Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford outboxes, upsets Canelo Alvarez in historic win

How is fighting an elite undefeated top boxer is cherrypicking? Man i swear some folkes just say the dumbest things and pls dont take it as an offense but calling Bud and Bivol a cherrypick is just absurd to not say idiotic lol.

a guy coming up 3 weight classes and bivol back then was a guy who all canelo fans thought he would win and probably win quite easy, bivol was +700 odds to get the decision v canelo lol did u forget this?

benny was the guy every fan wanted canelo to fight but most actually thought he would lose, so did canelo so he ran a mile from him, its simple really

How did it compare to the fights with 3G ? he had more control and agression then Saul had over 3G so there is that. He never took the bait he never gave into any traps he just took the lead, and left the scene when he did the work.

Bro Benavidez lost those belts and he doesn't even compete at 168 anymore ,even still that doesnt justify calling Bivol and Bud a cherrypick both being great fighters maybe you're the one not smart enough to comprehend that fact, thats just straightforward dumb.

if u dont understand my explanations there is nothing else i can say, i typed as clear as i could, and slowly too i might add

Canelo did cherry pick Bud. Yes, Bud is elite. But Canelo picked him knowing that he was a much smaller man moving up, just like he did with Jermell "aluminum foil" Charlo. In his calculation, there was no way Bud could beat him because he was way too small. He did this, rather than fight someone who has was challenging him to fight for over a decade, in David Benavidez. This was indeed another cherry pick gone wrong. It was similar to Amir Khan agreeing to face Kell Brook, only after Kell had both sides of his face broken and had plates and screws inserted, and been knocked out by Bud. Cherry picking in terms of boxing means picking a fighter based on some extreme perceived advantage you believe you have over them.

Tyson is like 60 years old. Jake Paul is barely 30. And you use him of all people to make a comparison for your lame argument? Jake Paul is the face of circus activities. You my friend, are seriously triple dumb !!

He was only 58, and as stated, reprimed for the fight. Every athlete can reprime once in their career, even at 58, and Tyson was at his absolute best for that fight. Nash out - His Majesty

Wholeheartedly and respectfully disagree, seems like you going on a fighter perception, you as fan cant tell what is really going on a fighters mind, and dont get me wrong, I know what a calculated risk is, but that doesn't mean the risk to lose completely goes away as we saw last night there was other factors that play in a high level boxing match even so when two fighters involved are indeed high stakes elite fighters , and Benavidez hasn't been calling out canelo for a decade stop the cap lol,

In sorry brother but calling both Bivol and TC cherrypicks gone wrong is absurd to say the least, they were never cherries to begin with, any respectable boxing fans that actually observes boxing and know its all about styles knows this.

Spence (maybe)
Nelo

Not sure where this ATG stuff is coming from

at least now we can see why Canelo was ducking Benavidez

[JOM'S]

great performance from Terrence, showed good chin and still some power at the weight!

who should he fight next?

[Coverdale]

Bro, we have never seen Canelo this frustrated to the point where he was ready to quit. Tell me you didn’t see Canelo ready to quit?

Honestly, I know what you mean. It was the 11th when he was throwing his head around after taking punches right? He was done and his interview spoke volumes.

[Coverdale]

Great performance by Bud. To touch on the fact he was not given big money opportunity until Alalshikh, who was it who didn't push him?
Everystein, Singleberg and Timeowitz. Adios to their rep, Bob Arum.
Now if only the nasally, whiny New Yawwkuh Kellerman to retire......

Yes! I was cringing hard at his overthought, rambling questions. He was pulling strange faces too like he has early onset Parkinson's.
