Roy Jones jr. Say Terence Crawford can’t afford to run against Canelo Alvarez because it will give him the confidence to chase him on September 13.
Jones jr. Want Crawford (41-0, 31 food) to stand and fight that is undisputed super-middleweight champion Canelo (63-2-2, 39 COs) from Round One to show his power. Roy does not say what the Plan B is for Crawford if he cannot handle the power of Canelo.
Why run “stupid”
“You’re completely wrong. First thing is, how are you going to move and run from Canelo? You’re going to give him everything he wants. It’s stupid, ‘said Roy Jones Jr. Seconds Asked whether Terence Crawford should use movement to avoid Canelo Alvarez all night on September 13.
Spence Fight Anomaly
Crawford is going to move because he did it throughout his career. The only battle he did not run was when he drained the car accident wreck, weight drained, inactive Errol Spence Jr. in 2023.
Terence can’t do it against Canelo because he won’t be the equivalent of a ghoul that night. He is going to be powerful, vigilant and will be looking for holes by Crawford.
“If you run from a big man, you give him all the confidence he wants.” Ah, all I had to do is catch him. He is running now. He doesn’t want to fight. All I had to do is catch him. “No, you’re not going there with that mentality.
There is a big difference between what Roy Jones jr. Fought against the then WBA heavyweight champion John Ruiz in 2003, and Crawford essentially moved up three weight classes to challenge the powerful Canelo for his undisputed super-middleweight championship.
Ruiz was not a puncher; He was a client, and he was considered the worst link between the champions at the time. Roy jr. Knew what he was doing and choose him rather than the other three champions. It was a cherry choice on his part.
Early rounds are important
“Listen, I’m coming here. I’m going to give the scale as a heavyweight, and I’ll make you feel like I’m a heavyweight in the first round. Bud must do the same, ‘says Jones jr.
Well, Jones Jr. Chose to mix it early if he adopted these two heavyweights at the time in 2003:
– Lennox Lewis: WBC
– Corrie Sanders: WBO
If Roy fought them aggressively in the first round, he would be knocked out. So, giving Crawford advice that he would not have followed in his own career is useless. Jones jr. Would never have fought like that if he were to fight the best rather than the worst link.
“He must drop the scale to 168 pounds, and he must make you feel like he is a 168 pound when he hits the ring. If you don’t do it in the early part, you’re going to have a problem now, ‘says Jones Jr.
Turki Alalshikh’s expectations
It would be great if Crawford prefers to fry from Round One with Canelo, because he is paid a lot of money by Turki Alalshikh, allegedly $ 50 million. It would put a smile on Turki’s face as Crawford rather than run, as he did in his last fight against Israil Madrimov. It was a boring chess match.
