WBO junior middleweight champion Tim Tzu's manager Glenn Jennings says his team is confident of defeating Terrence Crawford in a mandatory fight if the fight takes place after Marko's 30th defense this Saturday in Las Vegas. Told.
Tzu (24-0, 17 KOs) needs to win a fight against Sebastian Fundora in the Prime PPV headliner. From there, Tszyu could next defend against Crawford unless the Omaha, Nebraska native changes his mind about wanting to fight him.
Crawford is unlikely to change his mind about fighting Tszyu because he has money and no better payday options right now.
If Canelo Alvarez were interested, Crawford would forget about Tszyu and head north to fight the Mexican star for a huge payday. That probably won't happen, so Tszyu is Crawford's best chance to earn a big salary.
Jennings: “We'll win that battle''
“So I believe that if Tim is given the opportunity to fight Terrence Crawford, we will win that fight. There is a lot of confidence in his camp that we are not here for anything other than to take it all away. There's no question about it,'' WBO junior middleweight champion Tim Tzu's manager Glenn Jennings said on Jay McAllister's YouTube channel.
Given Crawford's inactivity, his boxing fans will blame Tszyu's loss on ring rust from a year of inactivity. Ideally, Crawford would have adjusted at 154 for the fight against Tshii, but that's not possible. Tszyu will face another opponent, but no one knows who it will be.
“Crawford raised his hand, which technically means he can exercise his obligation five days after the game. We have to start negotiating,” Jennings said.
betray expectations
“The boxing world will say Crawford is too good for Tszyu. Everyone said the latest. They all said it. We, and Terrence Crawford's team, too, Tim “I believe Tzu is the best 154 player in the world. There's credibility and equity behind that. It's not about making up numbers with lip service,” Jennings said.
