"Canelo was smart that he didn't fight Benevides but he was not smart that he fought Crawford at this stage of his career". That's the story of every top fighter. Picking and choosing who they think they can beat. The risks need to be less than the rewards. The whole sport is all about playing match making chess much more than in ring combat.
Canelo must have gotten over confident. Still Crawford has always had better Skills. He was able to take Canelo's Power (I don't know how) and it was a wrap after that.
Well that is what happens when a fighter gets lazy and starts fighting limited opposition for several years in a row. They don’t train or prepare properly and don’t take their opponents seriously.
When that happens, then you fight like a shop worn and burned out fighter. Well that is what happened to Canelo Alvarez. He underestimated Bud and it ended up backfiring on him.
But Nel o not looked good for a while now. Plus bud trained for Nel o and had game plan for nelo for a.long time, which was another disadvantage for nelo.
Bud has for a long time taken it easy as he knew he could make up for it with 1 win against nelo.
In the fight it just looked like one fighter did more homework
It's nothing to do with being burned out, Canelo has just got worse as a fighter; not throwing jabs, loading up with huge telegraphed shots etc... Those tactics might work against lower level opposition but the minute he's in with better fighters he ends up getting exposed.
buds just a better fighter than canelo even at canelos weight, is canelo tip top sharp now, no hes not but even if he was i still think bud beats him, canelos dimensions match up well with bud as well and bud has the better skills so canelo avoided a benny beatdown and swapped it for getting outboxed by bud
Canelo must have gotten over confident. Still Crawford has always had better Skills. He was able to take Canelo's Power (I don't know how) and it was a wrap after that.
He took the power because canelo doesn't have a one punch ko.
