Canelo vs Crawford: Will “Bad” fight on the night of battle or against the “Skull-style”?

Canelo Alvarez says he hopes Terrence Crawford will come to fight and not run on September 13th in a superfight in Las Vegas. He wants to ensure Crawford (41-0, 31 Kos) is involved and not run around the ring like his last opponent, former IBF super middleweight champion William Skull.

Canelo hopes Crawford will be involved

Crawford, 37, received a message yesterday from Turki Aralschuff when he told him he wanted “blood” and “devastating face” for his main event fight on Netflix at Allegant Stadium.

But what bothers me was Crawford’s immediate response to that message. So he said, “I’m not going to force anyone else to do anything or teach me to fight.” He is openly protesting Torki in that comment. Terence would have clearly not said that the contract had not yet been signed for the fight.

“Skull-style” style is about Canelo

For Canelo, we recommend planning Crawford’s skull style.

Even if Crawford had planned to make it interesting, if he felt the power of Alvarez’s punch, he would ride the bike like he did against Victor Postol, making it difficult for him to land. He doesn’t have a steel jaw like Gennadiy Golovkin. Golovkin took a big power shot of Canelo in the 12th round.

Alvarez fears the Crawford movement

“Isn’t it because we’re hoping for a great fight, a battle of the century?” Canelo Alvarez told the media on September 13 when asked whether Terrence Crawford would make it a “Tom and Jerry” type of fight. “I’m just thinking about it. I feel the same way. I’m going to win the battle,” Canelo Alvarez said. media About the Battle of Terrence Crawford.

Canelo doesn’t want former For Division world champion Crawford to move around, and it won’t be a cat-mouth type fight like the final fight with William Skull. Turki Alalshikh hypes the Battle of Canelo-Crawford as “one of the best fights of the past decade.”

With interest in this fight, it would be a disappointment if Alvarez was forced to chase 37-year-old Crawford around the ring in the 12th round. If you’ve followed a Nebraska career for the past 17 years, you’ve found he’s used a lot of moves in many fights.

Crawford’s evasive battle history

Crawford generally uses more movement against fighters with aggressive skills. The Battle of Canelo is what he can choose to use movements to avoid the power of the Mexican star, at least in the early rounds of his strongest.

“I agree. People want to see a good fight,” continued Canelo about Turki, not wanting to see a fight between unengaged tom and jerry-types. “People want to see a good fight, and I agree with Torki Aralsif because people come and pay to see a good fight. Then the fighters run all night and don’t play a good fight.”

Canelo’s last opponent, Cuban William Skull, would have predicted that he would use the move, as he had already shown it in his past battles. What made that battle even more difficult was the skull’s strength, hand speed and quick combination.

Skull revealed that he was strong and that the speed of his hand was excellent for the ultra-middleweight. His power and speed look better than Crawford’s. That’s why Canelo was reluctant to fight Skull aggressively. Because when he caught him he was hit with big shots in exchange. Speed ​​troubled Canelo and power. Crawford doesn’t punch like that and does not have the speed of his hand.

Canelo’s best opponents list

“He’s certainly going to be one of my best opponents. Top 8, 7, 6, I don’t know,” said Alvarez about whether Crawford is one of his best opponents. He is a great fighter. Let’s take a look on September 13th. When Amir Khan said he predicted Crawford would beat him, Canelo said.

I rank Crawford under these past Canelo enemies

1. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
2. Dmitry Bivol
3. Gennadiy Golovkin
4. Erislandirara
5. Miguel Cott
6. Jermel Charlo
7. Callum Smith

When Canelo fought the way Crawford faced Isler Madrimov in his 154 debut, he was defeated by all those fighters.

It remains to be seen whether Crawford will become one of Canelo’s top eight “best opponents.” Crawford is stronger and smaller in size than Charlo and Skull, so this fight could prove to be better than his clash with Jermel Charlo. The weight he puts doesn’t make him super middleweight.
