Crawford, tiyak mahihirapan kay Pacquiao

Aminado si dating pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr., na hindi madaling kalaban si eight-division world titlist Manny Pacquiao kaya’t tiyak na mahihirapan ang kababayan niyang si WBO light welterweight champion Terence Crawford.

Kabilang si Crawford sa pinagpipiliang huling makakalaban ni Pacquiao sa Abril 9, 2016 sa Las Vegas, Nevada kaya kabado si Mayweather na may tulog ito kapag natuloy ang laban sa Pinoy boxer.

“If Terence Crawford happens to fight Manny Pacquiao, I want to let him know that it’s not going to be easy. Even though I know I made it look easy, it’s not going to be easy,” sabi ni Mayweather kay boxing writer Ben Thompson ng FightHype.com.

Binalaan ni Mayweather si Crawford dahil natuklasan niya nang harapin si Pacquiao nitong Mayo 2 sa Las Vegas, Nevada na napakahirap kalaban ng Pinoy boxer kaya saludo siya rito.

“The motherfucker (Pacquiao) can fight. He’s a lot better than what I thought he was,” diin ni Mayweather. “From me being in the ring with Manny Pacquiao, I take my hat off to him and I can see why he went so far in his career.”

Kung matutuloy ang sagupaang Pacquiao-Crawford, matutuklasan ng Amerikano na napakahirap kalaban ng dati ring pound-for-pound king.

“Terence Crawford gotta realize that Pacquiao is bigger and stronger than Yuriorkis Gamboa, and he hits harder,” diin ni Mayweather. “Not taking anything away from Yuriorkis Gamboa because I think he didn’t fight Yuriorkis Gamboa at 100%, but I don’t ever want to take anything away from Terence Crawford because I like that kid.”

Inamin din ni Mayweather na paborito niyang boksingero ang wala ring talong si Crawford pero dapat itong mag-ingat kung haharap kay Pacquiao.

“I really, really like that kid. I don’t want to take anything away from him because he can really fight,” dagdag ni Mayweather na nagretiro kamakailan sa boksing. “He can fight, but I don’t want him to think that just because I made it look that easy with Pacquiao, it’s going to be that easy.” (GILBERT ESPENA)
