De La Hoya ridicules Alvarez's technique during sparring with Crawford.
In a surprising turn of events, legendary boxer Oscar De La Hoya has expressed his criticism towards Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez following the latter's unanimous decision loss to Terence Crawford. De La Hoya, who promoted Canelo for many years, has acknowledged Crawford's victory and praised him for stepping up to three divisions and putting on a great fight. However, he also added that Crawford took the 'news' from him, suggesting that he believed Alvarez was favoured to win the fight. De La Hoya's critique of Alvarez does not extend to his entire career but focuses on specific losses. He considers the boxers Alvarez lost to (Floyd Mayweather, Dmitry Bivol, and Crawford) as the top three he's faced. The trainer of Alvarez before their split following his defeat against Crawford was Eddy Reynoso. De La Hoya's statement suggests that he believes Alvarez's losses are significant due to the caliber of his opponents. He stated that Alvarez's feet were glued to the canvas and he was swinging at air during the fight, indicating his disappointment with Alvarez's performance. De La Hoya's criticism does not seem to be a new perspective, as he has already expressed his thoughts about Alvarez's performance during the fight. He also argued that Crawford's age was no excuse for Alvarez's loss, as Crawford is older as well. It is important to note that De La Hoya's statement does not provide any new information about his relationship with Alvarez, as he has already mentioned his role as a promoter for Alvarez. Similarly, the statement does not provide any new praise for Terence Crawford, as De La Hoya has already commended his performance against Alvarez. De La Hoya predicted the loss of Alvarez and expressed his thoughts on social media. His criticism does not change the outcome of Alvarez's fight against Crawford, but it certainly adds a new dimension to the boxing world's discussion about Alvarez's performance and his standing among the top boxers.
