Trainer Abel Sanchez says he views the Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford clash as a “ridiculous fight” because Bud is “too small” to win when they meet in September. Sanchez thinks Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) will be competitive in the early rounds, but then turn into a “sparring session with Canelo punching holes in the aging Nebraska native. Canelo’s size and power will overwhelm Crawford, and the match will turn into a rout. Terence has everything going against him in this fight: Old Small Inactive No experience at 168 Greed I don’t see why Turki doesn’t force Crawford to walk across a bed of hot coals barefoot to earn the Canelo fight by fighting David Benavidez, David Morrell, and Osleys Iglesias. Is it asking too much for Terence to suffer a little to get that mega-payday? “It’s a ridiculous fight. I think Crawford is too small. Canelo, in my opinion, is the face of boxing right now,” said trainer Abel Sanchez to Fight Hub TV when asked about his thoughts on Terence Crawford going up from 154 to 168 to challenge WBA, WBC, and WBO super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez for his titles on September 13th. Many fans view the Canelo-Crawford fight as a circus-level one with the focus being junk-food entertainment for fans with nothing lasting about it. Crawford isn’t going to stay at 168. He’s either going to retire with the loot that he gets for the fight or return to 154 and target someone beatable like Sebastian Fundora or a rematch with Errol Spence. THE BROOK COMPARISON
