Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, so we're back on away concept presented to
buy the Ring magazine and folks, sometimes they say a
picture is worth a thousand words.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Well, I may have a few more than.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
That today because Parents Crawford just dropped a body transformation
that's making me question everything I thought about this fight
between him and Canelo Alfarez next Saturday live in Las Vegas.
I'm gonna be doing a ton of stuff, including I
think in two day appearance at.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Radio Row in Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
I'm gonna be calling some fights on the Underdog series
in Las Vegas. I don't know about a live stream yet.
If we're gonna be able to do that, I would
like to hear on the channel, but I don't. I
genuinely am still trying to figure it out. So I'll
let you guys know what I do. But regardless of
what I'm doing on fight and I know, everything.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
We'll all be doing is watching.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
This is storing matchup between Bud Crawford and Canelo, and
Bud Crawford's not playing around. We've all been talking about
what's he gonna look like coming up to one sixty eight,
and this new picture he just dropped shows that he
might be a little bit more danger and a lot
more of a problem than I thought for Canelo.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
What do I mean the breakdown? Let's go all right?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
So first things first, let me say this. I know
that muscles don't win fights, and everybody, it seems like
that says muscles don't win fights usually have ridiculous muscle
mass like Devin. Hanny was like, muscles don't win, and
Devin's like way bigger than everybody else at.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
One hundred and thirty five pounds and jack to the gills.
That's that snack shit.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Okay, we're not doing that, but Terrece Crawford also on
that snack shit. Anyway, Bud Crawford did just drop a
body transformation pick. Let's take a look at it.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Boom Sun, I'm sorry, I have a flat tire. Does
anyone have a jack to help me out? Oh?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Thank you, Bud Crawford. You're actually huge. The man has
abs on his abs on his abs. I'm not trying
to glaze, but that doesn't look like one hundred and
forty seven pounder. It doesn't look like a one hundred
and fifty four pounder. That looks like a grown man.
He's definitely put some weight on coming to one hundred
and sixty eight pound and I can tell you that
now take what I'm about to show you with a
grain of salt because it is on weigh in. But
(02:00):
look at what he was at at one hundred and
forty pounds. Now again, he's at a camp, hasn't made
the weight cut yet, but that's him right now. But
I mean, that is crazy couple of things. Yes, muscles
don't win you fights. And the biggest question we have
to ask now is how will this newfound muscle mass
affect Bud Crawford in the fight. Because one of the
(02:20):
things I have said continuously about this fight is that
the weight issue has been completely overblown by people. And
what I mean is there is not a massive weight
disparity between these two fighters. What Canelo walks around at
and what Terrence Crawford walks around at is probably similar,
And maybe Terrence Crawford even weighs a little more.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I don't know. I saw the picture of the scale
of him at one eighty six. It may be a.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Little less when he's normally not trying to gain weight,
but that's not the point of the weight difference. The
point of saying there is a weight difference is that
Canelo Alvarez has consistently fought and been successful at one
hundred and sixty to one sixty eight to even one
hundred and seventy five outside of the Bivol fight. Canello
has had success at all those weight divisions and is
familiar at those weight divisions. He is familiar not only
(03:07):
with his opponents their size and being able to handle
fighting a bigger guy almost continuously throughout the last part
of his career, but also his own strengths and weaknesses
at those weights, and at one sixty eight to be specific,
because that's where this fight's gonna be. He knows how
to manage a fight there. He knows how to keep
that weight on. He knows how to perform at that
weight class and still be powerful and retain speed. This
(03:30):
is not me saying Terrence Crawford can't do that. The
question just has to be asked, how does he prepare
with this newfound weight, with this newfound physique. It's not
like he put the weight on incorrectly. He still looks shredded.
The man lives in Omaha, and he's making me jealous
because I don't even know if he has.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
To register those two guns.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
California were too lived up out here, so it does
look like Crawford and his team. I don't know if
it's a nutritionus he's working with some Victor Conte issued supplements.
Regardless of what it is, Terrence has taken this seriously.
If you're a Canelo fan, you better look at this
and say, oh, he didn't just put on some weight
that he's gonna have to carry around and lug around.
He didn't just eat a bunch of burgers and ice
(04:08):
cream and French fries and other stuff like that that
was gonna help him put on the weight, but not
do so efficiently. It looks like a tailor made program
for him to keep his speed and potentially stay as
light as possible, as lean as possible like we're seeing here,
and start to build his power. One of the biggest
questions that I've had, I think that a lot of
people have had, is can Terence Crawford gained the respect
(04:30):
of Canelo as far as his punching power is concerned.
Can he back Canelo up? Can he stop Canelo from
coming forward? Can he make Canelo reset action or get
out of the pocket even when those exchanges do eventually come,
