LAS VEGAS – Terence Crawford was not impressed with Jermell Charlo’s performance after being defeated by Saul Canelo Alvarez in the fight which took place at the T Mobile Arena, Sunday (1/10/2023). The 33 year old boxer lost on absolute points 108-119, 118-119 and 118-119.
Charlo actually had some impressive moments in the fourth and fifth rounds. However, his prowess in the ring finally collapsed after Canelo crushed him in the seventh round.
Since then, Charlo seemed to only stay in the ring until round 12. Before finally the three judges won Canelo. The Mexican boxer successfully defended the WBO, WBC, WBA and IBF super middleweight championship belts.
Not long after, Crawford took to social media to ridicule Charlo’s appearance. He said the boxer nicknamed Iron Man looked like he was trying to survive rather than win the fight.
Crawford then said Canelo made Charlo look like a baby in the ring. Crawford’s comments came after Charlo called him to the ring.
Charlo said the following after his fight with Canelo: ‘Hey, I want to fight Terence Crawford. I could fight Terence Crawford in my weight division. I know he’s around here. I will fight Terence Crawford. He could fight Errol Spence or whatever happens, get rid of that. I’m waiting,” he stressed.
However, Crawford showed no interest in fighting Charlo after watching the fight against Canelo. “Jermell Charlo, you came out sad. Didn’t even try to win, all you did was try to survive. You should be ashamed of yourself. Congratulations, Canelo, you made the so-called lion look like a baby,” quipped Crawford, quoted from DailyMail.
“Okay, I’m over Jermell Charlo, he’s no longer on my hit list. He went out there and laid down and let Canelo beat him like Canelo was Charlo’s father who couldn’t put up any resistance.”
