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

[NoConcoms]

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.

I think Crawford has more than enough to keep Canelo at bay. And if he lets it go like he did against Spence, I think a late round stoppage is possible.

In all likelihood though, the size difference will be too much. Canelo is a much bigger man, and that will be the main factor.

Major respect to both fighters for making this fight happen!

Just in.....Instead of a 24x24 foot ring, I was told it's going to be 18x18 or about the size of a big bedroom.

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.

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.

And thats an interesting point, because just like Fury (with Wilder) Canelo has been through some battles and has taken some shots in his career. Maybe the cumulative wear and tear will have added up for him and Crawford will be the straw to break the Camel's back. I don't think it is the case, but not impossible.

Turki has made it clear what size the ring will be, nothing new to any of the fighters.

Can you provide a link that confirms that Bud was recently tested? No credible source, to my knowledge, has stated that tests for either fighter has begun.

As for a no re-hydration clause, no such clause has been requested. Bud hasn't nor can make any requests since he's the challenger. The contracts are signed, there have been no surprises to any of the teams.

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.

I think, most boxing fans, including Turki, know the difference between a great defense and running. Compare Sweet Pea, Benitez, Floyd, Willy Pep and other defensive specialist with the likes of William Scul, Devin Haney and other track stars.

Lol caught 6 times huh? For what substances ,dosage? Is there any article or piece of info to back that up? Never heard of this b4 tbh.

Hope you're not making stuff up lol.

As far as im concerned BOTH guys are being watch closely by VADA

[TheIronMike]

Monzon was criticized for facing Napoles.....Unfortunately, Canelo ain't no Monzon, so Crawford may just outbox him (Trout, Lara), and may possibly beat his ahh (Mayweather/Bivol/GGGx2)

He's either making it up or getting his information from them YouTube channels that are always making stuff up. Having said that, I don't mind being corrected and can admit when I'm wrong, but I'll wait for him to provide credible sources to back up his claims....

I think he’s talking about Reynoso fighters who have tested positive for peds
This was brought up when Munguia tested positive and Oscar went off on his clap podcast

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.

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..