and they will. This is not like Canelo fighting super
jacked up William Skull, who used those muscles for nothing
but show there was no go. He looked like SpongeBob
(04:52):
when he got the anchor arms. This is Karrence Crawford
looking to CounterPunch in the pocket, looking to snipe you.
As soon as you miss, he's gonna make you pay
with one, two, three, four punches and now, looking as
brolic as he does, those two or three punches behind
that jab are gonna be devastating. He went from Bud
Crawford to stud Crawford, and now he's gonna be looking
(05:12):
to land that check right hand over the top and
then bang the left hand behind it, and there's gonna
be some heat on those shots. It's gonna be powerful,
and that's what I want to see out of Terrence Crawford.
This is what when I look at this picture and
why I say a picture could be worth a thousand words,
It does make me rethink a little bit about the
power that Terrence can bring into this fight, because no
one has even so much as wobbled Canelo in his career.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
For Terrence to do.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
It would be an insurmountable feat. It would be insane,
it would be historic, it would be legacy making, not
just to get the win, but if he actually hurt Canel.
And mind you, Terrence Crawford did all this while he's
older than Canelo as well, so he is having to
fight age and come up and wait. We've talked about
all the sacrifices he's making just to have this fight happen.
The wait, the size, the no rehydrate, all of it.
(05:56):
But he's doing it the right way. And this is
what if if you are a Canelo fan and you
start to wonder, Okay, well if Canelo who in my opinion,
his biggest path to victory is hurting Terrence Crawford and
shutting down some of that counterpunching by hit him with
big shots and being a devastating puncher behind his feet
and behind his jab. He has to lead the action.
I think Canelo has to be on the front foot
as well. If that's not the case and he can't
(06:18):
back Terrence Crawford up, then we get into a boxing
contest in the fifty to fifties at range. I think
Terrence Crawford may have an advantage there, right He's not
gonna throw just one punch at a time. He's not
gonna look to just pot shot with Canelo. When Canello
throws those big sweeping hooks, or he throws one shot
at a time, or he double jabs and then right
hand stand there, look for something else. Crawford is going
to be looking to throw combinations. And you know, we
(06:39):
talk about the angle changes and.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
We'll see again.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
We will see if he can still move like that
as he comes up in wait, because we do have
weight classes for a reason, and Terrence moving to one
sixty eight, this is probably the perfect person for him
to fight at one sixty eight because Canelo is not
a big dude there. But it's more like I said
about the weight that Terrence care and how he carries
into this fire. Cause he may be explosive, he may
be fast. He may be again lying on his feet
(07:04):
for the first six to seven rounds, and that may
be enough for him to get a lead and win
a decision. But what happens if we see a Canelo
versus Billy Joe Saunders.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Esque type of performance.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Go back to that Billy Joe fight and how Billy
Joe was catching Canelo with left hands over the top.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
He was countering him. He was dancing on Canelo a
little bit, but little by little he.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Started to slow down, his hands started to fall by
his hips, and Canelo walked him down and eventually broke
his freaking eyebone or orbital socket or whatever it was
and won that fight. I'm not saying that Billy Joe
is Terrence Crawford Zoe wh I don't want to hear
people in the comic session going.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I can't believe you called the Terrence Crawford and a
belly Joe Sanders. How could you? And they're not even
the same caliber of generational That's not what I said,
and it's not what I meant.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
All I'm saying is if you aren't able to keep
that pace, if you aren't able to withstand that level
of activity and keeping Canelo at bay, eventually that tidal
wave starts to be too much, Terrence may be able
to do that. He's different than all the other guys.
Canelo has fought at one hundred and sixty eight pounds.
I can guarantee you that as far as his mentality,
(08:06):
as far as his work ethic, as far as his skills,
as far as his experience, Terren's better than all of
them white blank periods, So it will be a new
test for Canelo as well.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
But I will admit, as much as I think.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Canelo's gonna win this fight, this picture in a vacuum,
it's not just about all the muscles and chiseled and
everything else from Terrence Crawford. It shows me how serious
he took putting on the way, which in turn shows
me how serious he is taking this fight, which should
lead me and you to believe that he won't leave
any stone unturned here. If he does happen to lose,
(08:36):
it will just be because Canelo was better on the night.
But it won't be because Terrence Crawford didn't put everything
into his preparation for this fight. It won't be because
Terrence Crawford slacked off, or didn't bring his a game,
or didn't prepare the right way, or wasn't at his best.
And I want to say that for a couple of reasons,
we are going to give Terrence Crawford all the credit
in the world should he beat Canil Alvarez, because he
(08:57):
deserves that. Coming up the two three really, in my opinion,
weight classes, putting on the weight, no rehydration, all the
things we've talked about. But if we get the best
version of Terrence Crawford, which is what it looks like,
we are getting a guy that's not cutting weight, that
has been in the weight room, that has put on
the muscle, is looking to land big power in this fight, clearly.
I mean, you don't put on those muscles to be
a finesse fighter at sixty eight. You put on those
