Terence Crawford’s trainer recently sent a strong message to Mexican star Canelo Alvarez ahead of their highly anticipated fight on September 13 in Las Vegas. Brian “Bomac” McIntyre heated up the conversation once again, and his words did not go unnoticed.
While Canelo Alvarez clearly has a physical advantage over the American fighter, Crawford’s trainer dismissed this as irrelevant. In fact, his comments served as a warning that the upcoming match will be extremely challenging and far from predictable.
Absolute confidence in Crawford’s potential
According to Mundo Deportivo, McIntyre spoke to The Ring and left no room for doubt. He emphasized that Canelo’s history of knockouts does not guarantee victory over Crawford. “That power won’t carry him through the entire fight. I don’t care about that power,” he stated firmly.
McIntyre also questioned Canelo’s status as the greatest super middleweight, downplaying the impact of his punches. He expressed full confidence that Crawford is prepared to overcome any physical differences. “I trust that Crawford will maintain his pace and execute the strategy until the final bell,” he assured.
