Derek ‘Bozy’ Ennis predicts Terence Crawford will frustrate and defeat Canelo Alvarez

Coach Derek ‘Bozy’ Ennis says Terence Crawford has a ‘big’ chance to defeat Canelo Alvarez on September 12. Bozy mentions that the movement that Crawford (41-0, 31 COs) will use “Frustrate” The undisputed super-middleweight champion Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 COs) did like William Scull last Saturday. He notes that the difference is that Crawford will “fight” Canelo.

The idea is that Crawford must strive to frustrate Canelo by moving, hitting and tying him all night. This style was used by Erislandy Lara against Canelo in 2014, which worked well, but the judges did not make the Cuban decision.

Terence’s need for action

Crawford will have to fight more in the trenches than Lara did to get the decision against Alvarez. There is too much money paid to these two fighters for Crawford to make it ugly in the hope of winning a decision.

“That movement all offses, and with Canelo he gets frustrated,” coach Derek ‘Bozy’ Ennis told IceM Sports Media About how Canelo Alvarez struggles against fighters moving. “He just walks to you and all that. If he can’t touch you, it’s it. ‘

Bozy gets mixed and thinks of the Crawford, which existed before age, inactivity and weight gain, delayed him. Terence was a wonderful garage in 2017 and previously, but he did not show that he could do it in his last four fights.

Crawford’s ability to relocate appeared in his last battle against Israil Madrimov in August 2024. He was giving a lot of weight and was out of the ring for more than a year. He also visibly aged in the 13 months he has been out of the ring since his victory over Errol Spence Jr. In July 2023.

“Like I said, Terence has a great chance to hit him,” Bozy said. ‘Terence can box, move and punch. Terence is not going to do like Scull. He’s going to fight against you. Terence is off the street, man. He knows what to do. When it comes to it, I think he will hinder frustrating Canelo. ‘

Crawford’s only chance of beating Canelo stands in the bag and passes him out. He will not strike himself through any of the methods described by Bozy. He wants him to clinch a lot, which will not win the judges. It is not Israil Madrimov who is fighting Crawford, where he can nod by doing very little. He actually has to fight against Canelo because it is a superstar, and the judges will not deliver him a cheap victory.

The pressure to entertain

“The way I would make my fighter do. I box him, and he comes to me, and I hit him, bop, bop, bop, bop, ‘says Ennis. ‘Once set to be set, I tie him And walk him to the center. Keep frustrating. Hip with the stitch. Tree. Tree. Keep moving, but hit him. He gets frustrated and lets his wait, and it’s a good night. ‘

Bozy sounds like he wants Crawford to spoil and make it a boring fight against Canelo. Hopefully he doesn’t, because Turki Alalshikh pays him $ 100 million for this competition. Last Friday night at Times Square, we saw three boring battles, with A-side fighters Ryan Garcia, Theofimo Lopez and Devin Haney, all of whom dull performances, despite paying millions for their fights.

“I wasn’t surprised. Terence is about 5’9 ″, something like that? ‘ Bozy said when asked if he was surprised that Crawford was longer than Canelo during their face. “I think Terence is going to do what he does. Terence can stop him. Yes, however, he was not hit by Terence. Terence can hit. “

Crawford showed no power in his debut on 154 against Madrimov. If he can’t hit the 154 level, he doesn’t go a monstrous slugger rising £ 16 to 168. Crawford is not young. He is 40-ish and has only fought five times since 2020. At his age and in weight, it is completely unrealistic that he will show the power of a natural super-middle weight. Crawford will come to the fight with the power of a welterweight, but to carry many extra muscles that will slow him down, making him easier to hit.

The danger of close distance

“I know he’s been some of the wonderful punchers and all this, but they have to be placed upright,” Bozy says. ‘And Terence puts their bumps. Their body shots, man. I don’t see too many people going to Canelo’s body. Have you seen it? Not too many people. ‘

Crawford is not going to throw body states because it will require him to stand in the series of Alvarez’s bumps, and he will be trapped with something great. If he does try to snail with Canelo, it will end badly for him, but he has to do it if he wants to win. Again, the judges are not going to give him a win against the superstar Canelo by boxing him.

“So I would go to the body, go to the head and go back to the body. Once you go to the body, he (Canelo) will drop his hands. Once he drops his hands, a good night, “Bozy says.
