Canelo Alvarez Vs Tender Crawford: job levels, tactical collapse and final forecast

When you talk about Saul ‘Canelo’ alvarez and look at what he achieved-from his first appearance as a fifteen-year-old boy so far a thirty-five-year-old man-is easy to run out of outstanding. The same applies to the “Bud” Croford.

The legendary words, the cores, the hero were undisputed, and the book of pounds for a pound by the boxing scales for decades, but we rarely hear the fighters who are described as distinctive. Crawford and Elvares are that; They are both unusual in their lives as authors.

Kruvord started boxing at the age of seven at the local gym in Omaha, Nebraska. He held a campaign in seventy competitions before turning into a professional in 2008.

Alvarez Amateur Foundation

Alvarez came from a combat family, after his brothers to the gym every day, where he was watching him training and training. He was thirteen years old when he started boxing in amateurs. Forty -six competitions, Alvarez became a professional in 2005 at the age of fifteen.

In 2014, after achieving a wonderful series of victory 22-0, Croford traveled to Glasgow, Scotland, to challenge the light WBO champion Ricky Burns. The solid hero was abroad and outperformed him when Cruford took his heart and phases, overcoming points to win his first world title.

Climbing divisions

Good won Yurriork Gamboa and Raymundo Crawford to ascend to fight Thomas Dullme to get the WBO for light weight in Texas. Kravord dulory to win the sixth round and become the two -weight world champion.

Croford went to defend his light weight title, then beat the strict Ukrainian boxer Victor Postul for the WBC Lightweight title and the ring belt in 2016.

In 2018, Crowford moved to the Australian fighting challenge Jeff Horn for his new WBO title. Crowford dismantled and outperformed the hero to win a world title in a third -weight.

Crawford versus the competitors on the best

Kraovord went to overcome Amir Khan, the agent of Brock and Shawn Porter, in a big victory. It was now 2022, after which David Avanisian was. Kraoford brought it out in the sixth round to keep his weight title in WBO, and this victory was effective in securing a huge battle with the unified weight hero in the world, and Errol Spence JR. I chose Cruford to control and control the battle – my opinion was to enter Spence as a damaged fighter. I thought Crawford would target and act Ain Spence, overcoming the unified champion on the pulp to become the undisputed world champion in the world.

A year after a vacation, Crovord moved to the WBO champion of the Mediterranean weight Israel, Israel, in 2024. Maadimov was decorative amateurs with 350 competitions under his belt and was not defeated as a professional. The man from Uzbekistan was a good and difficult teacher as a rock.

Crowford is well surrounded by facing Merimmov and winning at home, but the hero was proudly fought and determined to take Crowford the distance in a huge battle. Kraovord beat all the three performance cards to become the fourth world champion. Terring Croford is 41-0 with 31 cos.

Faris’s first world title

Saul Alvarez won his first world title in his thirty -seventh battle. The English fighter Matthew Haton beat points to claim the vacant WBC Junior MiddleWight championship in 2011.

After the victories of the knockout on Ryan Rhodes, Alfonso Gomez, and Kermet Centron, he was identical to the fight against Shen Moussly in 2012. Alvarez fought with patience and maturity against the dangerous and dangerous Musley, and won points in Las Vegas.

Facing Mayweather and outside it

After beating Giusito Lopez and Austin Traout and adding medium weight belts in WBA and Ring Junior, Floyd Mayweather took over. Mayweather was very good from the inside, very smart outside, and very fast for Alvarez, overlooking him in 2013.

In March 2014, Alvarez returned against Alfredo Annolo, overwhelming him in ten rounds, then Ertines Lara fought in a closely disputed attack and won it with a disputed decision. After that, James Kurchland was the powerful, but Alvarez pressure, his speed and strength was too much – which led to his removal in the third round to establish a battle with the great Puerto Rico Miguel Coto.

