Canelo Alvarez's loss to Terence Crawford has left the boxing world in shock. The Mexican star now faces a tough decision about his future in the sport.
Robert Garcia, a well-known trainer, shared his thoughts on the fight. He pointed out that Canelo didn't change his approach during the match.
"He didn't even try. He never changed the game plan, he never tried anything different. He always kept the same pace. Even losing, he was still looking for that left to the body without, you know, from a distance, opening up, keeping his chin up."
Garcia's comments suggest Canelo lacked the fire and flexibility needed in such a big fight. This raises questions about whether Canelo still has the drive to compete at the highest level.
Looking ahead, Garcia thinks Canelo will try to set up a rematch with Crawford.
"He's just going to look for that big fight, the rematch if he can"
The main reason? Money. A second fight between these two would likely bring in a lot of cash.
But if that doesn't work out, Garcia sees another option:
"And if not, maybe he'll retire."
This hints that Canelo might have reached the peak of his career.
The ball is now in Crawford's court. He's taking his time to decide what's next. Meanwhile, new challengers are popping up in the division. Time isn't on Canelo's side.
The big question now is: What's driving Canelo? Is it glory or money? The answer could tell us if we're seeing the end of a great boxing career.
