Shakur Stevenson predicts Terence Crawford will “box the s*** out of Canelo and make it look easy” in the event that they combat this September on the Mexican Independence Day vacation weekend.
The light-weight champion Stevenson feels that Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) is on one other stage regardless of being a lot smaller and by no means having fought at tremendous middleweight to show that he’s.
We actually can’t take a look at Crawford’s finest profession wins, a razor-close resolution towards Israil Madrimov, and a knockout of the automobile crash, the weight-drained, injury-plagued, and inactive shell of Errol Spence to say he’s proven that he’s on one other stage to Canelo. These two fights confirmed that Crawford wasn’t adequate to beat the highest killers at 154, 160, or 168.
Crawford’s Problem
If Turki Al-Sheikh wished to point out Crawford some robust love, he’d inform him that he should present that he’s able to beating these three to earn the Canelo Alvarez combat:
David Benavidez
Artur Betterbiev vs. Dmittry Bivol 2 winner
David Morrell
That will not solely permit Crawford to earn the golden parachute retirement cash, which might give him a delicate touchdown into retirement, however it could additionally make the Canelo-Crawford combat resemble a sport quite than a star occasion, just like skilled wrestling.
If boxing is ever to be thought of an precise sport just like the NBA, NFL, and NHL worldwide, fighters should endure testing fights to show themselves and earn championship matches.
“Canelo outboxed the s**** out of him,” predicts Shakur in regards to the Terence Crawford vs. Canelo Alvarez combat in September. “Yeah, for sure,” stated Shakur Stevenson to iFL TV when requested if Crawford ‘makes it look easy’ beating Canelo. “Terence is crazy. That dude is psycho,” Shakur stated about Bud not asking for a rehydration clause from the Mexican famous person.
“Canelo is one of the biggest names in the sport of boxing. You can’t ask for a rehydration clause against someone like that,” stated Stevenson.
Pot of Gold on the Finish
I don’t thoughts Crawford getting a combat towards Canelo, so long as he earns it by operating by means of David Benavidez, the Beterbiev-Bivol 2 winner, and Morrell. Have a look at it this manner. Benavidez and Morrell have been ready quite a bit longer than Bud for a combat towards Canelo and had been ignored as in the event that they didn’t exist on this planet.
Each of them deserve a combat towards Canelo greater than Crawford, who simply barely acquired by means of his final combat by the pores and skin of his tooth in his debut at 154 towards Madrimov.
The one purpose I threw in Beterbiev and Bivol into the combo is as a result of I feel Turki Al-Sheikh would possibly like the concept of the eye to a combat involving these guys and Crawford with the golden prize, Canelo on the finish of the rainbow, the pot of gold for the final word winner.
