This week, WBO super lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez talked about the famous Terrence Crawford. Last week, Crawford won his fourth career World Title by beating WBA Super Welterweight Champion Israel Madramoff on points in a hard-fought contest.
Lopez has called out Crawford in the past, so this review has attracted attention from the outside world. Lopez said the 36-year-old Crawford is already showing signs of decline, looking slow and being hit multiple times in his clash with Madrid, a rare occurrence in the past.
Crawford did struggle against Madrid Move, and the technical statistics and the final score spoke for themselves. According to the media, there are signs that Crawford's sporting career is "running out", and it seems that he is getting closer and closer to retirement, and if he continues to fight, it may become more and more disadvantageous, because the referee cannot be expected to help you every time.
Crawford's fans insist that the reason for the poor performance of the challenge is that he has been away from the field for too long and is in a rusty state. The second is deliberate, which may be tactical or to create a false impression for Carneiro Alvarez in order to gain a chance at a big fight. The reason for this is laughable, because the reality is that it is clear how Crawford is doing.
In any case, Crawford won the victory, and while he made a breakthrough, he also qualified to continue the big fight, and it was up to Alvarez to give Crawford a chance.
Crawford admits that as long as Alvarez's offer is reasonable, he will do whatever it takes to get it. Crawford's thoughts are understandable, as at this stage of his career, making money is a more realistic issue, and if he chooses the young and vigorous Jason Ennis, then there is a high probability that he will lose the game without making any money.
Lopez said: "Age is catching up with Crawford, let's see what he does next? I don't think he should play Alvarez. ”
Lopez is right, age is catching up with Crawford, and if he can't get the chance to get a big fight against Alvarez, then he should focus on better pay, because you can't be invincible forever, especially against younger, tougher opponents.
Now, Crawford can only hope that Alvarez will give him a chance, who will face Edgar Berlanga in September, and I wonder if Alvarez has decided to choose the other side through the clash between Crawford and Madrid Movri? It's better to choose, and if there is no choice, Crawford must think about who the next opponent will be!
