Ennis’s derek coach “Bozi” says that Terenka Crawford has a “great” chance to defeat Canelo Alvarez on September 12. Zakijana states that the movement that Crawford will employ (41-0, 31 KO) “paralyze” The undisputed master of the super medium weight Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KO), just like William Scull last Saturday. He notes that the difference is that Crawford will “fight” Canelo.

The point is that Crawford should strive to frustrate Canelo, moving, hitting and binding him all night. This style was used by Erisland Lara against Canelo in 2014, which worked well, but the judges did not give the Cuban a decision.

You need a perennial

Crawford would have to fight more in trenches than Lara to make a decision against Alvarez. There is too much money for these two warriors to make Crawford ugly, hoping to win a decision.

“This movement is balanced to everyone, until Canelo is frustrated,” said Derek coach “Chak” Ennis Sports media YSM About how Canelo Alvarez is fighting fighters who move. “He just goes to you and so on. If he can’t touch you, that’s all.”

God mixes, thinking about Crawford, which existed before age, inactivity and weight gain, slowed him down. Terenka was a great applicant in 2017 and earlier, but he did not show that he can do it in the last four fights.

Crawford’s ability to move seemed reduced during his last fight with Israil Madrimov in August 2024. He gained a lot of weight and was out of the ring for over a year. In addition, within 13 months it was apparent within 13 months of victory over Errolem Spence Jr. In July 2023

“As I said, Terenka has a great chance to defeat him,” said God. “Terenka can box, move and hit. Terenka will not do like Scull. He will fight you. Terenka comes from the street, man. She knows what to do. As it comes to, I think she will finish frustrating Canelo.”

Crawford’s only chance to defeat Canelo is in his pocket and jumping out. He did not beat him with any methods described by God. He wants him to nail a lot, which will not win the judges. This is not Israil Madrimov, with which Crawford fights, where he can nod, doing very little. In fact, he must fight Canelo, because it is a superstar, and the judges will not give him a inexpensive win.

Entertainment pressure

“The way I had to do my warrior. I bother him and he approaches me, and I hit him, Bop, Bop, Bop, Bop,” said Ennis. “As soon as he positions, I bind him And go to the center. Continue frustrating. HIPRO with stab. Boom. Boom. Move on, but also hit him. It is frustrated and allows himself to be guarded, and this is a good night. “

The base sounds as if Crawford broke down and made him a tedious fight with Canelo. I hope he doesn’t do it because Alalshikh’s Turks pay him $ 100 million for this competition. Last Friday evening at the Times Square we saw three tedious fights, with fighters and Ryan Garcia, Teofimo Lopez and Devin Haney, who change in tedious performances, despite the fact that they received millions for their fights.

“I wasn’t surprised. Terenka is about 5’9 ″, something like that?” he said God, asked if he was surprised that Crawford was higher than Canelo during their meeting. “I think Teunego will do what he is doing. Terenca can stop him. Yes, but he was not hit by Terence. Terenca can hit. “

Crawford showed no power in his debut in 154 against Madrimov. If he cannot hit at level 154, he does not intend to turn into a terrible lethargic up £ 14 to 168. Crawford is not adolescent. It is 40 years and he has only fought five times since 2020. At his age, jumping into weight, it is completely unreal that he will show the power of a natural super medium weight. Crawford will fight in a welterweight force, but wearing many additional muscles that will sluggish it down, which makes it easier to hit.

The danger of close range

“I know that he was with some enormous punchare and so on, but their blows must be placed,” said Bozi. “And Terenka puts them blows. These bodies, senior.

Crawford does not intend to throw blows, because it will require him to stand within the reach of Alvarez’s blows, and will be caught with something great. If he tries to lie down with Canelo, it will end badly for him, but he must do it if he wants to win. Again, the judges will not win him with the Canelo Supergivia, boxing him.

“So I would go to the body, go to my head and go down to my body. When you go to the body, he is [Canelo] He will drop his hands. When he drops his hands, good night, he said God.

Solomon Dacres Confidently Takes on Bakhodir Jalolov in Epic Showdown

"Solomon Dacres Confidently Takes on Bakhodir Jalolov in Epic Showdown"

Solomon Dacres expects to stop Bakhodir Jalolov tonight, but his record offers little support for that prediction against the 6’7″ two-time Olympic gold medalist.

Jalolov has looked sluggish enough lately to give critics room for skepticism. The dominant puncher seen in the amateur ranks rarely appears in his prize ring outings, prompting a few observers to sniff an upset. Regardless, Jalolov looking flat does not suddenly transform Dacres into a top threat.

