The boxer maintains that a second clash would have a different development thanks to the lessons learned in the ring.
The flaws identified in the ring
During an interview with the program Inside The Ring, the boxer explained the factors that affected his performance. The athlete pointed out that his initial strategy of matching the American's speed turned out to be counterproductive for his boxing scheme.
"I see a lot of mistakes that I made. I tried to be faster because of his style and all that, but I just need to do my job and that's it," Canelo Álvarez explained to the specialized media when evaluating his work plan.
The fighter's body did not react in the required way to the demands of the duel. “Sometimes your body doesn't respond the way you want, but I know what my mistakes were and I can adapt everything to make it perfect next time,” Canelo Álvarez added.
Frustration at the rival's withdrawal
The possibility of executing these tactical changes depends on the will of Crawford, who announced his retirement from the team. Various promoters maintain interest in organizing the rematch, but the American maintains his position of professional inactivity.
This scenario creates a barrier for Canelo Álvarez, as he adds his third defeat without the option of direct revenge. Previously, the boxer experienced the same situation after falling to Floyd Mayweather Jr. and the Russian Dmitry Bivol.
Focus on the sports calendar
Despite the interest in completing this second fight, the athlete understands that the decision is beyond his control. “Yes, it is frustrating, but as I always say, when you can't control the situation you can't do anything,” Canelo Álvarez acknowledged in his talk with the aforementioned source.
The man from Guadalajara's plan is to continue with his sporting agenda while waiting for a possible return from his opponent. "If the rematch comes, I'm going to do my job. I'm going to continue with my fights and my career. If the fight happens again, it will be different," the boxer concluded.
