This is an excellent training for Ennis, which debuts in 154 against UISMA Lima (14-1, 10 KO) on October 11 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. Sparring with Canelo will facilitate “bots” prepare for a seriously striking lima.

“Game in the division a bit too large,” said coach Marc Ramsey SecondsSpeaking of Crawford, who jumps up, passing from 154 to 168 to challenge Canelo. “For me it was like Canelo was against [Dmitry Bivol. It’s not that he wasn’t as good as Bivol. The punch wasn’t the same effect that he had in another division [168]. “

Ramsey Trains, the unquestioned lightweight heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev. Crawford’s chances would be better if he had already moved to 168, he fought for a few melodies and remained busy. He did the opposite, deciding to sit for a year, connecting and training. He does not look good for 37-year-old Crawford and raises doubts as to his true justification for taking this fight. In other words, he conducted a campaign on a gigantic payment and intended to wait for him to get this money.

The trainer questions Crawford’s chances

“I think that there is a limitation of what you can do as a human being and push into this category,” said Ramsey. “Canelo is also a very talented guy. He is not only physically forceful. He is talented. I believe he has won. Even if it is no longer at the peak, he is still forceful physically and talented. I believe that he is good enough to ensure the performance. I believe that he is a divided decision for Canelo, but it will be close,” said Ramsey.

Crawford looks like the ability to overcome some super medium -sized weight, but not Canelo. The main problem is age, size, lack of experience and inactivity of Crawford. Bud will be outside the ring for 13 months, when he will enter the ring next month to fight Canelo. Crawford from Nebrask can escape from this kind of inaction fighting with guys such as Israil Madrimov, Errol Spence Jr. And Shawn Porter, but not Canelo.

"Robert Garcia Analyzes Tim Tszyu's Odds Against Erislandy Lara | Boxing News"

Tim Tszyu seeks to become Australia’s third multi-divisional boxing world champion when he competes for Erislandy Lara’s WBA middleweight title next month, and ahead of the action, trainer Robert Garcia has offered his thoughts on the fight.

Tszyu lost his WBO super-welterweight title in a defeat to Sebastian Fundora back in 2024 and twice failed to reclaim 154lb honours, both against Bakhram Murtazaliev and in a rematch with Fundora.

Since then, the Aussie has stepped up to middleweight and scored a career-best win over Errol Spence Jr earlier this yearand now, the 32-year-old could join lead trainer Jeff Fenech and Liam Paro as his nation’s third two-weight world champion, if he can trump 43-year-old.

Speaking with ProBox TVRobert Garcia, who trains a potential future Tszyu opponent in Vergil Ortiz, admitted that he is leaning towards the home fighter, but noted that Lara will not be phased by competing in the challenger’s backyard.

“We can probably lean towards Tim Tsyzu because he is fighting at home, in front of his hometown, but Lara is not the fighter that brings in a lot of fans following him.

“He doesn’t have a following, he is not one that is going to sell out arenas, so even if it is in the United States, it is likely that most of the people are going to be [there] for Tim Tszyu because Australians do travel and Tim Tszyu has a lot of fans.

“For Lara, going to Australia is like going to Las Vegas or going to New York because he never has that following anyways. Anywhere he goes, he is going to be against the crowd. So, I think for him it is going to be one of those performances where it doesn’t make a difference if he is going to Tim Tsyzu’s hometown.”

Tszyu-Lara takes place at the Cbus Super Stadium in Queensland, Australia on Sunday 13 December.

Malik Scott Predicts Knockout Victory for Jai Opetaia in Upcoming Fight

"Malik Scott Predicts Knockout Victory for Jai Opetaia in Upcoming Fight"

Deontay Wilder’s former head coach Malik Scott has delivered a knockout prediction for the American’s upcoming showdown with Jai Opetaia.

The pair will square off at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on December 11, with Opetaia making his heavyweight debut on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua.

Despite him being the naturally smaller man, many are favouring the Australian – a former two-time world cruiserweight champion – to defeat his 10-years-older opponent.

It is, after all, generally accepted that Wilder has declined significantly since his trilogy bout with Furywho survived two knockdowns and scored an 11th-round knockout in their 2021 encounter.

Back then, Wilder had just joined forces with Scott, his former opponent, and the pair maintained their fighter-trainer relationship through subsequent defeats against Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang.

With Wilder now operating under different coaches, though, Scott has shared a balanced view of the Opetaia fight with Seconds Out.

“The fight’s got dynamite written all over it. Jai Opetaia is very dangerous, but he’s a smaller man that’s been hurt by smaller men than Deontay, slower men than Deontay.

“I’ve never seen Opetaia get hit by nobody like Deontay; I’ve seen Deontay get hit by bigger punchers than Opetaia. [But] one thing we can expect in this fight is a knockout.

“The name of the fight is ‘bad intentions’ – at least that’s what I’m calling it, because that’s what they share in common. What they share in common is mentality – they both are trying to hurt you.”

While he stopped short of predicting a winner, it is perhaps telling that Scott, despite his relationship with Wilder, has not explicitly favoured him to win by knockout.
