WBC/WBO junior middleweight champion Sebastian Fundora’s promoter, Sampson Lewkowicz, says he doesn’t count on to Terence Crawford to point out curiosity in taking the WBO-ordered struggle towards Fundora till after he exhausts his efforts of touchdown the cash struggle towards Canelo Alvarez.
The Mexican star Canelo didn’t rule out a struggle with Crawford taking place, however he would have to be well-paid to take action as a result of it’s a match he desires. Canelo positive aspects nothing legacy-wise from combating him.
Lewkowcicz advised Boxingscene that he thinks Crawford will wait till Canelo defends his unified tremendous middleweight titles towards Edgar Berlanga on September 14th earlier than deciding whether or not to look in Fundora’s course. He believes that Crawford simply desires the cash, not the legacy, and he’ll attempt to get the Canelo struggle.
Fundora’s Confidence In opposition to an Getting older Crawford
If the struggle towards Canelo doesn’t occur, then a match towards WBC and WBO 154-lb champion Fundora (21-1-1, 13 KOs) might occur. Lewkowicz is assured that the 6’6″ Fundora will beat the 37-year-old Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs), with how he seemed in his debut at 154 towards WBA champion Israil Madrimov on August third. He notes that Crawford barely received the struggle.
Fundora is a way more tough opponent than Madrimov, particularly on offense, and Crawford will get hit greater than he ever has in his profession. He won’t maintain up lengthy beneath the punishment.
It’s unclear if the Saudis might be fascinated about financing Crawford’s struggle towards Fundora, as his match towards Madrimov failed to usher in good numbers on PPV.
Crawford’s not standard sufficient to pour cash into him combating Fundora or anybody. He doesn’t have the attain with informal boxing followers except he’s combating a preferred fighter that may deliver within the followers like we noticed when Terence hitched a experience a couple of years in the past when he fought the star, Errol Spence.
