Tender Crawford gets his chance to silence critics against Canelo Alvarez: It is related to “closing everyone”

During the accumulation of supernatural fighting on Saturday in Las Vegas, between the 168 -pound Candles Alvarez and Tirins Croford, who was not defeated, many novels surrounded the size.

Crawford (41-0, 31 KOS), was removed just two years after the dismantling of Errol Spence JR. The first a sporting combat event inside the Alegant Stadium.

How can Croford, 38, later deal with this month, with the size of Alvarez’s strength, not to mention the increased physical increase that comes with the face of the 35 -year -old Mexican icon, which previously won a global title at 175 pounds, lost only to greats in the seed at all (Floyd Mayoith, Dmitry Bever) and has one of the continuing religions in Tickets?

Do not make mistakes in that, does Cruvord be bothering the discomfort at the end of this week and making the history of boxing the first in the era of the four belt to become an undisputed champion in three different sections of weight, and did this by defeating his teammate in the strong pound, which is 11-0 is super medium dates and the best post-dye/Manio Bakakuo, and it will be considered a wonderful history.

In fact, it will not be unusual to see a victory in Cruford compared to the victory of Roy Jones Junior by moving from heavyweight to win heavyweight title in 2003, where Schujer Ray Leonard came out of retirement to defeat Marvin Hager in his appearance in the medium weight of 1987 or Bacoyao in his weight to the world’s high works in eight sections. It is a type of victory that would allow Croford to double its legacy and may get a study between the best P4P in history.

But if the discomfort occurs, Croford Brian coach Pomak Macintire believes that he will not have anything to do with size, or the natural difference between them, at all.

“I am not tired of people talking about weight because the most skeptical, the greater the victory,” Macintire said in the great expatriates on Tuesday. “I think the difference is intelligence. If you look at Canelo, he was fighting in a certain way for certain years. But if you look at Bud, it changes his style of fighting. I think intelligence will be the factor.”

On the roof, Crovord is definitely more skilled and varied than Alvarez, even in his advanced age. “Bud” can switch positions as desired, has incredible accuracy, global, and medium average as a match that can be compared historically with Leonard. If Crowford is not this dynamic, a battle of this size for a boxer has only one professional battle of up to 154 pounds (when he left the unnoticed Madrid Israel last summer), it will not be possible in medium weight.

However, the reason Kraovord is still just a slight bet, although the advantages of the return such as size, age, power and the last activity of his opponent deepened more than the fact that Alvarez considers that he has slow feet for the elite fighter, or the fact that many of the belief that Alvarez is not hungry in recent years (which includes David’s cover or not wandering in four years).

A large part of the reason is that the supposed size of Elvares may be exaggerated.

Kraovord is not limited to the longest inch of Alvarez, but will get the feature of accessing nearly four inches. And all the confrontation between them during a three -cities press tour to announce the battle showed that Cruford was equal in size, including Las Vegas stopping in July when Cruford entered and pushed Alvarez.

The truth is that Crowford, a former high school wrestler in his homeland, Omaha, Nebraska, has an abnormal physical force to a man as it seems when he retracts to 147 pounds. Not to mention that the pictures without a shirt that Cruford shared last week on social media, she made it clear that he added an amazing amount of muscles to his frame while he was still incredibly inclined.

According to Mcintyre, his fighter will be a boxer in his normal weight that runs on Saturday, so the threat of whether the additional power will negatively affect Croford negatively on the willingness of entertainment.

“[Crawford] Stronger. Look at him [and tell me] Who is the largest [of the two fighters]”I will not say that he added the muscles, I will just say that it has become stronger,” Macintire said.

When it comes to adding the aforementioned muscles, Crawford appears to have done it in a very calculated way that can prove to be the difference in the battle.

Croford has not said to 147 pounds since Spence was defeated in 2023. Although he had fought only once since then, compared to four times for Alvarez fixed, Carofford’s leave time was allowed first to test himself at 154 pounds of retirement if he could not secure the match).

Jeremel Charlo, on the other hand, took the same move up to the challenge of Alvarez in a different way and the results were catastrophic. Charlo, then a 154 -pound champion, raised two parts to confront Alvarez in 2023, but he was unprecedented or other than his body.

Charlo was not limited to early by alvarez, but he lost almost every round and was not in the fight against his most physically dominant opponent.

Crowford, who was historically a man of a few words, heard all theories about why he was unable to defeat Alvarerz but he did not leave any of this affecting his confidence or motive.

“I think people are underestimating everything about me, but this does not matter,” Krufford said on the media on Wednesday. “The power will definitely come [the move up in weight]. These are not any concerns ever. “

When asked if Crowford had the ability to obtain respect for Alvarez iron, McCayter did not hesitate.

“[Alvarez] He will respect something [and] If we harm Panilo, then we are [are] Going to kill. Believe me, “Macintier said.” This will be the landslide. People feel crazy from me because they believe that I do not respect Canilo, but I am not. I did not see him rising to the competition level [in a long time]. This level of competition that will be seen on Saturday is the highest level he can imagine. “

Alvarez has not fighted a opponent that the general public believed that he could hit him since 2022 when he was beaten properly by Bever in a battle that was only close to the final performance cards. If this has been Alvarez five years ago, then the result will not be in doubt, but Alvarez has much more miles than Croford even though he carries a three -year -old feature in view of Alvarez, who is an old warrior in 67 battle, has turned into a professional about 20 years ago in adolescence.

It is interesting that the majority of the current and retired fighters who provided general predictions chose Cruford. Even those who choose Alvarez have usually closed their choice by hedging with the same line from: “If anyone can do this, it is likely to be Cruvord.”

Fortunately for “Bud”, who plays perfectly in his mentality. Despite his amazing career, it took it until Spence was fighting for his right flowers to really from those who criticized the absence of great names in his CV.

Perhaps the focus on the size of Alvarez in this battle, instead, should not be on the size of the slide that remains on the hungry Kraovord shoulder. This is, after all, the same person who had a broker who gave his skull after an accident in 2008 when he was a teenager after the dice, which ended with Croford leading himself to the hospital in a moment, he announced long ago that he not only changed life, but was the turning point in which the whole was dedicated to the boxing craft.

When he was asked what he raised more about Alvarez and Cryford was direct.

“Everyone closed,” said Kroford. “Everyone has the right to obtain their opinion. What one thinks about me does not move me or anything. They cannot fight for him and they cannot fight for me. It does not matter their opinion on my eyes or my feeling because I had doubt in my entire career in boxing.

“I was told that I will never be where I am in. I was told that I need to get another job because I will not be a world champion at all. Many of the things I was told all my life and I like,” well, just see me do that. “With my self -faith, I do not care what someone else says because I am comfortable in my skin.”
