00:00Yeah, my shoulder messed up, everyone, you know, so don't tell Canelo, you know, it may
00:06be the right, it may be the left, but it's both of them.
00:10I'm having problems with my shoulders.
00:11I am concerned about him absorbing a Canelo punch, especially through the course of 12
00:17rounds.
00:18Is it something to worry about?
00:19Yes.
00:20Can it affect the fight?
00:22Absolutely.
00:23I just said how.
00:24The boxing world has been shaken to its core after shocking reports claim that Terrence
00:28Crawford has suffered a major injury just days before his highly anticipated clash with
00:32Canelo Alvarez.
00:33What was supposed to be one of the biggest fights in modern boxing history is now hanging
00:37in the balance.
00:38Fans, analysts, and fighters everywhere are debating whether the bout should move forward
00:42or be canceled altogether.
00:44The news has set off a storm of reactions, with many insiders warning that this injury
00:48could change the entire landscape of the fight.
00:51But word on the street is that Bud Crawford has hurt his shoulder or re-injured a shoulder
00:58that had been, uh, uh, surgically repaired.
01:02Former world champion and respected boxing analyst Tim Bradley didn't hold back when reacting
01:07to the news of Crawford's injury.
01:09Bradley, known for speaking his mind without fear, criticized Crawford harshly, suggesting
01:14that these injury claims might just be excuses ahead of the massive fight with Canelo.
01:18In a fiery statement, he insisted that true champions always push through adversity, questioning
01:22whether Crawford is already looking for a way out of the toughest challenge of his career.
01:26His bold remarks have only added more fire to the already heated debate about the future
01:30of this blockbuster showdown.
01:32Crawford 100 percent.
01:34Crawford is 100 percent.
01:37If he ain't 100 percent, he 90 percent.
01:39He's still gonna fight.
01:41He's still gonna fight.
01:43That's just what it is.
01:44Forget that shoulder.
01:46Bro, this is what we sign up for.
01:48This is part of being a fighter.
01:49That's what it's part of.
01:51This is what you wanted.
01:52This is what you got.
01:54This is what comes with it.
01:55That's it.
01:56Stop making excuses.
01:58No team.
02:00Winner takes all on this one.
02:02Oscar De La Hoya has also weighed in, pointing out that Crawford is making a big leap in weight
02:06to face Canelo.
02:07A natural and experienced super middleweight.
02:09De La Hoya believes that Canelo's strength, power, and comfort at this weight class could
02:14create huge problems for Crawford especially as the fight wears on.
02:17While he praised Crawford's intelligence, speed, and technical skill, he doubts those tools alone
02:22will be enough to neutralize Canelo's advantages.
02:25According to De La Hoya, Canelo is likely to apply steady pressure, land heavy shots, and
02:29gradually take over the fight, possibly winning by decision or even stoppage after wearing
02:34Crawford down.
02:35Do you feel that Terence has a shot in beating Canelo up?
02:39When I watched Terence Crawford get rattled and rocked by Yorke's Gabor, who's a natural
02:4530-pounder, it's gonna be a huge problem when he gets hit by Canelo, who's a natural 175.
02:52So he fights at 175, he's fighting these big monsters.
02:54Yeah.
02:55He's not getting rattled at all.
02:56No, no.
02:57Berlang is a big kid.
02:59Yeah.
03:00So, it makes me think, I mean, how is Crawford gonna keep him away for 12 rounds?
03:05Canelo's gonna come at him hard.
03:07But then again, I think about Crawford's abilities and his IQ and his footwork.
03:13Boy Anthony, executive club, getting a fresh haircut.
03:16But just wanna talk about Canelo Crawford is coming up this weekend and everybody's excited
03:21here in Vegas.
03:22The electricity is in the air.
03:24So, look, even though these guys are, what, combined almost 80 years old, it should be
03:29a good fight.
03:30And let me tell you why.
03:31Crawford is coming up two weight classes and he's coming off a year's layoff.
03:35So, that's a huge advantage for Canelo.
03:37If Canelo forces his will on him, he'll probably be 190 pounds inside the ring on fight night.
03:43I give him a great shot in the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th round to knock out Crawford.
03:49If he doesn't do that, then Crawford is gonna box his ears off.
03:52It might be another Mayweather versus Canelo.
03:55Remember when Mayweather was just schooling him and making him look silly?
03:59That can happen again this Saturday.
04:01So, everything has to be perfect for Crawford, he has to use his footwork, he has to use his
04:07speed, his combinations, his ring IQ, he has to stay disciplined.
04:12And Canelo, all he has to do is take Crawford's punches, but he cannot be comfortable inside
04:18the ring.
04:19Popular commentator Showbiz the adult also addressed the growing rumors.
04:23He admitted that the speculation comes from Crawford's long layoff, his age, and reports
04:27of past training setbacks.
04:29However, he urged fans not to jump to conclusions.
04:32Showbiz reminded viewers that injury talk always surfaces before major fights, often as a way
04:37to create hype or to excuse a possible loss.
04:40While he didn't rule out the possibility that Crawford may be experiencing soreness from
04:43moving up in weight, he emphasized that there is no solid proof that the injury is serious
04:48enough to threaten the fight.
04:50From this side of my mouth, is it something to worry about?
04:55Yes.
04:56Yes.
04:57Can it affect the fight?
04:59Absolutely.
05:00I just said how.
05:01Right?
05:02Absolutely can.
05:03Especially when you're packing on extra muscle, your shoulders get heavy anyway.
