The psychology of envy in boxing: Turki Alashikhs analyzes the “ works ” of Gervonta Davis and the success of Crawford

Turki Alashikh responded to the biting remarks of Gervonta Davis in the media this week, telling him that he does not “blame” him. Alashikh considers it a natural tank reaction in response to Terence Crawford bringing “Five times” What he has in all his career from two fights (Israil Madrimov and Canelo Alvarez). In other words, Davis is green, so jealous that he cannot bear it.

Sale of the soul?

Earlier this week, Gervonta ridiculed the boxers with Turki Alashikh, saying: “looked like devil S ***. Tank then added that the fighters seemed to have “sold their soul”.

Davis told the media that he thought that boxers on the photo working on Turki boxing events had become a cult. They were dressed in the same way with butterfly knots and had sold their souls for money. He gave the impression that there was something dark, sinister and diabolical about the association.

“I do not blame Tank Davis for everything he says, he does not know me and if I put myself in his position: if he sees Crawford to do in two more fights with 5 times that everything that Tank has done in his career. It is a natural reaction from him.

Tank Davis (30-0, 28 KB) has a much more entertaining style than Crawford and, obviously, produces more knockouts. It is understandable why Gervonta would be bitter that Terence received the treatment of the red carpet by Turki and paid thousands of gases despite a less entertaining combat style.

Crawford cashes

Some boxing fans believe that Crawford, 37, does not deserve such favoritism from the Turki Alashikh, because his career curriculum vitae is not special when looking closely. They believe that his lack of real quality wins, his style of combat less than entertaining and his two divisions at 168 to challenge Canelo made him unworthy of the money he obtains.

Terence did not perform well in his latest fight against Israil Madrimov at 154. It was such a narrow fight that Crawford’s stock dropped because it was exceeded and published average for the first time in his career.

A small segment of American fans likes Crawford, but many others consider David Benavidez as more exciting to look at and deserve a fight against Canelo. However, the Mexican superstar refuses to fight Benavidez, so we end up with Crawford.
