Canelo Vs. Crawford: Why Max Kellerman Sees Shades Of Marvin Hagler Vs. Roberto Duran 1983

Commentator Max Kielerman looks at the Caneo Alvarez match against Tender Crawford on September 13 as a clash in 1983 between the standardized medium weight hero Marvin Hageler and Robert Duran light.

Kellerman’s Canelo-Crawford, Hagler-Duran Compared

Over the years, rotation has moved through weight seasons, from 135 to 154, before the Haggeer challenge the IBF and WBC dome on November 10.

The rotation profession was not the same after that battle. It was eliminated in its next competition, was eliminated in two rounds, and continued to lose against good opposition. While it is a beautiful story that gave Hagger to a difficult time, the fighter was not the same after that battle.

The Kroford era, the last fighting concerns

Can we see the same thing happening for 37 -year -old Croford? He was older than 32 -year -old when he fought Hagger, and he looked terrible in his last battle against Israel, Madimov, last August.

“he [Hagler] The man was in medium weight, just like Canelo was the man in medium weight. that it [four belt undisputed] Max Kellerman to Ring Ring on X said, comparing the battle of Hagler and Duran, the battle of Caneo Vs. Crawford. [correction: Duran started at super featherweight] Just like Cruvord. “

Hijjler’s appeal was examined before rotation

What Kellerman overlooks is that Hagler did not face many high -ranking fighters during his career before fighting. Marvin was the IBF and WBC medium weight hero at the time, but his CV was full of many European fighters and the gatekeeper. Hager was held in a tie by Vito Antufermo, a fighter who lost twice against Alan Minter.

The other victory over Hagler’s resumption was a mixture of B and C fighters at the C As such, it was not surprising that he had struggled to overcome the younger, weakest and elderly Roberto.

“He went to that battle, I thought,” Hager will kill him. It is very big. [Duran] In the fifteenth round for a decision. “

Lunch of a naive Hager Keelerman

Max indicates, He was just a child When watching the battle. Hence, he appeared on Hagger with naivety, not old enough to examine his CV to know that he is often beaten by pork and eggs, not the cream talented for fighters at the level of crops. The older fans who followed the sport at the time admitted that Hager might lose it because he was finally facing a fighter at the elite level, although it was much smaller and weaker.

“Therefore, this is the type of battle I see here,” Keelerman said about the Caneo VS. Competition. Crawford. “I think this will be a very competitive battle.
