Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford: Why Canelo was released ahead of Riyadh’s press conference and Netflix match
The kickoff press conference for Canelo Alvarez vs Terrence Crawford will be held on June 20th in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and will begin promoting the event on September 13th.
Canelo’s liberated press conference
Today’s press conference begins at 2:30pm (ET/11:30am) and will be streamed on Netflix’s YouTube channel. Yesterday, 35-year-old Canelo looked and sounded in a short video clip about today’s press conference.
Seeing the way Canelo spoke, he showed up. I’m mentally freed From the process it’s as if he was experiencing movements. It is impossible to overlook the possibility that the Mexican star is not excited to defend the indisputable super middleweight championship against 37-year-old Crawford.
Crawford: Business not sports
I understand why Canelo seems unmotivated. His battle with Crawford is considered a glorious exhibition and business-level battle due to differences in weight. You’ll have It helped me to justify If Crawford moves to 168 and beats one of the top candidates like Christian Mbilli, the battle in the public’s eyes. That was an opportunity I missed. Turki Aralsif should have created the conditions for Crawford to fight Canelo.
There’s nothing for Canelo
Fans’ perception is that Alvarez is just doing this fight for the gun Turki is paying him. Otherwise, he would never have fought Crawford (41-0, 31 Kos). That’s not a win for Canelo. If he blows Crawford, he won’t receive credit. If he loses, it ruins his legacy. All Crawford has to do is lose and he still looks like a hero.
Many believe Crawford is trying to make it a fight they don’t take pride in by moving around to avoid Canelo’s big power shot.
Crawford’s boring blueprint?
Terrence trainer Brian “Bomac” McIntyre has already said that the blueprint they follow is to use the in-and-and-style Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Dmitry Biboll used to defeat Canelo. They were both boring battles.
It’s still available 85 days before the event on September 13th. So it’s not surprising that the cards have not been announced. Given what Turki Alalshikh said recently about the event being top-heavy, it appears to be focusing on the battle for Canelo-Crawford.
Amazing Battle Undercard
Care is used for prospects and hungry fighters who need to attract attention. In other words, the type of thing that every promoter does for the event. Most of the underwear is equipped with prospects.
In this case, it would undermine the main event between Canelo and Crawford if Turki had included excellent baggage in the September 13th event. As it stands, this matchup already has a lot of indifference from fans.
If a good co-star fight is included, fans are focusing on that fight rather than the main event. Business-level battleNot sports, but t.
