Coach Terenka Crawford, Brian “Bomac” McIntyre, says that he is more determined to prepare Crawford to fight with the unquestioned champion of the super medium weight Canelo Alvarez now, when fans doubt their warrior. McIntryre notes that fans are skeptical about the chances of a team of winning, because he moves two weight classes from 154 to 168 to challenge Canelo (63-2-2, 39 KO) for four titles September 12 at the Allegian Stadium in Las Vegas.
Crawford age factor
Why there are doubts about the terrain
Age: Crawford will be nearly 38 before he will fight Canelo. His birthday is September 28. He looked elderly and feeble in his previous fight with Israil Madrimov. The physical decline in Crawford was noticeable in this fight and seemed to lose, but he made a dubious decision.
Inaction: It will be 13 months since Terenka recently fought when he entered the ring against Alvarez. Earlier, Crawford was inactive for 13 months and looked rusty and slowly in his debut at the age of 154.
Perception of the fight for money: People think that the main motivation of Crawford’s Buda to fight Canelo is $ 100 million, which he receives for this fight. They indicate that he did not show ambitions to go to 168 and go a board against the deadly vertex, David Benavidez, David Morrell and Oslesys Iglesias, to show that the focus on real competition was focused.
Alvarez power: Canelo’s power is still powerful, even though he slowed down with age. The arrows that landed on his last two opponents, William Scull and Edgar Berlang, hit the holes through the brittle, reminiscent of Crawford’s frame. It was not designed to hit by a robust, Canelo truck.
“We are not looking for a knockout. We go there to try to play because such a name of the game. But if a knockout comes, we will be able to get it,” said Brian “Bomac” Mccintyre Millcity boxing About whether Crawford can knock out Canelo Alvarez on September 12.
Bomac releases a cat from the bag here, revealing that Bud comes to “box” Canelo instead of trying to get a knockout. He said in other interviews that he was studying Canelo’s losses towards Dmitry Bivol and Floyd Mayweather Jr., and that they would employ these two as a plan for employ against the Mexican star.
“The first great fight we had [against car crash-wrecked Errol Spence]They doubted us and we completed the task. Now we will augment two classes, and they say: “This is the stupidest thing to do.” Of course, we believe in ourselves because we are going to this challenge. If we didn’t do it, we wouldn’t do it. When people tell me that we can’t do work, it just makes me work harder. “
False era of boxing
What is Bomac talking about? Of course, Crawford would still fight Canelo, even if he didn’t think he could win. An inactive elderly lion is paid $ 100 million fight the Mexican star after a year outside the ring and a controversial decision against Israil Madrimov. It’s about money. If it wasn’t for green things, Crawford would already move to 168 Walking GuilotineDavid Benavidez, to get the title shot against the undisputed master of the super medium weight Canelo traditionally. This is what Alalshikh should do, instead of just giving him a fight.
The winning part is primarily the fight against Canelo, because it does not deserve it. This is just another of the circus fights that we see, and the box was transformed into a false sport.
Oscar De La Hoya has questioned the general consensus that Canelo Alvarez is a Mexican boxing legend following his unanimous decision victory over Christian Mbilli.
The 36-year-old reclaimed his WBC title last Saturday, having lost his undisputed super-middleweight crown in his previous outing, against Terence Crawfordin September 2025.
Following that defeat, many wondered whether Canelo could succeed again at world level but, sure enough, he did just that by dethroning Mbilli.
Not only did he claim a convincing points victory, but the Mexican contained Mbilli’s aggression and controlled the majority of their contest with superior technical and defensive skills.
This, however, was not quite enough to satisfy his former promoter, De La Hoya, who has suggested that Canelo’s low punch output made for a largely tedious affair.
As per his semi-regular social media series, Clapback Thursdaythe Hall of Famer also undermined Canelo’s widely-accepted legacy as a Mexican great.
“I’m so f**king tired of 100 punches [being] thrown in a fight with no action whatsoever, and I know the fans are over it.
“We all miss those days of [Marco Antonio] Barrera, [Erik] Morales [and] Julio Cesar Chavez – that’s what Mexican boxing is known for.
“Canelo, do you try to proclaim you’re the best Mexican fighter ever? You couldn’t hold Chavez’ jockstrap. And I can name 10 other Mexican fighters who are way better boxers than you are. And they didn’t sell-out to fight in front of 15 people in Saudi Arabia.”
In fairness, Canelo has never proclaimed to be the greatest Mexican fighter in history, though most would argue he deserves to be considered in an all-time top 10.
A formal press release was issued today announcing the December 19 welterweight title unification between Devin Haney and Liam Paro at San Francisco’s Chase Center, and in anticipation of the meeting with a co-feature of Brian Norman vs Abel RamosHaney shared his excitement for what he expects to be another successful outing to snag some more hardware.
“My resume speaks for itself,” Haney said. “I’ve never been afraid to go into a champion’s backyard and put my record on the line. I went to Australia, took George Kambosos’ belts, and became undisputed lightweight champion of the world. Now I’m bringing another Australian world champion, Liam Paro, into my backyard. This time, I plan to take his belt and become a unified welterweight world champion right here at home. “Oakland is where my story started, and the Bay Area has always been part of who I am. The Valkyries just brought a championship to Chase Center, and on December 19, I plan to keep that championship energy going.
“I made history in Australia. Now it’s time to make history at home.”
Paro, however hopes to upset the odds, knowing he’ll be coming into this fight as a decided underdog.
“Three years ago, I was on the undercard at Chase Center the night Devin fought Regis Prograis,” Paro said. “I said back then that Haney versus Paro rolls off the tongue. Now it’s here. Champion versus champion, two belts on the line, in his backyard.
“I’ve never taken the easy road. I went to Puerto Rico and took the title off Matias in front of his own people. Devin’s a great fighter and I respect that. But I’ve been the underdog plenty of times and I’ve made history before. December 19, I’m coming to unify the division and make more history.”
With the WBO and IBF welterweight world titles on the line, one fight will be heading into the new year halfway to undisputed.
Liam Paro served as supporting cast the last time Devin Haney headlined at Chase Center. Come December 19, he walks into San Francisco carrying the IBF welterweight title, gunning to strip Haney of his WBO strap.
Three years transformed Paro from an undercard face into a headline attraction. He watched Haney shut out Regis Prograis from the locker room in December 2023. Now he commands the marquee, even if getting US fight fans to open their wallets on pay-per-view presents an uphill battle.
“Three years ago, I was on the undercard at Chase Center the night Devin fought Regis Prograis. I said back then that Haney versus Paro rolls off the tongue. Now it is here. Champion versus champion, two belts on the line, in his backyard. I have never taken the easy road. I went to Puerto Rico and took the title off Matias in front of his own people,” Paro stated.
The Australian proved his mettle by snatching the 140-pound crown from Subriel Matias on hostile soil. Richardson Hitchins took it right back six months later, checking Paro’s momentum before mainstream crowds took notice.
The jump to 147 pounds provided the reboot he needed. Three straight wins, capped by a gritty points victory over Lewis Crocker to claim the IBF strap, set the stage for this encounter.
Haney ends a lengthy layoff on home turf. Sitting out more than twelve months makes asking fans to purchase a DAZN PPV against a fighter unknown to mainstream viewers a tough sell. Belts by themselves rarely move the needle at the box office.
Brian Norman Jr. takes on Abel Ramos in the ten-round co-feature. Norman dropped his WBO belt to Haney last November and must now accept undercard placement on his conqueror’s bill.
Paro earned his position the hard way. December 19 decides if his punch output can upset the hometown favorite or if Haney cruises behind his jab.
