Canelo Alvarez kayang dominahin sa laban si Crawford - Mosley

Naniniwala ang dating world champion at boxing legend na si ‘Sugar’ Shane Mosley na walang laban si Terence Crawford sa mas malaki at mas malakas na si Canelo Alvarez sa kanilang inaabangang sagupaan sa Setyembre 13.

Tahasang sinabi ni Mosley na magiging mahirap ang laban para kay Crawford sapagkat dodominahin lang ni Canelo ang laban dahil sa layo ng agwat nilang dalawa pagdating sa laki, lakas, at istilo ng laro sa ring.

“Canelo Alvarez is ‘too big’ for Terence Crawford, and he’s not going to do well in this fight because he’s not a mover. If he could move, he’d have a better chance of winning. The legs are gone for the 37-year-old Crawford. September 13th will be a bad day for Crawford,” ani Mosley. 

Bagamat may malinis na record si Crawford na 41 panalo, walang talo (31 KOs), duda si Mosley na kakayanin nito ang bagsik ng Mexican champion lalo na’t ang huling nakalaban ni Crawford na si Israil Madrimov ay mas maliit at hindi kasing bigat ni Canelo.

“I think Canelo is too big for Crawford. If Crawford was a mover like the rest of them, then maybe he could have a good chance with Canelo. Crawford is going to be in for a surprise when he gets inside the ring with Canelo and starts getting hit by him. He’s bigger and stronger than Crawford’s last opponent, Israil Madrimov. Once Crawford starts getting hit by Canelo, he’ll understand that this is a much different type of fighter than his last bout against Madrimov. It’s going to be harder for him due to his lack of size and advanced age,” dagdag pa ni Mosley.

Iginiit din ni Mosley na hindi na kasing-mobile si Crawford gaya noong mga nakaraang taon, at ito raw ay magiging malaking sagabal lalo na’t hindi raw ito sanay na umiwas sa laban.

“If Crawford was a mover like the rest of them, then maybe he could have a good chance with Canelo. Crawford is going to be in for a surprise when he gets inside the ring with Canelo and starts getting hit by him,” sabi pa ni Mosley.

Binanggit din ni Mosley na mas malakas at mas mabigat si Canelo kumpara sa huling nakalaban ni Crawford na si Israil Madrimov, at tiyak daw na mararamdaman ni Crawford ang malaking kaibahan sa lakas at kalidad ng kalaban.

Binigyang-diin pa ni Mosley na ang kakulangan ng laban ni Crawford mula noong 2020 ay nakakaapekto sa kanyang galaw sa ibabaw ng lona.

Ngunit para kay Mosley, tila tapos na ang kwento kahit hindi pa nagsisimula ang laban.

“He’s been fighting only once a year since 2020. That helped take away his mobility. He got comfortable once he started making millions. When a fighter gets lazy after becoming a millionaire, this is what you get,” dagdag pa ni Mosley.

Sa Setyembre 13 magaganap ang laban nina Canelo Alvarez at Terence Crawford sa isang world championship bout na inaasahang magiging isa sa pinakamalaking laban ng taon.
