Terence Crawford’s coach Bernie Davis went into meltdown after Jaron “Boots” Ennis’ victory over Uisma Lima last Saturday night, dismissing the victory by saying: “Who is he playing against? I’ve never heard of that guy.” He seemed really worried about it.

Is jealousy creeping into Team Crawford?

It’s almost as if Bernie was jealous of Ennis’ impressive appearance, which was airy years ahead of Crawford’s typical performance. He’s never looked like this in his career. Ennis took some of the shine out of Bud’s recent victory by annihilating Lima.

Bernie was excited, apparently bothered by the praise Ennis received from the boxing world after his first-round knockout of Lima (14-2, 10 KO) in Philadelphia.

Ennis’ victory over Lima eclipsed Crawford’s victory over Canelo Alvarez on September 13. Ennis peppered Lima with shots, dropping him twice before finishing him off with a storm of powerful shots. This performance left fans speechless. Nobody does it at the highest level at 154, 160 or 168 years elderly.

In contrast, Bud ran around the ring most of the evening against Alvarez, trying not to get hit and narrowly winning a 12-round unanimous decision by scores of 115-113, 115-113 and 116-112.

Bernie: ‘Boots is an average boxer’

“Boots” is an average boxer to me. He doesn’t do anything. These are the facts. Show me something about his skills,” Bernie Davis asked Ysm Sports Media about Jaron “Boots” Ennis. “You’re showing me something frosty, out of this world.”

The “average boxer” wouldn’t eliminate Uisma Lima in the first round like “Boots” Ennis did last Saturday night. This requires top skills against a knockout artist like Lima, who is better than fans think. We’ll see this over time as he starts fighting some of the top fighters.

“What makes him so talented? Crawford is a guy who can jump up and hang out with anyone you meet because of his skills. He beats all the other guys with his skills,” Bernie said.

Ennis’ appearance in his last two fights against Uisma Lima and Eimantas Stanionis indicates that he appears to be superior to Crawford in terms of skill. In his career, Terence has never looked as impressive as “Boots” did in his last two fights.

Compare Bud’s performance in his last two fights against Canelo Alvarez and Israil Madrimov to Ennis’ performance against Lima and Stanionis. It’s like night and day. Crawford struggled in his fights against Madrimov and Canelo.

In the eyes of many fans, Madrimov defeated Crawford. In each round of the fight, Israil landed stronger and cleaner shots. If it was “Boots” who fought Madrimov, I imagine this fight to be similar to his fights against Lima and Stanionis.

Crawford’s career best wins

Saul Alvarez
Errol Spence Jr.
Shawn Porter
Israil Madrimov
A stream is needed
Amir Khan
Jeff Horn
Julius Indongo
Wiktor Postol
Yuriorkis Gamboa

These are easily Crawford’s best wins of his career. Of these names, seven of them were past their prime when Bud fought them. He didn’t fight a top-notch version of these guys: Canelo, Gamboa, Porter, Indongo, Spence, Brook or Khan. They were all at the end of their careers when Crawford fought them.
