Crawford vs Canelo: Who Will Take the Early Lead? Shocking Prediction from Robert Garcia! The boxing world is on edge as rumors swirl about a massive showdown in September!
💥 Legendary trainer Robert Garcia claims that two-weightclass riser Terence “Bud” Crawford will dominate the early rounds against undisputed super middleweight king Canelo Alvarez! 😱👑
🗣️ “Crawford will take five or six rounds. Canelo might only come alive in the second half,” Garcia said, warning that if Canelo starts slow, a comeback could be nearly impossible. ⚠️
🔍 Early Domination = Decision Victory?
According to Garcia, the undefeated Crawford (41-0-0-31KOs) will bring the heat from the opening bell—using speed, movement, and strategy to pressure Canelo from all angles.
Much like Floyd Mayweather Jr. did in 2013, Crawford will look to pile up points early and frustrate the Mexican superstar with sharp counters and slick footwork. 🧠💨
But not everyone is buying into that prediction. 👀
💣 Canelo’s Power Can Explode Early!
Canelo has shown a trend of starting heavy and explosive in recent years. Against bigger fighters like Edgar Berlanga and Jaime Munguia, he displayed tremendous power in the opening five rounds
Against a fighter like Crawford—who recently moved from 154lbs to 168—that’s a huge edge. 🧱💪
📉 While Canelo’s stamina seems to dip after Round 8 (perhaps due to age), his strategy now focuses on early damage. If he manages to cut the ring and pressure Crawford effectively, things can turn around in a flash. 🔄🔥
🎯 Power vs IQ: Who Will Execute Better?
“Crawford is extremely talented—but so is Canelo,” Garcia added. “If Canelo pushes harder in the second half, he can take over.”
But will it be enough to erase Crawford’s potential early lead?
🤔 Can Crawford Outbox Canelo from Distance?
Canelo is known for landing devastating single shots that catch the judges’s attention. Crawford’s hit-and-move strategy may fall short this time, as Canelo’s power can flip the narrative with just a few clean punches. 🧨🥶
📅 While the fight hasn’t been officially confirmed, September is heating up to be a historic night for boxing. One thing’s for sure: This could be the most talked-about clash of 2025! 💥🏟️
🧠🥊GG Counterpunch:
Crawford last fought in July 2023, defeating Errol Spence Jr. And becoming the undisputed welterweight champion.
After a year-long layoff, he moved up to super welterweight to face the unbeaten Israil Madrimov, where he absorbed more damage than ever in his career.
Just remember Crawford’s battered face after that bout—many believe he actually lost.
Now, he’s jumping two divisions to face a killer like Canelo? It makes little sense. If Canelo puts aside palying golf and horseback riding and trains seriously, this could turn into Crawford’s nightmare. 🐎🏌️♂️🥶
Critics say Canelo picks easy opponents—but he’s been fighting twice a year consistently. Meanwhile, Crawford, now his own boss, has only fought once per year over the past five years, and he’ll be celebrating his 38th birthday this September. 🎂
I’m not just expecting a win from Canelo—I’m expecting a BRUTAL knockout! 💥😤 Counterpunch 🥊
