The Promoter\u2019s Grand Plan<\/p>\n
Turki Alashikh wants to impress the Netflix viewers and, obviously, the top people within that company with the Canelo-Crawford fight. He wouldn\u2019t be doing that if Crawford fails to do his part of making it an action-packed fight by standing and exchanging with Alvarez. If he moves and makes it boring, as Frampton predicted, it\u2019s going to be a nightmare for Turki.<\/p>\n
I can just see him in the front row of the audience, his blood pressure boiling, and him inwardly regretting his decision to use Crawford as Canelo\u2019s opponent for this fight.<\/p>\n
At last Thursday\u2019s Canelo-Crawford press conference, Turki said, \u201cI want to see blood, smashed faces, and broken bones.\u201d<\/p>\n
Frampton\u2019s comments about Crawford needing to make it a \u201cboring fight\u201d won\u2019t exactly be music to Turki\u2019s ears. He chose him for this fight and paid him what is said to be $50 million to challenge Canelo in \u201cThe Fight of the Century.\u201d<\/p>\n
Crawford Trading Blows is \u201cSilly\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we may see a fight that closes on a close points decision for Crawford. I think a lot of people are saying Crawford now as well. I think it would be a dangerous move,\u201d said Frampton when asked if Crawford should stand and trade with Canelo. \u201cI think it would be silly to trade with Canelo. Try not to let him set his feet.\u201d<\/p>\n
It would be bad for Crawford not to trade with Canelo because it is the wrong event for him to turn in a Jerry-like performance by choosing to box and move all night. He got away with that style back when he fought Viktor Postol and others in the past, but he wasn\u2019t in mega-fights like he is now.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s more expected of Terence, as the whole world will be watching. Moreover, Turki is the one who chose Crawford over more exciting to watch fighters, like these:<\/p>\n