(09:19):
muscles to take power and to give it back. Then
if Canelo is to win this, then I think the
credit for him also goes.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Though. As much as it is a legacy.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Making fight for Terrence Crawford, it would add to the
legacy of Canelo Alvarez for sure, because I don't see
a reason we don't get an A plus Terrence Crawford here.
I don't see him slacking off. I don't see him
taking this lightly. I don't see him cutting any corners.
It looks like the work has been put in to
the highest degree, and that should scare Canelo fans just
a little bit. You don't have to be convinced that
(09:49):
Terror Twofford is gonna win, but you better be ready
for the fact that Canelo's fighting a guy that wasn't
as small as you thought. Better be ready for the
fact that Terrence Crawford may take that power from Canelo.
He may be able to for twelve rounds.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
I don't no.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
He may be able to throw some power back and
get Canelo to slow down or become more stagnant like
we've seen some guys be able to do to Canelo.
Combination punching in the phone boot, make miss, make you pay.
I mean, Terrence Crawford is gonna trigger as soon as
Canelo throws a right hand or a left hook. There's
gonna be something coming over the top if Terrence sees
it and gets out of the way. That's how he
likes to fight again. The questions that we won't get
(10:22):
the answers to until fight night, or just simply can
he sustain that at one sixty eight? Who the punches
have as much effect on Canelo Alvarez to stop Canelo
from marching forward, from putting big time power on a
guy that's not used to the weight class and is
fighting at a completely different physique, And ultimately, what will
be the difference maker, what will be the thing that
decides who wins this fight. Will it be something we
(10:44):
didn't anticipate, like Terrence Crawford rocking Canelo with some big
punches and putting him on the back foot and potentially
even stopping Canelo.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I don't foresee that.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Would it be Canelo going back to one hundred and
sixty pound Canelo and using his feet and his jab
and his head movement and his defense all put together
to be a clean boxing decision.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I don't know. I don't expect that. I expect both
guys to do what they're best at.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Canelo coming forward throwing power punches, looking for finishes, latent fights,
Terrence Crawford looking for counter shots in the pocket with
little sweet science boxing technique, head movements to get off center,
fireback with combinations, get off center, fireback with combinations, angles, angles, angles,
everything that Terrence does and everything that Canelo does. Terrence
(11:26):
tries to counter, and every time Crawford stays in the
pocket to counter Canelo, Canelo hits him with even harder
power punches. But this picture, this picture tells me that
we got a fifty to fifty fight on our hands,
ladies and gentlemen. That as much as I want to
talk about how the weight classes are different. The go
to line of boxing is that weight classes.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Are there for a reason.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Darrence Crawford may have the exact same thing Canelo had,
which is a skill and ability of talent so good
that he can defy the odds of the weight class.
Manny Pacquiao did it, Lloyd Mayweather did it, Canelo Alvarez
has done it, Boyd Jones did it, and Terrence Crawford
do it. And can he do it against one of
the greatest of all time. But I keep hearing this
the same thing from every every outlet, every fighter that's
either trained with or fought against Terrence Crawford. They keep
(12:07):
saying the same thing. And when I saw this picture today,
I started to believe it. I'm not wavering on my
fight choice. I'm still sticking with Canelo, but all those
fighters said the same thing. And I don't know if
there's like a group message on WhatsApp that they're all
talking in, but if there isn't, then it should tell
you how true this is about Terrence Crawford. They all
said weight classes are in boxing for a reason, and
a good big guy usually always beats a good little guy.
(12:29):
But in this fight, there is no small guys, and
if anyone can do it, Terrence Crawford can.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
As you see this.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Video, we are officially one week away from Canelo Alvarez
and Bud Crawford and this transformation should tell you more
than my words ever could. Terrence Crawford will absolutely be
ready for Canelo Alvarez. At one hundred and sixty eight pounds,
transformed himself and the things we looked at as weaknesses
may actually be strength. So comment section, let me know
down below. If you're a Canelo fan, does this concern you?
(12:56):
If you're a Bud fan, are you starting to get
more confident in your pick right now? Honestly, I'm a
little confused. That shocked me seeing that picture, seeing how
big he has gotten, because I think it's a good thing.
But I do wonder how it'll affect him in the
later fights. I wonder how that muscle mass may and
potentially can slow him down if he's not used to
hold them. But listen, I still don't know what happens
(13:17):
in this fight. I truly don't have the answer. So
one week from now, in the middle of Las Vegas
Allegian Stadium, Canelo Alvarez, Terrence Crawford, who wins.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
I guess we'll find out
All right, so we're back on away concept presented to
buy the Ring magazine and folks, sometimes they say a
picture is worth a thousand words.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Well, I may have a few more than.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
That today because Parents Crawford just dropped a body transformation
that's making me question everything I thought about this fight
between him and Canelo Alfarez next Saturday live in Las Vegas.

