Kelly Pavlik’s strategy: Alvarez canelo weight early to exhaust

Kelly Pavlik says Terence Crawford should press Canelo Alvarez hard in the early rounds to try to get out in their battle on September 13th. The former Pavlik weight champion, because Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KOS) will fade by the seventh round if Crawford (41-0, 31 KOS) will force him to fight quickly.

Fighting like that would require Crawford to be hit by a fresh canelo, and he would need a good jaw to handle the power. For the Crawford, 38-ish, to go slightly time and time again to the head and body early in the fighting, he would ask many of the native of Omaha, Nebraska.

“I wouldn’t stay in one stance long enough for Canelo to find out. That’s going to be a huge thing,” Kelly Pavlik said HUB TV fights About Terence Crawford needs to change stances to confuse Canelo Alvarez.

It is skeptical whether Crawford is going to confuse Canelo by changing stances often during the fighting. Alvarez has fought plenty of fighters who have changed stances during his career, and does not work.

Against the weak opposition Terence has fought mainly during his career, he did not mind changing from Southpaw to Orthodox repeatedly. He was going to beat them using any stance because they were weak fighters. People do not have the insight to look at the opposition on which Crawford has built his 41-0 record, and finds that he might have just stayed in the de-dirt stance to beat them in the same way.

“Stay on A ** Canelo early. Put Canelo behind. Even if three out of the first four rounds, because when Canelo has to fight, after seven rounds, he starts to fade a little,: Pavlik said.” We’ve seen that with Bivol. We have seen that with much of her fighting with GGG. When Canelo can control the fighting and general singing, yes, it can fight 12 rounds quite well. “

Crawford cannot stay on the head of Canelo the way he made Golovkin and Dmitry Bivol’s ambassador because he is not as big, difficult, or as powerful as those fighters. We’ve seen Crawford hurt by smaller boys. GGG and Bivol took a huge punch from Canelo. They were able to do it because of their size and jaw. Crawford is too fragile to brawl with canelo the way Pavlik wants him to do.

“But when Canelo is pushed early in fighting, he begins to face wisely in muscle endurance,” said Pavlik. “If I were Crawford, I would (weigh it) in the early rounds. Make him to play catch up in rounds three, four and five. Then by round seven, that’s when he can really step it up.”

Crawford took a lot of punishment in his last battle against Israil Madrimov’s ‘little GGG’ when he stopped running and began to press it in the Championship rounds. As he worked, he led to Crawford to eat power shots on the right time and time again from Madrimov, who made those rounds difficult to score. Madrimov landed the larger and harder punch when Terence attacked them.
