DAZN Commentator Chris Mannix has been added to HIS Wyry Frame Will Slow Him Down Like a Ship’s Anchor Against His Title Champion Canele Alvarez on September 13th.
A Year of Bulking Up
Crawford (41-0, 31 kos) has had a year to add Weight and Train Just for This Fight Agarez (63-2-2, 39 Kos) on Netflix at The Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Bulking Up to the Mid-180s WITHOUT testing out on the Weight at the Fight At Super Middleweight Isting Crawford In A Challenging Situation.
“One of the Questions I Have Thing Fighting Is When You Get To Round Six And Beyond. Is the Extra Carrying Around? Is Height Durable? Is He Still Fresh in the Second Half of the Fight?” Said Commentator Chris Mannix DAZN BoxingQuestioning Whether The Weight That Terence Crawford Has Packed on The Last Year Will Slow Him Down Like Anchor for His Title Challenge Against Canelo Alvarez.
Extra Weight, Less Speed
Carrying that extra Weight Will Make Crawford slower. He’s Not Going To Be Faster Carrying Around an extra 20+ lbs. As Mannix Points, The Muscle That Crawd High Slow Him, Making Him Vulnerable to Getting Hit by Canelo, Who Is Accustomed to Fighting In This Division. Getting hit by Canelo Could Be An Uncomfortable Experience for Crawford.
Even if Alvarez Does Not Knock Him Out, He Could Have Problems Winning Rounds. The Judges Will Focus on The Fighter Who Is Landing The Harder, Cleaner Shots, and That Would Be Canele. Crawford didn’t show an incease in Power in His Move Up to 154 Against Israil Madromov on August 3, 2024.
Canelo’s 12-round stamina
“We know Canelo Can Go 12 rounds and be Great Over 12 rounds. He’s Done It Time and Time Again,” Said Mannix. “We Know Crawford Can Go To Heavy. He’s Going To Be We Are Going To Be That Is Going To Be Quick, Is Going To Be Elite In The Second Half Of The Fight.”
The Close Madrimov Victory
Crawford looked in His Last Fight, Moving Up From 147 to 154 to 154 to Take WBA Junior Madrimov 3, 2024. Terence door trail to winning 12-round Unanimous Decision That he could have had the IF Madrimov Had Been More Aggressive in the Championship Rounds.
It wasn’t The Kind Of Performance That Indicated That Crawford Would Be A Lock To Defeat The Other Top 154-Pounders. He looked His Age in That Fight, and His Power Was Not The Same.
“I Thought It Was a Very Close Fight. I Thought Madrimov Won The Fight, Personally. I Thought He Landed The Cleaner Shots and Controlled The Pace, “Said Promoter Eddie Hearn.
“There’s No Doubt That You’re Looking Like Like HE’s Shape’s Spectacular. He’s Put On The Weight In The Weight Way. And this is a Guy Having a Couple Of Months to 168 pounds. He’s Been Preparing for this Movement for The Better Part of a year. He knew it was Canelo Alvarez or bust, “Said Mannix.
Crawford has taken An Entire Year to Train for Ther Fight Against Alvarez. Bud’s Last Fight Was on May 3, 2024, Against Israil Madrimov, and he knew then that Canelo Was Next. So, Instead of Returning To The Ring for Fights, He Chose to Use The Last 12 months to Bulk Up Slowly.
Still, putting on a lot of weight to Fight in the 168-LB Weight Class Without Experience After an Ideal for Inactivity is Not Ideal for Crawford. He has chosen to Jump in All atce, Rather Than Taking The Gradual Route That That Fighters Have.

- 115-113 For Leonard
- Leonard for 118-110
- Hagler for 115-113
