Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford in talks to fight for Alvarez’s three super middleweight titles on Mexico’s Independence Day in September title, and no rehydration clause.

If the Canelo-Crawford fight goes ahead, it could be a no-brainer if Canelo (62 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses, 39 KOs) takes on IBF champion William Carr on May 5th weekend in May. Disputable. Canelo will be the favorite to regain the IBF title against Skarr.

Crawford has size

Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) is around 170, so it shouldn’t be a big deal for him to move up to 168 to challenge Canelo. The main problem for Crawford is trying to win without starting a fight with Canelo. If Terrence just boxed Canelo according to Mayweather’s blueprint, as his trainer Brian “BoMac” McIntyre said he would, then that wouldn’t work for a decision.

Canelo hits much harder than Crawford, and even if he takes more punches, the referee will focus on the bigger shots. This is how Canelo defeated Erislandy Lara, who was bigger and stronger than Crawford but didn’t have enough punch with him to win a decision .

We don’t know Crawford’s real reason for wanting to fight Canelo. He said it was about “legacy,” but he also mentioned money and not wanting to move up to 168 just to make a weight adjustment. That’s Crawford’s fear. It just goes to show that this is all about the money for him. I feel like this is just an asset for him because if he really believed it, he would move up to super middleweight to show that he could compete at this level by beating one or two of the top dogs.

Since he didn’t do that, it’s a clear sign that Crawford is just trying to get his retirement payday against Canelo. It doesn’t matter. You blame the hustle. If Turki is willing to give Crawford money, that’s his responsibility, but many fans feel stupid afterward and cheated for wasting their money on a Jermall Charlo 2.0 type mismatch . Crawford isn’t even as big or strong as Jermell. He’s definitely not as young as Jermell was when he fought Canelo, Terrence will 38 BWhen he fought Canelo in September.

So, it doesn’t matter if you lose. Crawford got an unearned gain in his loss to Canelo that will be gravy for the rest of his life. He could spend the rest of his life eating caviar and drinking from glasses with his family. little finger in the airHe speaks with a fake British accent that belongs to the upper echelon of America’s super-rich society.

Keyshawn’s Crawford Expedition

‘How little they take Terrence seriously,’ Keyshawn Davis says mill city boxing About his disagreement with fans about his gymnastics partner and close friend Terrence Crawford not getting a chance against Canelo Alvarez in September.

“How big Canelo is compared to Terrence, they would say because of his size, he doesn’t stand a chance.” When asked if Crawford could knock out Canelo or if he would try to box to win the decision , Keyshawn said.

“Anyone could get knocked out there. I wouldn’t think he’s going to KO Canelo, but boxing him would definitely give him the win. Me, put me on that card as the co-head. I don’t care, put me Put it on that card. I’m going to be a world champion (Keyshawn hopes),” Davis said.

Keyshawn shouldn’t let his friendship with Crawford blind him to the true nature of this fight. He didn’t beat Canelo. After an early taste of his power, he’ll be busy running away from him. On August 3 last year, Crawford nearly lost his first match against Israel Madrimov at 154. His strength had not continued since 147, and by the end of the battle his face had been beaten black and blue. Madrimov screwed him over, and he was lucky to get the decision because the champion landed bigger, cleaner, more effective punches.

begging for a spot

“Yo, Turk (Sheik), put me on the card,” Keyshawn said, imploring Turki to make him the co-main in Canelo’s fight with Crawford. “You know who I want to fight. I would love to fight Isaac Cruz. I don’t know why. I just feel like I, he’s going to be good. I just feel like it’s going to be an action-packed fight. I Would love to fight “Rayo” (Jose Valenzuela) too. I feel like those two are always coming to fight.”

It was too late for Keyshawn to fight Isaac Cruz as he was already fighting Ryan Garcia next. He wasn’t going to fight Keyshawn and get thrown to the ground.

“I’d love to fight these two guys, they’re both 140 years old. We don’t have to fight for the belt,” Keyshawn said. “We can fight. Fight, those two guys have losses. So, it’s not like they’re hiding or running away to not lose the OS. I’m sure there’s no running away from losing the O (note: Keyshawn refuses to fight with Andy Cruz) Andy Cruz) fight, Andy Cruz beat him four times) I just want to fight.

“Win, lose or draw, I’m making millions of dollars. I don’t care. I’d definitely love to fight those two guys. I’d love to fight those guys. Just an action-packed fight. Neither of us. Giving up and trying to control the center of the ring, Keyshawn said, “We both want to do that” when asked how a fight between him and the 5-foot-4 Isaac Cruz would go. Stand up for yourself. “

“I’m going to keep throwing them. I’m not saying I’m going to fight this guy in the middle of the ring, man. You saw me on the back foot the whole fight with Miguel Maduno (using a lot of wrestling, pick-ups Maduno, using lots of pushing and bunny punches) to fight. In some rounds, I’m moving forward, in some rounds (mostly), I’m going backwards. I would say (recently defeated) Isaac Cruz is going to be an action-packed fight, I think. It’s going to be great for the sport of boxing,” Davis said.

Keyshawn needs to put a sock inside. Isaac Cruz has bigger things on his plate, negotiating a deal with superstar Ryan Garcia in Times Square in Manhattan in May for Turki Al Sheikh Al-Sheikh’s calling card for a huge game. Cruz won’t waste time on Keyshawn Davis, fighting for loose change, and will likely wrestle all night long in an ugly, foul-filled fight.

If Keyhorn wants a fight, he needs to find some courage and face his four-time conqueror Andy Cruz to try and at least avenge his loss to the talented Cuban. I don’t think Keyshawn will, but he should prove he’s not an imposter.

No contract has been signed yet, but if everything is finalized, boxing’s top stars Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford are set to meet over Mexico’s Independence Day weekend in September. As Crawford has said all along, the fight will be at 168 pounds and there will be no rehydration clause. pic.twitter.com/Gw0DoA21uH
