Can Crawford outmart Canelo? Garcia encourages elusiveness, question power, and predicts the outcome of a “bag full of money”
Former multiweight world champion Mikey Garcia feels that Terrence Crawford needs to come lighter for his fight against super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez, which was unified on September 13th. Mikey wants to see Crawford (41-0, 31 KOS) box.
On the positive side, Mikey says Crawford will get “Money bag“In the fight against Canelo, that’s all. Even if 38-year-old Crawford is soon cancelled by Canelo, he will be home with plenty of money. Fans will be mad, but it’s money, not sports, that only those who fail are aware of what this fight really is. In sports, athletes must win opportunities to compete for money. Crawford hasn’t done that. So this is a celebrity match.
Garcia believes Crawford should not be a bulk for this fight, as he will not become a stronger fighter against Canelo. In his final battle with former WBA junior middleweight champion Isler Madrimov on August 3rd, Terence already showed that his strength is not the same at 154, just like his 147 and other weight classes.
There is no tune up
Crawford has raised two more divisions after more than a year of layoffs to fight Canelo in 168, but his strength may not be as important in this weight class. Terence shows that he doesn’t fight to adapt himself at the super middleweight, or simply stays sharp. He rather sat and waited, and his main focus of this fight was Bank Robberytaking advantage of people who are paying him a lot.
What Crawford is honorable for them. This fight is already guaranteed for Crawford. So, what should he lose by getting Tuneup first?

“Crawford is extremely talented and one of the most talented fighters I’ve seen. I saw a little more when he fought Madrimov, so I think size is important at that point,” Mikey Garcia said. fighthype About Terrence Crawford is a little too small to fight Canelo Alvarez in the super middleweight division. “It wasn’t Crawford that we were used to seeing.”
Size is important in this battle. Israil Madrimov took a quick shot of Crawford’s weak shot, illuminating him, making his head look like an old-fashioned pinball machine. Crawford has power at 154 and is definitely not 168. So he couldn’t get tuning and stopped talking about things that are incontroversial at 154. The Battle of Madrimov brought Terence down to Earth.
“Rise two extra weight classes now is a big challenge, but they both go home with bags full of money. That’s all important. They’ll face their biggest challenges, but you’ll leave with all that money and then just the experience of being there, a victory in itself.
“I say the box. When you’re fighting Canelo, don’t try to measure yourself by strength and size. I actually like to meet him (Crawford). Don’t try to be as strong as Canelo. Box, box, box. Use your experience. Turn the southpaw and go back to the right, confuse Canelo. That’s what you got for you.
“Canero has size. Fight with the benefits of combining, pressure and heavy all night. Use your strength. That’s what you have to do with things like Canelo,” Mikey said.
A boring battle?

Bomac said that by boxing, jabs, moves and holds, he will follow Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Dmitry Bivol Blueprint to prevent the shot from landing.