This is storing matchup between Bud Crawford and Canelo, and

that muscles don't win fights, and everybody, it seems like
that says muscles don't win fights usually have ridiculous muscle
mass like Devin. Hanny was like, muscles don't win, and
Devin's like way bigger than everybody else at.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
One hundred and thirty five pounds and jack to the gills.
That's that snack shit.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Okay, we're not doing that, but Terrece Crawford also on
that snack shit. Anyway, Bud Crawford did just drop a
body transformation pick. Let's take a look at it.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Boom Sun, I'm sorry, I have a flat tire. Does
anyone have a jack to help me out? Oh?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Thank you, Bud Crawford. You're actually huge. The man has
abs on his abs on his abs. I'm not trying
to glaze, but that doesn't look like one hundred and
forty seven pounder. It doesn't look like a one hundred
and fifty four pounder. That looks like a grown man.
He's definitely put some weight on coming to one hundred
and sixty eight pound and I can tell you that
now take what I'm about to show you with a

(02:00):
look at what he was at at one hundred and
forty pounds. Now again, he's at a camp, hasn't made

I mean, that is crazy couple of things. Yes, muscles
don't win you fights. And the biggest question we have

what I mean is there is not a massive weight

And maybe Terrence Crawford even weighs a little more.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I don't know. I saw the picture of the scale

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Little less when he's normally not trying to gain weight,
but that's not the point of the weight difference. The
point of saying there is a weight difference is that
Canelo Alvarez has consistently fought and been successful at one
hundred and sixty to one sixty eight to even one
hundred and seventy five outside of the Bivol fight. Canello
has had success at all those weight divisions and is
familiar at those weight divisions. He is familiar not only
(03:07):
with his opponents their size and being able to handle

