Canelo’s Coach Dismisses Crawford’s Threat
A highly anticipated showdown between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford is locked in for September 12. But the pre-fight tension just escalated, thanks to a one-line prediction from Canelo’s longtime coach, Eddy Reynoso, who confidently stated, “Whatever round—they’re going to win by knockout.” It’s a bold dismissal of Crawford’s pound-for-pound status and a clear indication that Team Canelo sees no real threat from the undefeated southpaw.
Canelo’s Performance Sparks Doubts
Canelo’s last bout against William Scull may have ended in a win, but the fight raised eyebrows. The match broke CompuBox records for the fewest punches landed in a full-length title fight, with only 445 total between the two boxers. Fans were unimpressed, especially with Canelo landing just 152 punches. Even Crawford called it “boring.” Yet Canelo still cashed in a staggering $80 million, and that financial confidence seems to be fueling the fire ahead of September’s mega-fight.
Ring Rust and Redemption
Crawford hasn’t stepped in the ring since a dominant win over Israel Madrimov. While inactivity can dull a fighter’s edge, Crawford remains confident and focused. With all four super middleweight titles on the line, the stakes have never been higher. Crawford’s mission? To disrupt Canelo’s legacy and stamp his name in boxing history.
Expert Opinions Split
Boxing insiders like Jeff Mayweather and Derek “Bozy” Ennis believe Crawford has the skillset to frustrate Canelo. Mayweather emphasized a strategic, movement-based fight plan rather than a brawl, while Bozy highlighted Crawford’s unique mix of agility, power, and street-hardened grit. According to them, if Crawford avoids a toe-to-toe war and forces Canelo to chase, he might just flip the script.
Legacy vs. Precision
As Allegiant Stadium prepares to host the battle, fans are split. Will Canelo’s championship experience and home crowd carry him to another KO win, or can Crawford outthink and outmaneuver the Mexican legend in a chess match of skills?
The countdown is on. And with trash talk, contrasting styles, and high stakes, this isn’t just a fight—it’s a statement.
