The Crawford Terrence output of 154 kilograms: WBO president confirms a temporary empty belt, Canelo search

President WBO, Gustavo Olivieri, Esq. He discovered that Terrence Crawford “would not return to 154” and that he would throw out his temporary belt with that organization.

This is a move that expected Crawford (41-0, 31 ko) because it makes a lot of money, causing Canelo Alvarez for its titles in Super Middleweight 13th September.

Crawford’s output

After that day, Crawford, 38, would take a huge reduction in a salary to return to 154 to fight the current champion, Sebastian Flonir, in a match that would include a great risk of him due to a lack of size and advanced age.

Return to 154 to the fight against younger fighters of size and ability would be difficult for Crawford, which is fighting only once a year. When he returns after his circle of victory or knocks down Alvarez’s fight, he will be 39 years old, and you cannot expect to fight 6’5 1/2 ″ Stork Fundare.

It is unclear what Crawford will do after his fight with Canel. Obviously, counting the defeat of Canela and obtaining a lucrative rematch. That would be an ideal situation for a native of Nebraska Crawford. However, if he loses to Canel, it will be interesting to see if he will decide to stay in 168, return to 154 or retire.

He can still make a huge struggle at the events of the season in Riyadh if they want to use it for fighting. They seem to love Crawford. So, it should still be useful if it matches carefully. You cannot reconcile with Crawford with any major fighters such as David Benavidez or David Morrel because he would remember because of their size, power and youth, but he would do well against someone like Edgar Berlang.

Olivieri recommends that the competitor #1 WBO 154 LB Xander Zayas (21-0, 13 ko) become mandatory for champion Sebastian Flonura. If that happens, the winner of Saturday’s fight between WBC/WBO Flonura (21-1-1, 13 Kos) and Chordale Booker will have 120 days to defend against the highest Zayas promoted.

Top Rank protected 22-year-old Xander Zayas in the same way he protected Berlang when he was with them. So, it’s hard to know if it’s good or not. His opposition was so awful that there was no way to know if he was a hipe job like Berlang or has a real talent.

1. We have confirmed that Terence Crawford will not return to 154 pounds, departments and give up their temporary WBO title to the official announcement of Canelo/Crawford. Therefore, his mandatory status is the challenger. /
