Golden Boy promoter Oscar De La Hoya just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to gloat over the loss of Canelo Alvarez to Terence Crawford, so took to social media with the biggest of smiles to celebrate the occasion. De La Hoya would sound off on Canelo for losing the fight while suggesting most of his career was simply a mirage he helped orchestrate.
“God, it makes me horny to tell you ‘I told you so,’ De La Hoya began. ”I predicted the Canelo vs Crawford fight like a goddamn fortune teller. Canelo’s
feet were cemented on the canvas as he was hitting air, what the f-ck was that? Props to Crawford, he came up three weight classes and fought a beautiful fight, what a great performance. Like taking candy from a baby, he just played with Canelo, made him look silly.
“And before you start with your bullsh-t about Canelo being old, just know that Crawford is older. That is not an excuse here. Look, I promoted Canelo’s entire career and it was a huge fluff. The only real fighters he faced was Mayweather, Bivol, and Crawford and they all toyed with him. Even Mayweather knew Crawford was going to school him. He put $50K on Crawford to win and as far as the undercard…I feel bad for Turki wasting all that money.
“You have to fire your matchmakers, Turki. It was the biggest fight of the decade and your matchmakers, not you, your matchmakers put on that undercard? You paid all that money and had the biggest stage in boxing on Netflix and that was really the best you could do?! If I was matchmaking I would have put Sheeraz vs Benavidez as a co-main event with the winner fighting the winner of Canelo vs Crawford next. That’s how you promote…”
