Bruce Carrington chooses Terence Crawford to defeat Canelo Alvarez “convincingly” on September 12. The featherweight contender, Carrington, notes that the undisputed super-middleweight champion Canelo (63-2-2, 39 CO’s) has “Slow Feet” And historically did not do well against “Movers” who are not there to hit. He points out that Alvarez’s low 152 output against IBF champion William Scull illustrates his helplessness against fighters moving last Saturday.
Hide the defect
Carrington says that when the mobile Cuban Erislandy Lara and Floyd Mayweather Jr. Earlier in his career fought more than a decade ago, he even had slow feet at the time. It got worse as he aged. Bruce does not feel that Crawford (41-0, 31 COs) will move to the extent that Scull did, but he will do it enough to leave Alvarez with few occasions to land his big power shots.
Carrington mentions that Canelo could do this Hide his lack of slow feet By choosing opponents who didn’t move much around. Mayweather, Erislandy, Scull and Dmitri Biscvol were the only fighters he fought with mobility during his career. Alvarez probably lost by three of the four. Even the Scull Fight was in real terms razor, and some believe the Cuban has earned victory.
‘Crawford all the way. He appears every time it comes to big fights. So I feel like he’s going to really get in about the game plan on what he needs to be done to beat Canelo, ‘Bruce Carrington told Pro Boxing fansThe analysis of the Canelo Alvarez against Terence Crawford Fight on September 12.
Why Crawford will beat Canelo
- Alvarez’s physical decline: The last two performances against Scull and Edgar Berlanga showed that Canelo’s production, endurance and power have decreased. He is now a three-round fighter.
- Terence’s excellent skills: Crawford’s jab, movement and ring IQ are better than Canelo. The Mexican star is just a limited counter-puncher who loads on a few shots.
- Crawford’s movement and reach: Crawford’s footwork is much better than the sturdy, short-legged Canelo, who is fighting as if moving single-deep in mud.
- Better coaching: Crawford coach Bomac is the best in drawing up game plans. Crawford’s coach is like a scientist with the way he breaks down his opponents, and fights against the right strategies to defeat them. He has already found out how to beat Canelo.
“We saw in the last fight (against William Scull) that Canelo is not doing very well against Movers, and I don’t think Crawford is going to move as much as Scull did,” Carrington said. “It was so excessive what Scull did. But he is going to mix the movement with his offense in the movement and make it a reasonable good fight. “
Scull could easily have won the battle if he believed in himself and came forward to attack Canelo. He became the better of the Mexican star during the exchanges, which scared him to throw. One of the reasons why Alvarez closed his offense in the second half was the fear that he would be counteracted by Scull.
“I don’t think he’s going to stop Canelo in any way, but I feel like Bud can win convincingly,” Carrington said about Terence. “I feel like Canelo’s feet were slow. You saw when he (Erislandy) fought Lara (in 2014). You saw even when he was younger when he fought Mayweather (in 2013). ‘
Anyone could see that Canelo slowly had feet to look at his fights. It has always been that way. He lost to Erislandy in 2014, but two judges gave the Cuban a raw agreement. After that fight, Canelo became very selective in his opponents and always chose stationary fighters. He only fought one good opponent after the Lara attack, Gennadiy Golovkin. Even then he waited until he was 36 before he fought against him. He could GGG when he was 32, but he turned it off until he had a poor performance against Kell Brook.
Punch shy champion
“If he (Canelo) has a mover in front of him, he’s not going to do so well,” Carrington said of Canelo. “He wants someone who can stand in front of him so he can contact the big shots. If not, he’s going to throw air. So, he’s not going to throw as many blows as you saw when he fought against Scull. He didn’t throw many blows (Comment: Canelo threw 152 strokes against Scull) if he didn’t feel confident to hit you.
“Yes, Canelo had a slow feet. It’s just that his opponents he fought did not move around to expose it,” Carrington said.
