The decisive error? Why Israil Madrimov believes

Israil Madrimov says Terence Crawford has a “50-50” shot to beat Canelo Alvarez, only if its weight is below 168 for their September 13 match at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. He believes that if Crawford acted for the fight, he would lose.

Terence’s new physique

Bud (41-0, 31 costs) is surely looked up and now looks like a super-middle weight. He hit the weights hard and added many muscles that turned his appearance into another person. If Madrimov is right, Crawford loses 100%.

“It’s an interesting struggle now. Watching the whole world. No one expected it, but thanks to (Turki Alalshikh) and Riyadh, we get the fight, ‘Israil Madrimov said Fight Hub TV About the Canelo Alvarez against Terence Crawford Fight next month. “I want to help Terence prepare, but I’m not at this stage to help him with my abilities now.”

Even if Madrimov Crawford helps, it will not be helpful. His fighting style is nothing like Canelo’s. If there is anything, it will work against Crawford to use Madrimov to save help, as it would harm his confidence as he would be dominated in sparring sessions.

“Terence has everything. He is perhaps the highest IQ boxer in the world. He can turn right, left, he has powerful, strong and physically gifted,” Madrimov said of Crawford. “He’s a wonderful athlete and has all the tools.”

Crawford’s five ingredients missing

1. Youth: He is 38 on September 28; There is no fountain of youth available or a handy Times machine that can bring back a youthful version of itself
2. Experience: His resume is barren of quality names.
3. Power: Which may he have had at 147 will be gone on 168.
4. Real size: Drawing weight is not the same as being a natural super -middle weight.
5. Activity: Crawford has been sitting for a year since his last fight in 2024. He was chosen to lose himself in Reverie, dream, and enjoy his ‘victory’ over Israil Madrimov, rather than going to work again.

Crawford’s important weight error

“Canelo is Canelo. Everyone knows him and what his strong sides are. He can box 12 rounds,” Madrimov said. “I believe he can adapt to whatever. The question is: How is the physicality going to be? How is he going to respond? I would never gain weight for Canelo. I will stick to what Crawford is. I believe Terence has all the tools.

“If Terence is going to be itself and weigh under the limit of 168 and are just himself, I see it as a 50-50 battle,” Madrimov said.

It’s too late for Crawford to be ‘himself’ for this battle. He is until the 180s, perhaps low 190s, and physically looks nothing like the fighter he was in his last match against Madrimov in 2024. If it is, that’s what Snac Terence has turned into, it’s a mistake on its part. He must have listened to Madrimov and remained light so he could use his speed.
