Floyd Mayweather keeps pushing forward jabs and changing levels. Mayweather is so sharp that he looks like a glorious sparring session in the first half of the battle.
In the second half of the round, Mayweather continued to overwhelm Alvarez with his movements, reflexes, right hand, left hook and precise counterattack. At the end of the game, the score will indicate that Canelo suffered his first career loss.
Nine years later, Canelo Alvarez rose to 175 to challenge WBA lightweight champion Dmitry Bivol. The defending world champion showed a lot of discipline when sticking to his game plan.
Throughout the championship game, Bivol uses sports, an active thrust, and he often punches. At the end of the 12th round, Dmitry Bivol was declared the winner through a unanimous decision.
Why Crawford’s skills set him apart on September 13
Mayweather and Bivol led to the path to victory over Canelo in their own unique ways. However, both men use some of the same tools, such as defensive responsibilities, leveraging sports, elite footwork, controlling distance, having good timing and precise counterattacks.
Terence Crawford is an elite boxer who is able to take advantage of the same tools Mayweather and Bivol use against Alvarez. On battle night, Canelo will obviously have a size advantage, but Crawford has multiple advantages.
The big battle with Canelo is the round that Crawford will win. Crawford is a revving basketball that is faster and more athletic than the Canelo. Crawford has high IQ, speed, good strength and impeccable timing.
Crawford will skillfully use his ring general and skills to achieve the greatest victory of his career. In the first few rounds, Crawford likes to download data and basically measure range and distance.
At this point of the battle, Terence Crawford switches between Orthodox and South Claw poses. Once Crawford figures out everything, he will be committed to fighting from the South Claw’s standpoint.
Crawford will have an active lead as he will explore, forge and exploit jabs. Crawford will determine the pace of the battle through his footwork and movements.
Canelo likes to use senior defenders when applying physical and mental pressure, but Crawford is aware of this strategy and he will be prepared for it. Crawford will neutralize Canelo’s defender with assumptions and level changes.
Bud Crawford can make it easy for himself by boxing from the outside. His brief moment in his pocket, he will use footwork to work, good drilling options, precise timing, and will be responsible for defense.
On the evening of September 13, Terence “Bud” Crawford will execute his game plan by leveraging his skills, being smart and maintaining discipline. Canelo has a scale advantage, but the skill pays the bill, and Crawford plans to cash out by winning and becoming the undisputed world champion of three-pointers.
