match.
It is not as if Crawford did not have the chance to fight at 168 and take a setup. His last fight was against Israel Madrimov on August 3, which means he had 13 months of free time to take a warm -up collision at Super Middle Weight against one of these contenders:
– Christian Milli
– Edgar Berlanga
– Osleys Iglesias
– Caleb plant
