Coach Bernie Tha Boxer confirmed that Terence Crawford against Canelo Alvarez was “underway for September 13”.
Bernie says that Crawford (41-0, 31 ko) obtained the fight against the unified average weight champion of Canelo (62-2-2, 39 ko) with what he did, and he does not need to go to 168 to beat any of the contenders to prove itself. What he did from 135 to 154 is enough.
Canelo-Crawford confirmed
Bernie says that the name of Crawford will come first before that of Canelo for the fight of September 13. It’s hard to believe, of course. It looks like a jostling From Crawford and his team, but if Turki Al-Sheikh is ready to pay so that the 38-year-old bud increases two weight categories to fight Canelo, that’s what he wants. Depending on what handbags for Canelo and Crawford are, this could make a profit. I don’t think this is the case if the PPV price is low.
Canelo will be the one who will bring fans because Crawford is not a la carte draw. Even with its fight against Ismael Madrimov with a subcart man in charge of major fights last August, this did not bring many purchases.
“Super fight, mega-combat. Why would he need to do this after all he has accomplished and everything he showed in the ring? Why would he do that? said coach Bernie Tha Boxer to CombinationReacting to the criticisms of the fans, who consider that Terence Crawford should prove himself in 168 to show that he deserves a fight against the unified champion of average weights Canelo Alvarez.
“The things he did have hardly been done before. Two Twe Timed and Unified Champion in three weights but (won) four (divisions). He has been on the book list for more than 10 years. What can you ask more? We did not get the Pacquiao or Mayweather combat or anyone from this caliber. This is the fight, ”said Bernie.
Crawford did not fight a great opposition to become an undisputed champion with two divisions. He was like another Adrien Broner, winning four world division titles against the marginal opposition. Terence has never beaten great fighters to win any of his titles in a weight division. He was well maneuvered to avoid being beaten.
Crawford fighters have been beaten for twice undeniable

- Jeff Horn: won WBO
Light Welter weight (140)
- Thomas Dulorme: won WBO
- Viktor Postol: won WBC
- Julius Indonedo: WA IBF & WBA
The size does not matter
“The guy (Canelo) is bigger and has a lot of experience. He is young. Canelo is 34 or 35 years old, something like that. Nothing ever comes easy. We have never obtained pacquiao or a guy our size with a global impact he has. They made sure they stayed away from us. It’s no different, ”said Bernie.
You can say that Crawford dodges his own fighters at the end of his career in the same way as Pacquiao at the age of 37 or 38 and has shown no interest in fighting him. Crawford does not rush to fight Jaron Ennis, Bakhram Murtazaliev, Vergil Ortiz or Serhii Bohachuk. He does the same thing as Pacquiao was late in his career, choosing and choosing.
“We take difficult challengers and we beat them. So, they give us Canelo Alvarez, a hard -mocker of an IQ of the same caliber and a legend. These are the only challenges that Crawford looked for, and it was right. We have deserved this challenge of being on the big stage in a mega-combat in a super fight in what we call a David battle against Goliath.
“Once again, we have many drawbacks in this fight with regard to weight, with regard to power, and many things with equality with regard to achievements and skills. We will climb this mountain. It’s on, baby. September 13, look forward to. Crawford against Canelo. As I said, Crawford against Canelo. Yeah, it’s confirmed. Crawford against Canelo, not the opposite.
“The Crawford team rises. Book for book, the best in the world. Soon the world’s average weight world champion, “said Bernie.
