Canelo -Crawford: Vegas Battle Confirmed – Boxing News 24

Canelo Alvarez confirmed that his fight with Terrence Crawford will be in Las Vegas on September 13th. He says they are still “working” the fight being staged at Allegant Stadium.

Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 Kos) says that Las Vegas is the perfect spot for a clash with Crawford (41-0, 31 Kos) as it is perfect for Mexico’s Independence Day. Southern California or Texas was rumoured to be two other options for staging the Battle of Canelo Crawford, but it appears Vegas is happening.

The 40-piece Crawford will rise for the indisputable super middleweight championship, challenging the 35-year-old Canelo, from essentially three divisions. One of the fight’s marketing angles is that it allows Crawford to become the indisputable champion of three categories.

It’s doubtful that everyone cares about anything other than the super hardcore stat freak fans who focus on records. Normal fans just want to see a good fight between the famous fighters of high quality. Crawford will go a long way, rather than being given to him in the Silver Platter of Torki Aralsik, to go up to 168 and win the Battle of Canelo along with David Benavides.

Allegiant Stadium: Venue updates

“We’re still working on that, but we’re going to make sure everything is the best,” Canelo Alvarez said. media When asked whether Las Vegas Allegant Stadium was still under consideration for a fight against Terrence Crawford on September 13th.

Staging Canelo vs Crawford makes sense for Las Vegas. Because it uses the fan base of Mexican superstars in California, Nevada and Texas. Staging a fight at Allegiant Stadium is ideal for having a large crowd to take the fans interested in this novelty level of battle.

“It’s a battle that people should enjoy in Las Vegas.” When asked where the battle would be staged, Canelo said, “Vegas. Yes, of course, there’s no better weekend in Vegas than Mexico’s Independence Day.”

Fighting in Riyadh will hurt interest for time, and it can be difficult for an aging Canelo. He looked like hell in his final battle and struggled to defeat William Skull in Saudi Arabia on May 3rd. Alvarez, 35, saw everything about his age and then saw some. I don’t know that Canelo can blame the poor performance against him fighting in another time zone in Riyadh.

If he filmed the 27-year-old version of Canelo, who fought Scull and Gennadiy Golovkin last May in 2017, he probably would have destroyed Cuba. Unfortunately for Alvarez, he would not fight that way anymore and he was lucky that Skull didn’t show any more aggression as he was probably losing.

Canelo explains the shape of the Riad

“It was clearly a new experience. Everything fighting with the morning was very different to fighting with the night. It’s tough. Your body feels bad. You feel disgusted, but that’s part of the experience,” Canelo said.

Have you noticed any excuses from Canelo? He doesn’t want to admit that he’s old and can’t even deal with ti-sick, flawed fighters like Scull. Let’s be clear about this. Canelo had no trouble with Skull due to the time zone. He was no longer a spring chicken, so there was a problem. He’s the same as Crawford, who is about to be 38. Both are relics from a bygone era

He looked terrible in his final battle with Isreil Madrimov on August 3, but after that he said he didn’t seem to notice mentally. “Defeat him through the fight.” Crawford dismissed the power of “Little GGG” Madrimov, telling the media that “nothing has never seen before.”

It was hard to see Crawford getting serious with severely hurting his face and being marked up more than he did with the 17-fighting card. He seemed to have a tractor trailer run over him, but he had disrespected Madrimov’s power after the fight. But Turki Aralsif wanted to use Crawford in the Battle of Canelo, not as young as David Benavides. After the Battle of Madrimov, if it was me, I would never have given Crawford another idea.

“I’m happy to have achieved one of my dreams of fighting outside the US and Mexico. It’s so good. I’m so happy to work with him,” Canelo said of his thoughts on working with Tulki Aralsif.

You can imagine Canelo’s happiness working with Turki. It is rumored he will get $150 million Fight against Crawford for a fantasy-level circus. I’ll be happy too. Rather than gaining the fabric that’s fighting David Benavidez, he’ll fight 40 welterweights.
