Canelo Blueprint vs Crawford: Abel Sanchez details how Alvarez will dominate Terence

Coach Abel Sanchez says Canelo Alvarez will hit Terence Crawford on his arms and to the body to wear it down on September 13th. He does not believe that Crawford (41-0, 31 ko) will be able to avoid being hit by movement because he is not going to get the feet in 168 he did in 147.

Sanchez says Crawford should have started to fight larger men already during his year out of the ring. Terence chose to wait for his conflict against Canelo, rather than using his time to prepare with Tune-ups at 168.

Crawford Opportunity Opportunity

“I would have had it fighting larger men, and doing much more strength and conditioning because it will need it,” said coach Abel Sanchez Johnny’s boy boxing About what he would have done to prepare Terence Crawford for the fight against Canelo Alvarez.

Sanchez has the right idea. Crawford should have used the year he has been out of the ring to take a couple of tunes in 168 to be adjusted to the weight before fighting Canel. For whatever reason, Terence chose to sit in an active, focusing solely on bulking up. It was a missed opportunity, but shows that he is afraid to take risks that something bad is happening.

“It’s going to be faster in the three or four first rounds because it’s faster than Canelo. But once Canelo starts to pound on his arms and pounds on it, it’s a big truck hit him,” said Sanchez. “It’s going to be difficult to stay away from him unless he fought (William) Scull. But I don’t think he had the legs, especially in 168, which he had in 147.”

Terence didn’t even have the legs at the age of 154. We found that Israil Madrimov was faster on his feet and landed the better shots. Crawford will not even dare try to turn the battle fighting Tom and Jerry because Turki Alalshikh will not want anger. He pays him a lot of money, and Crawford will feel a must to entertain, even if he leads to being cast out.

Canelo to break crawford

“Of course, he’s going to help him (Crawford) at the start of the fighting when Canelo is still trying to assimilate his speed,” said Sanchez when asked if Crawford’s high boxing IQ will help him against Alvarez. “Once he catches up to some things Crawford does, he’s going to hit him.”

Crawford’s speed may not be advantageous of him even in the early rounds. The pressure he has put on will slow it down, and will make it much easier to hit by Canelo. He’s going to try to stop Canelo the way Floyd Mayweather Jr did, but he doesn’t have the hand speed he had.
