Terence Crawford simply schooled Errol Spence, changing into the four-belt welterweight champion. Many followers need to focus on Crawford dealing with Canelo Alvarez at tremendous middleweight for his undisputed championship.
Crawford’s coach, Brian ‘BoMac’ McIntyre, reiterates that it’s untimely to debate a combat with the Mexican celebrity Canelo now, with a tough conflict forward of Terence at 154 in opposition to Israil Madrimov, the WBA junior middleweight champion on August third.
Madrimov’s Kryptonite
Madrimov is the most important puncher 36-year-old Crawford could have confronted, and he’s preventing late in his profession with 16 years within the sport. It’s not the best time for Crawford to combat a robust man like Madrimov. It’s not the best time for an getting old fighter nearing 40 to be taking up a fighter with the sort of energy that Madrimov possesses.
The toughest punchers on Crawrford’s resume:
– Errol Spence
– Kell Brook
– David Avaneysan
– Egidijus Kavaliauskas
– Jeff Horn
– Yuriorkis Gamboa
– John Molina
– Ray Beltran
Canelo’s Cash is Tempting
Talking with Combat Hub TV, BoMac states that Crawford is taking it “One combat at a time. The combat forward of Bud is the one he’s concentrating on. His focus is on Madrimov as a result of this combat is harmful.”
Whereas BoMac insists Canelo isn’t somebody that Crawford is considering proper now, it’s arduous to not imagine he’s occupied with him night time and day, imagining the cash he’ll make for that combat, win or lose.
If Crawford can simply get that combat, it’s all gravy to any extent further. He’ll make a mountain of cash from the Canelo combat. Crawford isn’t going to look previous Madrimov (10-0-1, 7 KOs) as a result of he’s an expert.
If Crawford wins that combat, he’ll determine the place to go subsequent. So much must do with what His Excellency needs. He’s received the cash to lure Canelo to throw a bone to Crawford to provide him an unearned title shot at 168, regardless of his having no intention of going up there and incomes the title shot by beating David Benavidez or David Morrell.
Crawford wouldn’t do nicely in opposition to these guys, so His Excellency isn’t going to place him in a spot the place he has to cross the take a look at to get to Alvarez. Simply beating Madrimov will probably be sufficient, however he won’t do this.
Why Crawford may lose to Madrimov:
- Inactivity: 13 months
- Age: Crawford turns 37 in September
- New Weight class: Terence has by no means fought at 154
- Going through the most important puncher of his profession
- Overconfidence
