Gabe Rosado says Terence Crawford will not move much in his fight with Canelo Alvarez on September 13. He notes that Crawford (41-0, 31 CO’s) is a fighter and does not move much in his fights. With the weight he took for their fight, he would not be able to move even if he wanted to do it.
“People say Canelo has problems with relatives. The reality is that Crawford is not a keeper. Crawford is a fighter who works on corners. He’s not on his feet like Muhammad Ali. He’s not the kind of boxer,” Gabe Rosado said Fight Hub TV. “So he’s going to be there to be hit, and it’s in favor of Canelo.”
Crawford’s do-of-the-mission
The weight of Crawford will make it even more difficult to move around. He seems to have made up his mind and are on a do-of-the-mission. Terence is at its extra size enough to carry him to a win. If not, he will have tried at least. He would not be slender, too small and weak to compete with Alvarez.
“Overnight, will Crawford switch his style and become a mover, move three weight classes? Now you’re going to put all the weight, and you’ve never boxed so before. How can you? I just don’t see him change his style, ‘says Gabe.
It is years ago that Crawford did a lot in a fight. When he went up in weight to 147 in 2018, it was when he began to delay. The last time he moved a lot was against Viktor Postol in 2016. He was 28 at the time. Crawford turned 38 next month on September 28, and he could no longer move.
Terence’s pride and ego risk
“Crawford is a man with heart, and he is really a fighter. There will come a time when Canelo catches him, his pride and his ego comes in there, he will try to get it back. It’s going to open the opportunities for Canelo to land big shots,” Rosado said.
Terence does not want to fight a Jerry-type fight with Turki Alalshikh sitting in the front row at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The feelings of guilt would eat Crawford because he paid $ 50 million. He doesn’t want Turki running all night.
