Coach Jose Benavidez sr. He says that the undisputed master of super medium weight, Canelo Alvarez, can defeat Terence Crawford, even if he did not bring Jaron “Boots” Ennis to the camp to imitate his fighting style, to operate the sparring in their headliner on September 13 in Las Vegas.

Is Ennis to disperse attention?

“It’s entertaining that he brought Ennis to his camp. They know what they are doing. Even if he didn’t bring him, I think it would be the same,” said Jose Benavidez Sr. Millcity boxingResponding to Canelo Alvarez, introducing Jaron “Boots” to the camp to lend a hand in the fight against Terenka Crawford on September 13.

Canelo has an advantage over Crawford size, power and division over Crawford. Crawford moves around two divisions at the age of 37 after a long release. These are areas that can take into account the results. Crawford has an IQ ring and mobility that can lend a hand him avoid Canelo shots.

“I respect the fact that he received the best possible sparring he could find for Crawford to win this fight,” said coach Stephen Edwards Sports media YSMSpeaking of Canelo, using Ennis as his sparring partner behind schedule in the camp.

Canelo needed a smaller warrior who would lend a hand prepare him for Crawford’s style, and Ennis is a welterweight. It works well for Alvarez.

“If Crawford does not move and stands in front of him, Canelo can really hurt him. Crawford has never been hit by this massive guy,” said Benavidez Sr. “Canelo was hit by many guys who hit more than Crawford. I think Crawford has the power to stop Canelo, but you never knew.”

Victory plan

Crawford’s coach, Brian “Bomac” McIntyre, said at the beginning of the camp that they would follow the plan of Floyd Mayweather Jr. And Dmitriry Bivol on how they fought with Canelo. These two fighters used a lot of movement to avoid hitting Alvarez’s demanding arrows.

“People don’t give Crawford a chance because of the weight and how massive Canelo is.

Many fans and media members give Crawford a great chance to beat Canelo. Although Canelo is a favorite of factories, many people think that Terenka will win. They indicate that his last fight against Israil Madrimov on August 3, 2024 was an ideal preparation for Alvarez.

Crawford’s weight and endurance

“He can win such a fight, but it must be in really good condition,” said Benavidez Sr. Asked if Crawford can beat Canelo without hitting boxing. “I don’t know if these additional pounds will lend a hand him have the same strength to have the same leg work. If he can do it, we’ll see how someone beats Canelo.”

The burden that Crawford put during the training camp causes doubts with some boxing experts about his ability to move on the ring without tiring.

“If he wears so much, he will lose his speed, and this is his greatest weapon,” said former world champion in four resolutions Mikey Garcia about gaining Crawford.

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.
