This is weird. Because what I am hearing is that Canelo is 90% close to making a deal against WBC cruiserweight champion Badou Jack. Not an easy fight for Canelo despite Jack at 39 years old. But should Canelo lose again, he remains undisputed at 168 while he's got the chance to become a 5-division world champion if he beats Jack.
Needless to say, what we have here are just a mere speculations of what might be Canelo Alvarez's future move because it sure looks like he got a lot of option right now. But seriously though, CW might be too much for him because it was already clear that he is having a hard time fighting against a natural LHW. What more if it's a CW champion, I can't just imagine what will happen
Anyways, should the rumor of Jermall-Canelo is the one to be made, I wonder if the WBC elevates Benavidez as its champion since he is the interim champ and even fought for an unnecessary eliminator.
As of now, there are no clear signs to Canelo's plan and only their team really knows what's the real score but it will not surprise me anymore if Benavidez will not get his chance even if he's the interim champ because currently, Canelo got the perks of having the organizer, promoter, sanctioning bodies and even judges are on his side.
Yes, that's why it is called rumour though, but as boxing fans, we want to speculate as what will be the next move of their team.
We wanted a Bivol or Benavidez fight, seems not going to happen. Bivol says that the offer is not as good as what they have expected giving the fact that they beat Canelo. And then with the Benavidez fight, it seems that Canelo is not interested.
And so the rumour that recently came out, Charlo the champion at 160 lbs is their next target. So we will see if this is what Canelo's camp wanted and what they are going to accomplished if they chooses a small fighter who is not that active.
It's weird because seeing Bivol do a good job with any boxer is something not to be missed, however Benavidez is a boxer who has been increasing his level, that's what I don't like about current boxers, that you always have him They had to be there licking boots for them to accept a challenge, when before they were nobody, they even fought with anyone who challenged them in the street in order to become famous, now with respect to Bivol he should accept all kinds of challenges, he is someone who needs Being much more valued, he will not fight only with the most famous, because the most famous will not want to fight with him, he has to attract the attention of the famous so that he is at their level.
First of all, we should not forget that this industry is mainly a business industry and of course, those boxers who can bring a much bigger revenue will always have the favor on their side as they are the ones who keeps the money flowing into their pockets. For Benavidez's situation, I know that it is unfortunate that he wasn't given a chance but for sure though that he knows the reality about this industry and whether he like or not, he got no other choice than waiting for Canelo's approval to have that fight.
Yes, and I think that's the bad thing, that a boxer has power over the industry, I don't see any other way to do it, of course I, as a good fan, a connoisseur of the sport and that one always tries to manage things because of emotions of a rematch, or that this boxer has something of a pique with the other, because it is something that we see in various ways, first of all a boxer must know that his life will always be full of challenges, of rematches, if they do not accept that I think that are lost or Useless for it.
Boxers are very concerned about money these days, and it's not bad, it's a good and necessary thing , but they should also see the sense of the Sport , the fans Should also see that the best things are not the Ones that the fans Propose.
Also, Eimantas Stanionis have been ordered by the WBA to be the mandatory challenger to the winner of Errol Spence Jr. vs Terence Crawford.
But isn't it there is a rematch clause between Errol Spence Jr. vs Terence Crawford? So I doubt that the mandatory fight can happen. Maybe the best thing is to elevate Eimantas Stanionis to full champion.
Yes, there is indeed a rematch clause between Crawford and Spence Jr.
The Crawford-Spence loser has 30 days from the night of their fight to exercise his contractual right to an immediate rematch.That said, many boxers like Boots Ennis and Stanionis will be affected by this if ever the loser will activate the rematch clause within the 30 days limit because that will mean that they will have to wait again and probably have another fight to keep them warm to keep their rhythm intact.
Yes, the mandatory can't be exercise right away unless those body really impose their rule, but we all doubt that it can happen. We've seen a lot of this body giving special treatment to high profile fighters.
But it's good to see Boots Ennis winning this weekends and maybe him Stanionis can make it this year for Stanionis belt.
And then the winner will have to wait for the Spence and Crawford or at least after their rematch.
No need to wait for these bodies to impose something especially if it is about Crawford and Spence, mainly the latter. It wouldn't be the first time as well if they will give another special treatment because they were able to retain these belts for years now without fighting a mandatory that was not chosen by their camp.
A Stanionis-Ennis fight is an interesting one but I doubt that they will fight and waste their situation right now because they are both on the same line waiting for their turn as they are after a different belt.
The truth is I don't care if they have to face whoever this is, but as they said before, after 30 days they have free time to activate that clause, I think the most important thing now is that Crawford asserts what he so much He has fought everywhere, his fight against Spence, the truth is if he loses it he would be very disappointed and would even begin to understand Spence for having made him wait so long, in fact if he asks for a rematch it is no longer the same emotion, I think it would be handled Anyway, personally here who has to win or win is Crawford, because he should not have stopped training for a single day, now that things are happening to him, he has to give it his all and show what he is made of .
The clause here would have to be activated by Spence, that if he loses right now and activates it after 30 days, well that's something else, I think everything begins to be seen from another point of view, and later if Crawford forces him to fight with another, Well, if he does, he has the level to continue ascending and be more famous, therefore it is more money.
Spence: I Was Willing To Sacrifice A Payday And Another Win To Wait On Terence
Errol Spence was in his right to take another fight earlier this year and force Terence Crawford to wait on him for a dream fight.
That thought never crossed the unified welterweight titlist’s mind.
The decision by the unbeaten Texan to dig in and negotiate directly with Crawford was the driving force to produce their upcoming July 29 undisputed championship. It will mean more than 15 months out of the ring for Spence, who has grown accustomed to such long gaps between fights.
“They wanted me to get another fight,” Spence admitted to a pool of media members during a virtual press conference to discuss the superfight. “I didn’t want to risk an injury, a cut… anything could happen. I just decided to sit in the house, chill and just wait on the Terence fight, or find out if the fight wasn’t happening and then take another fight. I was willing to sacrifice a payday and another win to wait on Terence.”