(03:30):
is not me saying Terrence Crawford can't do that. The
question just has to be asked, how does he prepare
with this newfound weight, with this newfound physique. It's not
like he put the weight on incorrectly. He still looks shredded.
The man lives in Omaha, and he's making me jealous
because I don't even know if he has.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
To register those two guns.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
California were too lived up out here, so it does

it's a nutritionus he's working with some Victor Conte issued supplements.
Regardless of what it is, Terrence has taken this seriously.
If you're a Canelo fan, you better look at this

jacked up William Skull, who used those muscles for nothing

looking to CounterPunch in the pocket, looking to snipe you.
As soon as you miss, he's gonna make you pay

And mind you, Terrence Crawford did all this while he's

to be looking to throw combinations. And you know, we
(06:39):
talk about the angle changes and.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
We'll see again.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
We will see if he can still move like that
as he comes up in wait, because we do have
weight classes for a reason, and Terrence moving to one
sixty eight, this is probably the perfect person for him
to fight at one sixty eight because Canelo is not
a big dude there. But it's more like I said
about the weight that Terrence care and how he carries
into this fire. Cause he may be explosive, he may
be fast. He may be again lying on his feet
(07:04):
for the first six to seven rounds, and that may
be enough for him to get a lead and win
a decision. But what happens if we see a Canelo
versus Billy Joe Saunders.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Esque type of performance.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Go back to that Billy Joe fight and how Billy
Joe was catching Canelo with left hands over the top.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
He was countering him. He was dancing on Canelo a
little bit, but little by little he.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Started to slow down, his hands started to fall by
his hips, and Canelo walked him down and eventually broke
his freaking eyebone or orbital socket or whatever it was
and won that fight. I'm not saying that Billy Joe
is Terrence Crawford Zoe wh I don't want to hear
people in the comic session going.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I can't believe you called the Terrence Crawford and a
belly Joe Sanders. How could you? And they're not even
the same caliber of generational That's not what I said,
and it's not what I meant.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
All I'm saying is if you aren't able to keep
that pace, if you aren't able to withstand that level
of activity and keeping Canelo at bay, eventually that tidal
wave starts to be too much, Terrence may be able
to do that. He's different than all the other guys.
Canelo has fought at one hundred and sixty eight pounds.
I can guarantee you that as far as his mentality,
(08:06):
as far as his work ethic, as far as his skills,
as far as his experience, Terren's better than all of
them white blank periods, So it will be a new
test for Canelo as well.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
But I will admit, as much as I think.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Canelo's gonna win this fight, this picture in a vacuum,
it's not just about all the muscles and chiseled and
everything else from Terrence Crawford. It shows me how serious
he took putting on the way, which in turn shows
me how serious he is taking this fight, which should
lead me and you to believe that he won't leave
any stone unturned here. If he does happen to lose,
(08:36):
it will just be because Canelo was better on the night.
But it won't be because Terrence Crawford didn't put everything
into his preparation for this fight. It won't be because
Terrence Crawford slacked off, or didn't bring his a game,
or didn't prepare the right way, or wasn't at his best.
And I want to say that for a couple of reasons,
we are going to give Terrence Crawford all the credit
in the world should he beat Canil Alvarez, because he
(08:57):
deserves that. Coming up the two three really, in my opinion,
weight classes, putting on the weight, no rehydration, all the
things we've talked about. But if we get the best
version of Terrence Crawford, which is what it looks like,
we are getting a guy that's not cutting weight, that
has been in the weight room, that has put on
the muscle, is looking to land big power in this fight, clearly.
I mean, you don't put on those muscles to be
a finesse fighter at sixty eight. You put on those
(09:19):
muscles to take power and to give it back. Then
if Canelo is to win this, then I think the
credit for him also goes.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Though. As much as it is a legacy.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Making fight for Terrence Crawford, it would add to the
legacy of Canelo Alvarez for sure, because I don't see
a reason we don't get an A plus Terrence Crawford here.
I don't see him slacking off. I don't see him
taking this lightly. I don't see him cutting any corners.