05:07And your shoulders are overdeveloped and you're packing muscle on.
05:10And if you have a shoulder injury, it will affect you.
05:13Okay?
05:14I mean, it just, I'm one of those people.
05:16It is what it is.
05:17I say it all the time, bro.
05:19It is what it is.
05:20All right?
05:20These are human beings.
05:22They're real people.
05:23If you have an injury, it will affect you.
05:24100%.
05:25These, this ain't, you know, these ain't, aren't robots.
05:27This ain't a damn cartoon.
05:28It's not a movie.
05:29It's real life.
05:29All right?
05:30A lot of you guys are, got issues now physically.
05:33You throw you in the ring, you'll be like, yo, my back was killing me.
05:35You know what I'm saying?
05:37But with that said.
05:38Sean Porter, who fought Crawford back in 2021, also shared his concerns about this matchup.
05:44Porter admitted he worries about how Crawford will handle Canelo's power over the course
05:47of 12 full rounds.
05:49He noted that Canelo is naturally bigger and would almost certainly use that size to his
05:52advantage.
05:53Throwing heavy punches early to break Crawford down?
05:55While Porter deeply respects Crawford's sharp skills and brilliant ring IQ, he warned that
06:00constant pressure from a bigger, stronger fighter could prove extremely dangerous.
06:04The others say, like, no, that's two more weight classes.
06:06Like, once he gets touched by Canelo, it's going to be different.
06:09I am concerned about him absorbing a Canelo punch, especially through the course of 12 rounds.
06:16We do know this about Canelo.
06:17He's going to slow down, you know.
06:19So I think if anything, Canelo would try to start fast and bang on him and break him down
06:23before he gets later and he's still got that kind of steam.
06:26But, you know, there's so many components that make a champion.
06:31There's so many components that make a great, a legend.
06:34It's just so much to go into.
06:36It's a conversation that lasts an hour easily when we talk about all of the components that
06:42Terrence Crawford has, all of the components that Canelo have and how we find how they
06:45even out and who trumps one another.
06:48You know what I mean?
06:48We tried to do that with Errol Spence and Terrence Crawford and we see how that panned out, you
06:52know what I mean?
06:53Crawford, however, has strongly denied these claims of injury.
06:56At a recent media event in Las Vegas, he dismissed the rumors as pure nonsense, calling
07:01them distractions meant to stir doubt.
07:03To prove his point, he freely moved his arms in front of reporters, showing no sign of pain
07:08or stiffness.
07:09Crawford confidently declared that he is in top form and at his natural weight, .com but firm.
07:13He insisted that nothing, absolutely nothing will stop him from giving everything to what
07:18he described as the biggest fight of his career.
07:20For me, so you've got a shoulder injury.
07:22Do you have a shoulder injury or is that the rubbish?
07:24Where I got a shoulder injury, I don't know.
07:27I think people coming up with their own, you know, antics, you know, Terrence Crawford got
07:33a shoulder injury, Terrence Crawford out of shape, Terrence Crawford's slow, Terrence Crawford.
07:38Yeah, they coming up with all kinds of stuff.
07:41Are you feeling a difference in power now you've moved up and you're at your natural weight?
07:44It's too much of this, you know, I probably think it'll come with it, you know, so that's
07:50not any years that I agree with it.
08:07Still, not everyone is convinced.
08:09Many critics remain skeptical of Crawford's denials.
08:11A widely shared photo of his left shoulder appearing swollen has fueled even more debate.
08:16Some believe Crawford is hiding the truth so that Canelo's camp doesn't target the injury.
08:20Others argue that at 37 years old, and after more than a year out of the ring, Crawford's
08:25recovery and conditioning are not as durable as before.
08:27For them, even a minor injury could have a major impact.
08:30Totally debunked this shit.
08:33He said that he has no shoulder injury.
08:35But at the same time, bro, you can't expect Terrence Crawford to come on her right before
08:39the fight if he is injured, that is, and say like, no, yeah, my shoulder is injured.
08:43Of course he's not going to do that shit, right?
08:46So he has to deny it.
08:48So Terrence Crawford denying that he has a shoulder injury, it doesn't really mean shit
08:52to me, but how true this is, we're going to hear the truth about this shoulder injury
09:00after the fight.
09:01This is probably when, if Terrence Crawford loses, you're probably going to hear that,
09:05yeah, my shoulder was injured, this and that, you know, just the list of excuses, it just
09:11keeps piling up with this guy, you know, or not with him.
09:16I'm not saying Terrence Crawford is using these excuses.
09:19Crawford has fired back at these doubts, insisting that his record and achievements speak louder
09:24than any rumor.
09:25He pointed to his dominant victory over Errol Spence Jr., his undefeated career, his world
09:29titles across multiple divisions, and his ability to perform under pressure.
09:33Crawford firmly rejected the idea that moving up in weight should automatically discredit
09:37his chances, making it clear that his legacy is already secure, no matter what critics
09:42say.
09:49Well, they always say that, you know, they say that with Spence, he's the body snatcher,
09:55he's going to break my ribs, and so forth, you know, we shall see.
10:00How do you want people to remember this performance when it's all seven over, what's the headline
10:03the next day?
10:04Listen, they're going to come up with their own analogy, you know, all I know is they're
10:08going to be saying Terrence Crawford was spectacular September 13th.
10:13Now the big question is, do you believe Terrence Crawford is really injured and keeping it quiet,
10:17or are these just rumors designed to stir up drama before the clash with Canelo Alvarez?
