[Boxing]: Info and Prediction Thread

I like Usyk vs Dubois first, this is a rematch and we want to see another rounds for this two as the first fight is controversial. For now, it doesn't matter of Usyk to have the unified belt again. He has proven in before.

And if he defeats Dubois then go for Parker for his retirement fight.

There's nothing to proved anymore as he has beaten all the best HW in this era.

The Usyk rematch was the objective of Daniel Dubios while i think Usyk is more than willing to give him the rematch to settle the issue as Dubios claims that he knockdown Usyk in their first encounter so there is a hype for this rematch and after beating Danile, Usky could go on and beat Parker then retire for good as no more good fights for him in the HW division and for sure he already got the money for retirement as well.

Edgar Berlanga trying to compare himself against the legendary Mike Tyson,

Lol, there are some fighters who have more first round knockouts too, but in the end we haven't heard of those fighters. Not sure why Berlanga compared himself to Mike. But it could be obvious that he wanted to hype his name again.

But this is just a bad way as you don't want to be controversial. Just become a fighter that you wanted to be, don't talk about the legends and compare yourself to them.

You are right; he is hyping himself up to create controversy and secure another big fight, similar to the one against Canelo. First-round knockouts aren't always a measure of a fighter's greatness; sometimes, they simply indicate that the opponents were not skilled enough to box competitively.

If I'm not mistaken, he might have a fight last weekend and won. But still, his lost to Canelo might be remembered as he has a lot of hype prior to the that until Canelo humbles him.

So he tries to create more hype again and hopefully him and Munguia will fight.

Love to see another PR vs Mexico rivalry with this boxers.

Hey guys, how are you doing? How do you see the fight between Crawford and Canelo? There are a lot of predictions and debates throughout this month, I personally think that Crawford can spring a surprise, even Bivol himself gave him some advice on how to beat Canelo , that made me understand that Bivol is a real boss, the guy knows what he's doing and he's not afraid of absolutely anything, he said it out loud, that's what I like about boxing, for his part I think Canelo has prepared excellent, this fight looks very, very good.

Let's wait for the official announcement yet, although it was reported that that fight might happen this September. Canelo though will have to win his fight against Scull this May and then maybe after that it will be announce by HE Turki.

Canelo has all the advantage, as he is the natural bigger guy and this is his comfortable weight. While Crawford a career 147 pounder, did go up in weight at 154 lbs won, although he didn't look good. So here, he will have to go 3 weight class, from 147 lbs to 168 lbs which might affect his performance, like his speed and endurance.

Sad day for boxing fans as we lost one of the best Heavyweight,

He passed away at age 76. Who would forget his fight with Muhammad Ali? Then came back in 1994 to beat the then champion Michael Moorer at age 45? And then turn business minded and in the late 90's to early 2000's seen in TV with his product "The George Foreman Grill".

RIP champ.

You need to be naturally bigger and volume punching in order to beat Canelo. That is Bivol's trick when he beat him. And even bigger guys like Berlanga and Munguia wasn't able to take Canelo's punches. And then Crawford a smaller guy and haven't fought at super middle weight and even if he says that he is about the same height and size, still very different though when you have been walking around that weight class all throughout your lifetime.

So as much as how elite Crawford is and has a great boxing IQ, I do not think that he has what it takes to beat Canelo at any version at 168 lbs.

I agree that Bivol had Canelo's number and now has the template on how to beat him. However, the proposed Canelo vs. Crawford fight is a different story. As I mentioned in another forum, Crawford needs to be fast if he wants to beat Canelo. But this fight is at 168 lbs, which is Canelo's comfort zone, while Crawford will need to add muscle, potentially compromising his speed. Nevertheless, this is still a very exciting fight to watch.

It's a fact, although I really think it will happen in September, and knowing how Canelo is, he will want all the attention for himself, so it's very likely that it will be like that, with respect to Canelo's preparation, because he always trains to the limit, that makes me understand that he has a lot of chances of winning, but there's something that Crawford has, when he sets his mind to something he achieves it, so we will see a fight that more than anything before being about fucking strength and weight, we will have two titans who win fights intelligently.

Yes, as reported here and many boxing forums, September is their target,

On February 2, Ring Magazine broke news that Canelo Alvarez had a deal in place to fight against Terence "Bud" Crawford in a blockbuster bout between two pound-for-pound greats in September 2025.

And Crawford has started to bulk up already as there are also video of him getting bigger and trying to be comfortable at 168 lbs. So he has the advantage to really get into that super middle weight limit and then see how his body will respond before the actual fight.

The planned fight is in September, giving Terrence Crawford plenty of time to get comfortable at the 168-lb weight limit. However, I hope his speed won't be compromised, as it's his main advantage against Canelo Alvarez. This might be Crawford's last fight before retiring for good, and it could also be the biggest payday of his career.

You're absolutely right , and I really like the way he's winning, because you can see he's working his muscles with weight and speed, That is, Crawford's punches will have more weight now, I hope he maintains or improves his speed, It's the only way he can get to the level. His training level must be at its best, He can't rest unless he's what he is.

Everyone is going around saying that Crawford doesn't have a chance right now. I still can't say who's better, but I like what I see in Crawford.

this could be true. he need to get used to his weight. climbing up the weightclass is better than going down though which i think crawford will still have the chance.

dehydration causes a fighter to be weak during the fight but climbing up makes him healthier yet the speed may be affected. the riskier part is that this weightclass is his home. he will be faster and more than likely going to KO crawford.

Many people who know about boxing have had the same opinion as you, there is talk of a possible knockout, but do they see Davis as that strong? I honestly see a lot of potential in Crawford, however the preparation, a new weight, all of that becomes a disadvantage for Crawford, while Davis trains freely and calmly, perfecting his punches, his speed, his strength, working on his resistance, working on his strategies, that is something that can happen, for me this fight will be very close.
