Terence Crawford said on X tonight that he’s going to be “waiting on Canelo” for his or her fight on September thirteenth and can “shock the world.” against unified three-belt super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez.
The Waiting Game
Moderately than taking a tune-up to remain sharp, Terence says he’s just going to attend on Canelo. That appears like he’s afraid of losing or looking bad. Sitting out of the ring until September thirteenth just cements fans’ belief about Crawford coming for the large payday against Canelo.
What Crawford should do is move as much as 168 and fight considered one of these contenders to acclimatize himself to the burden class:
- David Morrell
- Osleys Iglesias
- Diego Pacheco
If Crawford can beat those guys, he’ll be able to fight Canelo on September thirteenth. Losing to them would show what many fans already imagine about him. He’s too small to fight at 168.
Crawford is the one considered one of the 4 opponents Turki Al-Sheikh revealed on social media in announcing the brand new four-fight deal between Canelo Alvarez and Riyadh Season. There’s no favorable response from fans to Crawford, 37, being confirmed as Alvarez’s opponent for September thirteenth.
People wanted a greater option than Crawford for Canelo’s fight in September because he’s too small, weak, and old. He has no experience at 154, and he didn’t look impressive at that weight in his debut last August.
“I’m waiting on Canelo in September and going to shock the world in Riyadh Season!” said Terence Crawford on X, talking about his scheduled fight on September thirteenth against Canelo Alvarez in Las Vegas.
It’s hard for fans to respect Crawford and his attitude of sitting and waiting. That’s not how fighters are presupposed to act. They’re presupposed to show their fearless soldiers on the frontlines, fearless, suffering, and going through pure hell. Crawford is doing the alternative. He’s acting like someone off the front lines, back on the battalion, playing sickbay commando.
I’ll never know what Turki sees in Crawford. There are such a lot of more deserving go-getters from 154 to 175 that Turki missed in favor of Crawford. If he were watching Crawford’s profession from the start as I actually have, he wouldn’t have been picked out for Canelo to fight.
