Rolando Romero, the current WBA regular welterweight champion, didn't hold back when talking about Canelo. He criticized the Mexican superstar for his passive performance against William Scull in a recent bout.
"I hope Crawford gives him a beating. Oh, no. I definitely didn't say that Crawford could win. I said, I said I hope so."
Romero's harsh words have added fuel to the fire of anticipation surrounding the Canelo-Crawford showdown. Social media has been buzzing with discussions about Canelo taking on a taller and more skilled opponent in Crawford.
Most boxing fans and experts think Canelo will come out on top. But there's a catch - if he loses, it could really hurt his reputation in the boxing world. Crawford knows he's got a lot to prove, and all eyes will be on him come fight night.
Canelo's recent fight against William Scull left many fans disappointed. People said he looked passive and didn't show his usual aggressive style. This lackluster performance has given Crawford's supporters hope that their fighter might have a shot at taking down the Mexican champion.
The upcoming clash between Canelo and Crawford has got everyone talking. It's being compared to the 2015 "Fight of the Century" between Mayweather and Pacquiao. That match had fans on the edge of their seats, and this one promises to do the same.
As the big day gets closer, both fighters will be working hard to get ready. Canelo will want to prove his critics wrong and show he's still at the top of his game. Crawford, on the other hand, has a chance to make history if he can pull off the upset.
Boxing fans around the world are counting down the days until September 13, 2025. Will Canelo silence his doubters? Can Crawford rise to the challenge? We'll have to wait and see, but one thing's for sure - this fight is going to be one for the books.
