The departure of 154 pounds of Terence Crawford: the president of the OMB confirms the unemployed intermediate belt, Canelo Pursuit

The president of the OMB, Gustavo Olivieri, Esq. Revealed that Terence Crawford “will not return to 154” and that he will yearn for his interim belt with that organization.

It is a movement that Crawford expected (41-0, 31 kos) because he is earning a lot of money, challenging Canelo Alvarez for his titles in Super Middleweight on September 13.

After that payment day, Crawford, 38, would take a massive salary cut to return to 154 to fight the current champion, Sebastian Fundora, in a match that would imply a lot of risk for him due to his lack of size and advanced age.

Returning to 154 to fight the youngest fighters with size and skill would be difficult for Crawford, who only fights once a year. By the time I returned after your victory return or an overwhelming defeat of Álvarez’s fight, he will be 39 years old, and he can’t wait for him to fight with the 6’5 1/2 ″ song.

It is not clear what Crawford will do after his fight with Canelo. Obviously, he has defeat Canelo and obtain a lucrative rematch. That would be the ideal situation for the native of Nebraska Crawford. However, if you lose to Canelo, it will be interesting to see if you choose to stay in 168, return to 154 or retire.

You can still earn a lot of money fighting at the events of the Riad season if you want to use it for fights. They seem to be fond of Crawford. Therefore, it should still be useful if it is carefully combined. You could not match Crawford against any of the largest fighters such as David Benavász or David Morrell because they would cut it due to their size, power and youth, but it would be good against someone like Edgar Berlanga.

Olivieri recommends that the contender #1 wbo 154 lb Xander Zayas (21-0, 13 ko) be mandatory for champion Sebastian Fundora. If that happens, the winner of Saturday’s fight between WBC/Wbo Fundora (21-1-1, 13 kos) and Chordale Booker will have 120 days to defend against the zayas superior to the best.

Top Rank has protected Xander Zayas, 22, in the same way they protected Berlanga when he was with them. Therefore, it is difficult to know if it is good or not. His opposition has been so horrible that there is no way of knowing if it is a bass driver like Berlanga or has real talent.

Medium weight division (154 pounds)

1. We have confirmed that Terence Crawford will not return at 154 pounds, division and will resign from its interim title of the OMB after the official announcement of Canelo/Crawford. Therefore, its mandatory challenger status is debatable. /
