Canelo Alvarez provokes Crawford in first press conference
Canelo Alvarez warned Terence Crawford that it will be difficult to take the belts from him and that Turki Alalshikh will leave his corner angry that day
Saul Canelo Alvarez provoked Terence Crawford and assured that he will not be able to beat him on September 13 when he puts his undisputed super middleweight championship on the line in Las Vegas.
In the first press conference in Saudi Arabia, Canelo Alvarez warned Crawford that it will be difficult for him to take the belts from him and that Turki Alalshikh will leave his corner angry that day.
"He's not going to beat me, don't worry, don't worry about it. That said, this fight will go down in the boxing history books, that's for sure. You can see the belts, but it will be difficult to take them. You don't look different, there's nothing different about you. I know Turki is in your corner, but he's going to be very angry that day," he said.
The American, with a very relaxed smile, responded to the Mexican that he is a very different fighter than those he has faced and that his belts will go home with him that night.
According to some experts' predictions, Terence Crawford will be at a disadvantage due to his weight and will not be able to defeat the Mexican, but others believe that size will not be an issue, since the American has the necessary skills to beat the 168-pound champion on his own two feet. ground.
After the fight with Cuban William Scull, where the Mexican fighter was criticized for his lackluster performance, many sports experts have changed their minds and see Bud with real chances of winning because they think the Guadalajara native is in decline.
If the American wins, he would become a three-time undisputed champion in different weight classes and make history in the sport, while Canelo Álvarez could end Crawford's undefeated record and send him into retirement.
Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez, 34, became undisputed champion for the second time at super middleweight after defeating William Scull and now has a record of 63 wins (39 by knockout), two losses and two draws in his professional career.
For his part, Terence Crawford, 38, became a four-division champion by defeating Israel Madrimov and remains one of the best pound-for-pound fighters. The undisputed two-time American champion now has 41 wins, 31 of them by knockout.
