Image: A Peek Behind the Curtain: Terence Crawford's Irritability and Deflection in the Face of Criticism

Terenka Crawford sounded confident today, saying that there is a “1000%” of a certain victory over Canelo Alvarez on Saturday evening at the Allegiant stadium in Las Vegas. Crawford said: “I will win.”

The way Bud repeated that it sounded similar to the lines from the history of children, A compact engine that could“I think I can. I think I can.”

“I will be winning and everyone will talk about it on Sunday. I am now 1000%,” said Crawford during today’s press conference About his trust in overcoming the four 168-Funt champions Canelo Alvarez on Saturday.

True behind the facade

It seems that Crawford is either too confident or intentionally displaying facade courage To prevent Alvarez, how uncertain he enters their fight. Considering how Crawford looked like Israil Madrimov in his last performance in 2024, it makes no sense to be such an agile victory, moving two classes of weight to face Canelo.

“If the warrior says,” I’m sure of 1000%, “he lies. I am more than ready to perform this Saturday, “said Crawford.

“I will definitely win this fight. I do not think that losing to me or Canelo will destroy our heritage,” said Crawford.

Sure, yes. It hurts one of these warriors if they lose on Saturday, especially if it is a knockout or one -sided failure. However, I think it’s Canelo more than Crawford, because he is a bigger warrior, favorite and star. Bud has an excuse that will insulate him before his heritage destroyed as much as Canelo, but he will still be hurt if he loses.

Terenka maintains that they both still go to Galeria Sław, even if they lose on Saturday. It sounds exactly. The loss here will be overlooked by the Hall of Fame committee due to the achievements they had during their careers.

Crawford says he was “underestimated “ By people entering this fight in every respect, but he states that he does not care. Of course, to mention this, he suggests that he bothers him, and he has a chip on his shoulder that enters the fight.

SCULL criticism deviation

When Crawford was asked about his last fight with Madrimov, he decided to deviate, indicating that Canelo did not achieve well in his last competition against William Scull on May 3, 2025.

Defense of an irritable warrior

Instead of changing the topic quickly, Crawford played his point of view, saying to the media that they must talk about Canelo’s performance against Scull, not to him. It sounded sensitive here because of deprivation of criticism, reversing the subject of what Alvarez looked like.

Terenka could meet better at this point if he openly admitted that he did not fight well against Madrimov, but he learned from it. Instead, Crawford took over the conversation and threw Canelo under the bus.

This low interaction allowed the media to take a look at what Crawford looks like, and it was not a nice picture.

Tony Bellew's Bold KO Prediction for Dubois vs Wardley 2: "Yep, I Said It"

Tony Bellew is going against the grain for tonight’s Daniel Dubois vs Fabio Wardley rematch.

The pair meet again just five months on from their thrilling first encounter, with Dubois now WBO champion having won the belt from Wardley via eleventh round stoppage.

After surviving two early knockdowns, the Londoner – who is now in his second stint as heavyweight titlist – took over the contest with a solid jab setting up thudding attacks that exhausted Wardley.

Though the Ipswich man stayed on his feet throughout, referee Howard Foster waved it off as the punishment because too much.

It is how the fight ended, and those last few rounds in which Dubois was largely dominating, that make him a strong favourite to retain his belt.

Giving his prediction to the BBCformer cruiserweight world champion Bellew backed Wardley to have success early again, but capitalise fully this time and end it.

“I’m going to be the difference. I am going to back Fabio Wardley by knockout within six rounds. Yep, I said [it]. I’m going for Fab within six.”

Dubois was on the canvas within ten seconds last time out, and took a knee in the third when hurt again.

Bellew has questioned Dubois’ resolve in the past, pointing to his stoppage loss to Joe Joyce as proof that there is a point he can be pushed to that he is not willing to go beyond. Many, however, will look to the first Wardley performance and disagree.

Both men recorded the highest weights of their careers on the scalessuggesting that neither will be changing the gameplan to a more measured affair, rather looking to engage in round 13 from the off tonight at London’s O2.

Peter Fury Shares Final Thoughts on Daniel Dubois vs Fabio Wardley 2: I Still Think That

Peter Fury Shares Final Thoughts on Daniel Dubois vs Fabio Wardley 2: "I Still Think That"

Top trainer Peter Fury has offered his expert analysis on the rematch between Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley, believing it is still a 50/50 fight.

Others, meanwhile, will argue that Dubois should be made a considerable favourite, based on how he was able to dismantle Wardley in their first encounter.

In order to do so, the ‘Dynamite’ puncher was compelled to climb off the canvas in rounds one and three, having been put down by blows to the top of his head.

Proceedings then became a little one-sided as Dubois, utilising his fundamentals, managed to score an 11th-round finish with his thudding jab and superior footwork.

Wardley, however, wasted little time before activating the rematch clause in their contract and, in turn, securing the chance to reclaim his WBO title at London’s O2 Arena tomorrow evening.

Many will argue that such a swift turnaround could lead to his downfall while, due to his power and toughness, others would suggest that the 31-year-old is always dangerous, no matter the opponent standing across from him.

As such, coach Fury has told Boxing King Media that, while Dubois is rightfully brimming with confidence, it would be foolish to entirely dismiss Wardley’s attributes.

“I think it’s a great heavyweight fight – Dubois has got heavy hands and a good jab as well, so it’ll be interesting.

“You’ve got to say Wardley’s got it all to do, because the confidence of Dubois will be high. And if Dubois’ super confident, he’s a problem.

“But let’s see – Wardley was able to hurt Dubois early on. I still think that fight is a 50/50 fight.”

If he emerges victorious against Wardley, then Dubois will likely be targeting a unification match with Agit Kabayel or Filip Hrgovic in 2027.
