Turki Alashikh announced this evening the “Big Fight” by Canelo Alvarez against Terence Crawford “Big Fight” for September 12 at the Las Vegas stadium. He calls him “Fight of the century “,” Which does not reflect reality. It’s no longer like “Fight of the Month” for September.
Crawford entered the ring after the 12 -tone victory of Canelo over the unanimous victory on the champion of IBF Super Middleweight William Scull. The victory made Canelo (63-2-2, 39 KB) an undisputed double champion. He needed this title as a sales argument for Crawford’s fight because he is a former undisputed champion with two division, which did it at 140 and 147.
Surprisingly, Bud Crawford looked larger than Canelo tonight. During the confrontation, one could see that he was thicker and heavier than Alvarez, who had looked in the 180s for his fight against Scull. Crawford eats well in the nine months he came out of the ring since his razor victory against Israil Madrimov in his beginnings at 154 on August 3 of last year.
“Now we want to fight the century. The fight in September between the two great fighters of our generation, Canelo Alvarez and Crawford,” said Turki Alashikh, inside the ring After Alvarez’s victory over the IBF Super Middleweight William Scull champion. “It will be in the Las Vegas stadium on September 12.
Many relaxed boxing fans are not crawford fans. It is popular with a segment of hardcore boxing fans who like to look at fighters who practice the “success” style. He does not fight aggressively enough to be popular with mainstream fans.
Turki did not mention the PPV price for the “big fight” between Canelo and Crawford. There will be many unhappy boxing fans if the cost is $ 100As with the Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight against Manny Pacquiao. Since the Canelo-Scull fight tonight was $ 60 on Dazn PPV, you should think that the Canelo-Crawford event will be higher.
It is a good fight, but not close to the level that Turki qualifies him. Crawford is not the fight that fans want to see. They want Canelo to fight David Benavidez, not the aging crawford.
