Professional boxing trainer, Brian McIntyre, commonly known as “Bomac,” recently reignited the debate surrounding the highly anticipated showdown between stars Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez. In a statement that has added fuel to the fire, Bomac unflinchingly proclaimed, “Fans know Crawford will beat Canelo”!
Terence Crawford, the three-division world champion also known as “Bud,” has made no secret of his desire to step into the ring with the Mexican maestro, Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. And now, it seems his trainer fully supports these ambitions.
Ranked among the elite in the boxing game, both Crawford and Canelo have displayed impressive credentials, and a match between the two is one fans eagerly await. Canelo, the four-division world champion, boasts 57 wins (38 KO), two draws and a single loss, while Crawford, undefeated in 37 fights (28 KO), holds an unblemished record.
While both fighters possess unique styles, Bomac firmly believes in Crawford’s chances. According to him, Crawford’s multifaceted boxing style, his ability to switch effortlessly between orthodox and southpaw fight styles, along with his lethal power, make him more than capable of beating Canelo. On the other hand, Canelo, known for his excellent head movement and powerful body punches, may present a challenge to Crawford, but Bomac remains unfazed.
In continuation of his fiery commentary, Bomac took aim at British welterweight prospect, Conor Benn, referring to him as ‘trash‘. Benn, the son of British boxing legend Nigel Benn, has been a rising star in boxing with a record of 18 wins, 12 by knockout, and no losses.
However, Bomac didn’t hold back in expressing his full disdain for the Briton. The boxing trainer doesn’t seem impressed by Benn’s potential and growing popularity amongst boxing fans. He appears to view Benn as an over-hyped boxer riding on the coattails of his father’s legacy and doubts that the Brit can make a mark for himself in the sport.
Proof of Crawford and Canelo’s spectacular boxing prowess is demonstrated by their past performances. Crawford recently showed his brilliance in his fight against Kell Brook, whom he beat in four rounds, retaining his WBO welterweight title. Canelo also made short work of Callum Smith, defeating him to clinch the WBA (Super), Ring Magazine, and vacant WBC super-middleweight titles.
With such precedents, a potential clash between Crawford and Alvarez promises to be a colossal event, a battle of skill, technique, and endurance that could provide boxing spectators a thrilling spectacle and decide who stands supreme among the current generation of boxers.
Despite the banter and trash talk, all eyes are on the future. Will “Bud” Crawford successfully take on and triumph over the titan that is Canelo Alvarez? Is Conor Benn truly just ‘trash’, or will he rise above the backlash and prove his mettle in the ring?
The world of boxing waits in anticipation of the answers to these questions, as champion fighters and rising stars alike strive to lift their careers and legacies to new heights. One thing is certain – with every passing comment, the hype and appetite for these potential showdowns grow, making the anticipation palpable and ensuring that when the final bell does toll, it is sure to electrify the world of boxing.
