His Excellency Turki Alalshikh launched the Terence Crawford vs. Israil Madrimov ‘Every thing or Nothing’ promo video forward of the August third battle in 22 days any longer ESPN+ PPV on the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles.
The promo has a theatrical, dramatic really feel, displaying how Crawford and Madrimov bought into boxing at a younger age.
Turki’s Confidence & Cryptic Surprises
Alalshikh is labeling it as “one of many hardest” fights in Crawford’s profession, and it’s definitely coming late within the recreation—he turns 37 in September. Turki says he’s “Assured Crawford will ship.” What if he doesn’t?
Alalshikh says he’s bought “surprises in retailer for Crawford.” Nonetheless, he doesn’t say the identical about Madrimov. If he assumes Terence has the victory within the bag already, and it’s only a forgone conclusion on August third, it might be absurd to speak about “surprises” for him. Sadly, there’s a great opportunity that Crawford will lose this battle towards Madrimov.
“One of many hardest challenges in Crawford’s profession,” mentioned Turki on X about Crawford taking over Madrimov. “I’m assured Crawford will ship a historic efficiency and shock the world. We now have some main surprises in retailer for Crawford that shall be revealed quickly.”
The shock is probably going the Canelo Alvarez battle that has been floated for Crawford. Followers have combined emotions about Crawford leapfrogging over contenders at 168 to be given a title shot towards Canelo with out competing within the division first.
The Ngannou Precedent: Does Profitable Matter?
If Crawford will get crushed by Madrimov, does he nonetheless get the “surprises” anyway from Turki? That might make it look even worse. Crawford would mainly lose his manner into the title shot towards Canelo slightly than win his manner.
It appears to be like unhealthy already that Crawford is getting an instantaneous title shot towards Madrimov at 154 with out combating within the weight class first, however followers are overlooking it as a result of it’s just one weight class. However for Crawford to go up two weight lessons from 154 to 168 to problem Canelo can be off-putting.
Francis Ngannou was nonetheless used as Anthony Joshua’s opponent regardless of dropping to Tyson Fury, and he made a bundle. If it doesn’t matter if Crawford loses on August third, that takes among the curiosity out of the battle.
What’s going to occur to Madrimov if he destroys Crawford on August third? That’s what I wish to know. There’s no upside for Madrimov with that golden payday towards Canelo?
