Teofimo Lopez quickly spoke to some boxing media about this weekend’s big super middleweight title fight between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford. Lopez says he believes there will be pressure on both fighters to perform in this outing and why he thinks the man with the stronger will ultimately takes the win.
“Both guys are under a lot of pressure. You’ve got the Mexicans, you got Mexican Independence Day, Mexican Independence weekend, you got Canelo Alvarez — this is the time when he fights, September
is his, no one else’s — and then Crawford going up two, possibly three weight classes to face Canelo Alvarez, the undisputed super middleweight world champion. Man, it’s all about who wants it more and who wants to finish the cream of the crop, the best of this era.
“This is not going to be like Mayweather vs Canelo because there’s only one Mayweather. And Crawford don’t fight like Mayweather…may the best man win, though.”
Canelo will defend his undisputed super middleweight throne this Saturday on DAZN while Crawford looks to make history by going undisputed in a third weight class. BLH will have full live coverage of the event.
