Crawford A ‘Outbox’ Canelo? Rahman states that Álvarez’s recent opponents have masked their vulnerabilities

The ex two times heavyweight champion, Hasim Rahman, predicts that Terence Crawford “will surpass” the super unified medium -sized champion Canelo Alvarez in September.

Rahman was not impressed with how Canelo (62-2-2, 39 kos) fought against Jermell Charlo in September 2023, and says that Crawford will use Jermell’s performance as a plan against the Mexican star. He says Álvarez has been spoiled lately with his careful pairing.

Hasim points out that Álvarez has been taking “Soft touchesLately, and that will chase him again when he gets into the ring with Crawford (41-0, 31 Kos. Álvarez has been fighting the weak opposition constantly since 2021.

The only good opponent he has fought in the last four years was Dmitry Bivol, and that was a classic The selection of cherries went wrong. Bivol had been terrible in his two previous fights before Canelo picked him up when he moved to 175.

Retirement tour?

Fans agree with Rahman. Canelo has apparently been on a retirement tour, fighting against combatants with inflated curriculum, John Ryder, Jaime Munguia and Edgar Berlanga. Álvarez has dodged the sharks, David Benavász, David Morrell, Diego Pacheco and Christian Mbilli.

“In the fight (Jermell) Charlo, I wasn’t really impressed with Canelo. Although he won it, I really didn’t think I did what I thought I was able to do. I feel that gave Terence a plan on how to fight him, ”said Hasim Rahmon to CightHipoExplaining why he feels that Terence Crawford will defeat Canelo Álvarez when they fight on September 13.

It seemed that Canelo vanished at the beginning of the fight against Jermell Charlo in 2023, and did not set foot in the accelerator to cut the ring to write down a strike. You could see that Canelo was exhausted after three or four rounds, and it was a luck that Jermell did not show interest in taking the fight. It seemed that he had just appeared for the day of payment.

“I have seen Canelo lose fights. They simply did not take it away, but I feel that Terence will overcome it. I don’t think Terence knocked out. Terence will overcome it. Terence is intelligent in the ring. Terence knows how to maneuver the ring, ”said Rahman.

The fighter that Hasim failed to name, and who has seen Canelo losing, is likely against Erislandy Lara and Gennadiy Golovkin (fight #1 in 2017). Austin Trout was another that fans thought Canelo should have lost.

Mimado champion

“I think the generality of the ring belongs to Terence. Believe Canelo pampered a little. I think he has been fighting with softer touches lately. I think that will be for your bad service in this fight. I think Terence is going to win the fight, ”said Rahman.

Hasim is correct. Canelo has been fighting soft touches in recent years after being defeated by Dmitry Bivol in 2022. He respected to take risky fights after that loss, and has celebrated with these combatants: Gennadiy Golovkin (40 years), John Ryder, Jermell Charlo, Jaime Munguia and Edgar Berlanga.