It looks like the work has been put in to
the highest degree, and that should scare Canelo fans just
a little bit. You don't have to be convinced that
(09:49):
Terror Twofford is gonna win, but you better be ready
for the fact that Canelo's fighting a guy that wasn't
as small as you thought. Better be ready for the
fact that Terrence Crawford may take that power from Canelo.
He may be able to for twelve rounds.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
I don't no.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
He may be able to throw some power back and
get Canelo to slow down or become more stagnant like
we've seen some guys be able to do to Canelo.
Combination punching in the phone boot, make miss, make you pay.
I mean, Terrence Crawford is gonna trigger as soon as
Canelo throws a right hand or a left hook. There's
gonna be something coming over the top if Terrence sees
it and gets out of the way. That's how he
likes to fight again. The questions that we won't get
(10:22):
the answers to until fight night, or just simply can
he sustain that at one sixty eight? Who the punches
have as much effect on Canelo Alvarez to stop Canelo
from marching forward, from putting big time power on a
guy that's not used to the weight class and is
fighting at a completely different physique, And ultimately, what will
be the difference maker, what will be the thing that
decides who wins this fight. Will it be something we
(10:44):
didn't anticipate, like Terrence Crawford rocking Canelo with some big
punches and putting him on the back foot and potentially
even stopping Canelo.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I don't foresee that.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Would it be Canelo going back to one hundred and
sixty pound Canelo and using his feet and his jab
and his head movement and his defense all put together
to be a clean boxing decision.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I don't know. I don't expect that. I expect both
guys to do what they're best at.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Canelo coming forward throwing power punches, looking for finishes, latent fights,
Terrence Crawford looking for counter shots in the pocket with
little sweet science boxing technique, head movements to get off center,
fireback with combinations, get off center, fireback with combinations, angles, angles, angles,
everything that Terrence does and everything that Canelo does. Terrence
(11:26):
tries to counter, and every time Crawford stays in the
pocket to counter Canelo, Canelo hits him with even harder
power punches. But this picture, this picture tells me that
we got a fifty to fifty fight on our hands,
ladies and gentlemen. That as much as I want to
talk about how the weight classes are different. The go
to line of boxing is that weight classes.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Are there for a reason.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Darrence Crawford may have the exact same thing Canelo had,
which is a skill and ability of talent so good
that he can defy the odds of the weight class.
Manny Pacquiao did it, Lloyd Mayweather did it, Canelo Alvarez
has done it, Boyd Jones did it, and Terrence Crawford
do it. And can he do it against one of
the greatest of all time. But I keep hearing this
the same thing from every every outlet, every fighter that's
either trained with or fought against Terrence Crawford. They keep
(12:07):
saying the same thing. And when I saw this picture today,
I started to believe it. I'm not wavering on my
fight choice. I'm still sticking with Canelo, but all those
fighters said the same thing. And I don't know if
there's like a group message on WhatsApp that they're all
talking in, but if there isn't, then it should tell
you how true this is about Terrence Crawford. They all
said weight classes are in boxing for a reason, and
a good big guy usually always beats a good little guy.
(12:29):
But in this fight, there is no small guys, and
if anyone can do it, Terrence Crawford can.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
As you see this.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Video, we are officially one week away from Canelo Alvarez
and Bud Crawford and this transformation should tell you more
than my words ever could. Terrence Crawford will absolutely be
ready for Canelo Alvarez. At one hundred and sixty eight pounds,
transformed himself and the things we looked at as weaknesses
may actually be strength. So comment section, let me know
down below. If you're a Canelo fan, does this concern you?
(12:56):
If you're a Bud fan, are you starting to get
more confident in your pick right now? Honestly, I'm a
little confused. That shocked me seeing that picture, seeing how
big he has gotten, because I think it's a good thing.
But I do wonder how it'll affect him in the
later fights. I wonder how that muscle mass may and
potentially can slow him down if he's not used to
hold them. But listen, I still don't know what happens
(13:17):
in this fight. I truly don't have the answer. So
one week from now, in the middle of Las Vegas
Allegian Stadium, Canelo Alvarez, Terrence Crawford, who wins.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
I guess we'll find out
