Waiting for Canelo: Crawford’s strategy under fire


Terence Crawford told X tonight that he is going to “wait in Canelo” for their match on September 13 and will “Shock the world.“Against the consolidated champion Super Middleweight three -zone Canelo Alvarez.

The waiting game

Instead of getting a coordination to stay sharp, Terence says it’s I will just wait in Canelo. Seems to be afraid to lose or look bad. Sitting outside the ring until September 13, just pinching the fans of Crawford fans coming for the big payday against Canelo.

What Crawford has to do is move up to 168 and fight one of these candidates to acclimatize in class weight:

  1. David Morrell
  2. Osleys iglesias
  3. Diego’s Phacco

If Crawford can beat these types, he will be ready to fight Canelo on September 13th. The loss to them would show what many followers already believe in him. He is too young to fight at 168.

Crawford is the only one of the four Turki al-Sheikh opponents to be revealed to the social media to announce the new four-race deal between the Canelo Alvarez and Riyadh season. There is no favorable reaction from fans to Crawford, 37 years old, confirmed by Alvarez’s opponent for September 13.

People wanted a better choice than Crawford for Canelo’s match in September because they are very small, weak and old. He has no experience in 154 and did not seem impressive in this weight in his debut last August.

“I’m waiting for Canelo in September and it will shock the world in the Riyadh season!” said Terence Crawford XTalking about his scheduled match on September 13 against Canelo Alvarez in Las Vegas.

It is difficult for fans to respect Crawford and his attitude to sit and wait. This is not the way fighters are supposed to act. They are supposed to show their fearless soldiers on the front lines, fearless, pain and passing through pure hell. Crawford does the opposite. It acts like one of the first lines, back to the battalion, playing Sickbay Commando.

I will never know what Turki sees in Crawford. There are so many more remarkable go-getters from 154 to 175 that Turki was unaware of Crawford. If he was watching Crawford’s career from the beginning as I have, he wouldn’t have chosen to fight Canelo.
