Terence Crawford is preparing for a fight with Canelo Alvarez

  • Manny Pacquiao is aiming for a fight with Rolando Romero to set a record.
  • Terence Crawford is planning a strategy for the fight with Canelo Alvarez.
  • Successful examples of boxers who have risen in weight can inspire Crawford.

This is reported by ESPN, Marca.

The year 2025 is set to be significant for boxing due to several landmark events. In July, a historic women's boxing event took place at the Madison Square Garden arena, as well as a fight between Manny Pacquiao and Mario Barrios, which ended in a super exciting draw. Pacquiao, at 46 years old, aims to return to the ring, possibly against Rolando "Rolly" Romero, to set the record as the oldest champion in the super welterweight division.

Currently, attention is focused on the fight between Terence Crawford and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, which will take place on September 13 in Las Vegas. Crawford, who previously became champion in two weight categories, plans to step up to two weights, which is a challenging task. In this context, an important strategy is which one he chooses to achieve success.

According to experts, Crawford needs to avoid exchanges with Alvarez and instead focus on utilizing his speed and technique. In boxing history, there have been cases where boxers who have risen in weight achieved success due to mobility and precision, as was the case in fights with Sugar Ray Leonard and Manny Pacquiao.

There is also a possibility that Crawford may face difficulties due to the difference in weight, especially since he may be 20 pounds lighter than Alvarez after hydration. However, his team believes that with the right strategy, Crawford can prevail.
