Again ? Errol Spence Sums Up Terence Crawford’s Power Perfectly In 2 Words Ahead Of Canelo Fight

If there is one man that knows a thing or two about the power of Terence Crawford, it’s Errol Spence Jr. Spence suffered the first defeat of his professional career to ‘Bud’ Crawford in their long-awaited showdown at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas back in July 2023, which was contested for the undisputed world welterweight championship.

Crawford dominated Spence on the night, dropping him on several occasions throughout the contest before eventually stopping him in the ninth round to make history and become the first undisputed welterweight champion of the ‘four belt’ era.

‘The Truth’ has not fought since suffering that defeat two years ago, however it is rumoured that the 35-year-old from Long Island, New York is currently preparing for a return to the ring, potentially at light-middleweight.

Spence has since shared details of Crawford’s punching power, paying homage to the physical strength of the 37-year-old from Omaha and describing him as a ‘strong dude’.

“He’s a strong dude. I got a feel for his power probably like first, second round. You know, everybody at this top level have some type of power. But I think because my timing was off he was catching me in between shots.”

Evander Holyfield Has Showed His Interest Up On Who Wins Canelo vs Terence Crawford Fight

The Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford fight continues to generate interest from some of boxing’s biggest names.

Two of the sport’s best pound-for-pound fighters will meet when Terence Crawford steps up to 168lbs to challenge Canelo Alvarez  for his undisputed super-middleweight crown in September, with Las Vegas expected to play host to the showdown.

The fight was officially announced in May after Canelo beat IBF champion William Scull to add that belt to his WBC, WBA and WBO collection and become the sole ruler of the super-middleweight division for the second time.

Crawford will be stepping up two weight divisions from 154lbs for the fight, having won the WBA super-welterweight title in his last contest when he defeated Israil Madrimov in August 2024, though ‘Bud’ has spent the majority of his career competing at welterweight.

It was in that division where he became undisputed, whilst he also managed to achieve that honour at super-lightweight, meaning he will be looking to become the first male fighter in history to be undisputed in three divisions should he beat Canelo later this year.

One man who also knows what it is like to be undisputed in multiple divisions is Evander Holyfield, after he accomplished it at both cruiserweight and heavyweight during his career

Holyfield has offered his take for how he feels the Canelo vs. Crawford fight will go, revealing to Fight Hub TV that he thinks it will be a step too far for Crawford.

“It’s gonna be hard to beat Canelo. He’s real basic but a good fighter.”

While Holyfield may have his doubts, one man who he was previously beaten by is picking Crawford, after James Toney backed ‘Bud’ to follow in his footsteps.

Lagtest News & Updxates: Manny Pacquiao gives his verdict on Canelo Alvarez  vs Terence Crawford fight and sends a message to the American boxer

For an eight-division boxing champion like Manny Pacquiao, he can comment on any topic he wants. On this occasion, the issue that has caused a stir is about the fight between Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Terence Crawford, which will undergo changes of venue and date, but not of protagonists

During his visit to Los Angeles, a possible venue for the fight between the Mexican and the Briton, Manny Pacquiao, 46 years old, is preparing for his fight against welterweight champion Mario Barrios on July 19, in his return to the ring after four years of absence. However, local reporters took advantage of his presence to ask him his opinion about the fight between Canelo vs Crawford.

The British boxer will have to gain around 12.5 pounds to face Canelo Alvarez, so Pacman was asked for some advice for Crawford to reach the weight without setbacks, remembering that the Filipino champion did it on several occasions to dominate eight different categories
 was Manny’s quick response, before embarking on his preparation and promotional activities.
However, does Manny Pacquiao look favorably on the fight between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford? With another quick response, the multi-champion replied with thumbs up:
where he does not seem to be displeased with this confrontation after the questions that the Mexican monarch has received about his lack of physical condition and his fights that generate a lot of money, but little sporting spectacle.

The British boxer will move up two divisions for his fight against the Mexican. Many analysts seem to be unsure about the direction of the fight. Especially after the showdown in Riyadh, doubts about Canelo’s physical superiority also diminished.

However, Manny Pacquiao’s quick responses are in favor of this fight or he opted for a safer bet. Canelo Alvarez is the super middleweight king. Crawford enters his lair to claim the crown. The Mexican, with 67 fights under his belt, is one of the most successful executioners of British fighters. It is expected that both fighters can give the sport a touch of greatness, something that has been diluted in recent years.

“I Speak The Truth” Gervonta Davis Makes His Feelings Perfectly Clear On Canelo vs Crawford

Gervonta Davis has shared his thoughts on the upcoming showdown between Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and Terence Crawford

It was announced shortly after Canelo’s victory against William Scull that the pound-for-pound stars would lock horns on September 12 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Canelo defeated IBF champion Scull via unanimous decision to re-capture the undisputed super-middleweight championship, becoming the first fighter in boxing history to achieve this feat during the ‘four belt era’.

With arguably the biggest fight in boxing now official, ‘Tank’ Davis has weighed in on the highly anticipated super-middleweight battle, as he reveals in a media scrum that he believes ‘Bud’ is fighting Canelo ‘for the money’

“Crawford needs the money. I’m telling you … That’s why he says he don’t like me, cause I speak real s**t.”

Davis was then asked if he believes the significant weight difference will play a factor on fight night, as Crawford prepares to step up two whole weight classes

“I ain’t trying to convince y’all that he can beat Canelo! He’s a good fighter, but… Bro, I would say smaller fighters are always better than bigger fighters cause they know how to move and things like that.”

Should Crawford be victorious against Canelo, the 37-year-old switch-hitter from Omaha would become a five-division world champion and the first fighter in male boxing history to win the undisputed championship in three weight classes

Terence Crawford wins world title in fourth division, is Canelo next?

By
Terence Crawford Israil Madrimov

Terence Crawford is now a four-division world champion.

Terence “Bud” Crawford won a world title in his fourth weight class, beating Israil Madrimov to capture the WBA super welterweight title on Saturday night in Los Angeles.

It was the closest call of Crawford’s career, though, with judges scoring the fight 115-113, 115-113, and 116-112.

Madrimov (10-1-1, 7 KO) showed he absolutely can hang against a top name in the sport, but probably fell short with the judges simply on output and effective aggression, though he landed quite a few solid right hands to Crawford’s head.

Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) did some nasty body work in the fight, but did struggle with the upper body movement and feinting of Madrimov, who was able to prevent Crawford from ever hitting his trademark rhythm, the level of momentum that usually leads to him stopping opponents.

Madrimov was never in any real danger of being stopped, and the same is true of Crawford.

“Israil was a tough competitor. I knew all about him. He’s real strong, he’s durable, he took a lot of good shots, and he got through round 12,” Crawford said. “He had fast feet, he had rhythm upstairs, and he was strong. He was very disciplined, he wasn’t coming in throwing wild shots. He fought a good fight.”

“You can feel the difference. Israil’s a real strong opponent. For us to fight a guy of his caliber in our first fight (at 154) says a lot about me and my team.”

“If the money’s right, you got a fight. But he’s got a fight that he’s focused on, I’m gonna go back to my family and enjoy this win.”

Crawford said he had no doubts about fighting Canelo at 168, calling the matchup “another milestone to greatness, and financially-wise.”

Madrimov said he would like a rematch, which is frankly very unlikely. “I felt that I was pretty much controlling everything, that I did enough.”
