Comments Thread For: Say less: Canelo Alvarez, Terence Crawford quiet but calculated

[MulaKO]

I can see if that is what he was implying with Reynoso's team, but he called it Canelo's team. Canelo is just a boxer on Reynoso's team, he obviously is the most important boxer on that team, but it is Reynoso who runs the team and overlooks the training for all fighters on that team.

But that wasn't what I was referring to or questioning, because it is a fact that many on the team that Canelo is a part of including him, have tested positive. The part of his post I was questioning was this:

"Crawford has already been tested for PEDs and they continue to surprise him at random times and dates. In the meantime Canelo hasn't been tested once, even knowing that he has used PEDs in the past. So far Canelos team has been caught no less than 6 times with PEDs and still not a single test by VADA.

On top of that, Canelo is demanding there be no re-hydration clause and is expected to come in at 190lbs."

The bolded part I do not believe, but I am open to being enlightened or educated if indeed the bolded is true. I'd like the see the links of credible sources that can corroborate those claims..

Sorry brother , I don’t have an answer for the first bolded part but I just read that there is no rehydration clause and Bud stating he wants no excuses when he wins the match
Pretty bold statement from Bud

Yes, there is no rehydration clause because that is standard, unless the A side(Canelo in this case) demands a rehydration clause. Bud hasn't demanded a rehydration clause nor has Canelo demanded NOT to have a rehydration clause. It's business as usual for a Vegas fight with the acceptation of Turki offering an incentive for the fighter who provides more entertainment or who throws more punches. That and possibly and 18X18 ring, but those are Turki's doings not Canelo's..

I'll look for the article I read but it stated that it was an agreement which Canelo gladly accepted
Like I said before , Bud’s answer to that was no excuses

Ok, so you're saying that Crawford demanded a no rehydration limit clause correct?

No not at all
Seems like they discussed it and came to that agreement together
I know the Vegas commission rules state that only Canelo would have that option

Both guys have no doubt in their mind they will win, I’m starting to buy in on this.

Well yeah, but what I'm saying is that a rehydration or a non rehydration clause was never proposed by either party. The poster that I replied to stated or implied that Canelo made it a point to make sure Bud couldn't demand one so he(Canelo) would have an advantage. That is not the case, neither Bud nor Canelo is trying to get a weight advantage, they are both going along with standard commission rules...

Only one of the commissions has a 10 pound max rehydration rule which gets nullified when the fight is a unification bout, which is why Boots was able to rehydrate 20 pounds on fight night against Stanionis. Can't remember if it is the WBA or IBF that has that rule..

IBF is the one with no more than 10 pounds on fight night
