And while Terrance has good head movement and athleticism, he’s more what we called in my neighborhood a “gumpy athlete” (a freak athlete who has awkward body movement), and with his head movement he often maneuvers himself way out of position. While Errol uses hand positioning to block and parry punches, this sometimes leaves his head on the line to take straight shots. Can Errol focus and stay defensively responsible for 3 min of every round? And can Terrance focus in order to implement a consistent strategy for all 12 rounds? Also curious to see how you think the way both guys defend plays into the other ones offense. To me this is why Derrick James says this fight comes down to focus. In the first 4-6 rounds can Errol touch Crawford enough times that when Crawford has to step on the gas and be special in the back half of the fight his tank is on “E”? And can Crawford defend well enough without losing rounds, to make Errol tactically come out of character, making room for a fight changing “sniper” shot down the stretch. This fight comes down to the first 4-6 rounds. This to me is why a lot of opponents similar to Lamont gave up on boxing him and felt they had to fight since they were getting touched anyways.
Over time he touches guys just enough that they start to break down. He throws the same volume of punches, one punch at a time, all with 75-80% power on them. Errol on the other hand, has the gift of consistency. And once that shot hits a guy, the fight is usually over. Crawford’s power is kind of like a sniper, he waits and stalks mentally till he sees an opening and then he ends you with creative punches that you don’t see coming. To me the outcome of this fight is heavily dependent on what happens in the early rounds. Watching tape and thinking about the fight the last couple of weeks I wanted to add another thought to my breakdown. Crawford, I mentioned my belief that Spence was the boxer in the fight, and Crawford was the puncher. …This is a very close fight in my opinion. Canelo also has an excellent chin, he’s never been down or stopped….Other than that. Canelo is the one fighter in boxing that the judges have given him the benefit of doubt in every single close fight he’s ever had. Jermell is a tremendous fighter but he can not lose 50% of the rounds vs Canelo. He had a controversial decision vs Martirosyan. He lost about 6 rounds in a row vs John Jackson. He usually scores a ko so it doesn’t come back to bite him but when he doesn’t score the ko then it’s a glaring reality. He loses about 50% of his rounds vs his better opponents. He doesn’t have many flaws but the one he does have is slightly concerning in this fight specifically. I think Jermell is possibly a HOF fighter. I don’t like to check off boxes when it comes to fights because a fight doesn’t work like that. Being more athletic and being more talented are different by the way. In Jermell's favor, I think Jermell is more conditioned. You can hit Jermell cleaner than you can hit Canelo. The biggest advantage that I believe Canelo has is natural talent in terms of his natural reflexes and defense and flashy combinations. The size advantage for Canelo is not that big for me. Right now I think 60/40 Canelo but I don't think Charlo gets blown out by any stretch.īread’s Response: I agree 100%. If Charlo can stay tight with his defense and be responsible on offense by not over committing and getting countered with something big I think the fight is winnable for him. Now I'm not saying Canelo is on his way out, but he has shown signs of slippage. Pac was in his prime and Oscar was on his way out.
I remember homies on the block and at the barber shop not giving Pac a chance and saying the fight was a clown show. This matchup has me thinking Pac vs De La Hoya. 168 would be more of a natural weight class for him do to nutrient and water retention.
Charlo probably walks around at about 180lbs. What people don't realize is how much weight fighters cut to fight in their desired weight class. As you said in a previous mailbag Charlo is taller and has a longer reach. Wassup Bread? I think a lot people are fooled by the perceived size difference between Canelo and Charlo. Terence Crawford, insurance for boxers, and more. The Daily Bread Mailbag returns with Stephen 'Breadman' Edwards tackling topics such as welterweight contender Jaron Ennis, Canelo Alvarez vs.
