Max Kellerman Puts Terence Crawford On The Spot About Israil Madrimov Fight & Skipping Middleweight for Canelo

Commentator Max Kellerman Put Tower Crawford On The Defense When The Name Of Israil Madrimov At HIS Press Conference for His Fight Against Canelo Alvarez in New York.

Kellerman Challenges Crawford’s Canelo Move

Kellerman Asked Crawford (41-0, 31 kos) The 160-LB Division to Go Straight Up to The Canelo Fight After The Tough Time Had in Had debut at 154 Against Madrimov Last August.

Crawford Made A Face at The Tough Fight Had With The Former WBA 154-LB Champion Madrimov, and Downplayed. The reality is, he was arguably beaten, but gotten by the Three judges, who gave him a win by the scores 115-113, 116-112, and 115-112, and 115-113.

The Performance by Crawford Showed That He’s Not Elite at 154, and Would Likely Lose A Madrimov. He Would Also Have Serious Problems With Many Fighters at 154, Like Vergil Ortiz, Sebastian Fundora, and Bakhram Murteriev, Just To Name A Few.

After that Effort From Crawford, it’s not Surprising It Skipped The 160-LB Division and Went Straight to 168 to the Canelo Fight. If He’d Moved Up to Middleweight, He Would Have Had To Fight the # 1 Guy in The Division, Janibek Alimkhanuly. He Wouldn’t do Well Against Him. Janibek is Another Level Than Madrimov Terms of Terms and Would Be A Small, Older Fighter Like Crawford.

Skipping Middleweight: Why Crawford?

Max Kellerman: “Why Are You Jumping Up and Skipping? Madrimov? “

Terence Crawford: “Listen, if y’all Think That was a Tough Fight, Woo.”

Kellerman: “Well, You’re Beating The Most Guys You’re Fight. Now, You’re Skipping Middleweight No Rehydration Like That to Fight That Weight That has been a Weight Class for a decade. Why do it this Way? “

Crawford: “Why Not?”

We know why crawford skipped middleweight and went straight to canelo. The Money. He’d Likely Lose to Janibek by Knockout, and The Payday Wouldn’t Be Anywhere Near The $ 50 Million He’s Getting To Fight Canele.
