Terence Crawford’s coach, Brian ‘BoMac’ McIntyre, predicts a victory for Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) over undisputed tremendous middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KOs) on September thirteenth.
A Historical past of Predictions
‘BoMac’ says it received’t be “no cakewalk” for Crawford, however he’s going to beat Canelo. He states that followers doubted him previously when Crawford fought unified welterweight champion Errol Spence on July 29, 2023. He proved them fallacious with Crawford scoring a ninth-round technical knockout of Errol.
“We’re going to beat this motherf****a**, canine,” stated Crawford’s coach, Brian ‘BoMac’ McIntyre, to Ring Journal on X, predicting a victory for Crawford over Canelo Alvarez on September 13. “It ain’t no cakewalk, however we’re going to beat his a**, although. I promise you that. Watch and see.”
It’s comprehensible why ‘BoMac’ believes Crawford will win. He’s seemed so spectacular in fights over the previous few years, beating Errol Spence, Shawn Porter, and Amir Khan.
Canelo’s final efficiency in opposition to IBF tremendous middleweight champion William Scull on Could 3, 2025, was not certainly one of his finest efforts. Alvarez received by a 12-round unanimous resolution by the scores 115-113, 116-112, and 119-109. Canelo landed 56 of 152 thrown punches for a 36.8% join fee.
BoMac’s Guarantees
“I ain’t steered you fallacious but, and I’m not within the enterprise to begin now,” stated ‘BoMac’ when requested what his message is for the naysayers who declare that Crawford is just too small to defeat Canelo. “I attempted to inform them about [Errol] Spence, however they don’t need to pay attention.”
The way in which ‘BoMac’ talks, he seems like he’s assured that Crawford will come out victorious, as he has in his prior 41 fights throughout his 17-year skilled profession. For my part, Crawford will come up brief. He lacks the prerequisite wins on his resume to be considered because the winner in opposition to Canelo.
Bud Crawford, 37, had one struggle at 154 kilos a yr in the past in opposition to Israil Madrimov on August 3, 2024, and he squeaked by with a slender 12-round unanimous resolution. He hasn’t fought since, selecting to spend the yr bulking up slowly for his struggle in opposition to Canelo.
Terence’s former promoter, Bob Arum of High Rank, agrees that he’s going to defeat Canelo. “I believe Crawford goes to win by a large resolution or presumably a knockout. I simply don’t suppose Canelo is identical fighter he was, and I believe Crawford has developed into an entire fighter,” stated Arum to BoxingScene.
Crawford’s Opposition Since 2019
Israil Madrimov (August 2024)
Errol Spence Jr. (July 2023)
David Avanesyan (December 2022)
Shawn Porter (November 2021)
Kell Brook (November 2020)
Egidijus Kavaliauskas (December 2019)
Amir Khan (April 2019)
These are Crawford’s fights within the final six years. I don’t consider these fighters are anyplace close to the extent of Canelo. Madrimov stands out as the very best of the bunch, and Crawford simply barely received by him by the scores 116-112, 115-113, and 115-113.