“Got to get him out of there, man,” Dacres told SecondsOut. “Mid to late rounds.”

That would be a considerable leap for a fighter whose most revealing professional result remains his first-round stoppage defeat to David Adeleye in December 2024.

Dacres describes that loss as a “blip,” but it came against the most notable opponent he had faced. Across five years as a professional, he hasn’t built a record of beating contenders that would make a Jalolov knockout seem likely.

His points win against Vladyslav Sirenko also requires context. Sirenko amassed numbers without testing himself against true threats, meaning that victory hardly proves Dacres can deal with Jalolov’s height, reach, and southpaw boxing skills.

“This fight here is beyond English title level, man,” Dacres said. “This is like world level.”

Jalolov deserves criticism for how slowly his professional career has moved and for performances that haven’t matched expectations. His Olympic medals don’t excuse that, and Dacres has an opportunity to make him work.

Expecting Dacres to win because Jalolov underwhelms ignores his own modest punch output. Managing just three stoppages across ten victories, he lacks the firepower to back up big talk.

For Dacres to land the kinds of sustained combinations required to stop someone Jalolov’s size, he has to pin him down. Jalolov does not fight like a traditional, stationary heavyweight slugger. Even when he looks uninspired, he uses lateral footwork, maintains long range with his southpaw lead hand, and angles off before opponents can set their feet.

Dacres lacks both the foot speed to cut off the ring effectively and the explosive one-punch power to make Jalolov cautious. If Dacres tries to force the issue, he’ll put himself at risk of getting caught. Pressing aggressively against a 6’7″ southpaw who excels at firing straight left hands down the pipe is asking for trouble.

Unless Jalolov completely checks out mentally and stands against the ropes to trade, Dacres will be eating long jabs and counters all night, with a Jalolov stoppage being the far more probable outcome.

Atif Oberlton Promises Exciting Future Ahead of Deon Nicholson Match

Atif Oberlton Promises Exciting Future Ahead of Deon Nicholson Match

Undefeated American light heavyweight Atif Oberlton believes there is plenty more to come after rating his last performance seven out of ten as he prepares to face knockout puncher Deon Nicholson on November 7.

Oberlton improved to 17-0 with a shutout decision over Roamer Alexis Angulo in August, but believes he has another level to reach despite winning every round.

Speaking exclusively to World Boxing News, the Philadelphia southpaw reflected on his victory over Angulo and becoming the first fighter to stop Carlos Gongora earlier this year.

“They said Carlos Gongora was going to be a very tough opponent, and he was one of my toughest challenges thus far. He’d never been stopped, and I was able to get the stoppage pretty early on because I locked in and trained the way I needed to.

“Looking back, I’d rate my performance against Angulo maybe a 7 out of 10—I could have definitely done better. But this camp is different mentally. We had a lot of factors going on last time, but I’m entirely focused now,” he told WBN.

The assessment comes as promoter Dmitriy Salita looks to establish Oberlton as America’s leading light heavyweight.

Oberlton Faces Nicholson

Nicholson enters their November 7 contest in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with 19 knockouts from 23 victories and a reputation for dangerous punching power.

The Alabama fighter was previously linked to a showdown with former undisputed champion Artur Beterbiev, making him another significant test for Oberlton.

“Nicholson is a good opponent—a good dance partner. We’re getting closer to the level of opponents that allow for a standout performance because the challenge keeps stepping up. I definitely don’t take him lightly. I respect everyone who gets in the ring and stands in front of me, but I’m going to go out there and do what I trained to do.”

The ten-round bout at Kiva Auditorium will be Oberlton’s fourth appearance of 2026, with Salita Promotions delivering on its promise to keep the unbeaten contender active.

Salita Promotions Keeps Promise

Oberlton says his relationship with Salita has allowed him to build momentum while continuing to work toward a world title opportunity.

“Salita Promotions told me they were going to keep me busy when I signed, and they’ve kept their end of the bargain. I’m keeping mine by going out there, performing, and winning—whether by early stoppage or decision.

“As long as they keep putting people in front of me, I’m going to keep fighting. Every time I step in the ring, I want to perform better than the last time, climb the ladder, and take some hardware home. I’m ready to take some candy.”

Oberlton has already stopped Joseph George and Gongora in 2026 before proving he could dominate over ten rounds against Angulo.

With 14 knockouts in 17 victories, Oberlton has shown he can finish opponents early and control fights over the distance.

Now, with another training camp behind him and a fourth fight of the year approaching, Oberlton believes his best performances are still ahead of him.
