The hunt for easy prey: Jackson declares that Crawford Canelo is fighting against Cerios Choice
Coach John David Jackson says that Choosing Canelo Alvarez from Terence Crawford is another example of his cherries collecting an opponent who believes he can beat.
Jackson says that for the past two years, Canelo (63-2-2, 39 KOS) has been carefully selecting his opposition. He notes that Alvarez has not fought a top quality opponent in a while.
In the case of Crawford, Canelo has chosen the right time to fight with the native of Nebraska turning 38 in September, looking old, and coming off the worst performance of a career against Israil Madrimov a year ago on August 3, 2024. You could say from that battle that Crawford has lost much of his game properly.
The choice of Crawford, with him showing age, unactity, and open in his last battle, shows that Canelo has not lost his touch in choosing his opponent. He did not fight Golovkin’s ambassador until GGG was 36, though he pushed for a battle of 32.
“Canelo has been collecting cherry for a long time now. He collects cherries with this fight. He has a smaller guy he thinks he can beat. Why didn’t Benavidez choose?” coach John David Jackson said to Second About Canelo Alvarez fights Terence Crawford. “Set traps for him and don’t be there after he has installed that trap,” said Jackson about what Crawford should do. “
Jackson is 100% correct. Alvarez has been chosen an old smaller fighter, coming off a year -on -year, and after fighting only five times in the last five years. Ambition is long extinct, chances of beating any of the skills at 154, zero.
Were it not for Turki Alalshikh, throwing a lifeline to Crawford here by paying him gold ore for last year against Madrimov and his unpleasant title shot against Canelo on September 13th, Bud would be a food for the young sharks in 154.
“Box it. You don’t have to go for beating. Just boxing. Crawford is a smart fighter. It’s a very difficult battle. I give Crawford a hell of a shot. I’d say he slips because he hasn’t fought world -class opponents in the past few years,” Jackson said about Canelo. “I wouldn’t say it was soft, but definitely he’s not the fighter he was once. He’s not had a big fight in a while.
“This fight, it may rise for. It’s aging. It’s not old, but it rises in age. This fighting may rise where he is the best he can be, but I don’t see it,” said Jackson.
