Terence Crawford showed signs of a classic example of a Bitter winnerChoose to minimize and discredit Canelo Alvarez after defeating him with a unanimous 12-round decision last Saturday night at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Has a welterweight hit harder?
When Crawford was asked after the fight whether Canelo (63-3-3-2, 39 COs) the “Hardest Hitter” He stood up during his 17-year professional career, he said no. He says Welterweight Egidijus
Kavaliauskas hit him harder than Canelo.
What Crawford could not say is that he stood and fought Cavaliaus box. He didn’t do it with Canelo. He was running uninterrupted throughout the fight. Crawford (42-0, 31 CO’s) constantly moved most of each round on the outside and perfectly mimics the style of Alvarez’s last opponent, William Scull. Fans find it boring to look at, and there were many boo of them in the audience.
Crawford’s resentment against Canelo
It was interesting to see how Crawford was still apparently Hold a grudge Against Canelo, who made him hesitant to take the culmination in victory. Hence she decides to minimize Canelo after the fight. Crawford’s decision to take an oral shot at the power of Canelo indicates that he is still feeling dissatisfied with his actions, because he believes he still feels that he should justify himself, showing that he is uncertain about his victory.
The low bar for entertainment
It is understandable when he watches Crawford achieved his victory. He ran rather than staying in the trenches to fight Canelo in the way fans of the exciting to see how Christian Mbilli is fighting against Lester Martinez on the bottom map. Crawford’s actions were not close to measuring one of the warriors. That fight was The golden standard For excitement on last night’s map. In contrast, Crawford’s struggle was the low rod For entertainment.
A 2-to-10-scale performance
As for drama, Canelo-Crawford was a two on a ten scale. It was very, very boring to look at, and the reason was Terence. He chose to ignore Turki Alalshikh’s mandate of no Tom and Jerry fights, and instead ran 12 rounds around the ring. It was easy The most dullest battle on the mapAnd believe me, there was a lot of bad on this bottom map of the Barebones.
I wouldn’t blame Turki Alalshikh a little if he preferred not to set up Crawford money to fight Canelo in a rematch or any of the other top fighters like David Banavidez or whoever he has in mind. Fans have seen Crawford prefer to fight, and it is not entertaining to look at, without value. It’s 2025.
Fans now want entertainment, and I have seen nothing from Crawford’s methods of victory showing that he is complying with the standard. His style was more suitable for the mayweather-era’s pre-internet days, when fans had limited entertainment options.
“I’m hit harder. But ‘average machine’ (Egidijus Cavaliauskas) hit me harder than Canelo, ‘says Terence Crawford during the Press conference after battle When asked if Canelo Alvarez was the hardest puncher he faced during his career.
Some fans on social media consider it a low class of Crawford, but it plays in him that holds a resentment and shows signs of uncertainty.
