Shows ‘real box’ on Netflix: Turki Alalshikh’s plea to Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford for a knockout

Turki Alalshikh says he wants the Canelo Alvarez to impress the Netflix audience against Terence Crawford Superfight by holding a ‘good fight’ that ‘seven or eight rounds’ at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Alalshikh believes that, despite the fact that none of the fighters look in their last fighting, they will perform better because it is a ‘legacy fight.’ The amount of pressure and interest that exists in this battle will motivate the two outdated fighters to return the clock to rediscover a part of their youth to entertain the large audience who will look at Netflix and Allegiant Stage.

Turki’s Netflix Boxing Vision

‘Let’s show Netflix real box,‘Say Turki Alalshikh to ring the magazine X About the Canelo Alvarez against Terence Crawford Superfight to impress the Netflix audience and platform on Saturday. “I want to explain why it’s” the fight of the century “.”

Turki’s high expectations for Crawford and Canelo to deliver an impressive achievement put a lot of pressure on it. None of them looked good in their recent battles, especially Crawford, who lost near his fight against Israil Madrimov at Alalshikh’s event at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles on August 3, 2024.

The undisputed super-middleweight champion Canelo (63-2-2, 39 COs) is still able to fight against fighters. But as his last fight against William Scull showed earlier this year on May 3, he can’t cut off the ring against fighters stuck and move.

Crawford’s ‘Tom and Jerry’ style

If Crawford followed the exact blueprint that Scull showed, he could defeat Canelo, but it would be boring for the supporters at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. In addition, it will disappoint the Netflix audience and the top buyer managers in the business.

Crawford, who has a painfully boring performance on Saturday night to watch, is poison for Netflix and Turki. It would be a disaster if Terence took a show in Tom and Jerry style, and wanted to win at all costs by playing it safely.

While he could win, he would make himself and Turki look bad in the eyes of Netflix. That’s why it was a venture for Alalshikh to choose Crawford as Canelo’s opponent for what he calls ‘the fight of the century’, rather than a historically more entertaining fighter, such as Artur Bererbiev, David Benavidez, or Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis.

I believe that the main reason Crawford did not become a star during his career is not due to his lack of opportunities. This is his dull fighting style.

“Canelo is now the biggest name in boxing, and Crawford is unbeaten and has the chance to be undisputed for the third time. Perhaps this is the last battle to be Crawford. Canelo does not want to be beaten by a man who goes on two or three weights,” says Turki.

It is a no-win situation for Canelo that stands up against a fighter who moves three weight classes. If he struggles to win or if he loses, it will be dumped by fans. If he strikes Crawford, he will not receive the credit because he is basically fighting a stuffed welter weight and an outdated one.

Alalshikh’s high expectations

Turki says he came near Canelo during the build -up, and he is now divided over who he wants to win. He mentions that he hopes for a ‘good fight’ that lasts six or seven rounds. He wants a knockout end, which makes sense in terms of drama and entertainment.

Alalshikh wants the Allegiant Stadium fans to become ‘crazy’ on Saturday night with the excitement of the Canelo Crawford match. This will again depend on whether Crawford prefers to fight or keep or move the blueprint of the shell.

Crawford’s lack of astronomy

Turki says that Crawford “deserves” this battle, and he does not understand why he did not get opportunities earlier in his career. I think the reasons why Crawford doesn’t get the big battles:

1. Switch-hit counter-puncher
2. Highly mobile, jab-heavy fighter
3. Low social media activity
4. Not a big talk
5. Box politics

Turki says Canelo has two more fights on his contract and will fight in Saudi Arabia in February or March. He mentions that in 2027 he will offer two extra battles.
