Dodging questions

It seemed that Turki wanted Canelo to start early in the marketing “The Great Fight”, as he calls it, against Crawford, and was not going to do it. The true great fight is Canelo vs. David Benvidity, not an elderly crawford and not deserving, who looked terrible in his debut in 154. You cannot blame Canelo for not wanting to be tied like a puppetsaying the words that Turki wanted me to do it.

That is the confrontation that Turki really wants for some reason, although Terence has never fought in 168, he would be uploading two divisions, and cutting online ahead of numerous contestants who have been working hard for their shot.

If Turki is a boxing traditionalist from the old school, he should have insisted that Crawford moves to 168 and gained the opportunity for the title against Canelo as the fighters in the past. What he is doing is not the old school.

Crawford should have to go to the super medium weight and Execute this little glove To demonstrate your value for a chance for the title:

– David Benavidity
– Osleys Iglesias
– David Morrell
– Diego Pacheco
– Christian Milli

If Crawford expires the five fighters, he will have earned his chance for the title against Canelo. That is the old school method. Apart from that, Crawford does not qualify the opportunity to meet the king of division.

It is a circus fight. That is all you can call it. An old man with an inflated curriculum takes a free year to avoid losing and climbs two kinds of weight to challenge Canelo for a single.

Canelo deviates

Álvarez refused to say during the press conference today for his party against Scull (23-0, 9 kos) on May 3 in Riyadh

Todd Grisham: “Canelo, everyone knows a possible confrontation with Terence Crawford waits in September. He decided not to fight until then, but you said you are going to fight in May. Why run the risk?

Canelo Alvarez: “I like being active. We do not have a fight in September. We have this fight, and then we will see the September fight. But I am 100% concentrated in William Scull. “

Turki Alalshikh: “Hello everyone. You know, I respect the Boxing School of Cuba, but now I am asking as a fan. My question is for Canelo. You are missing an article. May 3, will it complete it again on September 12 in Las Vegas in The great fight (Crawford)? Are you completing the items (that is, collecting the IBF belt of 168 pounds that is missing to become a super indisputable medium -sized champion)?

Canelo: “Hey, man. I will look good (Canel chooses not to answer Turki’s main question to start an early promotion for Crawford celebrities). “

Turki: “An element of you is missing. That belt (Turki points to his indisputable title of Ring magazine) “.

Canelo: “The belt. I understood you. Don’t worry.”

Here is an angle of the face. You can see here that they bring the WBC belt and Turki shakes the head does not! pic.twitter.com/b8iW3SIFRS
