Rosado on Make-or-Dear Crawford Mission

Gabe Rosado says Terence Crawford will not move much in his fight with Canelo Alvarez on September 13th. He notes that Crawford (41-0, 31 Kos) is a fighter and does not move much in his fight. With the pressure he has put on for their battle, he will not be able to move even if he did so.

“People say Canelo is having problems with movers. The reality is, Crawford is not a mover. Crawford is a fighter who works at angles. He is not on his feet like Muhammad Ali. He’s not that kind of boxer,” Gabe Rosado told him HUB TV fights. “So, it’s going to be there to be hit, and that favors Canelo.”

Crawford’s do-or-or-like mission

The pressure that Crawford has put on will make it even more difficult for him to move around. He looks like he has made up his mind, and is on a making-or-dead mission. Terence banking at its extra size is enough to carry it to victory. If not, at least he will have tried. He wasn’t going to come in slim, as he was too small and weak to compete with Alvarez.

“Overnight, is Crawford going to change his style and become a mover, moving up three weight class? Now, you’re going to put all that weight, and you’ve never boxed like that before. How can you? I don’t see it changing its style,” said Gabe.

It’s been years since Crawford did a lot of movement in fights. When he went up in weight to 147 in 2018, that’s when he started to slow down. The last time he moved a lot against Viktor Postol in 2016. He was 28 at that time. Crawford is turning 38 next month on September 28th, and can’t move longer.

Terence Pride and Ego Risk

“Crawford is a heartbreak, and he is actually a fighter. There is a time where Canelo catches him, his pride and ego are going to get there, he’s going to try to get him back. That’s going to open opportunities for Canelo to land big shots,” said Rosado.

Terence will not want to give Jerry a similar fight with Turki Alalshikh sitting in the front line at the Allegion Stadium in Las Vegas. The guilt would eat Crawford up because he got $ 50 million. He won’t want to drop Turki down by running through the night.
