Regis Prograis see no way Terence Crawford will defeat the undisputed super-middleweight champion of the Super Middleweight on September 13. Prograis point out that Crawford (41-0, 31 COs) jumps up two weight classes and not just fights against a larger fighter, but someone who is “so damningly good”.
Power concern for Crawford
Crawford attracts weight, but the extra size does not guarantee it will have an increase in power. It doesn’t work that way. Fighters who suddenly come up are rarely stronger than they were when they were lighter. The extra weight delays it, causing them to be tired faster.
In Crawford’s case, it’s just weight going against him. He has been inactive for a long time, for a year outside the ring, and has only fought annually since 2020. He did not show the motivation to fight two to three times a year like other fighters.
Laziness theory examined
Is it laziness or his desire to enjoy himself for long periods? If someone hates working and he has been a millionaire for years, it is understandable why he would kick back. Whatever the reason, it doesn’t matter. Crawford was still inactive, and he is not young at 38-ish. He can say he is young at his age, but he did not look it in his last battle.
He looked everything 38 when he fought against Israel Madrimov in August in August, and that was a year ago. Now Terence can easily succeed for 39. He will not be looked at if he prefers to go to a liquor store, it is certain.
Prograis over Crawford’s size
“I’ve always been high on Crawford, but at the same time, you fight someone so damningly and big. Millcity Boxing About what Terence Crawford oppose, and moving two weight classes to challenge Canelo Alvarez for his undisputed Super Middleweight Championship on September 13. “It’s hard for me to say Bud is going to win. I was a Crawford fan. ‘
Crawford could have helped himself if he used the year that he was out of the ring to move to 168 and fight one of the contenders to stay sharp. Why didn’t he do it? One theory is that Crawford does not want to be exposed and shows that he is too small, old and is unable to make the weight jump. In other words, fear.
The only other explanation for Terence that does not do so is laziness. He did not want to do the hard work to return, grow up and be handled after training camp.
“I know that Crawford probably haunted heavyweights,” Regis said. “But it’s always different when you come in with a person, and that person can take your bumps, and it depends on how well Crawford can take the bumps of Canelo. Jermell (Charlo), looks much bigger than Canelo, but then they fought, and you can see the difference. You can see the size difference. ‘
It wasn’t just the size. When Jermell got into the ring with Canelo, he couldn’t handle the power. After being hit by Canelo, he no longer wanted. He did not have that GGG treasury to stand in the bag and fight Canelo.
Canelo’s Build: A Challenge
“It’s different if you weigh in with someone,” Progais says. ‘Jermell was bigger (than Canelo). It’s a big difference when you’re there with that person. We’re going to see it now. Currently Crawford looks the same as Canelo. Body he looks the same. Crawford seems to be getting bigger. ‘
Terence is as great as Canelo, but its power will not be improved about what it was a year ago. When he was fighting and fighting against Madrimov at 154, Crawford still strikes like a welter weight. His shots had no effect. Against Canelo it will be even more striking.
“When you get into the ring it will always be different. Canelo is short and squat. His neck is out here. Canelo is built like a wrestler,” Prograis said.
