Vergil Ortiz jr. Predict a victory for the United Super Middleweight Champion Canelo Alvarez over Terence Crawford in their September battle. He thinks Crawford, 37, is ‘too small’.
Weight versus belonging
He feels that it doesn’t matter that Crawford is up to 180 to 180. Vergil says that the weight of the weight does not mean that he belongs to that weight. We saw that in Crawford’s last fight against WBA junior middleweight champion Israil Madrimov.
Terence followed up at 154 to fight, but did not have the same power he had at 147 in his previous battle against Errol Spence Jr. In 2023 or his match before that against David Avanesyan.
“I think he’s too small. I know he only weighed 180. To attract weight and belong to that weight are two different things, ‘says Vergil Ortiz Jr. Ring magazineTo speak that Terence Crawford is too small to defeat Canelo Alvarez on 168.
Crawford will raise the fight, but he will still be smaller than Canelo. He will have good power, but he will have to load on his shots to generate the power. It will not be like Canelo, which can hit hard.
“I would understand if he (Terence) fought someone with less caliber, but that’s Canelo we’re talking about. That guy is good. He has been boxing for a long time. I think it’s going to be a clear victory. Crawford is hit. He does. He becomes like everyone else, ‘says Vergil.
Crawford hit a lot on August 3 last year in his last fight against former WBA junior middleweight champion Israil Madrimov. He almost lost that battle. Crawford loses if Madrimov is not out in the last three rounds.
Crawford’s pride
“Sometimes he’s hit pretty clean. If you are beaten by Canelo, it’s not good. It’s really not good, whoever you are. Canelo is fast. It’s not as if he’s a slow puncher. He will catch you off guard. It’s different, ‘says Vergil Jr.
‘Crawford is a proud man. We saw him stay there (in the bag and exchange). I don’t think he should stay there if he wants to win, but sometimes the pride takes over. ‘ F *** it. “Sometimes you just have to fight. “
Crawford is going to try to follow the Mayweather and Bivol -Blouprint against Canelo. That means he gets started, hits, runs and holds like the two. Crawford knows that if he wins a decision, he will get a re -broadcast and make even more money.
So, he’s going to try to eliminate Canelo to win the win and then offer Turki for the re -broadcast a good dollar for the rematch. It will be boring, but what other options has Crawford?
