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

    The first press conference to kick off their superfight might have been expected to feature more trash talk, but Saul ?Canelo? Alvarez and Terence Crawford kept it short and sweet.

    Owen Lewis - you missed out the most important news > Turki is offering an unspecified KO bonus in this fight !!! No more Tom and Jerry fights

      This fight is exciting because both of them are supremely confident and because nobody really knows how it will play out. Everybody is guessing, pretending to know what will happen, but nobody really knows until fight night. There are a number of possible scenarios, many of them even probable - from Crawford completely outboxing Canelo the way that Floyd and Dmitri did, to Canelo overpowering Bud forcing him to run for his life to avoid the knock out - and even a one punch knock out Amir Khan style. I personally cannot wait.

        What was interesting to me was seeing Canelo eye to eye with his opponent rather than straining his neck looking up ! I think Canelo is looking forward to not fighting a relative giant.

          "No more Tom & Jerry fights"??? I guess Sweet Pea Whitaker, Sweet Saoul Mamby and Wilfred Benitez could never fight for Turki.

            You picked the absolute wrong 3 to try to make your point. None of them were runners, All of them could stand toe to toe and make their opponents miss,And I'm pretty sure you already know this .

              "Canelo overpowering Bud forcing him to run for his life"

              expecting this. i think once crawford actually feels the power and strength of canelo and lands a few of his own that have no effect... remember canelo has a great chin took shots from GGG and bivol landed a lot on him, well that will be quiet discouraging and he will have to move and box but it will be more move to survive

                I think you are all in for a surprise, the ✊ time Crawford lands a clean punch you are going to see it have an effect on canelo. Similar to Usyk v fury.

                  Yes, but novice boxing fans like Turki would consider what they did to be "running". I don't recall ever seeing Sweet Pea or Benitez ever going punch-for-punch with their opponents.

                    Naw. Canelo has an iron chin that even Golovkin couldn’t dent.

                    Crawford isn’t going to do **** to it. The best he can hope for is to outbox Canelo and win on points, which is certainly possible.
