Deputy coach Terenka Crawford, Bernie Davis, says that he believes that Bud will break Canelo Alvarez in a rematch. He sees no sense in the second fight, because he thinks Crawford (42-0, 31 KO) won almost every round and made it look “effortless” In their legacy of September 13 in Las Vegas.
Style criticism
Davis does not say how Crawford shot a knockout in a rematch because he did not show power or aggressiveness required to achieve this. It seemed that he was there to win the decision using your movement. He fought with the opposite of how Turks Alalshikh asked in a fight. He wanted broken bones, blood and shattered faces.
The judges did not see it in this way, shooting him 115-113, 115-113 and 116-112 for Crawford. They saw the fight so close and the one that Canelo (63-3-2, 39 KO) could win if he did not disappear slow. Crawford fought in a terrified fight, moving and not letting his hands go.
Even in rounds from nine to twelve, he only threw blows at miniature intervals and started, as if he were on the starting pad directed towards the external coverage of the solar system.
Crawford hindered the fight to watch, and fans in social media complained about his style -oriented style he chose.
With all the money he paid through Turks, Alalshikh, millions of fans watching Netflix and a crowd of 70,482 at the Allegian stadium in Las Vegas, Crawford could fight more aggressively. There was a lot more that he could do and he didn’t. He dropped all these fans, turning in the fight of Tom and Jerry and did not show the fire he needed.
Davis predicts the stop in the rematch
“I think we could keep him a second time. I think it will be worse because I feel a keen Crawford Bud, I don’t think Canelo can hurt him,” said Bernie coach “The Boxer” Davis Millcity boxing About what would take place in the rematch.
I don’t see a script in which Crawford could knock out Canelo in a rematch. She is too defensive and does not want to stand stationary long enough to try a knockout. Crawford has a fight in the style of rabbits, which is similar to Shakura Stevenson, who admires him and probably modeled his fighting style after him.
“None of *** that he [Canelo] He worked. He thought Crawford would run like William Scull. He thought Crawford couldn’t hurt him. I do not see any calls to the rematch because Bud coped with him – said Davis.
A way to reduce the bud
Interestingly, Bernie denied that Canelo had taken many penalties during his career. He indicates that he fought only twice a year, and he feels that he still has all his skills untouched at the age of 35. Davis states that people who say that Alvarez lost something from the game, receive Crawford credit, should take his victory. “It’s a way to reduce the bud,” Bernie said. Canelo did not look like the same warrior who once had been, since the clash with Dmitryan Bivol on May 7, 2022.
It is not clear if Davis is closely following Canelo’s career because he does not look like a warrior who fought Gennadiy Golovkin in 2017 and 2018. I believe that he is fighting at a lower level than before in his career. And yes, Canelo has taken many penalties.
Davis is completely unknown that Alvarez did not take penalties. His fights with Golovkin, Dmitry Bivol, Edgar Berlanga, Miguel Cotto and Callum Smith were that he was doing huge blows.
Unlike this, Crawford did not accept such penalties, because he fought smaller puncher in 135, 140, 147, and briefly at the age of 154, and was the applicant.

After positive steps towards making a fight, Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson are said to be moving on after their teams could not finalise terms behind the scenes.
The pair of elite world champions have been linked throughout 2026, but the match-up appeared off the table earlier in the year due to a dispute over the weight.
Stevenson, who has fought just once at super-lightweight, wanted to meet at a catchweight of 144lbs, and was even said to be demanding a 10lbs rehydration clause.
Team Haney at first remained firm on the welterweight limit of 147lbs, where he beat Brian Norman Jr. last November to become WBO world champion.
Earlier this month, the fighters appeared to have a breakthrough, publicly agreeing to 145lbs on social media. Fans got excited, and predictions began flooding in.
Today, Stevenson said that, despite the initial agreement, he received an email from Haney’s lawyer saying that they were now switching back to 147lbs. Haney hit back, saying Stevenson ‘went missing for days’ after they had agreed to 145lbs, and that his rival ‘did everything’ for the fight not to happen.
Whoever is at fault, the fight now seems dead in the water.
Boxing Scene‘s Lance Pugmire now reports that Haney will revisit a fight with IBF champion Liam Paro. The Australian won the belt from Lewis Crocker in June and has since called on all champions in the division – Haney, Ryan Garcia and Teofimo Lopez – to unify. Bill Haney, father and trainer to Devin, previously announced that November 28 in Atlanta was the target for his son’s return.
Who Stevenson now targets remains unclear, though fans will begin to criticise the inactivity. He has not been in the ring since an impressive victory over Teofimo Lopez in January, a particularly frustrating period of inactivity due to a high-profile promotional deal with Zuffa Boxing announced in July.
In the wake of a proposed clash between Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney falling through, Tim Bradley believes one man, who he describes as the “biggest duck in boxing”, is solely responsible.
The two pound-for-pound stars were in talks to collide later this year, with November 28 and Atlanta having been suggested as the potential date and location, respectively.
According to Stevenson, however, negotiations reached an impasse at the “11th hour” due to Haney’s lawyer demanding that they fight at 147lbs.
This, if accurate, would have meant a refusal to meet at 145lbs, which both sides had seemingly decided was a sensible catchweight for their showdown.
But while Stevenson claims he was willing to jump up from 140lbs, the slick southpaw has accused Haney of going back on his promise to drop down from welterweight.
As a result, Hall of Famer Bradley has said on his YouTube channel that, in his mind, Devin and his father and trainer, Bill Haney, are to blame for the fight not happening.
“I’m gonna name you ‘Deebo Dev’ – the biggest duck in boxing. And all y’all thought it was Shakur Stevenson [avoiding Haney] all along.
“Bill [Haney]how you gonna get out of this one? What happened – you got cold feet? This man [Stevenson] gave up the weight; this man gave up some money.
“You got your lawyer involved. You said you wanted this fight – you agreed to 145[lbs] and all. Come on now – Shakur agreed to it as well. And now we can’t get the fight because you wanted it at 147[lbs]. Is that true, Bill?”
While Stevenson comes off a unanimous decision victory over Teofimo Lopez in January, Haney has not fought since dethroning Brian Norman Jr last November.
With 41 knockouts between them from 43 victories, few expect the contest to go the distance.
Wardley, sporting Ipswich Town’s newly-launched third kit with his name printed on the sleeve, was still bearing the scars of his punishing defeat in Manchester five months ago.
A cut across the bridge of his nose, first sustained during his 2024 draw with Frazer Clarke, reopened against Dubois and left his face badly swollen and bloodied.
The punishment he absorbed has raised questions over whether his decision to take an immediate rematch has come too soon but Wardley remains confident he can reverse the result.
“It’s simply seek and destroy now,” he said.
Promoter Frank Warren is predicting a “blockbuster” 2027 for the heavyweight division, with lucrative fights awaiting Saturday’s winner.
Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua will finally meet in Cardiff on 11 December, while British prospect Itauma is set to return in January following his world-title defeat by Hrgovic.
Warren confirmed there is no clause for a third fight between Dubois and Wardley but the Queensberry Promotions boss refused to rule out a trilogy if the Ipswich fighter avenges the only defeat on his record.
“If that happens it’s a natural fight,” Warren said. “That’s what’s so intriguing about this. Who will they fight next year? We want to find out who is the best.”
