Shawn Porter says he is concerned about Terence Crawford’s ability to record the bumps of Canelo Alvarez over the 12 rounds of their head liner on September 13. Porter mentions that Canelo (63-2-2, 39 COs) will get out of the blocks quickly, and Crawford (41-0, 31 COs) will slowly wear his heavy shots.
Porter is worried about knowing Crawford
“I am concerned about taking up a Canelo Punch, especially throughout 12 rounds,” Shawn Porter said to fight Hub TV and talk about his concerns for Terence Crawford. “I know that about Canelo. He’s going to delay. ‘
Crawford has not been hit by anyone with Canelo’s power before, and he will be hit regularly when he comes to fight on September 13. Terence’s sparring partners do not have the power or the same fighting style that Alvarez uses for him to get comfortable with it.
The dangerous Canelo -Linker hook
The left hook -screw shot The Canelo throw will be especially dangerous for Crawford. Alvarez uses incorrect guidance because it appears that it is aimed at the middle of his opponent because he was thrown so low. But bring the shot to the head and catch his opponents surprise. He dropped Edgar Berlanga with the same shot and had the whole battle William Scull in a state of terror. Berlanga could take it because he weighed 193 pounds on the night of the fight, but Crawford is not expected to be almost as heavy.
“I think, if anything, Canelo will try to start quickly, and hit him and break him down before it comes later and he still has the kind of steam,” Porter said. “There are so many components that make a champion.”
Canelo will start quickly, not only because he tries to break him down, but also not left behind early. The last thing he wants is to put himself in a hole in the first half of the fight and be in a desperate situation in the second half. You can’t do it against Crawford because he’ll get on his bike and coast like Viktor Postol.
It was the one where he slapped, moved and put out his tongue at Postol, who couldn’t catch up to him to get back into the fight after he fell early. It was boring to look at, but it was effective for Crawford.
“There are so many components that make a legend. There’s so much to go in,” Porter said. “It’s a conversation that takes an hour easily when we talk about all the components that Terence Crawford has. All the components that Canelo have, and how they are even out, and who trump each other. We tried to do it with Errol Spence and Terence Crawford. And we saw how things were, ‘says Porter.
Errol Spence was another case. When he fought Crawford, he went through a car accident that physically ruined him, eye operations, weight drained and in a year of inactivity. Canelo is another animal. He does not have the things against him in this struggle.
