Crawford trainer says Canelo wouldn’t survive a rematch

After Terence Crawford's immense triumph implicit Canelo Alvarez, the comments from his squad proceed to garner attention. One of the trainers, Bernie Davis, was peculiarly nonstop erstwhile talking astir a imaginable rematch. He said that their boxer could spell adjacent further successful the 2nd combat than helium did past time; and that "Bud" could adjacent halt the Mexican.

"I deliberation we could halt him the 2nd time. It's going to beryllium adjacent worse, due to the fact that the crisp Crawford is simply a boxer that Canelo can't adjacent touch," Davis said.

He besides added that nary of the celebrated 34-year-old's attempts had immoderate effect: "Nothing that Canelo tried worked. He thought 'Bud' would tally similar Scully. He thought helium couldn't wounded him."

Outcome

However, the archetypal combat didn't look that simple. Although Crawford went down successful past arsenic the archetypal three-time implicit champion successful the epoch of 4 belts, the judges scored the combat rather narrowly - 115-113, 115-113 and 116-112. 

This intelligibly shows that the quality was not huge, arsenic Davis is present trying to portray. The assemblage besides had their opinion, truthful galore connected the networks called the combat a "Tom and Jerry" mentation of a superduel, due to the fact that the American mostly chose harmless moves and avoided nonstop exchanges.

The manager besides tried to support Canelo's reputation. Some assertion that the 34-year-old is nary longer the aforesaid combatant from his champion days. From the trilogy with Golovkin, done the decision against Bivol, until the past performances, it is wide that helium received a batch of hard blows. Such things permission a mark.

Davis's statements look much similar an effort to adhd vigor to the communicative than a realistic picture. Crawford has ne'er been known to spell for breaks against world-class hitters; his benignant has ever been technical, with a batch of movement. The question that remains is not conscionable whether helium tin decorativeness Canelo; but besides whether the assemblage adjacent wants different combat that whitethorn not bring the occurrence and spectacle that is expected.
