If one still wonders how a fight can change perceptions, then they only need to look at the May 3 Canelo Alvarez vs. William Scull fight. Of course, the Cuban-born German fighter received a fair share of brickbats for running a marathon in the ring. But despite his profuse confessions, a lackluster performance against a fighter hitherto unknown had Canelo facing seething criticisms, not to mention the fans’ ire.
Given the mega showdown with Terence Crawford has now been officially confirmed, the problem compounds. Till recently, most felt that Canelo would roll over Crawford, who’s climbing up two divisions for the challenge. But last Saturday’s fight in Riyadh had many question their views. Some believe that Crawford may actually have a chance to stage a historic upset in September. Surprisingly, even those who may not have been on the best of terms with him now feel Crawford can turn the tables on Canelo. According to Derek ‘Bozy’ Ennis, the former undisputed champion just needs a few minor tweaks.
Speaking with YSM Sports Media, Bozy Ennis shed light on a range of topics, including the recently concluded Riyadh Season cards in New York and Riyadh. Given how the Canelo-Scull fight unfolded, with the least number of punches thrown in a 12-round fight in CompuBox history, the reporter first offered his apologies to Ennis.
If they were to meet, like most, he believed that Canelo enjoyed the upper hand over Crawford. But the Skull fight forced him to change his opinion and agree with Ennis, who always attested that the Canelo-Crawford fight is a 50/50 affair. “Terence got a great chance to beat him, man. You know what I mean. Terence can box. Terence can move. Terence can punch,” Jaron Ennis’ father insisted.
