All time, great risk, just like Crawford

Coach Ronnie Shields advises that Terenka Crawford has forgotten to stick to four belts with super medium weight and defend them against adolescent contenders in the division. Shield states that the pretenders in 168 have too much youth and “power” for 38-crawford.

Avoiding adolescent lions

Ronnie says that he would like to see how Crawford (42-0, 31 KO) boils down to 160, as he recently said, and captured the title of world champion in this weight class. It would be the Sixth World Championship of the Terenca Division if he pulled him out.

He will stay down, would send a message to fans that Crawford lacked courage to stay in 168 after defeating the faded Canelo Alvarez on September 13, 2025, and precipitates quickly to avoid the defeat of his first defeat in his career.

By reducing weight to 160, Crawford could maintain his undefeated intact record, avoiding an unpleasant situation.

If Buda remained at the age of 168 and lost many times to adolescent, talented pretenders, he would confirm in the minds of fans that he would be thrown out if he was forced to work in a row to win the title of world champion, and not make Turks Alalshikh give him on a silver plate. Crawford received the title at 168, not fighting with anyone to win the title.

All time does not run

If Crawford is grave about the desire to be among All timeHe should show courage, remaining at 168 and defending his four titles against one of the next three:

David Benavidez
Christian Milli
Oslyys Iglesias

All time from the past, fighters like Sugar Ray Robinson, Henry Armstrong, Muhammad AliAnd Joe Louis would not leave the division to avoid perilous opposition. They would not fall down to win an basic bar for superficial targets producing records. These warriors were not so feeble.

You can’t call Crawford great based on his one victory over Canelo or the other 41 victories in his CV, because he did not take any risk where he was a great weaker. When he had the opportunity to do it, fighting David Benavidez, he refused to fight him. This is not a great behavior of all time.

Fighting with tops, such as Benavidez, Mbilli, Iglesias, Dmitriry Bivol and Artur Beterbav Conditions of being one of the great all time. Crawford will not do it, so he does not deserve to be in the place of honor among Ali, Sugar Ray and Armstrong, in my opinion.

Adolescent people and too much power for a kennel

“If I am Terenka Crawford, I would give up the belts and fell to 160. It will be great at the age of 160. Create another milestone in your career,” said coach Ronnie Shields Fight Hub tv About what Crawford should do.

I would not necessarily say that it will be “great” for Crawford at the age of 160. If his intention is to get a motor title, he will have many problems with an attempt to capture the belt, because these guys fought earlier. The way Crawford passed Canelo Alvarez, hitting and stopping the rounds is not a guarantee of success in medium weight.

Masters in 160

Janibek Alimkhanuly: IBF and WBO
Erislandy Lara: WBA
Carlos Adams: WBC

“Leave all other guys in 168. They are too adolescent, too swift and too robust. Not to mention that he can’t spend time with these guys, “said Shields to Crawford, who needs to avoid perilous younger fighters in Super Middle Wweight.

Shields raises good right. Crawford would have many problems with adolescent people, the size, strength and speed of the best fighters at the age of 168. He barely defeated the miniature, faded, flat, weakened Canelo on September 13.

Crawford would be in the face of adolescent, live bodies of size and power if he decided to defend his unquestioned championships of super medium weight against contenders in the division.

Even if he lectures one of the defective ones, such as Hamzah Sheeraz or 35-year-old Jermall Charlo, it would still be hard for him. They are bigger guys with pop in their blows that would give Crawford problems with their power.

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.
