Terence Crawford Delivers Honest 2 Word Reaction To Canelo Showing Off His Power In Training Clip

Terence Crawford may have landed the fight he has been shouting about for two years as Saul ‘Canelo‘ Alvarez finally comes around to the idea.

The two four-weight world champions met with boxing powerbroker Turki Alalshikh this month and it is understood that he is pursuing a September bout in Las Vegas which would see Crawford move up two divisions from his last bout to challenge Alvarez at super-middleweight

Though many in the sport feat that the jump up will be too much for the American to handle against a Canelo who has been dominated at 168 pounds for some years, ‘Bud’ himself is adamant he has what it takes to win.

One worry for the smaller man will be the power of Canelo’s shots. Though he is on a five-fight stoppage drought, his last coming against Caleb Plant in 2021 to become undisputed, the Mexican puts real strength into his shots and most opponents speak highly of his power.

A clip doing the rounds on social media recently showed Canelo throwing thudding hooks at the heavy bag. In response, Crawford said, “that’s cute.”

Crawford packs a punch himself, boasting 31 stoppages from 41 wins. He did, however, go the distance in his latest fight, a super-welterweight debut against tricky and tough Israil Madrimov.

Some read into that as his power not carrying up as he adds more divisions to his legacy. If that is the case, it does not bode well for another 14 pound weight gain in against a man in Canelo who has never been dropped or stopped in 66 bouts. He is not expected to have the benefit of rehydration clause in the contract.
