Shane Mosley predicts Canelo will beat Crawford “easily” in September’s ‘Fight of the Century’

Shane Mosley says Canelo Alvarez will beat Terence Crawford “easy” in September “easy”. Mosley believes that Canelo is just “too big” for Crawford (41-0, 31 COs), which shoots up two divisions for this gift title against the golden superstar Alvarez on Netflix.

Bud’s two sports

Shane admires Crawford’s talent, but the power and size he will give away against the undisputed super -middleweight champion Canelo will be too big obstacle.

“They are both wonderful fighters but Canelo is too big. They make him wrong because he is just an ordinary man at 168, and Crawford is the talented. This is not the case. They are both talented, ”Shane Mosley said to the Ring Magazine channelThe analysis of the Canelo Alvarez against Terence Crawford Fight on September 13.

Terence is a poor man’s version of Cuban William Scull. If your Scull’s power, burning hand speed, size, youth and mobility take out, you have Crawford. He is not as physically talented as Scull. We saw how well Canelo handled the physical benefits that Scull had above him. He boxed and was careful.

Canelo-Crawford: Gimmick Fight?

“The only thing is that Canelo has him through two divisions. I think Canelo beats him pretty easily, but we’ll see Terence Crawford doing well. Crawford, I’m glad for him. If he can pull it out, wonderful. But my mind tells me that Canelo is likely to beat him, ‘says Mosley.

Crawford gives a lot more away than just the natural size against Canelo. He has also never fought anyone near the competition level that Alvarez fought during his career. Terence’s best name on his resume that was not washed or broken out of a car accident is Israil Madrimov. He came close to him.

As long as the judges record the fight correctly, you can rejoice for Crawford if he wins. However, it is a bad statement about the sport that Crawford is allowed to move to 168, jump before the contenders and get a straight title against Canelo for his undisputed championship. It confirms that Canelo-Crawford just a Gimmick fight, Not a real one. If Crawford had to earn his title shot against Canelo, he would be wiped out by these contenders: Christian Mbilli, Osley Iglesias and Diego Pacheco. He would never take it to Canelo.

“I think he (Crawford) not only has to make it boring, but boring in places (for him to win). So, just because he moves around and keeps his distance doesn’t mean he’s running, ‘says Mosley. “If he can move and just stay out of the bag, he might win.”

Crawford’s running blueprint

Turki Alalshikh will be crazy if Crawford prefers to make it boring. He pays Terence Mega million for this fight, and he will expect value for his money. He could have chosen someone younger, bigger and stronger for Canelo to fight, such as Osley Iglesias or Christian Mbilli. He wanted Crawford. So it is up to him to show that Turki made the right choice.

It is not an ideal situation with Crawford pushing 38, with a year -long discharge, poor performance and two weight classes to fight at 168. It is a witch brew of things that ensures that Crawford is too much against Canelo and chooses to fight on a safety first.

“I think Canelo is going to win, because Crawford is a fighter. He is a true fighter, a real fighter, but he is in the wrong weight division,” Mosley said.

Crawford ran a lot in his fight against Viktor Postol. So you cannot exclude that he turns the fight into a Tom and Jerry competition. His coach, Brian ‘Bomac’ McIntyre, has already said he wants to use Canelo’s fighting against Mayweather and Biblical as the blueprint for Bud. Those guys ran a lot of the time, making the fights for the fans boring. Crawford may think that he can do it too and is happy with judges who enjoy his quick feet.