Cotto Clash and khan are upset

Alvarez and Cotto traded punches for twelve huge rounds, but in the end, the speed, timing and diversity of the decisive hole were proven. Alvarez Coto faced large hands from the right, higher, and solid body clips to win a unanimous decision in Las Vegas.

In 2016, Alvarez reached Amir Khan and was being drafted until he entered his destroyed right hand in the sixth round, which brought him out in the cold. Alvarez then won the WBO title for the medium weight after Liam Smith’s brave shattered, and hit his body with a screaming left to take him out in the ninth round.

Chavez Junior and Jolovkin’s materials

In 2017, Julio Cesar Chavez JR. (50-2-1) next. Testosterone rights, Mexican pride, and bragging rights were the main topics of this battle in weight. Alvarez dismantled and punished Chavez Junior, and took him on the twelve round of the weekend on Mexican Independence Day in Las Vegas.

Jennadi Golovkin was terrorizing the medium weight division for years, and it was a battle with Alvarez is profitable and inevitable. The first seizure was announced in September 2017 as a divided tie – Ghani was robbed. The return match came after twelve months delay, and Alvarez announced the winner of the majority decision, claiming the world’s medium weighing championship.

Later on professional defenses and address

From there, Alvarez defeated Rocky Fielding in medium weight and Daniel Jacobs in medium weights in 2019. Then he ascended to the heavy weight of the challenge Sergey Kovalv for the WBO title, stopping Kovalv in the eleventh round.

After defeating Callum Smith on points and defended his medium weight surnames, he was hit by Avni Yildirim in three rounds, Billy Joe Sonders was destroyed in eight rounds, and Caleb Plant stopped on eleven rounds to finish in 2021 as an undisputed hero.

Alvarez vamels heavy weight of the challenge in Dmitry Bever in May 2022. Bever brilliantly fought to close the Alvarez attack and kept his title.

Alvarez then returned to Las Vegas in a triple battle with Golovkin in the superior medium weight, and won a decision unanimously and kept all the main belts. He continued to defend his medium weight titles against John Ryder, Jeremmel Charlo, Jimmy Montgoya, Edghar Birlanga and William School.

In the thirty -fourth, sixty -seven fighting profession, is Alvarez at the end? Of course not. He made hundreds of millions by dismantling and expelling opponents, but it seems that his destructive strength has shrunk over the years in the medium weight.

Comparative analysis: Experience against skill

Croford will be thirty -eight on the night of the fighting, but he had much fewer battles and less than wear. Eleven have won the Mubtotin since he became a tormented fighter.

Since 2021, Kraovord fought five times with four hinders. Alvarez fought ten times, and seven of these battles went to the distance.

There is a lot of talk from the boxers of the interior who say Cruford will be very small for the medium weight. This is the absolute nonsense. Alvarez is 5′8 ″ with 70.5 ″ wings; Crawford is 5′8 ″ with 74.0 wings.

This battle revolves around who can better adapt to the man who stands in front of them. Experience with Alvarez. Skill with Cruford.

Battle

Alvarez and Croford were fighting and training for years. Who is the fighter with the least erosion? Croford won 31 wins in stopping, and has been a dominant force since 2008. Alvarez won 39 wins 39 wins, but the last TKO was in 2021 in medium weight. Will Crowford prepare his strength in two parts of weight? Maybe not.

To win, Cruford needs the box, moving and moving away from the ropes. JAB is the key – use a blow to it and double it. Cruford has rhythm, balance, and movement, and can switch effortlessly from SouthPaw to Orthodoxy. It is the superior boxer, and it can punch. Can it harm Alvarez? Yes. Can Alvarez stop? no.

Alvarez is a pressure fighter – a great machine, the sharp shooter. Will he benefit from the slow Croford tactic? Can it be a Croford box? The answer is no. Will Crowford make him grow up and farewell to fighting? Yes.

Croford by a unanimous decision in this battle of heroes.
