Roy Jones Jnr and Israil Madrimov Break Down Canelo-Crawford Fight PhilBoxing.com Sun, 16 Feb 2025  The boxing world is abuzz with anticipation as the highly anticipated showdown between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford draws closer. Set to take place on September 13, 2025, at the iconic Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, this superfight is already being billed as the biggest event of the year. As the date approaches, boxing legends and experts are sharing their insights, with many agreeing that this clash of styles and generations could go either way. Roy Jones Jr. Breaks Down the Fight Hall of Famer Roy Jones Jr., one of the most respected voices in boxing, recently shared his thoughts on the matchup. Jones emphasized the unpredictability of the fight, stating, “This is a fight that could go either way. Canelo has the power and the experience at the highest level, but Crawford’s IQ and adaptability make him a nightmare for anyone.” Jones highlighted Canelo’s ability to pressure and break down opponents with his body work and counterpunching, but he also praised Crawford’s versatility. “Terence can fight in any style. He can box you, brawl with you, or switch it up mid-fight. That’s what makes him so dangerous,” Jones added. Israil Madrimov’s Perspective Former world champion and rising star Israil Madrimov also weighed in on the fight during an interview with SecondsOut. Madrimov, who has shared the ring with elite competition, believes Crawford’s technical prowess could be the key to victory. “Crawford is a master of adjusting his game plan. If he can keep Canelo at range and use his jab effectively, he has a real chance,” Madrimov said. However, Madrimov also acknowledged Canelo’s strengths, particularly his ability to cut off the ring and deliver punishing combinations. “Canelo is a beast. He’s fought the best and knows how to handle pressure. If he can close the distance and land his power shots, it could be a long night for Crawford,” he added. For Canelo, a win would solidify his legacy as one of the greatest fighters of his era, while Crawford aims to become a four-division world champion and cement his status as one of the most versatile fighters in boxing history. The debate among fans and analysts is split. Some believe Canelo’s power and experience against elite competition will be the deciding factor, while others argue that Crawford’s ring IQ, speed, and ability to adapt will give him the edge. Promoter Eddie Hearn, who has worked closely with Canelo, recently stated, “This is a 50-50 fight. Canelo is a monster, but Crawford is a genius in the ring. It’s going to come down to who can impose their will.” A Fight for the Ages As the countdown to September 13 continues, the excitement surrounding Canelo vs. Crawford continues to build. With both fighters in their primes and their legacies on the line, this matchup promises to be a historic event that will be talked about for generations. Whether you’re Team Canelo or Team Crawford, one thing is certain: boxing fans are in for a treat. Don’t miss the biggest fight of 2025, live from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
