Crawford training movements: glimpses Canelo’s strategy, the evasion key

Terence Crawford showed its largest physique and the movements it plans to use when it increases two divisions from 154 to 168 to challenge the medium weight champion of the WBC, WBC and WBO, Canelo Alvarez for its three (or perhaps four) titles on September 13 in Las Vegas.

Evasion tactics

It still seems a medium junior weight size, Crawford (41-0, 31 ko) showed a lot of movement in its brief training clip today. It is believed to fit Canelo larger, stronger and younger (62-2-2, 39 ko) to stay out of the line of fire.

Terence will sit for a year without fighting instead of moving to 168 to fight one of the main contestants, such as Olsleys Iglesias, Diego Pacheco or Christian Mbilli. If I did, it could be kept sharp, acclimatize with the super medium weight division and show fans that it is not just about obtaining a retirement payment day.

For boxing fans who have a head on their shoulders, that is the only conclusion you can get. Crawford says that he is moving until 168 to fight Canelo so that Legacy demonstrates his greatness, however, he is choosing not to fight first in division.

Legacy or money?

In addition, he plans to leave the division of 168 pounds later to retire or return to 154. That makes it look obvious that it is money. If Crawford is not doing it for money, why don’t you go first in 168?

It would be great for the people who order this event in PPV if Crawford saw to fight instead of running around the ring as Jermell Charlo did 154 pounds when he went up 14 pounds to challenge Canelo for his belts in 2023. Jermell was like a bigger and louder version of Crawford, but he did not want to have no part of mixing it with Alvarez after taking some great shots from the fight from the fight. Early in the fight. He spent most of the fight in motion, running, and the fans were furious.

Crawford showed no power in its movement until 154 from 147 last August against Israil Madrimov, and his face seemed poorly beaten at the end of the fight. It was almost as bad as the face of Vergil Ortiz Jr when he fought against Madrimov last Saturday.

Vergil Jr. did a better job by beating Madrimov than Crawford, but was younger and more willing to participate. Crawford fought the defensive and still received a lot of punishment.
