Former champion for heavyweight Mike Tyson says it is “Too much weight” For Terence Crawford to jump against his fight against his fight against the undisputed super -middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez on September 13.
Tyson doesn’t like the fight, and he mentions that Crawford (41-0, 31 COs) had problems in his last fight against Israel Madrimov in a weight string of one division of 147 to 154.
Tyson’s attitude about the battle
“I don’t like the fight. Too much weight. Crawford struggled with (Israil) Madrimov, a big, uncomfortable guy; he shouldn’t have fought him, ‘said Mike Tyson Bein sport About his thoughts on the Canelo Alvarez against Terence Crawford Fight.
Former heavyweight Tyson champion acknowledges how difficult it will be for Crawford who will go up two divisions to challenge Mexican superstar Canelo for his four 168 -pound belts. Tyson arouses a good point over Crawford who struggled in his move to 154 in his last battle against WBA junior middleweight champion Israil Madrimov, on August 3, 2024. Crawford recorded Madrimov to win a unanimous 12-round decision by the scores 115-113, 115-113 and 115-113.
“Terence is skilled, but I see him as bloated and without real experience in this weight class,” coach Abel Sánchez said.
It is still unclear whether Crawford will be “bloated” for the battle. He looks bigger than he was for his last battle in 2024. Sanchez is correct about Terence who has at 168 experience. He can regret his decision not to get experience in the weight class before fighting against Canelo.
‘Canelo fought bigger guys. I know that Crawford’s power is not going to phase him. Crawford’s size is not going to phase him either, ‘said Edgar Berlanga, contender for the super -middle weight. Fight Hub TV. “For me, I think it’s a 50-50 fight.”
Canelo has been fighting larger fighters than Crawford since 2016. Although Crawford has reached a 3 1/2 inch, Canelo is still the naturally larger fighter.
Power will not be Canelo phase
‘Crawford has to go in there and fight against him. He must show him his IQ and why he is a two -time undisputed world champion. It is a great weight difference and a large weight string. This can be the difference in battle. If he loses, we know that he has jumped two weight classes to be big, ‘says Berlanga.
Crawford is unlikely to mix it with Canelo because of the size and power difference. Crawford was willing to fight aggressively and move from 147 to 154 pounds for his collision with Madrimov. He took some big shots from Madrimov into that battle. Now that Crawford is jumping on two divisions to fight against Alvarez on 168, it is unrealistic to assume that he will roast with him.
The Bivol -Blouprint
Fans believe Crawford will take the in-and-out strategy that Dmitri Biblical employed to defeat Canelo three years ago on May 7, 2022, will box and use. He has never been long enough for Canelo to load.
